Well, folks, I haven't been idle either. The following letter from me was actually printed in the February Consumer Reports:

"BIRDS AND BACTERIA (CR's headline, not mine)

I was stunned that the January article on bacterial co9ntamination of chicken failed to mention irradiation as a way to eliminate the contamination. HAve you been co-opted by some sort of anti-radiation hysteria? Have you capitulated to the rumor that irradiating chickenswould be used to cover up unsanitary processing conditions? Isn't irradiation worth considering? After all, it's a tested process currently in use."

I had some other stuff, but this was all they printed. Better than nothing, anyway.
