hegemony cricket! (was: hearsay on abortion)

[Tom Lehman]

Steve, I wouldn't blame it all on Cockburn.  If I remember correctly, the
Cleveland Plain Dealer played the story the same way.  John Ryan the
president of the Cleveland AFL-CIO has an opinion or two himself.  John
and I have never discussed the scarlet A question; although we have
talked about tobacco.  I smoke, he don't.  I have never solicited any
tobacco money---in a pinch I would.  John seems to be a pretty decent
fellow...and friendly.
