1. A few correspondents have asked for the source of the Rosalie Bertell article. It can  be found on http://ccnr.org/du_hague.html

2. Apologies for placing an embargo on the disclosure of the article to others. We are engaged in confidential discussions relating to some of UCL's high profile patented inventions, and I am obliged to append this signature to e-mails that relate to these. Regrettably I did so in error in the case of my second e-mail to the ACB mailbase of yesterday's date (Jan 9 2001) . Please take this message as a formal release from confidentiality.
