radiation?

OK - here is a second response with a reference that may indirectly lead to 

the answer:



A. Frieben described in 1902 cancer in an X-ray ulcer (Forsch. Grb. (Geb.?) 

Röntgenstr., Vol. 6, page 106). My reference is indirect - a photocopy of 

bad quality that now has survived 27 years among my paper stacks.

PS. Don't forget to vote YES (JA) or NO (NEJ) to "radiation free zones" (for 

those hypersensitive to electricity) if you didn't already do it at

(down to the right at the main page)

Each vote is about 0.3 percent...
