RE: Joel, Brinkley in No-Nukes Protest (Millstone)

["Lavera, Ron" <Ron.Lavera@nypa.gov>]

I think that their reply is somewhat different from the opinion that I heard
Dr. Morgan state at the recent New York city STAR convention.  At that
meeting, I he stated, somewhat to the discomfiture of the attending STAR
members, that he had a very high opinion of the professional integrity of
today's Health Physicist.

Were there any other attendees of that meeting that caught the same message
?

...   mine and mine alone  ...

		Dear RadSafers:

		Not to beat a dead horse, but I thought that this might be
of interest.  My
		curiousity got the better of me after reading the first
posting about last
		weekend's anti-nuke protest, prompting me to take a look at
STAR's
		(Standing for Truth About Radiation) website.  I thought
that it was
		interesting that the site contained bios of its Board of
Directors (which
		includes Mr. Baldwin), yet there was no information posted
about its
		"Technical Advisory Board".  I sent a question via e-mail to
STAR, asking
		about their Technical Advisory Board.  I've posted my
original message to
		STAR and their final response, which contains an interesting
opinion of the
		profession of health physics.  Read on.
