Subject: Slide Rule "Sighting" (on the radio)
Greetings:

I just had a slide rule "sighting" in a story on my
local National Public Radio station (WNYC in New York
City).

They stated that during a surprise inspection by the
weapons inspectors in Iraq at a Iraqi technical school
the students came out for a "spontaneous"
demonstration (I use the quote marks as they had
picket signs ready) carrying the aforemetioned picket
signs, but also their t-squares and (this is exactly
what the reporter stated) their slide rules!

Maybe there's hope yet. Hands across the slide rules,
hands across the nations, yaddi, yaddi, yaddi...
