Be aware, if you're not already, that mail is coming through only in minor
spurts; I'm in now through one of the windows. There is a massive distrib-
uted denial-of-service attack on the Net at the moment, effectively
closing down many ISPs for a period of time. According to panix, this is
the worse attack they've seen in their history - I've been with them since
late 1994... Alan

Tonight NBC news, US considering dropping nuclear on the bunkers in Iraq,
66% of US don't want war at this point, the horror continues. This is the
worst before war. Bush on Tuesday, his State of the Union speech, beware -

Unemployment's worse and worse here as well...
