    Any truth to the article in the Boston Globe (i.e. Digital is being
    awarded a $500M+ contract to postpone major lay-offs in the North East
    til after the presidential election in November)?  Merry Christmas !!

No, but Slick Bill has offered a multi-billion dollar contract to
Electric Boat to build submarines that the Defense department doesn't
want in order to buy votes by avoiding layoffs.

...and to think that there are still morons out there who talk about using the
peace dividend. 

By the way, people should think twice before spreading rumors, but they
should really think four or five times before spreading rumors that could
imply criminal activity.

    No truth whatsoever.  Someone leaked the E-mail that contained this
    rumor to the press.  A representative from Corp Relations denied the
    rumor and and was taking action to publicize this denial.  Last I heard, 
    they were trying to track down its source within the company.
