MISS ANN ELI S RAINS Austria "I think that the assassination of President Kennedy came as a great shock, not only to me but also to the people of Austria. We looked upon the U.S. as a symbol of security secur-ity and as the most advanced in the interpretation of human rights. The incident showed that even with the most perfect constitution one can't control the emotions of the individual. It shocked me to see this happen in a country which I chose for my second homeland because be-cause of its advanced standing in human rights." SADIG AL-SAJI Iraq ...
