IT'S NOT SO JOLLY ANYWHERE

WHILE watching the news on television, I saw that gang wars and street killings in Russia have risen drastically over the past few months. An American diplomat was killed in one European country by gun, machine-gun and hand-gun fire.

Crime in jolly old England is on the rise. Bobbies are carrying pistols on their hips and shotguns in their cars.

But wait, there is something wrong. I have been told for years there is no crime in Europe, because they have gun control. What went wrong?

GEORGE W. BUSH SR.
