Science
Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?

More demands.. Not too “happy” are you ?
I have to ask that whatever the NYT tells
other people about me they also tell me - so I can respond.
Ask THEM.
For everybody's protection. To keep things
straight.
ONLY For YOUR “protection” perhaps ! No one else’s, I don’t
think
That has to be in writing in a case like
this - with the background that applies here.
Ask them !

I'm not sure you read this before your last
post. I'll repeat my point - which isn't going to go away.
I know. Neither would my response go away, either.

As I said above, take it up with NYT. Why plead here ?

In self defense, I think it right to post
these letters again. If that is "bad manners" - there have
surely been plenty of bad manners in postings over past
weeks from bluestar23 and cantabb .

Dear Mr. Sulzberger: I appreciate your

I called as I said I would. Sulzberger was
unavailable, but his secretary was gracious.

Working for closure – under circumstances
where perfect trust of the New York Times wasn’t be expected
of me – but where I was trying to accommodate every
reasonable need of the TIMES - I thought hard about the
minimum agreement I needed to serve my needs (and anxieties
- which are real human concerns, and often rational.)
........Given posting since - I need some minimal statements
in writing - by someone with responsibility, and a traceable
name.
Another RE-POST from you. How many more times in the
next 24+ hours ?
You don’t sound ALL that “happy”
here. STILL demanding, still pleading…
It’s O-V-E-R……………. Deal with it & move on...

Without You [My Fair Lady], Lyrics (selected lines)
Eliza Doolittle (singing):
There'll be spring every year without you.
England still will be here without you.
There'll be fruit on the tree.
And a shore by the sea.
There'll be crumpets and tea without you.
Art and music will thrive without you. Somehow
Keats will survive without you.
And there still will be rain on that plain down in Spain,
even that will remain without you....
They can still rule with land without you.
Windsor Castle will stand without you.
And without much ado we can all muddle through without
you.
Wihtout pulling it the tide comes in,
without your twirling it the Earth can spin,
Without your pulling it, the tide comes in
Without your twirling it, the earth can spin
Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by,
If they can do without you, ........
[Hum along.........]

I can do without the NYT, too. But there are enough
interconnections that Eliza's question
What belongs to me and what doesn't?
has to be dealt with. I have a minimal requirement - I've
stated it - and if I don't get it - I think a lot of people
(not only in America - the NYT Corporation has assets in
France, for example) may feel I'm justified in pursuing the
matter.

I'll be making a phone call or two before noon, EST . One
to Sulzberger's office. One to Apcar's office. If I can get
through. I don't expect to. But it would be nice. Right now,
I'm eating breakfast. I'd be glad to get a call from anyone in
the NYT organization who has a valid name they'll use with me.
