“Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute” With the three toughest letters of the
alphabet left in my Law A-Z series, it was time to wrap up XY and Z. Luckily, way back in 1778 an important event
is our history occurred. It was called
the “XYZ Affair” (I’m sure all of you remember from social studies). Anyway, the affair declared to the world that
the United States does not exchange peace for money. Certainly those who have loved ones held as
hostages would be very happy to exchange money for an immediate release. But it is illegal to do so, and thus a topic
ripe for discussion on this morning’s “Open” tv show. A new legal series is on the way starting in
January. Meanwhile, here is the link to
our last Law A-Z series starring the letters XY and Z:
