	A true story:  My father, who works for a national television news
organization (oh, all right, ABC News) just switched jobs inside the company.
He got a lot of goodbye gifts from the people at his old position, including
an economy-pack size bag of Kool-Aid mix that a correspondent had retrieved
from Jonestown.  It's sitting in our pantry now.  Presumably the stuff itself
is safe, since they mixed it up and then added the cyanide, but I'm not going
to try it out.  (Don't worry, we have intention of ever opening the bag -- 
it'll go into our "bizarre souvenirs" room.)
