THE FACELESS ONES


 THE FACELESS ONES.   Written by David Ellis and Malcolm Hulke.   6 episodes.
                      8th April - 13th May 1967.
                   
 COMPANIONS:- Ben, Polly and Jamie.

   It is Gatwick Airport 1966 and the TARDIS lands on one of the runways.
 Whilst hiding in a hangar, Polly witnesses the murder of a detective and
 then she and Ben are kidnapped. The Doctor discovers other disappearances,
 all involving Chameleon Tours, a small airline. The kidnappers are an
 alien race called the Chameleons, a race with no identities and faces due
 to a nuclear explosion. They are dying out and have a method of taking the
 faces and identities of humans. They have kidnapped some 50,000 people
 and having miniaturised them, are keeping them in a space station high
 above the Earth. The Doctor manages to free the captives and finds a way
 to help the Chameleons survive.
   Ben and Polly are hardly seen in this story and decide to stay on Earth
 at its conclusion.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
