Subj: Article Series Date: 96-11-19 13:13:47 EST From: TerryM2881 To: J SARFATTI http://www.qedcorp.com/pcr/pcr/test1.html Summing up: The Round Table Foundation of Electrobiology began to flourish. A considerable misrepresentation as to cost of equipment is shown. Project Penguin undertaken by the Navy is also claimed. A grant from General Foods and the activities of associates reveals the connection to The Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. On February 5, 1996 the Chemical and Engineering News carried a buzz-making three paragraph quote of an article appearing in the South China Morning Post. An assistant professor at the University of Science and Technology filed a hundred million dollar lawsuit against the US Government. This particular unhappy Asian, Huang Si-ming, is distressed over having had a mind control device planted in his teeth during a root canal operation. Not only does the device talk to him, he asserts, but it can read his mind as well. Shades of paranoia, schizophrenia, bipolar big elf disease! Rush that man some heavy shock hits of psychiatric betterment processing. Where do people come up with ideas like this? Surely these ramblings however couched in legalese they will be, are a candidate for an upcoming X-files episode.Perhaps something the sultry Scully-agent with the doubtful mind, picked up on an alien vessel when those half remembered gray entities (or-are-they-really-government-agents?) started messing with her. Andrija Puharich, unusual inventor who was also a doctor, parapsychologist, and veteran let's-see-what-this- drug-will-do guy died back in January of 1995 after taking a header down the stairs. He could have told you a lot about implants capable of putting voices in your head.. He did much of the early work on them. In my often tedious but never boring research I have encountered dark whisperings as to whether he was pushed down those rickety stairs or fell accidently. Some dear-friend-mutterings as to whether or not he had a heart attack and fell or fell and had a heart attack. Grave doubts expressed, in the muttering circles about Susan Mandell, supposedly Puharich's creature-comfort-girl who had looked after him during his last years. Kind of fitting he went out that way with lingering doubts and questions giving future researchers endless incomplete chapters. Truly, the area has enough first class spookery to satisfy a thousand Unsolved Mystery episodes. Starting at the end The services for the seventy-six year old, righteously dead Andrija Puharich were attended by only a few friends and a couple of his children. All in all about a dozen people or less. A really poor showing considering the roster of children, associates and woman that one might have expected to be there. Uri Geller, that old spoon bending psychic from Israel could not be there to see him off. If he opted to use some of his amazing powers he would have seen Puharich's ash's being poured from an urn into the Mitchell river that ran through the Josh Reynolds estate where Andrija had been hiding out. You can drop by some of Geller's massive and self-congratulatory web pages if you are at all curious what he has to say about Puharich. Fair is fair. Geller owed much of his prominence, whether deserved or not to Andrija Puharich. Geller and Puharich were no longer close which might explain the amazing dirth of material about Andrija in amongst all that puffery. "Uri is not a nice man." was Andrija's statement which I guess more or less summed it up for him without saying anything useful. Barbara Bronfman, once part of the Seagrams We-are-really-really-wealthy whisky family couldn't make it either but did think to send a note. She had become somewhat enamored with Puharich way back when and was involved enough to support the fugitive Ira Einhorn after he took it on the lam. If one can believe all that is written she finally got convinced that Iran Einhorn really did kill Holly Maddux and stuff her body into a trunk which he hid in his closet for a couple of years. Chris Bird, Puharich's old pal was not there either. He too sent along kind words. I had tried to talk to Chris Bird, intending to ask about his CIA days and Puharich but by the time I dug up his telephone number he had undergone a throat operation and had his larynx removed. Now he is dead and the story I was curious about has gone with him. Wealthy, Henry Belk was there.He knows where the bodies are buried and the data is in danger of disappearing with him. Belk declared to me that he would never commit or have his life committed to paper because people simply would not believe. Belk had pretty much given up on Puharich but the former naval intelligence man has unbelievable class and showed up for the funeral. Bep, Andrija's second wife who got a divorce way back in 1965 was there with two of the children, Andy Puharich who actually poured his fathers ashes into the river and Yvonne. Children is used in the loosest sense as both of these are way grown adults. I don't know Yvonne but Bep and I have had some curt correspondence. "I feel that I must warn you to be careful what you write. The children and I will not tolerate any slander about Andrija." Brrr! Elizabeth Rauscher the erstwhile nuclear physicist was there and Bill van Bise. Of course those two aging scientists would attend, after all they had been living gratis on the same estate thanks to the largesse of Josh Reynolds when he was alive. In spite of everything Norwood Robinson an attorney could do to get them off the property they absolutely refused to leave. "Ain't going to do it!" they more or less declared but seemed to have left it open for negations, having filed a claim against the estate for $40,000. You gotta admire the sense of play of a woman of Rauscher's high education who tacks up a picture of Perry Mason and declares that he is her attorney in these matters. Very cool. Her companion William van Bise, was reported to be working on an electronic device for the enhancement of extrasensory perception. More X-files!! Good old Josh Reynolds had supported Puharich for about seventeen years. He was the grandson of the founder of Reynolds tobacco. Ricky Morell, staff writer of the Charlotte Observer called Josh "a quirky, private man". Well Josh is quirky no more having begun his dirt nap about six months before Puharich tumbled down the stairs. One of Puharich's finely honed and most excellently tuned abilities was garnering monetary support from the rich. He excelled at it, Josh Reynold being merely the last in the chain that wends its way back to the late 1940's. "He was a brilliant man, who, in order to get money for his research needed the rich, who used him for entertainment." Bep avowed to me in the same letter in which she growled that I had better mind my P's and Q's. Puharich, brilliant man, was one of those kind of in the military and kind of not in the military back in the late 1940's. During the planetary blood letting known as the second world war the army had picked up a number of promising individuals to participate in what was then called the Army Specialized Training Program. This group would provide the doctors and dentists to replace those that got shot up or to augment those already in place. Huge casualties were expected and advanced planing was the order of the day. Andrija, received his medical education compliments of the United States Government who picked up the tab. He was officially given the rank of private during his tutelage. By the time he had gotten smart doctor-wise the war was over. By the time he had completed his residency at Permanente on the west coast the Army Specialized Training Program was dropped. His medical education took place at the ever-lovely and most diligent school of big data, Northwestern University. Andrija busied himself there easing animals into sleep with low frequency square waves and then operating on them. Throughout his life Andrija performed many outrages on four legged inhabitants of earth, slicing and dicing them as he saw the need to do so al l in the name of science. Dogs were a favorite. One of life's little mysteries is why he belonged to the Kennel Club, but he did. It was while he was at Northwestern that Andrija put his mental-pedal to the mental-metal and came up with his Theory of Nerve Conduction. The theory proposed that the neuron units radiate and receive waves of energy which he calculated to be in the ultrashortwave bands below infrared and above the radar spectrum. Therefore the basic nerve units - neurons - are a certain type of radio receiver-transmitter. Hot spit! The theory got passed around and glimpsed by various high personages of 1940's scientific importance. Among them was Paul Weiss, a neurophysiologist at the University of Chicago. Jose Delgado, the guy who tortured animals by putting electronic implants into their brains to influence their behaviour liked Paul Weiss and you can find his grateful acknowledgment to the man in his 've know vat's goot for you' book "Toward a Psychocivilized Society." While his nerve conduction manuscript was thusly circulating Puharich headed out for California to do his internship as a medical researcher. He spent a year or so at the Permanente Research Foundation. During that time he carried out research into the effects of digatoid drugs was funded by Sandoz Chemical Works. Sandoz, isn't that the same name as the famous LSD-In-Your-face pharmaceutical company? Andrija's wife Virginia who had been an editor at the office of War Information during the war came with him and worked at the same facility. She got busy involving herself in pain study research while Andrija practiced another skill which he honed to a high degree over the years. Seduction. He took up with another doctor-soul by the name of Jane. A lot of hot sex between the two is now lost in the mists of history. By May of 1947 the Nerve Conduction theory was presented to the Zoology Graduate Seminar of the University of California at Berkeley. This resulted in a meeting with Dr. Paul de Kruif, who was interested in the far-out implications of the theory. Paul de Kruif was a bacteriologist who made his fortune writing books which successful illustrated the lives and personalities and methods of various individuals who had made great medical discoveries. Paul de Kruif arranged for Puharich to meet withone of the most famous scientific personages of the day, Charles F. Kettering. In his day Kettering held over 200 patents and had invented everything from self starters for automobiles, high octane gasoline. Cash register components to bits and pieces of guided missiles, Kettering had little pieces of it all. More than that the man, sitting at General Motors, had his hands on the purse strings. In later years when reminiscing about this blip in his life Puharich referred to him as "Boss Kettering." A lot of people did. Shortly after his meeting with Kettering, followed by an appearance and talk before the Society of Junior Fellows arranged by the highly illuminated Dr. Herbert Sheinberg, Puharich fell in with a bunch of subversive, fellow traveling, red sympathizing ne'er-do-wells wherein the oddities in our story grow ...... Andrija claimed that he had met the new left bunch via his father who had insisted he call the world famous violinist Zlatko Balakovic on the telephone while Andrija was in New York tending to his upcoming future. This was before he had actually spoke before those Junior Fellow guys over at Harvard. As it turns out this fact is somewhat important therefore I labor over it on the readers behalf. "Call the man. He'd be interested in a nice Yugoslavian boys coming and goings." Franjo Puharich had insisted. "OK. Dad." I have put all this in quotes although it is likely the words, if truly spoken, were different. Puharich dialed the man up not in NY as he had been told but in Camden, Maine. "Come on down!!" Zlatko spoke into the receiver. "Stay a couple of days" To an ambitious young man wanting to climb to the top of Mount Success these words would have been like receiving a summons from Sir Edmond Hillary, the intrepid conqueror of Mount Everest. Zlatko you see had a lot of things going for him. He had married extremely well. His pretty and accomplished wife Joyce hailed from the mighty Borden family which many of you are familiar with from having dairy products in your refrigerator as well as glued things in your basement workshops. Balakovic, originally hailed from Yugoslavia but got out of there riding on his abilities as a first class violinist. In that capacity he toured the world often getting from place to place on his yacht, he had adventures, almost getting snapped up by a crodile on one occassion and received many awards. When the second world war fell upon the planet he did his bit by performing and raisintremendous skill he had become friends with many of the heads of state around the world. He especially was a friend of and liked Marshall Tito. It was ok to like Tito during the conflict because the man kicked Nazi butt and did it good. During the cold war however some hefty faces in D.C. would raised some heavy eyebrows over such sentiments. The very year that Andrija met the Balakovic's the couple had completed a four month tour of Europe where Tito held a glitzy dinner in their honor. They had also dropped by Bulgaria where Zlatko was given "The Order of the 9th of September." Medal by President Kolaroff of Bulgaria which at the time was the highest honor that country laid on hero's. As head of a number of Yugoslavia fraternal and relief organizations located in the United States Zlatko gathered up various goods and equipment to ship overseas as a charitable action. All their good work got fired upon when it was discovered that cast in with the material to be shipped were of all things, surplus radar equipment. Now how did that get in there? The state department frowned, did some teeth gnashing and made grave announcements. Actually the Federal Bureau of Investigation had known about the improperly enclosed radar before it left port.This fact raises some amazing questions which we will mull over later. The American Slav Congress and the American Committee for Yugoslavian Relief (Zlatko's organizations) got labeled as subversive in 1948 by the Attorney General, Tom Clark. The newspapers who picked up on this set up a mighty yowling.. "Tried to subvert 10 million people!!" "Zlatko Balokovic." an article sneers on "was bitten by the communist bug in 1943 after several unsuccessful concerts in this country he decided to become a professional revolutionist." Andrija says he got snowed in with Balkovic's and instead of spending ving introduced him to the subject of ESP. Forked tongue stuff insofar as I have a document which clearly states his intent to investigate the area prior to meeting the Balakovic's. This document also reveals that he was already familiar with J.B.Rhine's explorations in the area. The violinist, Puharich said, made an offer to support his work to the tune of $200 per month and a place to work which he accepted. After returning to California Instead of fulfilling his military obligation, which he was expected to do in return for the bucks, time and training heaped on him by the government Puharich managed to get a discharge. Summing up: Training financed by U.S. Army under the Army Specialized Training Program. Puts dogs into anasethetic sleep utilizing low frequency square waves while at Northwestern. Writes a paper proposing a new theory of nerve conduction. Is sent to Permanente Research Foundation in California for internship in medical research. Travels to Maine and meets the soon-to-be declared-subversive Balakovic who offers financing which he accepts. Discharged from army without actually serving and sets up a research facility in Maine.

I can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Paet Two [Continued from part 1] Looking back over these events, nearly a half century after they occurred, one wonders that if the police were anxious to arrest Rosen because of his political activities (his evaluation) then why did they not pursue the matter? It certainly was not legal to bribe dieners for bodies or body parts that once belonged to some unfortunate human who had expired in a hospital. The odd refusal to follow through might suggest that someone at a higher level, out of sight, was pulling strings. Of the two characters we have yet to introduce into this strange gathering at the Round Table Foundation of Electrobiology, the most beneficial is probably Dr. Samuel Rosen, otologist (ear specialist). There are many people today who owe the fact that they can hear to this doctor -- the creator of the Stapes Mobilization procedure. He was, according to Puharich, associated with the Round Table Foundation from the get-go. In 1949, he was fifty-one years old and coming up to a particularly difficult time of his life. He had not yet developed his Stapes Mobilization, but did have a successful private practice, a nice house and fine family. The future being bright, shades were the order of the day. There was one significant difficulty, especially in those heady days of loyalty oaths -- J. Edgar Hoover and The House Un-American Activities Committee. That difficulty was in the main, the idea his fellow doctors and his patients had gotten of him. Mainly, that he was a communist, a pinko, a left-wing sympathizer, a Soviet dupe. Not only did they find his politics questionable, they found his friends that way as well. The spunky doctor was friends with Henry Wallace, once Secretary of Agriculture under Roosevelt, as well as his Vice President, and later Secretary of Commerce, under Truman. Like Zlatko Balakovic, Rosen belonged to, and had come up on, the wrong side following WW II and the beginning of the cold war. He and his wife, Helen, belonged to a group that called itself the Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions. It, like Zlatko Balakovic's organizations, was cited as a subversive group. Rosen said he had been brought into that particular crowd by Frederick March, the actor, and it had been originally formed to get Roosevelt reelected to a fourth term of office. As can be detected by the subversive declaration, the FBI and other shadow jumpers thought otherwise. Rosen was close friends with Dashiell Hammett, a wonderful writer with a serious drinking problem, strong beliefs and a definite socialist bent. Hammett's FBI file contained, according to the meticulous researcher, Herbert Mitgang, 356 pages revealing that he was tracked not only by the FBI, but the Army as well. As students of this particular piece of history know, the writer would spend six months in jail in 1953 rather then cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee who were trying to find out who was posting bail for all the goddamned communist, pinko perverts. Following his release he came to live on Rosen's property, in a little cottage made available to him by the concerned doctor. Proceeding by some years, the scandal of his friendship with Hammett and Wallace, was Rosen's friendship with Paul Robeson. The talented, and politically active, black opera star often dropped into the declared subversive Citizens Committee's headquarters as he happened to be performing Othello just around the corner. He met Rosen's wife who invited him to her and Samuel's house for dinner. They became good friends, which leads us into August 27, 1949 civil rights concert at Peckskill which put the nail in Rosen's coffin, although he was not even there. The concert had been gotten up by the Harlem chapter of the Civil Rights Congress, of which Robeson was vice-president. The purpose was to generate revenues which would be used to defend American Communists and others who had been indicted for conspiracy to advocate the overthrow of the American government. A few hundred people, the majority of them black, had gathered at the picnic ground to listen to Paul Robeson sing. Before Robeson actually arrived, a crowd-intimidating phalanx of war veterans showed up. The bunch who were there as the Veterans Joint Council was composed of three groups of "right thinking Americans," the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Catholic Veterans Association and the American Legion. This composite of vets was determined to preserve the liberty of United States citizens by, I guess, removing liberty completely, presumably to a place of safety known only to them. They menaced the concert goers by positioning themselves so that those already at the gathering could not exit and those wanting to get in could not get by. Well one thing led to another and a fist fight started which turned into a melee which in turn spread throughout the public grounds. Someone turned off the flood lights and several KKK burning crosses sprouted up. One truck and several cars were overturned and injuries abounded as the two sides took to flailing at one another. Peace was finally restored when about forty law enforcement personnel showed up along with all the local Peckskill cops that could be mustered. Thereafter, someone from the concert committee phoned up Rosen and asked to use his substantial lawn to make a protest rally. Within an hour of his giving his consent the news was on the radio. Some three thousand people showed up. Thus it was that Rosen notoriety as a communist grew big time. And with it the majority of his patients, reacting to the publicity, abandoned him and what had been a successful medical practice fell into ruin. At the time Puharich first became associated with Rosen, the disastrous concert was still a hop and a skip in the future. It is not known by this writer how the two came to collaborate. This missing data is in itself a peculiarity. Dr. Rosen wrote an autobiography which omits any mention whatsoever of Andrija Puharich or the Round Table Foundation of Electrobiology. Puharich stated throughout the years that he was Dr. Rosen's surgical assistant on the Stapes Mobilization surgical procedure. He put the years at between 1949 and 1952. It is difficult to see how this is what they could have been working on in 1949. Rosen wrote he had not yet developed the surgical procedure, nor did he even consider the possibility of doing so until 1952. One is left to wonder just why Puharich put forth such disinformation? On top of that there is the curious, before mentioned, omission on Dr. Rosen's part of Andrija Puharich or the Round Table Foundation. If not the Stapes operation what were the two working on? The actual research was directed at clarifying the piezoelectric properties of a structure located on the inner surface of the membrane located near the base of the spiral tube of the inner ear, called the cochlea. Some years prior, Rosen had developed a theory that the tongue could be used as an organ of hearing. He based this on the fact of a nerve which lay in the passageway behind the ear drum and the bony wall of the inner ear. The space there is so small that it could be filled with four or five drops of water. Rosen had discovered in that passageway two nerves that had nothing to do with hearing at all. One of them was a facial nerve. Should it be cut during surgery, as he had once accidently done, the patient would experience paralysis of one side of his face. The other nerve, called the Chorda tympani nerve was utilized by the tongue in the sense of taste. The entire subject had come up during a lunch when Rosen was concerned about a problem covering a hole made by a particular operation on the ear. Tossing it about, both Puharich and he thought that they might swing the Chorda tympani nerve over from the tongue to cover the cavity. Once done, Rosen believed it would be possible for the tongue to pick up sound waves and transfer the sounds to the inner ear, bypassing the ear drum.. It was necessary to adjudicate if the nerve in question was long enough to be successfully moved and if so could it be moved without interfering with other parts of the anatomy? Both Rosen and Puharich went over to Bellevue and acquired at least one corpse to perform a practice operation. Having successfully completed that, they decided they should practice on something that was alive. They therefore acquired some monkeys. Once the monkeys were under anaesthesia the surgeons deliberately destroyed the horribly, unlucky creature's ear drums. From there they moved the nerve fiber from the tongue and connected it with the inner ear. Experimentation when the monkeys had recovered showed that the now should-be-deaf animals could hear. How well they could hear was an unknown, but they could hear. This work, which briefly surfaced in 1950, had been carried out in 1948 and 1949. The reader may recall that would be the same time period Andrija was at Bellevue with implant-happy McCulloch. Moving away from the subject of surgery and the nervous system of the human body, I now invite the reader, who enjoys participatory reading, to take a US dollar bill from his pocket. Observe the back of the bill and you will see the pyramid and all seeing-eye design thereon. This goes back to Henry Wallace who had, way back when he was Secretary of Agriculture, suggested the peculiar design as part and parcel of an idea he had for a new dollar coin. Roosevelt nixed the coin idea but kept the design. This has, over the years, led to endless Illuminati conspiratorial ideas. There is no doubt that Henry Wallace had a bit of a mystic bent about him. He was an inquisitive, productive man by all accounts. Rosen describes him as a cold being, who had a fear of the rising "yellow man," which may be what led him into a series of attempts to introduce Christianity into China with Nicholas Roerich, a Russian explorer and mystic. As is known, he who wins the war, writes the history. Wallace did not win the political war of the time. Truman fired him, the FBI surveilled him, the Attorney General used association on him to prove that one was "disloyal," and so on. According to William C. Sullivan, once second in command at the FBI, Hoover hated Wallace. Of course Hoover hated Truman, new dealers, left wing radicals, and just about anything that smacked of a position one iota left of center right. Truman's clumsy handling of Hoover's grab for power during the heyday of the House on Un-American Activities Committee's rape of civil liberties led to loyalty oaths and a bunch of other scary nonsense. Writers still like to rake up, when they are of a mind, to show just how close the US came to fascism. What we are talking about here is trickle down politics. And the trickle wended its way right on down to Wallace, down to Maine, down to Camden, Rosen and Balakovic. Hmmm, funny ... it seems to have missed Puharich. Truman was teed off at Henry for a number of things. One was his letters to Nicholas Roerich (whom those in the White House thought of as a disreputable Russian Mystic). It wasn't so much what the letters between the two (that had somehow gotten leaked to the press) said. It was the way Wallace addressed Roerich in his missives: "Dear Guru." This subservient salutation to a Russian guy by someone high in our government could not be tolerated. This therefore helped blow the democrats away in the 1946 elections. They lost seats. They lost prestige. They had long memories. Another flap occurred when Wallace gave a speech at Madison Square Garden. The speech suggested, nay said, that there was a mighty softening of attitude toward the Soviet Union which was a direct reversal of the facts of the case. Unfortunately Truman had OK'd the speech without reading it carefully and therefore was caught with his political pants down. Upshot without going into more detail. Wallace was fired. To hell with them, reasoned Wallace, I'll run on another ticket, the Progressive Party. That must have caused Hoover to become frightfully unmellow as the Progressive Party was considered to be run by hard-line Communists. Let me say here and now, as the author of this series, that I have no special knowledge as to who was a communist, a socialist, a pinko, a wrong thinker and who was not. The knowledge that I have is who was perceived to be a communist and that knowledge, whether the perception was correct or not, is all that I have. It was this perception which ended the careers of many men in those reckless days. With their careers went their achievements, some to be resurrected in later, gentler days. Unfortunately, in many cases the good got interred with their bones, thank you very much Shakespeare. Historical hindsight leaves little doubt that in those times little regard was given as to whether or not individuals declared subversive had actually done anything subversive. Having regaled you with my opinions, let us turn back to the subject, Dr. Andrija Puharich, and show what this has to do with him and his associates. Fortunately a paper trail does exist to some extent. On April 1, 1949 of that year, Puharich wrote a letter to the Trustees of a legal entity called the Wallace Fund. The money in the fund was made up of royalties Henry Wallace had received on one of his books. In the letter to that fund Puharich stated that the grant he requested was to be used exclusively for the procurement of electronic equipment for basic neurophysiological research. He would use the money to obtain "infra-red detectors for the detection of long wave infra-red radiation from nerves and nervous systems." Progress reports would be furnished to Henry A. Wallace as well as the trustees of the Wallace fund. In this request, Puharich also noted that the current trustees of the Round Table Foundation were himself, William A. Brown of Boston Mass and Carl D. Lane of Rockport Maine. In between the letter of April 1 requesting the funds, Andrija also got a letter off to Henry Wallace in which he extolled the once vice-president's virtues as a "universal man" and thanked him for "the privilege of sharing your presence." By April 27, a check in the amount of $4,458.73 was in the mail and on the way to the Round Table Foundation of Electrobiology. Summing Up: Puharich is working with a ear specialist named Dr. Samuel Rosen who is thought to be a communist. They are researching the possibility that a nerve from the tongue can be used to facilitate hearing. This during the same year and at the same hospital (Bellevue) that Puharich and the psychiatrist McCulloch were working together. Puharich meets once Vice President of the United States, Henry Wallace, who is a friend of Rosen's. He applies to The Wallace Foundation for a grant and receives it. This is the last section in our four part series on Andrija Puharich. In it we are covering the formation and first funding of the Round Table Foundation of Electrobiology as well as have discussing the rudiments of the odd tooth implant whose development started in 1948. In this final section we will reveal the presence of an unknown agency that was connected with the Round Table Foundation from the start. The inclusion of this agency may leave unanswered questions about how it was that a man, known to be financed by individuals connected to subversive organizations, came to be granted security clearances by the United States Army. By the time the laboratory in Maine was operational, enough material and labor had been donated gratis to keep the total cost of setup to $437.00, which even considering late 40's economics is minuscule. The exact source of these donations is not, as of this writing, documented. Puharich's finances were certainly flourishing. There was the $4,458.73 from Henry Wallace (interestingly Puharich when reporting to the press of the day the happy news of that grant dropped out Henry Wallace as his benefactor). <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
