MIXED MOTIVES
Sometimes our generosity comes from mixed motives. It seems that some vandals had cut down six royal palms along Miami’s Flagler Street. Since the palms are very expensive, Dade County authorities weren’t sure if they could replace them very soon. But then someone donated six more and even had them put in. The old ones had been about 15 feet tall and provided a nice foreground for a “Fly Delta” billboard. The new palms are 35 feet tall — completely hiding the sign. The new donor: Eastern Airlines.
