Garroting Survivors Call for Wire Ban

WASHINGTON, DC?The nation's garroting survivors
demonstrated outside the Capitol Monday, raising a hoarse but
plaintive cry for a nationwide ban on potentially lethal wire.
"Every year, dozens of people are severely injured or even killed
by garroting," croaked Gerald Michaels, who still bears a
necklace of scars from a 1997 telephone-cord-assisted
mugging that nearly claimed his life. "This legacy of shame will
continue until we eliminate the lethal wires that run through our
homes, above our streets, and through our very way of life."
Michaels recently accepted a $2 million grant from a coalition of
sponsors that included Bluetooth and Cingular Wireless.
