of Dr. Robert Park in this matter!!! I'll bet you don't know about
Adair, either???...........They are two of the BIG CHIEFS in the center
of the circle of wagons......
Question: Where does one go to study the kind of science that believes:
... when the evidence does not support the theory, why OF COURSE you
throw out the evidence!!!!!

Roy, I thought your viewers might get a kick out of this slightly sarcastic
message from "What's New," an Email newsletter sent weekly to members of the
American Physical Society. Its author is Robert Park, a physics prof. at
University of Maryland.

Having had some correspondence with one of the researchers whose work was
presented at the BEMS meeting in St. Pete, I think the above quotation really
underscores the need to make congress aware that all the facts are not yet in,
and I urge your readers to make their positions known to congress about the
need to continue to fund the research. We will never have a rational basis to
set standards to protect the public from EMF without definitive research.
