# The dolphin is Elian Gonzalez's best friend. Dolphins protected him from
those mean old sharks, Elian says, and that's inspired at least one poet
and an artist. Says poet Jose Manuel Carballo: "I believe it's true. And
even if it isn't, you have to write it because it's poetic."

ingest. http://healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=26118
: Has Dr. Edell become an apologist for toxin producers? Are you easily per-
suaded to ingest toxins? Are McBurgers more/less dangerous than dioxin? Eh?

# NASA may send satellite into Pacific. CAPE CANAVERAL (AP) - To avoid the
dread of a 17.5-ton astronomy satellite tumbling at random out of the sky,
NASA splash it into the Pacific in March. The 9-year-old Compton Gamma Ray
Observatory is still on a scientific par with the newly fixed Hubble Space
Telescope despite the failure of one of three gyroscopes in December. But
NASA isn't sure whether the Compton Observatory can function in orbit if
another gyroscope breaks. And with 1-in-1,000 odds of such a big, out-of-
control satellite hurting or killing someone, NASA is loath to take any
chances. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563574315-fc6

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
