Be thankful,

We found a press story, placing us at The Univ of Minnesota, rather than
Univ of MT that stated that since we wouldn't talk to them, they took the
liberty of an in depth interview with Herb Spencer.  Herb it seems, was a
member of our research team (news to us), and wasn't bashful about talking
about what worked and didn't work (although to my knowledge, none of us has
ever met Herb).

We also had two German reporters threatening to sue each other.  One did an
exaggerated story about what we did with bees and landmines, the other
wrote a story that indicated it was all a fraud or at least didn't
work.  Then each contacted me to be a witness against the other -- although
neither had talked to me or any of my associates before writing their
respective stories.

Bottom line, National Enquirer, some years back, actually got most of the
story right, while some of the 'respected' magazines came out with
something akin to science fiction -- that from their technical (science)
writers.

Go figure.

Jerry
