Dear Vortex,
Jed Rothwell and Abd ul-Rahman_Lomax have expressed themselves with a great
deal of rage and outrage that I reported that Martin is suffering from
Parkinson's disease and diabetes.
Despite their mudslinging and pontification (a popular word here in Italy),
the fact is that Martin's health challenges are far from private. I learned
about Martin's health issues from the CBS 60 Minutes program earlier this
year - as did the rest of the world.
I quote: "Martin Fleischmann, the man who announced cold fusion to the
world, is hindered by years, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and maybe a
little bitterness. At home, he pulled out an improved version of his
experiment, something that he was working on when he was hounded out of
science."
I don't recall any such outrage from Jed Rothwell and Abd ul-Rahman_Lomax
at that time.
Steve
