CNN is reporting that Colby's canoe has been found on the Potomac and Colby is missing.
Don't tell me, let me guess: The guy who rented the canoe to him has suddenly retired, and has been reportedly seen going on a Park Avenue shopping spree. Right?
Jim, I don't find dumb jokes about dead people I liked particularly funny.
Aren't you making an assumption that Colby is dead? No body has been found, last I heard. Maybe he just decided that he wanted to disappear in a comparatively non-suspicious fashion? Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com

Having met Colby and being somewhat familiar with his political skills I would be surprised if he would ever think a drowning accident was "non-suspicious." William Colby, whatever anyone may think of intelligence, was quite a man, respected in the community, a major in the OSS and a World War II hero decorated 5 times. His like are not common. I hope he is found alive and well.

Having met Colby, I found him a very remarkable person, and also very pleasant. Unfortunately, I believe he's dead. R.I.P. --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
The guy I really liked was what's-his-face, the DCI who passed away during the REagan gameshow. Guy was cool, cause he always wore a hat. Just like the Soviet leaders, now that I think about it. Someday, walking sticks and hats will return to fashion. The South will rise again.
