This is somewhat out-of-date by now, but this is my last hope. Can you, or do you know ANYONE who can get a copy of the report on the Challenger accident. I have tried every possible channel here in Finland. The Academic Bookstore, which has best connections around the world, gave me an answer: Sold out from publisher! As it seems, that there isn't a single copy of it in the whole country, I am now asking a little international cooperation from you, my fellow networkers. If you live near a government bookstore (sorry, I don't remember the correct name for these bookstores), you might find the copies I need. Or if you happen to have them your self, I would apreciate if you sell them to me. Following is the full name of that report and publishers address: Report of The Presidential Commission on The Space Shuttle Challenger Accident Volumes 1-5 published by: United States Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents Washington DC 20402 USA The price should be $10 per volume. I will of course pay all your expences (+some, for the trouble), postage and all that. You may send them as postal C.O.D (That is supposed to be short from "collect-on-delivery") or any other way you find convenient. If you decide to offer your help (please do), contact me first via EMAIL or "snail mail" to the address below. As it would be quite embarassing to suddendly receive 75 copies from good-hearted people all over the States... My address is: Jukka Lindgren Vespertie 1 B 29 SF-00320 Helsinki FINLAND Many Thanks in Advance!

You might also like to check out Richard Feynman's last book, recently published (last fall) called "What Do YOU Care What Someone Else Thinks?" (or something like that). About the last half of the book is Richard's story of how he became involved with the commission and the investigation, and lends an interesting light to the affair.
