Ron, I ve no interest getting into a tit-for-tac here. Indeed, it is a old story, 45 years old, to be preise. However, except for me, nobody here bother to bring it up, so I doubt too many people remember it, if they know it at all. FWIW, before people go dissing Tsien, check out the history first. He was a Chinese American. He was the authority on the Titan program. He opted to live in the US because he is a scientist. He was deported. It is pity that people don't seem to learn the lesson after 5 decades. Of course, unfortunately, many people haven't been born yet but thought they knew the world by a petty degree or two. best, Bosco best, Bosco

Ron- From Today's Washington Post: NATO, British and US officials denied a British newspaper report that NATO deliberately bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade during the Kosovo war after discovering the embassy was transmitting Yugoslav army communications. "The tragic mistake was caused by human error," NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said of the May 7 bombing, which left three people dead. The Observer, a liberal weekly, quoted unidentified military and intelligence sources in the United States and Europe as saying NATO knew in April that the Chinese Embassy the in Yugoslav capital was being used as a "rebroadcast" facility. I'm impressed that anyone thinks he can draw a conclusion about what policy ought to be based on even a valued scientist's return to tyranny. Not much to base a policy decision on. Most hard decisions will have a downside. Larry P.S. I thought the following was a picturesque example of Newspeak worthy of the best. Gen. Pervez Musharraf, in his first speech since overthrowing the elected government of Pakistan said, "This is not martial law. It is only another path to democracy."
