I did snip it (or, rather Snagit), but it kept coming out the same size, even though I enlarged it on my screen -- seems to relate to the type of image. Never happened before. Tried making it a pdf, & it still only reproduced in reduced size.

Snipped, pasted onto Word, made it bigger and then re-snipped. Is SnagIt an Apple thing?

This is very close in time to the fires set in New York City. That took place on Nov 25, and by some accounts, some of the CS agents slipped over the border from Canada. They then fled to Canada. Lt. Robert Cobb Kennedy got bored in Canada, tried to recross into the states (at Detroit, I think) but detectives were waiting for him. He was hanged for his part in the plot.
