I would love to see a 60 Minutes story come out on this subject. I was wondering when they were going to get around to it. Guess it's all about timing, isn't it. ;-) The burning question is: How will 60 Minutes handle the subject, especially the conclusion. You KNOW there will be significant condensation of the subject material. Will the scientists and researchers who have been toiling away for twenty years get the final say, or will 60 Minutes leave it to Park to sum it all up for the masses. My gut feeling suggests that 60 Minutes will produce a generally positive article. I suspect they will cite years of controversy, the unsuccessful attempts by CF researchers to get their work recognized, published and funded. I suspect they will cite how the system has generally worked against most CF researchers, particularly during this dire time in our country's history when all forms of alternative energy should be seriously explored. That's what 60 minutes does best: Produce controversial articles, where blatant injustices become obvious even to individuals with no better than sixth grade educations. It doesn't make sense from my POV that 60 Minutes would care to produce an article on CF - unless the producers felt there actually was something legitimate going on here, and more to the point, that what is going on is being purposely ignored. My two cents. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
