As I understand it (Glen being out of town for a couple
weeks - Kiwiland or someplace) whiteness could cut both
ways. Look up a short story apparently based rather loosely
on real events called "The Price of the Head" - I'd say it
was published 90-100 years ago, so bear in mind when assessing
it that that was a time when the western view of South Seas
Islanders, in fact, nonwhite cultures in general, was less
than progressive.

It's a rather good story in and of itself, too, despite its
racist premises.

Hey, gotta question for the others. Why are premises often called
premisses in mathematics?
