Thomas E. Whitten Perry Evans, from 4A national security I am willing to submit to a security check and do whatever it takes to get top security clearance. After all, this is serious business. First, of course, I must talk to Sam and persuade him to tell me if those people who picketed his office and accused him of a cover-up are onto something. Or...perish forbid...that they are a bunch of nuts! * * * The subject of outer space not only is intriguing...it can drive you nuts. For example, there is one riddle that has haunted me since I was capable of asking questions: We here on earth are accustomed to everything having a boundary.
