Re: Fwd: Student Accused in Poisoning Case

	Before everyone goes jumping up and down over some minor
misprints in the Providence-Journal, I want to tell you that the article
in the Sunday Providence-Journal was fairly low key and clear.  Of
course, Ninni Jacob will know all the facts (talk about baptism by fire,
Ninni has it tough), but I was surprised at how fair the article seemed
to be.  

	Of course we know that I-125 is not used for diagnosis or therapy
of thyroid problems, and we know that the half-life of I-125 is about 60
days, but apart from that, I felt the writer kept her (I think it was a
woman reporter) head.
