Lisa;

I agree but how?

This has not been covered in the press; very disappointing for a variety of
reasons. One is that Science screwed up by choosing a "photoshoped" image of
a polar bear on a thin patch of ice which reduced the credibility of the
letter. Also, letters signed by 255 scientists, few if any are known to the
public loose impact. I think a story about the content of the letter would
have been appropriate.

What could we propose to ASTC? They took a stand on evolution a while ago
and this is a broader issue; Perhaps as important! Maybe an issue of
Dimensions about the problem?

ASTC???? I am willing to help. Anyone else?
