This is the second time you've posted this particular message. I've been
looking for the past two days for the story and am unable to find it on the
AP wire as carried at the NY Times site. There was a story there about VW
and Mercedes, but no mention of Leitz or any other optical manufacturer. Nor
have I heard any such mention in a number of radio reports, including a
quite extensive story on NPR.

As this is a touchy subject around here, it would be nice to lay the story
to rest as apocryphal, or get more details.

Fellow Leicaphiles,

I call your attention to the following AP article published on the AOL
Today's
News channel. What do you make of it? Hdden in there is something about
Leica
Wetzlar (Leitz).
