FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUGUST 4, 1992



          Statement by Sen. Al Gore on Bosnia Camps


     Reports of atrocities in the Bosnian war have become a daily

fare of increasingly more disturbing proportions.  Word that

Serbian forces are operating secret detention camps where

helpless and innocent people are kept under barbaric conditions, and where

they are subjected to torture and death at the whim of their

captors, must deepen our anger, our disgust, and our resolve to

take action to strop what is taking place.


     The full attention and authority of the world community must

be brought to bear.  Our government should take the lead to call

for a special session of the UN Security Council.  We should

propose that the Council issue an immediate demand that

international observers gain access to any place where prisoners

are held, that civilians be released to UN custody, and that any

military prisoners must be held under condition s defined by

international law.  That demand should be backed by a readiness

to take collective action, including the use of force.  The United

States should make clear that it is prepared to lend appropriate

support to any such action.  These atrocities are crimes under

international law, and steps should be taken at once to document

them, and to identify those who must ultimately be brought to

justice.


     What is happening in Bosnia to innocent people who are being

brutalized transcends our political differences here at home.

Governor Clinton and I will support urgent and appropriate action

by the Administration.

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. ...
