I have kept Park informed about the Rossi story for, say the first 3 months see papers about Skeptics on my blog. He did not answer after a while. He is not living in an ivory tower so he must know- but perhaps cannot decide what to do with the story. It is difficult to dismiss or to accept Rossi completely- he is a highly unusual case. The netire story is strange and Bob is an over-eighty. Peter
