...would do almost anything to get publicity for his cause. In 1996, he slid almost 3 km down a half-frozen funicular railway cable in Switzerland; three years later, he buzzed the capital of Malaysia's Sarawak province in a motorized hang glider. According to Roger Graf, who joined Manser in the mid-1980s to try to stop logging in Sarawak, where the tribe is based, all that's really certain is that Manser was very close to giving up on Sarawak and his Penan friends.

"I just don't want people to put these phones to the sides of their heads," says Carlo, who this month published a scathing book about his findings, called Cell Phones: Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age (Carroll & Graf; $25). Carlo maintains that his data show plenty of cause for concern; he uses a hands-free headset that keeps his frequently busy mobile phone away from his brain. But J.E.
