Hi Ivo,

I'm sure there are lots of people like myself who look forward to 
reading what you write and send out over Zamir.

I really liked your last piece, as always. Don't join the militia just 
yet, though! I think a lot of Americans are going to get more and more 
tired of the kind of banking practices you wrote about, and then those 
practices will change. As an American who has lived outside of the 
United States for a long time, I've come to appreciate the way change 
occurs in American society when enough people demand it. It may take 
longer than we want, but it happens.

Besides, have you had to deal with any European banks lately? If so, 
then you know they make American banks look like a customer's paradise 
by comparison. In Germany, you can pay $2.75 (DM 4.00) for making a $275
(DM 400) withdrawal from your own account at an ATM. Terrific, isn't it?

Thank God Citibank is in Europe. It may not seem so wonderful to people 
in the States, but compared to German banks Citibank practically gives 
money away.

Anyway, all that's a long way from Bosnia. You were right. It's an 
indescribable tragedy that all those people were killed Monday in 
Sarajevo. If any good comes from that evil act, it may be that their 
deaths will represent a turning point in the Balkan situation. Now more 
people may take action to bring about conditions where everyone there 
who is good at heart - among the Croats, the Moslems, and the Serbs - 
can live and work together in peace.

Sincerely,

Bob Bennett
