- Perhaps we can base our decisions about whom to believe about the
- collision of the Greenpeace ship with the Japanese escort on
- figuring out who gained by the collision and its resultant publicity.

- It seems to me that Greenpeace got even more publicity than it otherwise
- would have gained. It probably got even more donations from individuals
- and foundations.
-
- Does Jym think that the Japanese gained by the collision?
