More evidence SA is not much of an objective digest of science and technology any more. Their first foray into becoming a populist rag was globull warming support.
Now they become even more of a political commentary.
Pitiful.
A shame, really.
No, their first foray into becoming a populist rag was when they ran a two-page ad/article praising Les Aspin when he was a pro-nuclear-disarmament member of congress, back in the mid-1970s.
They then proceeded to publish a series of papers by a number of anti-Pershing missile, anti-SBI professors (many of whom - e.g. Kosta Tsipis - were on the MIT faculty).
These items, starting with the Aspin piece, had nothing to do with "science" per se. They were strictly bandstands for moral posturing on the part of "one world" elite opinion leaders.
