"Mace" is the brand name of a self-defence device.  It can be used to spray
hot-pepper oil against a would-be rapist, mad dog, OS/2 advocate, and such
like. ;-)

But seriously, I think the "Gates" above refers to the ex-commissioner of
L.A.P.D. (Daryle or something like that) who was force to resign after the
Ronney King case (in which Mace was also used *before* the beating).  He
later worked with Sierra-on-line in producing "Police Quest: Open Season".
