ATTENTION GOODLIFE!
I hurriedly fire off the items below. Gentsch and Behrisch argue about self
targeting or not. I count these as papers.
Nature gives us the amount of money MITI actually has asked for for cold
fusion, i.e. 300 million yen or a bit above 2 million $, for 1993. This is
1/1000 of its total request for 1993. The British Association had a meeting,
and Fleischmann gave a talk. It was to have been a panel discussion but, as
Frank Close has told us, this did not come about. Ian Mundell notes that
although there were distinguished chemists in the audience, none asked any
questions. We know that there was also a distinguished physicist and he didn't
either.

Behrisch R;             Ber. Bunsenges. Phys. Chem. 96 (1992) 733 (in German).
"Comment on: H. Gentsch, DD-fusion reactions at a PdAg(D) target in a
minireactor, Ber. Bunsenges, Phys. Chem. 95, 1283 (1991)".
** A polemic. Gentsch had a hollow tube as the cathode in a cold fusion
electrolysis, with a near vacuum inside, into which he aimed a deuteron beam
and got more neutrons and tritium than expected. Behrisch writes here that
Gentsch is wrong, that the results are explained by self targeting without
invoking anomalous effects. See Gentsch's answer, ibid p.734.    Dec-91/May-92

Gentsch H;              Ber. Bunsenges. Phys. Chem. 96 (1992) 734 (in German).
"Reply to: R. Behrisch, Ber. Bunsenges. Phys. Chem. 96, 733 (1992)".
** Answer to Behrisch's polemic criticising Gentsch's 1991 paper. True,
Gentsch did not read all the relevant literature, but his figures are maybe
10% accurate, not totally out as Behrisch writes.                Jan-92/May-92

Mundell I;                                        Nature 359 (1992) 5 (3-Sep).
"BAAS embraces role of educating public".
** Report of the recent annual meeting of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science. Scientific outliers appear to have been on the agenda,
such as a hominid aquatic past, and a presentation by M. Fleischmann on cold
fusion, followed by a noisy press conference. No questions were asked after
F's lecture, despite the presence of distinguished chemists.

Swinbanks D;                                      Nature 359 (1992) 4 (3-Sep).
"Big increase for MITI budget emphasizes energy technology".
** DS reports the MITI application for funds for 1993. Among other things,
300 million yen was requested for hydrogen energy (cold fusion), for 1993.
This is the smallest of the listed requests, totalling just over 300,000
million.
