Re[2]: News article

[Ruth Weiner <rfweine@sandia.gov>]

     This message is in response to my attempts to get the Tennessean 
     article.  Apparently the URL Shelley put up does work.
     
Also, RADSAFERs please note:  the Tennessean article appeared in this morning's 
(10/1) Albuquerque Journal, with a tiny addition to make it New Mexico-relevant.
 Maybe it's because we have Los Alamos, but maybe it's because the article is 
being widely disseminated.  I intend to write a refuting Letter to the Editor 
and I would encourage others to do the same.  Not only is the article misleading
with respect to "hundreds...scores..." of people "near" the sites (Oak Ridge has
about 300,000 "nearby") but the article is vague about exactly what array 
of,physical problems are present, what the exposure time was, how the problem 
was related to the exposure, etc.  The article reads like a fairly typical 
anti-nuke scare story.

Clearly only my own opinion.

Hi Ruth--
     
Funny . . . I just tried it on your reply and it went right through.  I 
found the article on our 'Newscenter' (today's edition) in the 'Heads Up' 
section, first story.  I can't believe (well, yeah I can) what gets 
printed some times.
     
I really wanted to share this with RadSafe.  Would you try to get it out 
there?  Maybe it's RCT error. :>)
