I guess that we're down to three now. That's too bad. I recently read Scott Carpenters, "For Spacious Skies" and thoroughly enjoyed about the last half. Good stuff about the transition from NACA to NASA and the astronaut selection process in there. I suppose I'll have to read, "Leap of Faith" now, too. Incidentally, when did Paula Zahn do a story on UFOs? I must have been asleep or somethin' :-( |

Please deposit 5 million dollars to the Swiss account, and remind the State Department that they haven't got enough money in the entire world. But they do however have an extraterrestrial saucer at Groom Lake. |

Are that Valerie Ransone and the one mentioned in this article: http://www.jmdigitalscrapbook.com/HK...KTVTimes.shtml One and the same? "The day began with breakfast, early for the locals but late for the visitors, at the Furama with Chun Kam Fong, Five-O’s super sleuth, Chin Ho, who is as celebrated here as MacArthur. Other members of the party included MacArthur’s friend, the lovely Valerie Ransone, former CBS correspondent and Washington power broker, who was putting together the Far Eastern links in a new alternative radio service, The Information Network, of which she is president, principal shareholder, chief correspondent and board chairman. It also included the Dutch photographer, Hugh Van Es, who speaks American English with the tones of a Five-O villain." I couldn't find a photo of her in a Google search of images; in fact, this article is about the _only_ thing I could find that mentions a "Valerie Ransone" that isn't related to Cooper's book. "CBS correspondent"? "Washington power broker"? Huh? This needs more research... :-\ Pat |

Who's willing to bet that the phone number rings up the Torre Bert space radio interception station in Italy, and disturbs Elena Judica-Cordiglia's weekly I Ching reading for Ms. Ransone and the shade of Edward R. Murrow? You call her up Jim- but you make damn sure your horse is in plain sight the entire time you have her on the phone, and that your hog-leg is well oiled and loaded. And watch the skies...keep watching the skies! :-) Pat |
