leave to file a Brief Amici Curiae in the 
instant appeal. Amici are organizations 
dedicated to protection of the right to

proof and persuasion. Amici also argue 
that the decision herein should be based 
on evidentiary principles universally ap­

Curiae, have not been presented by the 
parties. Yet, they are critical for
proper disposition of this appeal. For
