AW: AW: [ RadSafe ] Asbury Park Press on Mangano's press conference

[John Jacobus]

Franz,
Sandy and I know each other.  While we may argue, we
will remain friends.

I doubt that there are many who subscribe to this
list.  I would guess about 600, the majority just
"lurk." Those who write are certainly in the minority.
 Because there are so few writers and the same issues
arise, the same responses are repeated.

Personally, I would not waste my time writing to the
Asbury Park Press.  They only print what is given
them, and notices like that for the Mangano press
conference is a nice filler, next to the
advertisements for WalMart and underwear.  The nuclear
plants in NJ are not in any danger of being closed.
