DENNY Constantine revealed
to the San Jose Mercury News
that he was part ofa team that

almost got the go-ahead to -

drop tlying-bat bombs on
Japan in World War II.

The plan: Tiny incendiary
: devices would be attached to
millions of bats, which would
be put into egg-carton-like
trays in a bombshell) When
the bats were released, they
would roost in Japan’s waod-
and-paper buildings, and fires
would start all over the coun-
try.

Such action, according to
“team. member Jack Couffer,
would “frighten, demoralize
and excite the prejudices” of
the (Japanese. President
‘Roosevelt was said to have
really liked the idea, but he
apparently: liked ‘the atom
_ bomb even more.

For the past year, Allen
Fahden has operated the
READundant. bookstore in
Nicollet mall.in Minneapolis,
set up like a traditional book-
store (sections on sports, reli-
gion, history, etc.). .

Unlike the traditional
bookstore, however, Fahden’s
shop has only one title in its

- §,000-book = inventory -—
Fahden’s- own management
book, Innovation on Demand.

Fahden said his store is
based on one of his manage-

ment principles: the use of

opposites to generate creative
thoughts. The store's” in-
house best-seller list shows
Tunovation on Demand oceu-
pying each of the 10 slots.

The = Washington — Post
reports that several self-
described members of the
Moorish Science ‘Temple in
Wasuington, D.C., had smug-
gled cocaine and prostitutes
into the District’s Lorton
Correctional Complex and at
one point made a 10-minute
video of prisoners and women
having sex in the prison
chapel.

The Temple “members”

had taken advantage of

Lorton’s lax procedures for
religious visitors.

And according to a recent
dispatch from the Canadian
Press, convicted murderer
Claude Robinson freely oper-
ates a pornography vending
business inside the Edmonton
maximum-security prison,
ordering such magazines as
Swank and Gallery from the
outside and selling them for
about $6 cach.

After arriving at
Baltimore-Washington
International Airport, the
daughter in a family of four
was refused boarding on
American Airlines.

Mother, father and son
presented driver’s licences as
ID to satisfy new FAA rules,
and the daughter presented a
student ID from — the
University of Maryland.

However, the American
Airlines clerk refused to
accept the card, saying that
even though it was issued by a
state university, it didn’t meet
the requirement of being
issued by a “government.”

On the basis of this denial,
the family meekly gave up
their already arranged vaca-

tion in Las Vegas and drove :

home.
