BlankHowdy Vorts, " Cold Fusion makes its case in Chicago" by Steve Ritter, an article in Chemical and Engineering News, is an interesting read, both in context and construction. Context we understand. Construction is another. A careful study of Ritter's composition of text is very revealing. Not by what is written but by what is absent. The article misses being a perfect " country and western song" which fails to include Mother, trains and prison.
What is "missing" in the article? The anticipation !. The article is silently screaming out for the little kid to ask his Mother why the king has no clothes. A front page science newspaper like C&EN reporting facts in cold fusion research is like someone shouting from the back of the room. Everyone in the audience hears and turns their head to see whats going on. Steve Ritter is silent and fails to report the most important aspect of the conference. Steve Krivit has his " New Energy Times" registered across the globe in C&EN. He was given a respected honor, well deserved. Time for Jed Rothwell et.al. LENR library work to be examined by Steve Ritter of C&EN. He owes the science community a follow up. Richard
