A while after KAL 007 went down, the wife of somebody who died on that
flight sued Korean Airlines, the government of Korea, Boeing, Litton
(they made the airplane's instruments), and the company that made the
airplane's engines.  Perhaps if she had known who made the rubber in
the airplane's tires, *they* would have been included, too.

After a man shot a whole bunch of people in a MacDonald's restaurant,
a relative of one of the victims sued MacDonald's for damages.

I saw both of these gems reported in the newspaper, but I never saw
what became of them.  Does anybody know how these cases ended?  Did
the defendants have to waste much time or money?
