   Bach And Beethoven To Deter Druggies?

   AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Railway officials in a Dutch town plan to play
   classical music by the likes of Bach and Beethoven in the station's
   pedestrian tunnel, in the hope that it will drive away drug users,
   Dutch media said on Saturday.

   Officials in the town of Heerlen, near Maastricht in the south of
   the Netherlands, will first carry out tests on music by various
   composers to discover which one irritates junkies the most.

   The idea for the tunnel, which is close to a shelter for drug users,
   was taken on board by Heerlen after successful experiments in stations
   in Hamburg and Paris.

Scott Morrison,
who votes for Andriessen, since he's Dutch

 [That would certainly send me screaming from the tunnel.  -Dave]
