... source, David (a knowledgeable West Point classmate), so checking out didn't seem necessary.

It sounds like you have some specific information about this (one of the advantages of working for a newspaper! <g>). If you know, is Professor Klingman a real person? And was he actually a prisoner of the North Vietnamese? I take it that some of the specifics are accurate; do you know which are and which are not?

Even to Jane Fonda, I would apologize for passing on false information. On the other hand, it is my feeling that whatever the exact details, her trip to Hanoi alone was treasonous. As a result, I have never been to see a movie in which she appeared and will not watch her on television. As I have mentioned in another context (baseball strike), I can really hold a grudge, if properly motivated.

Thanks for the clarifications. ----- jim o\-S
