RE: Ernest Rising

To all:

	"Dr" Sternglass has been telling us since the early '60s' that we
were all going to die
	from the Fallout due to the strontium-90 in it.  I believe he wrote
a book on it.  	Fortunately I did not die of it and since then the levels in
food and milk are now at or 	near background, no one to my knowledge has.
He must be afraid that since California 	has an energy crisis, and
they may want to build some power plants (maybe including a 	nuclear
one).  I believe the data shows that the nuclear fuel cycle adds 3 mRem/year
(.03 	mSieverts/year).  He'll be wanting to evacuate the Rockies where
Denver's background is 200 	mRem/year (2 mSieverts).

All,
Ernest Sternglass was in San Luis Obispo last night speaking the language of
death and destruction.  He ranted and rambled on TV, the radio, and to an
audience at Cal Poly, our local university.

The audience was the same, pretty much, in all venues.  That audience is a
group of about 3 dozen "activists" who, like roller-coaster junkies or
horror movie aficionados, just like to be scared.

My question, especially to Dr. Cohen is:  What does Ernest really do?
He gets his credibility by being a professor of physics at the University of
Pittsburgh.
I went to Pitt.  That's where I got my masters degree with Gur, and Watson,
and Wald and the like.  I never saw Sternglass there, and believe me I
looked.  I never had a class with him.  

I have been to lectures or presentations by Dr. Cohen.

Thanks in advance,
