# DOCS NOT TRAINED TO ASSESS CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE. Pediatricians & family
physicians are poorly trained to detect or rule out childhood sexual abuse

@ Seriously now, what would you say to a naked alien? Talk about its pretty
spaceship? Ask about its mom and dad? Offer to have sex? Chatter about
your pimples? http://www.slate.com/Features/Achenbach/Achenbach.asp
: Have you sexually abused any aliens lately? Have they abused you? Have you
abused anyone who thought *you* were are an alien? *Are* you an alien? Why?

# Israeli tried to torch church. JERUSALEM (AP) An Israeli man was caught
as he tried to set fire to a Russian Orthodox church on the shores of the
Sea of Galilee. Police fret over more such incidents during the upcoming
millennium festivities. He tried to start the fire "for the glory of God."

: Is the Millennium a good excuse for arson? What/who d'ya wanna burn? Does
your belief system encourage arson, glory, fantasy? Do all belief systems?

@ Have a troubled credit history, maybe even a civil judgement or bank-
ruptcy? Sure, you'd love to get a fresh start on life, but going to
jail for forging a new identity isn't all that appealing. How about
stepping into the shoes of the terminally ill after they expire?

: If you're born again, do you need a new set of ID? If you assume someone
else's ID, do you have to put up with their relatives too? If the person you
become was ever abducted by aliens, will they come back for you? Is it safe?

# Buchanan extends welcome to gays. CHICAGO (AP) Reform Party prexy wannabe
Pat Buchanan said queers are welcome to join his campaign if they "endorse
me and support our agenda." But the former two-time GOP bad-boy's message
apparently didn't resonate with about a dozen gay and lesbian protesters.
Amid chants of, "Bigot leave now," the protesters displayed signs saying,
"Stop the hate," and 'Buchanan we detest you and your two-faced politics."

: Do you endorse any presidential candidate? Would you rather fold, staple &
mutilate such candidates? Which candidate has the best voices in their head?

WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 26 Nov 99 Washington, DC
# STAR WARS: PENTAGON WANTS TO POSTPONE DECISION. Da White House promised to
decide on deployment of a missile defense system by next summer. But the
Pentagon warns that the system has a "high risk" of failure; the deploy-
ment decision may have to be delayed. The earliest date for deployment has
already slipped from 2003 to 2005. Our NATO allies fret that the US might
withdraw from the 1972 ABM Treaty, and thus trigger a new arms race, in
order to field an unreliable system. Yow. Meanwhile, Russia is dusting off
schemes to evade a missile defense system that it was working on 15 years
ago, including such basic countermeasures as decoys & chaff; and Russia's
new Topol-M missile has a maneuverable warhead. And think: suitcase nukes.
: Are StarWars/ABM/MDS proponents dumber than jello? Are they mindcontrolled
by telepathic giant squids who want humans to clear off Earth's surface? Eh?
# SPACE MYSTERY: CHINA TO PUT HUMANS IN SPACE. China successfully tested a
spacecraft capable of carrying humans into space. Looking rather like the
Mercury capsule that orbited John Glenn 37 years ago, the 'Shenzhou' was
launched on a Long March rocket, the workhorse of China's space program.
In news stories, Shenzhou was variously translated as "mystery vessel"
(Wall Street Journal), "magic vessel" (New York Times), and "God ship"
(Reuters). To resolve this important matter WN called the Chinese Embassy.
The Cultural Officer said that "shenzhou" means "beautiful land." Told of
the other meanings, he insisted it's "land"--not "vessel"--but agreed that
mysterious may be better than beautiful. The mystery is why China, with a
profitable launch industry, wants to wade into the swamp of human space
flight. The most hours in space have been logged by Russians--and we can
see how much it's done for them. If we want to level the playing field,
maybe we could give China plans for the space station. It's only fair.
: Will a manned space program break China's economy as it broke Russia's?
Do the various mistranslations indicate the breakdowns of alien implants?
# SPACE TOURISM: DOLE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. Dole Food Company is offering a
trip to outer space as a sweepstakes prize. All you need to enter is 2 bar
code proofs-of-purchase from Dole products. The 2-hour sub-orbital flight
on a Vela Space Cruiser, also known as a "vomit comet," will come at the
end of a seven-day astronaut training program. Free Dramamine included.
: How much pineapple would you eat to go to space? If the pineapple is laced
with LSD, would the spaceflight be redundant? D'ya vomit easily? Is it fun?
# APPLIED PHYSICS: HARNESSING LAWS OF NATURE FOR POLITICS. While the GOP,
Democratic & Reform parties engage in bloody internal squabbles to select
their presidential candidates, the Natural Law Party has peacefully united
behind John Hagelin. A string theorist with a PhD in physics from Harvard,
Hagelin is author of Manual for a Perfect Government. The book describes
how a superstring field generated by many minds meditating in unison would
radiate throughout society reducing stress and spreading tranquility.
: Are you stressed about stress? Are you tranquilized? Should you be? Will
Transcendental Meditation transform American politics? Why hasn't it yet??
