Did anybody see the headline in this evening's NY Daily News? "NUKE SATELLITE RUNS WILD" (in three-inch type) Putting nuclear reactors in low earth orbit is an irresponsible act we've come to expect from the USSR; unfortunately, this kind of headline is an irresponsible act I've come to expect from the NY Daily News. (I don't subscribe to that rag; I noticed it at the supermarket.) Phil Karn

Please give credit where credit is due. The headline "NUKE SATELLITE RUNS WILD" (which was shown on ABC-TV's Nightline program) came from the infamous New York Post, the home of class journalism!!!

Although the referenced article compares the US to the USSR in wanton planet pollution, I would like to point out a few differences: ONLY the Soviet clique deliberately drops "yellow rain" [euphemism for chemical/germ warfare agents, coined by its victims] onto adversaries defending their lands against the Soviets; ONLY the aging, stagnant Soviet nation has ever had a nuclear accident [carlessness? stupidity? standard Soviet excellence?] that wiped out thousands of square miles of its own land and people. May I live to see the day when, at least one time, the socialist sympathizers fail to bring up something that statist Americans have done, in excusing the putrid Soviet system. Russians gas/germ tens of thousands and the liberals perform contortions to exucse it; Soviet complicity in assassination attempts against the Pope is well known--the leftish types are merely embarassed. Let's hear now how the Moon is polluted by the ALSEP and how that justifies the Soviets dropping radioactive containers at random around the earth. Jump in any time, apologists!
