[ RadSafe ] Busby's Fallujah paper -- a critique Thank you

[Steven Dapra]

Oct. 25

         You're welcome.

         I don't know if there's much that can be done.  It seems 
that virtually all of the popular press has solidly aligned itself 
with the anti-nuclear claque.  Did the journalist you mention below 
merely misinterpret the biostaticians' article, or did he 
deliberately twist it around?
