...Nothing should be taken at face value when it comes to government assurances," warns Dr. Mark Neuenschwander. He and his wife Betsy, also a physician, head the AD2000 Crisis Relief Task Force, a conservative Christian humanitarian effort based in Colorado Springs, Colo. Because of what he expects to be potential problems in anesthesia machines, intravenous pumps and ICU monitors--like many complex devices, they contain tiny "embedded" computer chips--he warns against elective surgery in the first six months of 2000. "Health care will be the least prepared...
Since the end of the world prompts thoughts about escape to the ends of the earth, rural real estate development is another promising end-time business. In Colorado's San Luis Valley, a onetime physicist and computer programmer named Milt Trosper is fashioning High Valley Cyber Development, a would-be millennium-insulated community on a high plateau surrounded by mountains.

That is almost certainly why the followers of Colorado cult leader Monte Kim Miller were in Israel--and why Israel, increasingly wary as the millennium approaches, ordered the expulsion of as many of them as it could find last week. Miller, who had disappeared with more than 80 of his Denver-based Concerned Christians last September, has cast himself...
...that matter, did Lucianne Goldberg or the American Spectator or the Washington Times, the Rev. Moon's contribution to the free marketplace of ideas, which printed evidence of Colorado Governor Roy Romer's extramarital relationship for reasons that have been lost to history. Nor did Tom DeLay, who now warns Senators not to vote on impeachment until they visit a locked room in the House office building for a glimpse of some juicy stuff that meets his standards of evidence even if it fell short of Kenneth Starr's. (Once dismissed by the snobs as an exterminator from Houston, DeLay...
