# Area 51/Groom Lake Color 1-METER Resolution Photos Coming. WASHINGTON --
  Call it Area 51, Part 2. SPACE.com will showcase the latest and greatest
  images of the super-secret area from the high-tech IKONOS satellite. These
  color, 1-meter resolution images show in detail anything on the base that
  is at least 3 feet wide. The exclusive photos may not show evidence of
  aliens, but they do show a runway that is about 2 1/3 miles, or about 42
  football fields long. This is longer than the runways for the world's
  largest commercial aircraft. The images also show a burgeoning growth in
  the area, including a doubling in size of workers' residences over the
  past 30 years. A geometrically-shaped munitions storage area is also
  identified. http://www.space.com/news/area51_teaser_000421.html

# Pollution 'makes you stupid' - Brain at risk from the environment. (BBC)
  Pollution & other eco-threats are harming the intelligence of millions of
  people worldwide. Causes are poisons such as lead, PCBs (polychlorinated
  biphenyls,synthetic compounds used in electrical equipment),and radiation.
  A further problem is the loss of micronutrients. "The human brain is now
  at risk from its own behaviour... nothing else in the ecosystem is harming
  itself in the same way." Yow. http://www.newshub.com/cgibin/rd.cgi?9721610

  ience to themes of physical & mental enhancement, personalized housing en-
  vironments, & extended lifespans. www.hotweird.com/heliophobe/rperkins.htm

# MINDCONTROL SURVIVOR. Over the years there has been an attempt by the

  in us by our therapists, or just plain being delusional and looking
  for notoriety. http://members.aol.com/smartnews/Sample-Issue-32.htm
