STARK RAVING MAD

1) Popular Mechanics (Nov. 92, p. 14) answers a reader's letter objecting to the banning CFCs and to the ozone hoax with unusual frankness: "... we have a long history of viewing the world in the context of the current prevailing attitude of our society as a whole. That's where the name Popular in our title comes from... We view the ozone hole in the same way."

2) A professor of "Women's Studies" at S. Conn. U. at a conference of Marxists at Amherst, Mass.: "We don't have 50 years, given the depletion of the ozone layer...either we're going to have a revolution in this country or we're going to have fascism." Boston Globe, 11/14/92.)

3) Tabloid headlines: "Earth spinning out of orbit!" (Weekly World News, 12/15/92); "As Americans adjust nature, wolves get pushed around" (New York Times, 12/92, p.E5).
