The suicide in question was perpetrated in a college environment, and there was much headwagging and tongueclucking and seriousization over the affair, until Norman decided that what anybody glum enough to commit suicide really needed, was a wienie roast. This of course neatly polarized the community into those who thought it a Bad Idea and the Right Thinkers. Roger Hayes (...ucbvax!teklabs!rogerh ...decvax!teklabs!rogerh)
