Re: FW: Major Symposium on Radiation and Health - Save the D

Look's like open debate to me.  A who's who among the antinuclear establishment.
 Was this organized by Alec Baldwin in response to Brookhaven?  Maybe its a 
class reunion for the anti's.  I wonder if Shirley Jackson or Robert McNamara 
will show up?
