Hi Terry,

Are you sure you don't mean General Dynamics (not GE) Combat Systems Group (in Burlington, VT) which manufactures gatling guns for the F-15, F-16, and F-18 aircraft (as well as much more)? Prior to 1992 General Electric owned General Dynamics, but in 1992 it changed hands to Martin-Marietta.

>>I once had a course where my instructor gave the assignment to write a one page paper describing a ping pong ball using only facts. That's all he said. No one passed the test. If you said it was white, he said did you measure it with a spectragraph? If so, what were the results? If you said it was round, you were wrong, becuase it is not. Round describes a two dimensional object, it was spherical - a three dimensional adjective. My point is, newspapers give information, not facts, based on their political leanings. Your sources are filtering the data according to their religious/political/ethnic/etc. perspectives. Don't confuse facts with news.
