	Just a quick reality check.  I thought that Millstone Unit 2 and 3
are now on line, Unit 1 was the only permanently shut down unit.  

	So I wonder, did the good Mr. Mangano go back and do further
research to see if infant mortality rates increased because Unit 2 and 3
returned to power?

	Seems to me this goes along the line of a thread that was discussed
here several months ago on manipulating statistical data to say what you
want.

	Get money and your fifteen minutes, meet some famous people, truth
be damned.
