...Chemical Co. produces some 800 items from measles vaccine to brake fluid. It also produces the napalm used in Viet Nam-a fact that has set off near riots on several college campuses as 'antiwar demonstrators tried to prevent Dow job recruiters from interviewing students.

The stolen article is an old bird, metallic in nature and of no value to anyone. Its removal is an affront to the pride and intelligence of its keepers, and to law and order as well. The offenders should be treated like the loathsome degenerates they clearly...
