Bruce:

One minor point - Randi put the styrofoam by the phonebook to detect WIND 
- the "psychic" would blow the styrofoam around, and expose himself.

The psychic didn't blow, and didn't make the page move.  He made several 
excuses, including stating "the styrofoam is generating static 
electricity which is holding the page down."  This is what you're 
thinking of.  Randi said that the psychic's statement did not make sence, 
and a physicist on the judging panel agreed.

Randi understood the method, put safegards against it, and had a panel of 
individuals judging who were well selected.  He's no fool.

Does someone have a list with details of good magic videos (preferably 
close up) similar to Scott Duncans one on magic books.

Alternatively, are there any recommendations for 'must haves'. I have
been recommended the Commercial Magic of J.C Wagner (90minutes) and a 
90 minute video of Tom Mullica (Greater Stevens Emporium). Any opinions 
and details on these two would be of particular interest. (Details such 
as quality of teaching, entertainment value, quality of presentation, 
quality of effects, quality of recording etc)

he wasn't talking about the people most Americans living in the 1990's talk

As long as you are so hot on "facts", you should be aware that Gerald Ford
was not, nor ever was, Speaker of the House. At the time that he was appointed
to the Vice Presidency, he was minority leader of the House.

Kevin claims that the Spanish town of Guernica was not bombed by the 
German air unit. I am unable to find any citation to this unusual
claim that defies every respectable written history of the inter-war
fascist period. Kevin, please provide a cite to this startling morsel
of information.

Bertil notes that Mussolini, when he denounced Liberals, was not using the
language of the 90's. A good point. The Liberal movement in the 1920's
would be similar to the mainstream conservative or moderate libertarian
movement of today, based in egalitarian principles and favoring
democracy over monarchy or autocracy, and favoring strong individual
rights as opposed to intrusive government intervention.

Power behind the throne part 2 of 3 parts.. Influence in government
    The CFR is able to influence U.S. government decision making due to the 
large number of its members who hold high level positions in government. The 
CFR's ANNUAL REPORT for the year ending June 30.1991 lists a total membership 
of 2,790, including 382 U.S. government officials. That is about 14% of the 
total!
    At least 13 of the 18 men to serve as Secretary of State since the CFR's 
founding have belonged to the organization, not counting current Acting 
Secretary of State Lawerence Eagleburger, who is also a member. Our last 
eight CIA directors have also belonged, including currnt chief Robert M. 
Gates.
    During the past four decades alone, the major pary candidatesfor 
President and Vice President who were, or eventually became, members of the 
CFR include: Dwight D. Eisenhower, Adlai Stevnson, John F. Kennedy, Richard  
Nixon, Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Walter 
Mondale, Micheal Dukakis, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Henry Cabot Lodge 
,Nelson A. Rockerfeller, Edmund Muskie, and Geraldine Ferraro.
    President Bush was a C.F.R. director in the 1970's Members of his 
Adminstration who belong include Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, National 
Security  Advisor Brent Scrowcroft, CIA Director William Webster, and 
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staf General Colin Powell.
   Any privat organization that can boast that 14 percent of its members hold 
important positions in the U.S. government shpould be well known to the 
American People. Yet the organization receives little publicity and is not 
very well known. This lack of media attention is not because of the major 
media are unaware of the CFR and its significance. you see according to the 
CFR's own annual report, 303 journalists corespondents, and communications 
executives are also members, Eamples include:
Newsweek Chairman Katherine Graham, editor in chief Richard M. Smith, and 
editor Maynard Parker;
Time chairman J. Richard Munro, editor in chief Jason McManus, managing 
editor Henry Muller, and editor at large Strobe Talbott;
US News & World Report chairman/editor in chief Mortimer Zuckerman, executive 
editor Peter W. Bernstiein, and editor at large David R. Gergen:
New York Times Executive editor Max Frankel and editorial page editor Jack 
Rosenthal;
CBS Chief executive officier Laurence A. Tisch and news anchor Dan Rather;
RCA Corporation (NBC) chief executive officier John F. Welch Jr.,news anchor 
Tom Brokow, and news analyst John Chancellor;and
ABC Cief executive officier Thomas S. Murphy, president Roone Arledge. and 
news analysts David Brinkly and Diane Sawyer.
    Similar CFR influence is evident in business,education,banking and other 
key areas of American life.

Oh geez. How convenient -- the only piece of evidence that could prove any of
Riconosciuto's claims is being held back to save his life. So how will the
letter be distributed if Riconosciuto dies? Someone has it and is hanging on
to it under his orders? Well, if that's what you want to place your faith in,
okay .... 

A couple things, though:

Why would they want to put Riconosciuto in jail, where he becomes a captive
source for anyone with a telephone, quite the opposite of silenced?

How did they manage to catch him on film trading a briefcase for thousands
in cash at the home of a cooperating busted meth distributor on March 3,
5 days before he first made any attempt to contact the Hamiltons, let alone
receive the alleged warning not to cooperate with the Congressional committee?

Subject: News 09/19/92

<begin excerpt>

More `October Surprise'
   tapes surface from FBI
   
At a hearing in New York on Sept. 8
in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
action brought by {EIR} researcher Mary
Jane Freeman, the government attorney
told U.S. Judge Miriam Cedarbaum that the
FBI had located 7,000 documents in its
New York field office in response to
Freeman's FOIA request for records about
Iranian banker Cyrus Hashemi, his
attorney J. Stanley Pottinger, and other
events surrounding the ``October
Surprise.'' Before the hearing, the FBI's
attorney also told Freeman's attorney,
James Lesar, that the ``missing tapes'' of
1980 conversations between Hashemi and
Pottinger have been found, but that they
will have to be translated from Farsi and
transcribed, before it can be determined
if their contents can be released. 
   The tapes, from government wiretaps
of the late Iranian banker Hashemi, would
shed light on how the Reagan-Bush
campaign intervened to prevent the
Iranian government from releasing U.S.
hostages until after the November 1980
presidential election. Suspicion in what
became known as the ``October Surprise,''
centers around George Bush, Reagan-Bush
campaign chief William Casey, and former
Nixon Assistant Attorney General J.
Stanley Pottinger, as well as the
networks that later became the
Iran-Contra connection. 
   In 1980, {EIR} printed allegations
that Hashemi was involved in illegally
violating the U.S. arms embargo against
Iran. Hashemi sued {EIR}, which
subpoenaed government documents that
would prove government awareness of
Hashemi's illegal operations. The
subpoenas to various agencies were
quashed on ``national security'' grounds.
In 1983, Hashemi's suit was dismissed. In
1984, it was disclosed that crucial tapes
of FBI wiretaps on Hashemi's phone had
been lost. FBI documents analyzed by
{EIR} indicate that the ``missing tapes''
consist of eight conversations centering
on the period around Dec. 12, 1980. The
``disappearance'' of these tapes in 1984
prevented the prosecution of Pottinger.
