From: Aram Falsafi <falsafi () EE WPI EDU> ... Speaking of conspiracies, the Feb. 6 issue of The Nation had a very good piece by David Corn, titled "CyberNewt". Here's an excerpt; "There is nothing particularly futuristic about the funding sources behind the P.F.F. and its conference. Telecommunications firms subsidize the group: AT&T, BellSouth, Turner Broadcasting System, Cox Cable Communications. Other donors to the P.F.F.'s $1.9 million bank account include conservative foundations, Wired Magazine, high-tech firms, military contractors, and drug companies (another foundation passion is attacking the Food and Drug Administration). "When Senator Phil Gramm spoke at the conference luncheon, the tables closest to the podium were reserved for corporate benefactors: Eli Lilly, Seagram's, Phillip Morris, S.B.C. Communications (formerly Southwestern Bell) ... Highly recommended. Aram Falsafi TecsChange
