Pacific during the '50s, a claim substantiated by recently declassified
documents.A former slave laborer recalls esteemed rocket scientist Wernher
von Braun overseeing huge forced-labor camps in Germany during World War
II (true). And all the basic data taped during the Apollo 11 mission has
been misplaced. http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0006/gehr.shtml
: Is your space program infested with Nazis, KKKers, slavedrivers, losers?

morals irrelevant to galactic domination? Are the ETs morally equivalent?

# Infected Cells Seen As Real Carriers Of HIV Virus. A recent study of why

@ KEEPING UP WITH CATHOLIC-BASHING JONESES. WHEN Al Smith ran for prez in
1928, not everybody was ready for a Catholic commander-in-chief. "I would
rather see a saloon on every corner than a Catholic in the White House,"

70+ years later, Bob Jones U, founded by the fire-breathing fundy jeezoid
Prod, is a standard stop for Republican prexy wannabees seeking religious-
right votes in S.Carolina. http://nypost.com/02082000/commentary/943.htm
