    You see that and I see that, but a less critical reader, especially one
    unfamiliar with cryonics, probably would not see that.

    This is true, but for many people the sports page is most of the news
    they're going to absorb. So if they get a distorted view from there,
    it's not like they're going to take the effort to correct it elsewhere.

    Perhaps someone from this list could write a letter to the editor and
    see if they'll publish it. It mgiht help to clear this matter up or at
    least provide an alternate view for readers of that page.

    Cheers!
