     Somehow, Rich, your information is flawed as usual.  The group that was 
the object of the lawsuit is the Institute for Historical Review, in Torrence,
California.  The Institute has little or no direct connection with the 
pro-American, pro-freedom, pro-civil rights Liberty Lobby.  

     This lawsuit was just one more act of terrorism perpetrated by the
illegal Jewish Defense League and its minions.  They couldn't BOMB the 
I.H.R. out of existance, so now it's lawsuit time.  

     (On July 4, 1984, the library of the I.H.R. was forcibly entered
and firebombed by a professional arsonist.  The Jewish Defense League 
provided the police with the name of the arsonist.  J.D.L. members were
photographed dancing in the ashes.  Prior to the fire, the library had
been the target of vandalism and picketing by the J.D.L.  Recently,
the J.D.L. has taken credit for harassing workers and officials of the
I.H.R.  And this is America????)

     The fellow who "won" the suit was awarded the sum of $50,000 for the
reward money, and a penalty of $40,000 to $100,000 for "proving" that the 
Holocaust actually took place.  

     As for the I.H.R. recanting, don't hold your breath.  You may control
the courts, but you don't yet control freedom of expression in the U.S.

>They hoped that we would all find the claim so disgusting that we would
>all ignore it.  Personally I'm glad someone chose not to.

     Nope.  Suits like this can't be ignored.  It brings the subject out 
into the open, into the court of Public Opinion.  The trial transcripts are
public record.  It won't take long before the truth---one way or the other---
comes out.  

>No, it probably won't shut them up.  (Comments, Mr. Black?   Mr. Frith?)

     It sure won't.  In fact, it gives us more ammunition.

 >(Could someone elaborate on the sketchy details I acquired?)

     Read all about it in "The Spotlight," the weekly newspaper of the 
American Populist Party.


     Let me leave with an anecdote that I heard about "getting even:"

     There once was a cayote who liked to ravage the sheep of this one
Old Farmer named Clem.  So Clem put out a trap, and sure enough, the
cayote got hisself caught.

     Clem had bought a brand new pick-um-up truck, as Old Farmers are
inclined to do.  He and his friend, Si, were out drivin' around the 
countryside in the new truck, when they came across the cayote in the
trap.

     Si grabbed his 30-Aught-6, chambered a round, and said, "Clem,
now's our chance.  I'm gonna finish off that cayote once and for all."

     Clem thought for a minute.  "Now you hold on just a durned
minute, Si!  Shootin's too good for that ol' cayote.  I lost two hundred 
sheep to him.  I want to make him sufffer a little before he dies."

     So Clem blindfolded that old critter, tied a stick of dynamite to
his tail, lit the fuse, and opened the trap.

     Now this cayote's momma didn't raise any fools.  He ran and hid
right underneath that brand new pick-up truck.





     'Nuff said, Rich?
