I spoke with Peter Bleed at the university this morning, and he is
forwarding all messages recieved from HISTARCH subscribers to the
     journalist through his campus media specialists.  Since I understand
     it is to be a feature story, there is no print deadline, and it could
     take a while to develop...if it ever does appear in print (no
     guarantee the Wall Street Journal will run with it).  Be assured,
     however, that I will post a message to HISTARCH if the story ever gets
     printed.  This could end up being one of those rare instances where a
     relatively minor incident (about 30 bottles, all of which have been
     recovered), ends up getting a lot of negative publicity for the
     recreational looters.

     Thanks to all of you who have sent us relevant information (we've
     already received about a dozen messages on point).  I'll be happy to
     keep everyone informed about the outcome.

     VENoble

Virgil:

I'm sure many people on the list would be interested in the final Wall
Street Journal story. Could you keep us apprised of when it is published,
and maybe a URL for it?


Thanks!
