# U.S. recalls defective NBC warfare suits. WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon
has alerted U.S. facilities around the world that hundreds of thousands
of protective suits meant to shield GIs from gas and germ attack may have
holes and other critical defects. The Pentagon learned about the flaws
five years ago but did not consider the problems crucial and needed the
gear for U.S. peacekeeping troops in Bosnia. The suits, not all of which
are defective, cost the government almost $49 million. Don't leave home

# DISPUTED VINLAND MAP - Study Sez Disputed Map is False Link to Vikings.
(NYTimes) A study has concluded that the Vinland Map, purporting to show
that Norse explorers charted N.America long before the voyages of Colum-
bus, is almost certainly a fake. But if anybody thought this would lay to
rest debate over the map's origins,they did't reckon with the staunchness
of those who still believe the map was drawn in the early 15th century.

# Secret Military Entity. There is a sophisticated secret military entity
that is hidden even from our own U.S. government/political arena, probably
at no surprise to you. The projects that have been developed dwarf NASA's
technology. This entity went underground during the development of ridged
Zeppelin type airships in the 30's. They now have developed multi-mile
high & wide airships, a better description would be spaceships (This may
sound crazy, but please continue reading). http://caus.org/mc022800.htm
: Has your omnipotent/omnipresent/omniscient military entity conquered the
known universe yet? Why not? D'ya need more/better/alien consultants? Who?

# Stanford study contradicts cosmologists. STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - A group
of physicists said their Stanford U. experiment to detect so-called "dark
matter" particles that hold the universe together could contradict earlier
findings by an Italian team. Not enough WIMPS - macho Italians bristle -
