And another friendly correction to Mr. Cohen - I believe that radon and its 
daughter products predominate in the background exposure arena - certainly 
not long-lived by any stretch of the imagination.

Mr. Cohen - keep writing and keep an open mind.  You might find that you are 
being used.  There is a reason that these so-called studies are not published 
in peer-reviewed journals.  If this list could change one mind, it would be 
worthwhile.
