[ RadSafe ] [DUStory] Hiroshima Newspaper Series Reappears

[stewart farber]

Hi John,
Perhaps many of the members of radsafe shouldn't be so hard on Franz and his 
occasional typos. I know he writes English better than I write German. But, 
Vernial?

Did you mean to write venial?:
venial
     adj 1: warranting only temporal punishment; "venial sin" [syn: minor]
     2: easily excused or forgiven; "a venial error" [syn: excusable,
         forgivable]

I know what you meant to write instead of Vernial,  but it is funnier for me 
to think you are suggesting tjat  the couple in question, reporting the odd 
problems involved in their sex lives,  had a venial disease. :-)
