TV/Radio: Crypto Policy on NPR

McNeil & Lehear (sp?) (ok, I know, one of them is gone, but I forgot which) News Hour had a segment on crypto policy. Generally a balanced non-technical report, except that there is no mention of the free speech issue. If there is a repeat near you, it's worth listening to, to hear (or see) what the informed non-technical public hears (sees). Ern

Do you think they should have mentioned that cypherpunks are against free speech and that John Gilmore (spit) is a liar and a content-based censor? Gilmore is irrelevant and not worth mentioning. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

BTW, there's an excellent picture in the Public Domain showing Robert McNeil (sp?) looking over the fence on the grassy knoll, seconds after they blew off the president's head. I guess ol' Bob musta been one of those "extremely few, ignorant, stupid people" who thought shots may have come from somewhere besides the depository (per O.C. Register).
