It was on the ABC Nightline program of 2-28. No one interrupted or heckled her and I was able to hear her through. It is my opinion that she was, in fact, lying. I doubt that anyone could have gotten a different impression. The exchange about the 35K civilian deaths in El Salvador during the last year was enough evidence for me. It was also quite clear that the purpose of the whole thing, for her, was to get others to support the administration on this issue -- and not to inform people as to what was happening in El Salvador. If I had any doubts as to the justification of heckling J.K. and preventing her from speaking here in Berkeley a couple of weeks ago, they are now gone. I don't see why her desire to generate support for policies she is not truthful or honest about, and using deceit to do so, deserves any respect from anyone. Yigal Arens UC Berkeley
