Re: Rumor Control

That's correct.  Look up slander.  Libel, of course, is another case entirely, but I don't think Bill's question was that either.
 
And she adds:
"Do you think Bucer's runs by itself? It's owned by people with names. It's not an impersonal vending machine that drops cups in to a slot.  Hey Auntie...you might feel more sympathetic if it was your establishment."
 
You misjudge me, Lucy.  If there's no foundation to this rumor, then I will be very sympathetic.  It's a nasty story, but it's also one I've heard before.  A variation on it was circulating last spring.  I would be exceedingly happy if it could be retired with certainty.  If untrue, it's very unfair to Bucer's; if true, it's disturbing to people like me.
