 The Executioners, The Death of Time, Flight Through Eternity,
 Journey Into Terror, The Death of Dr Who, The Planet of Decision.

 COMPANIONS:- Ian, Barbara, Vicki and introducing Steven Taylor.

   The Doctor is using his Time/Space Visualiser, a device which allows
 him to see any event in history. He sees that the Daleks are about to
 begin persuing him in their own time machine.
   The persuit takes us to the planet Aridius, the Empire State Building,
 the Marie Celeste, a theme park containing androids of Dracula and the
 Frankenstein monster and finally the planet Mechanus.
   It is here that the travellers meet the Mechanoids and are taken
 prisoner after the Doctor defeats a robot double of himself. They meet
 Steven Taylor who is also a prisoner of the Mechanoids. The Daleks arrive
 and battle with the Mechanoids whilst the travellers escape. The two
 fighting factions destroy each other but the Dalek timeship survives. Ian
 and Barbara beg the Doctor to show them how to operate it as it works
 perfectly, unlike the TARDIS, but he refuses angrily at first. Eventually
 he relents and choked with emotion he says goodbye.
   The Mechanoids were to be the next big thing after the Daleks but they
 never took off and didn't appear in Dr Who again.
   THE CHASE is available in a BBC Video 30th Anniversary presentation tin
 with a Sylvester McCoy story, REMEMBRANCE OF THE DALEKS. It is due to be
 released seperately in 1995.

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. ...
