Looming overhead was the 36 steam from the pipes, the grimy faces of the ones who still slaved for the 37 machine, and our destiny in the maw of the machine. 38 The rain was pouring down the steel path before us. Our feet were awash in 39 water and steel. I was the first to lose my footing. I almost fell, but saved 40 myself by running faster and faster until I was on my feet again. 41 So when the girl fell onto her chest and slid along, it took me two or 42 three seconds to go back for her. I faced the way we came. I saw the halftrack 43 rolling closer and closer under full steam. Panic set in. I grabbed the girl's 44 hand and pulled as hard as I could. She was not getting up.

Galileo will have 49.25 pounds of plutonium on board, most of 280 it plutonium 238, a radioisotope 300 times more radioactive than the 281 one used as fuel for atomic bombs. 282 Critics of the plan, such as Dr. John Gofman, professor of 283 medical physics at the University of California, Berkeley, and Michio 284 Kaku, professor of nuclear physics at the City University of New York 285 claim that putting Galileo's plutonium payload into space is both 286 risky and unnecessary. 287 The plutonium will be used to fuel "radioisotope thermoelectric 288 generators" which keep instrumentation warm. Although NASA and the 289 DOE say there are no alternatives, professor Kaku asserts that the 290 latest advances in solar cells make it possible to generate solar 291 electricity even as far away as Jupiter, Galileo's destination. 292 NASA downplays the possibility of the release of plutonim in an 293 accident, stressing that the substance will be encapsulated in "clads" 294 made from iridium alloy in a graphite shell. The DOE contends that 295 clads can withstand explosive pressures up to 2,200 pounds per square 296 inch. However, a DOE safety analysis report on the Galileo mission 297 obtained under FOIA states that from the viewpoint of potential 298 nuclear fuel release, the most critical accidents would occur on the 299 launch pad. Launch pad accident scenarios, such as "tipovers" and 300 "pushovers" are estimated to generate explosive pressures as high as 301 19,600 psi. 302 Once in space, Galileo is still potentially danglerous. Since 303 the solid-fuel rocket substituted for the highly volatile liquid-fuel 304 Centaur rocket used in the Challenger does not have the power of the 305 Centaur, NASA devised a plan to use the earth's gravitational pull to 306 increase the rocket's momentum sufficiently to reach Jupiter. During 307 the "flyby" orbits around the earth, Galileo would at times be only 308 277 miles overhead. A 1987 NASA report estimates the chance of 309 Galileo inadvertently reentering the earth's atmosphere to be less 310 than one in a million, and, as such, an accident scenario is deemed 311 not credible. 312 NASA set the probability figures for the chance of a shuttle 313 accident at one in 100,000 for thhe Challenger. Investigation 314 following the crash put the figure at closer to one in 25. 315 While "The Lethal Shuttle: Plutonium Payload Scheduled" was one 316 of the top 10 overlooked stories cited by Project Censored in 1986, 317 the continued failure of the media to draw attention to the potential 318 risk of Project Galileo fully warrants its renomination for 1987. 319 320 SOURCES: THE NATION, 1/23/88, "The Space Probe's Lethal Cargo," 321 by Karl Grossman;, pp 1, 78; L.A.

Matter is an incarnation of energy (ref. Einstein, 348 et. al.), therefore everything is energy, but existing in two states. 349 350 Think it over... 351 352 353 * * * 354 355 The Tower loomed in the distence, seemingly forgotted. Large birds 356 flew overhead, hundreds circling the tower for prey. As dark as the 357 surroundings were at that place, one could make out things that 358 slithered and oozed along the walls. Every now and then a bird would 359 swoop down and sieze one of the creatures on the walls, and fly off as 360 the thing would struggle and spurt blood into the air, making 361 horrid screams. The tower itself was in a state of decay, with 362 some sections covered in filth and overgrowth, others with holes 363 where previous adventurerers had fought and lost against the 364 inhabitents. Large burnmarks and places where the wall was 365 cracked or partly missing could be seen at this distence; 366 such was the size of the place. It drew energy towards itself 367 at a mind-boggling rate, which would explain for the clouded appearence 368 around it on a sunny day. Even the motion of the circling birds 369 overhead gave some energy, as the poor beasts tryed to stay aloft 370 from the gravitational pull. 371 372 Then I 'felt' it. 373 374 He was in a serious condition. I gave him an energy tap to keep 375 the Orb from drawing all of his existence away from him. 376 377 John and the Brownie were up, and nearly going at it again. 378 379 Kurfur was fully awake, and from the look of his Eyes, I could 380 tell what he wanted. The way he stared at the tower, with 381 no mercy, no pity. He wanted more than revenge. He wanted 382 his pride. He would not be denied a warrior's fate. And a warrior's 383 life; only when the Dark Ones were slain, pacified, or neutralized 384 would he rest or eat. And even then, the scar would still be 385 barely visible. 386 387 The energy tap I made was becoming tight; I widened the stream 388 as the Orb continued its drain. I had to get him to the tower, 389 into the heart of the tower. There, he would find the Orb, but 390 he would only be able to recover it at great risk to his 391 life, for in the holding chamber, there were many traps and 392 creatures I dare not describe, and things that would 393 haunt my mind in my dreams for years to come. And, for every 394 person that failed, their carcus would be either strewn on the 395 floor from where the bones were regurgitated, or where a trap 396 had ripped or poked or crushed or cut the life out of their frail 397 bodies. 398 399 John had to be stable throughout all of this; if he should 400 become unglued from the horrors in this, his fear could have 401 a drastic effect on the time flow of the tower. And, life forbid, 402 if he should lose his sanity, I could not figure if it would 403 react to the strange powers in that vile place. The dimension might 404 even cease to exist, as the interaction of energies would snuff out 405 all of our existences in the twinkling of an eye. 406 407 And that was only the beginning. 408 409 Between the energy tap, the interaction of my existence and the 410 strange energies of this place, John's mental stability (which I 411 would probably need to stablize through thought transference), 412 and keeping Kurfur alert after X number of beserkergangs, my hands 413 would basically be tied. In short, an easy target for the Dark Ones. 414 415 I remembered: 416 417 "If you should fail, pick up the pieces and make the most of it." 418 419 If I failed, I would have to literally give my life to every 420 person present. It would insure their safe return to the Inn, 421 when this was over. 422 423 I just realized I was whistling while I was p*ssing. I 424 concentrated ahead to see if the creatures were lying in ambush; 425 I found that they were in the tower. Along with everyone and everything. 426 427 I took a breath, uttered a short mantra for a minute in meditation, 428 and then opened the Eye. 429 430 I smiled. I knew. I could not tell the others, but it 431 would be alright. I could tell them afterwards. I closed the Eye. 432 433 "Let's go." I hovered towards the tower at about a walking speed. 434 435 Hagbard Celine 436 437 ps. Pizza? Good answer!

It was still night, so we weren't noticed by any of the guards 448 as of yet. The Wanderer was lighting the way for us against the darkness 449 with a magic spell that he knew. We could still see much against the sky 450 though, and it was becoming lighter, annoucing the beginning of a new day, 451 which would hopefully see the end of the Lords of Darkness. 452 The Wanderer spoke the dissolve magic spell spell, and just after that 453 the first light of the sun peeked from behind the Citadel, though it soon 454 be came lost in the dismal mist surrounding the tower and covering the sky. 455 The Guru signaled us to begin our advance on the tower and began by 456 moving ahead at a nice walking speed. I moved up behind the Guru and asked 457 him, "If it isn't night how can we get by the guards without being seen?" 458 "I have altered the light waves that we reflect, bending them so the 459 guards see only the familiar, though sickening, field and forest that they 460 are so used to. Just as light waves can be bent, so can sound waves.", he 461 said alknowing. 462 "I see...", and I fell into step beside him. 463 Kurfur had hatred and malice in his eyes as he walked on the other side 464 of the Guru, wanting to destroy the Lords of Darkness to the last man. 465 The Wanderer and his ever hungry for power Orb was just behind Kurfur and 466 to his left. Johnny Edison Interdemensional Polic Officer was just behind 467 me carrying the tub which, at the push of a button, had transformed into a 468 small cube in his right hand, and next to him the Brownie was walking, for 469 the first time there was a silence between them as they gazed at the tower 470 with apprehension. 471 We approached the moat whose drawbridge was up and in the water were 472 a altered breed of Phiranah fish who were always hungry and attacked in 473 milliseconds - leaving bones in the water where that person fell in. The 474 Guru moved towards me and inquired, "Do you know a spell that can make 475 a bridge? Or something similar?", he said. 476 I turned to him and replied, "No, but I do know a spell that makes wood 477 timbers, which can be used to make a bridge." 478 "I can alter the structure and arrangement of things, but not make 479 things with my power. I will make a bridge from your wood boards", he said 480 sounding relived that he had found a way across. 032=Usr:104 Trokin Korka 08/23/88 13:18 Msg:2159 Call:10003791 Lines:29 481 I then thought of something and became very worried and asked the Guru, 482 "How are you going to shield the bridge from the guards sight and sound 483 also, while you are shielding us?" 484 "That is a problem", he said and thought for a moment,"Kurfur, could 485 you incapacitate those two guards on this side of the tower...And make it 486 quiet and quick." 487 Kufur moved over to the guard on the far right and hit him on the back 488 of the head when the other guard was lookig in the other direction. He 489 moved speedily over to the second sentenial and completed his job most 490 effeciently. 491 I brought up the spell and said, "Kanee Rheenar Morook", which caused 492 many wooden, cut boards to appear on the near bank of the moat. The Guru 493 motioned his hand causing them to conform into a make-shift bridge. 494 We moved across the bridge and onto the side of the Citadel. I stopped 495 and said a destroy my own spells work spell, which caused the wood to 496 vanish to be called up when we were ready to leave. I went over to the 497 group which was standing next to the closed drawbridge. The Guru then 498 said, "I will change your molecular densities causing you and all of your 499 posessions to be able to move through this drawbridge, but still be able 500 to move by my mental propulsion", and as he was saying this, we suddenly 501 saw the surroundings as very small and minute, due to the fact that our 502 eyes also changed in density, and moved forward through the tiny 503 drawbridge and porticulous. 504 When we passed through the entryway we returned to normal size, inside 505 the Citadel of the Lords of Darkness. 506 ...

If quality of the reporting 511 in the other stories is of the same level as that in the one about the 512 plutonium inthe Galileo probe, then they aren't news stories! Rather, they are 513 *poorly written* propaganda! 514 515 First of all, the plutonium *even if it escaped* would *not* be evenly 516 distributed. Speculating on the effects if it was evenly distributed is like 517 speculating on the effects on world climate if rainfall is evenly distributed! 518 519 Second, The fact that the isotope is more radioactive than that used in bombs 520 is another red herring. The isotopes used in nuclear weapons, aren't all that 521 radioactive. Heck, the radioisotopes in your *smoke alarm* are more radioactive 522 than the stuff in this probe! (yes, Virginia, there are radio-isotopes in your 523 smoke detector. It won't work without them!) (btw, there's a lot more than 40 524 pounds of such isotopes out there in consumer products like smoke detectors, 525 and they are a *lot* more likely to be released) 526 527 As for the hazards, the type of generators used on missions like Galileo have 528 been tested in real explosions! (a few of them in accidents). One such unit 529 was in a satellite whose booster exploded. They recovered the generator 530 *intact* from the Atlantic, and put it in the replacement satellite when they 531 launched it. 532 533 There was one on the LM on Appollo 13. In case you've forgotten, the LM re- 534 entered at speeds similar to those that Galileo would be at during those 535 near Earth gravity slingshots. The LM burned up. They never found the 536 generator, but careful monitoring showed no trace of the plutonium so it *must* 537 may landed intact. (It would be on the abyssal plain in mid-Pacific if you 538 care to look for it). 539 540 This whole story is based on the paranoia surrounding the word "plutonium". 541 __________________________________Leonard______________________________________ 034=Usr:96 Steve LaPlante 08/23/88 17:45 Msg:2161 Call:10003797 Lines:13 542 543 544 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 545 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 546 Trine is nervous.

The largest increase was in 562 military aid which jumped to 28 times the 1979 level. In exchange, 563 Honduras agreed to become a base for some 15,000 Nicaraguan "contras," 564 to join the U.S. military in joint maneuvers, and to provide 565 logistical and intelligence support to the Salvadoran military in its 566 war against the guerrillas. 567 During the same time period, U.S. aid designated for development 568 assistance dropped from 80 percent to six percent. 569 To make matters even worse, floods washed away 60 percent of the 570 corn crop in southern Honduras in May 1986. A severe summer drought 571 followed the flood, destroying all that remained of the corn and 572 wiping out 60 percent of the area's sorghum. 573 Bishop Raul Corriveau, the archbishop of Choluteca, said, 574 "We've seen scenes of misery like never before. Children with swollen 575 bellies, old people looking like corpses, women and children begging 576 for food, men roaming the streets searching for work." 577 Due to airstrips and bases built by the U.S. and the presence of 578 contras and American troops (80,000 troops in 1987), Hondurans living 579 in the southern region and along the eastern border have been 580 displaced. The livelihoods of 2,000 Honduran coffee growers have been 581 destroyed and 16,000 Hondurans have been forced to leave their homes. 582 Orphanages and temporary shelters have been filled with "economic 583 orphans" -- children who have been abandoned by parents who can no 584 longer afford to raise them ... parents who have seen their coffee 585 bean fields turned into battlefields. 586 It has been estimated that 70 percent of the children are 587 malnourished. Among those brought to the capital's hospital for 588 treatment, 10 to 15 percent die due to a lack of vitamins. 589 Dr. Juan Almendares, a physician conducting research on 590 malnutrition at the National University in Tegucigalpa, "When the 591 government says there is no money available to help the hungry, we 592 must remember that Honduras receives more than $200 million a year 593 from the U.S. government. We Hondurans ask why isn't any of this money 594 going to help the poor?" 595 Ann M. Kelly, editor of FOOD FIRST NEWS, a quarterly published by 596 the Institute for Food and Development Policy, wrote the following 597 lead to Medea Benjamin's article about the Honduran situation: 598 "While working on a new Food First book in Honduras, Medea 599 Benjamin -- Food First's Central American analyst -- uncovered a food 600 crisis of frightening proportions in the southern part of the country. 601 We alerted national media in the United States but the story went 602 uncovered." 603 604 SOURCES: FOOD FIRST NEWS, Vol. 9, No. 28, Spring 1987, "Hunger in 605 Southern Honduras," p 2, and FOOD FIRST ACTION ALERT, 1987, 606 "Honduras: The Real Loser in U.S. War Games," pp 1-4, both by Medea 607 Benjamin; MOTHER JONES, January 1987, "The Pentagon Republic of 608 Honduras, by Fred Setterberg, pp 21-24, 51-54, 609 610 696969696969696969 611 036=Usr:84 Michael Miller j 08/24/88 12:29 Msg:2163 Call:10003813 Lines:6 612 &*&*&*&*'s 613 Hello everyone, I'm back! 614 (Please keep the applause to a minimum :- ) ) 615 An Astral Dreamer. 616 &*&*&*&*'s 617 037=Usr:245 Doug King 08/24/88 17:48 Msg:2164 Call:10003822 Lines:3 618 619 Y A W N . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 620 038=Usr:96 Steve LaPlante 08/24/88 18:24 Msg:2165 Call:10003825 Lines:8 621 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 622 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 623 Trine greets Astral Dream and bids him VALE!

Species extinction of both plants and animals has 639 accelerated rapidly in the 20th century and has reached what many feel 640 is a state of crisis. From 1600 to 1900, one species disappeared every 641 four years; now perhaps 1,000 species become extinct each year. The 642 Worldwatch Institute pamphlet on conserving the diversity of life, 643 published in June 1987, predicts the extinction rate in 20 years will 644 reach more than 100 species per day. 645 The loss of life forms is more than an aesthetic issue. The 646 rapid extinction of food crop germplasm represents a disaster in the 647 making. Unless the trend is slowed, mass famine on a global scale is 648 a real possibility. The International Board for Plant Genetic 649 Resources has issued warnings that the genetic diversity of many of 650 the staple crops that feed the world such as wheat, rice, barley, 651 millet, and sorghum is imperiled. 72% of the U.S. potato crop is 652 concentrated in four genetic strains. Six varieties account for 71% 653 of the corn crop. Of the cataloged vegetables grown in the U.S. in 654 1901/02, less than four percent still existed in 1985. 655 Genetic diversity is a prerequisite for agricultural success. 656 Genetic uniformity makes crops vulnerable to environmental threats 657 such as pests, blight, and drought. The Irish potato famine was the 658 result of genetic uniformity. The U.S. lost 75% of its durum wheat 659 crop in 1953/54 and 50% of its corn crop in 1970, both due to genetic 660 uniformity. 661 The dimunition of diversity has led to what some researchers call 662 the global "seed wars." As plant species disappear around the world, 663 "access to, control over and preservation of plant genetic resources 664 becomes a matter of international concern and conflict." The vast 665 majority of the world's genetic resources is concentrated in the Third 666 World. In order to prevent crop stains from inbreeding, the industrial 667 nations resort to "germplasm appropriation," a strategy for collecting 668 plant genetic material from Third World countries. The fact that the 669 "collection" is done without recompense further exacerbates tensions 670 between industrial and developing nations. 671 The Plant Variety Protection Act legislation of 1970, which 672 broadened the interpretation of U.S. patent laws to allow corporations 673 to patent seed varieties, has accelerated the extinction rate of food 674 crop germplasm. Germplasm appropriated from the Third World is sold 675 back to developing countries in the form of hybridized, patented seed. 676 Farmers in the world's centers of diversity are planting genetically 677 uniform crops more and more frequently, thus causing further loss of 678 indigenous seed. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization 679 estimates that two thirds of all Third World crops will be from 680 uniform strains by the year 2000. 681 The disappearance of genetic diversity either by accident or 682 design is a critical issue that has had little media coverage or 683 public debate. Germplasm has not made headlines. There are no "Save 684 the Barley" bumperstickers. Yet every day, more and more of our 685 precious food sources disappear forever. 686 687 SOURCES: UTNE READER, Jan/Feb 1988, "Conserving the Diversity of 688 Life," by Jeremiah Creedon, pp 15-16; MOTHER JONES, December 1982, 689 "Seeds of Disaster," by Mark Schapiro, pp 11-15, 36-37. 690 691 696969696969696969 040=Usr:272 Talos 08/24/88 23:09 Msg:2168 Call:10003840 Lines:6 692 <*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*> 693 Just bought a copy of Good Morning Vietnam.

It looked pretty sick. It was getting longer and 919 longer by the hour then it was crawling on the0floob, which tasted pretty 920 awful then it wrapped around the house a couple of times before it went out 921 in the street. A big large semi truck was heading full speed right towards 922 my tongue. I freaked! I could not do anything about the siteqtio~. So the 923 truck was moving faster and faster and faster. OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!! I screamed 924 as the tire rolled over my slobbeering tongue. Blood everywhere. It was a 925 disgusting and unforgetable sight. So now I cannot talk anymore. I loct my 926 tongue in surgery. The doctors tried to tie it in a big fat not. But it 927 didn't work so finally they had to ?(this is sick) chop it off with a big ugly 928 chainsaw that was in grandma's kitchen. Eventually I began to say words again 929 with what little tongue I had left. This is basically the end of this awful 930 and totaly fake story. Thanx for listening.
