[Steven Dapra]

Aug. 1

         This is an Op-Ed article by Peter D. Zimmerman, James M. Acton, 
and M. Brooke Rogers.  At the end of the article they are described 
thusly:  Peter D. Zimmerman is a professor of science and security, James 
M. Acton is a lecturer and M. Brooke Rogers is a researcher at King's 
College London.

         Do any RADSAFErs know anything else about any of the authors?
