...controlled burn of 330 acres as a fire-prevention measure. And for the next week, the fires would not stop, first consuming dry grass, then Ponderosa pines, then, engorged to 32,000-plus acres, gobbling up hundreds of homes and singeing buildings at Los Alamos, birthplace of the atom bomb. The fires never came close to a building that holds drums of transuranic mixed waste and a metric ton of plutonium. No disastrous explosions occurred, but the air will be monitored for radioactivity. Meanwhile, noxious fumes wafted from the lead paint, rubber and plastics in burning cars and buildings. Some...
...suggestion that my hydrino theory of energy is in any way connected to perpetual motion is wrong. My theory states that energy can be derived from reducing the size of a hydrogen atom. The theory has been successfully tested in independent labs, and I have presented it to the American Chemical Society. RANDELL MILLS BlackLight Power, Inc. Cranbury...

Major shifts in human thought are not negotiated without some who recognize power in the new--the democratic, the economic, the wired--and seek to exploit...
