Incredible But True?
"The True Story of the Philadelphia Experiment"
Robert Goerman, author of Himmler's War
appeared on The History Channel's show Incredible But
True? "The True Story of the Philadelphia Experiment."
In 1943, a warship was rendered invisible in the Philadelphia
Naval Yard, then teleported instantly to Norfolk, Virginia,
and back. But this technological breakthrough was achieved
at such horrific human cost -- crewmen missing or gone
insane, dead sailors fused into bulkheads--that authorities
deep-sixed the experiment. Or so goes the legend that
still flourishes. We examine this tallest of seaman's
tales and learn how real anti-submarine technology led
to talk of "disappearing ships". The show aired on Wednesday,
November 13 at 8:00 PM, Thursday, November 14 at 12:00
AM and Sunday, November 17 at 12:00 PM.

Wichita Signing for Hero
Todd Hunter is proud to announce that he will
be holding another book signing in Wichita for his book,
Who Needs a Hero? This event will be held at
Borders East (Wichita), January 3rd, from 5-8 PM. What
makes this event so exciting is the fact that the manager
of the store has agreed to adjust the normal percentages,
so that the price of the book can be reduced to reasonable
levels, while all parties still maintain a profit. Hopefully
with this reduced price, more customers will be inclined
to buy a copy. For more information, please see Mr.
Hunter's December newsletter at www.geocities.com/toddmhunter
(newsletter page). This is the third book signing Mr.
Hunter has held in Wichita, with only two other major
stores to go. Look for more information at a later time
