Hey OM:

Sort o reminds me of the FCC ACT of 1934. Where they started stripping
frequencies away from amateurs. Soon we will end up all on a party
line frequency like 10.7 CM along with the solar flux, what the flux?

Childrens books (including Alfred Morgan's) before 1985 are being destroyed
due to lead content in the ink as per Consumer Product Safety Commission
ruling.


Please review article:http://www.city-journal.org/2009/eon0212wo.html

The lead content in ink would be very low, and only could poison you if
you ATE the book. *Any child who would read one of the Morgan books
would be old enough to no longer be chewing on books.

Of course such books shouldn't be thrown in landfill (and burning them
would be bad too as it would release the lead to the atmosphere!).
