concurring:
I concur with the opinion in this case, but feel compelled to reiterate my continuing hope that federal courts, like the Emperor in Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado, may fashion “punishment to fit the crime.” Severe mandatory minimum sentences ofttimes frustrate that goal. See, e.g., Harmelin v. Michigan, — U.S. —, 111 S.Ct. 2680, 115 L.Ed.2d 836 (1991).
