Today at lunchtime in the Eastern Time Zone, the radio show Real Computing with John C. Dvorak had John Gilmore as a guest, and Dvorak asked several questions about the US federal case against Phil Zimmerman. Surprising how little Dvorak knew about the issues, especially considering he's a pretty bright guy and up-to-speed with the technology. He asked JG [paraphrasing] - now that the government case against PRZ is dropped, what else is the Electronic Frontier Foundation (of which Gilmore is a board member) taking up as its next 'cause'? The implication was that the 'crypto thing' is settled and we can move on to other issues. This may have been a rebroadcast of an earlier show, I don't know. Gilmore was referred to by Dvorak as the head of the cypherpunks a few times.
