 Science
Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?

there would seem to be some connection between rauch
and "Cook" - whoever he is. I had the distinct feeling that
Cook wasn't who he said he was - - and when a NYT writer
did show up at the University of Wisconsin - there were
some awkwardnesses - and some strange correspondence, very
voluminous - and technically none too completent
correspondence from Patrick Gunkel - who some may
remember - a poster I never believed existed. -

If the NYT as an organization participated in contacts
between me, the CIA, and Cook - it could acknowledge that fact
without divulging any specific sources - and without
acknowledging any more government contact than it more-or-less
routinely acknowledges in the newspaper.

If the CIA could find no records of me - which wouldn't
surprise me - there might be a great deal of extenuation all
around. I had information that I felt I had to deliver
face to face, after establishing some rapport. That didn't
seem so difficult or unreasonable back then - or now. But it
has been difficult.

reads in part:
In complicated systems - there is no sensible alternative -
as experience and problems accumulate - to some exception
handling and some resorting and reframing.
"Both Eisenhowers and Bill Casey felt that very strongly.
" I was assigned to work on exception handling patterns
that neither the formal intelligence apparatus, nor the
private sector as it was, nor the academic community could
handle - in ways that I thought then, and still think, made
sense in the overall national interest - and in the interest
of our capitalistic system, our political system - and the
academy.
"In an effort not to leak - but also to live my life
- and make contributions I had a right to make - consistent
with the national interest as well as my own - I have tried to
"come in through the New York Times" - as Casey had
instructed. It has worked well in some ways - awkwardly for
others.
- - - -
There's a lot of support to my story - though I have no
pictures of me standing beside Casey or Eisenhower - ( for the
same reasons that I don't expect Mimi Beardsley to have
pictures with Kennedy - though she may have them ). Whether
you happen to "call me Ishmael" or happen to believe my story
- I think things are worth checking - and think I've long
deserved a face-to-face hearing.
