I guess that 3% tax increase on Tea in Boston can be forgiven...

Political Correctness
A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
Thank you for that.
Nowadays our government leaders have learnt that honesty and fair play are no longer the way that things are done. Unfortunately, the police haven't locked the bastards up yet :-(
Mark Rand RTFM
Wonder if it was in partial payment for lend lease and such. We built Radar (Dad was production supervisor for Naval Radar) and once the war was over, he was drafted! Went to Germany. Naturally.
The British Navy got American Radar that was made and the Magnetron was used in the transmission section of the output.
It was after all a joint project - freedom - at the time.
It seems to me that today's people often forget how it was (since it was long before their birth...) and often guess or hear wrongly.
