In 1983, a public inquiry concluded that the fire at the residential home was accidental and that Lee was not responsible for it, nor therefore its consequences of killing eleven men. Senior fire investigation officers backed the inquiry's conclusions. Lee's eleven relevant manslaughter convictions were duly later quashed on the grounds that such contrary evidence made the convictions uneasy. This reduced Lee’s killing record to a total of 15 people, still more than any other British killer of similar time, and he never ceased to claim responsibility for the residential home blaze.
Someone here said Bruce would be hopeless against a grappler. Bruce didn't compete for one reason and one alone. Martial Arts was not a way of making money to him, not a way to prove himself above others. It was achieving enlightenment through the body and the mind connection. His philosophy, his dedication and his integrity are what made him a great man. He had less than 1% bodyfat. But he did not compete.

The class is based on the premise that Lee, an Asian-American who was raised in Hong Kong, would be more recognized as an alumnus if he were white. Thus, the class' project is ... about combating the alleged inst-itutional racism many class members believe is part of the structure of the UW.
