Vanity Fair Article on DU - with an Ed Battle recommendation ofRokke!

[Doug Aitken <daitken@sugar-land.oilfield.slb.com>]

The December issue od Vanity Fair has a major article on DU and its health 

hazards.

If I knew nothing about the topic I would definitely be influenced to 

believe that DU was truly deadly!



and the list of effects is truly staggering (right down to "burning semen" 

- the effects of which are described in great deatail...) and they have 

highlighted a new catch phrase "DU-positive" (in an obvious attempt to 

compare its danger to AIDS!).



As for Rokke, he gets a majot exposure, including his Dec 1995 appraisal 

from Ed Battle "Captain Rokke has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to 

function well above his current rank and is as effective as any I have 

known" ......... "his achievements have been absolutely phenomenal"......



Maybe a letter to the editor from an expert in the field is called for?



I know that Vanity Fair is an extremely "liberal" magazine, but it has a 

pretty wide readership.....

Doug Aitken
