Just two questions to our eyewitness of history. Excuse me if I become too
personal.

1. Was Chris right with his mention of you being into deeper relations with the
CIA?

2. Do you know some details (from your experience and the known practice) about
the so called Frank Olson case. He was into bio-war-weapons also for the CIA and
fell out of the window of a big hotel in NY in the Fifties? Since you're
normally not the man to believe in conspiracies, would you assume that such
letal accidents could have been a secret method for traitors or members who
talked too much? I saw a report about Olson's son to bring light into his
father's fate. Olson's widow and the kids were invited by the President... Was
that the proof for something fishy in the affair?

3. If you want to remain anonymous, Bob, you can write under pseudo, say 'Karl'
and nobody could identify you.

Thanks for any answer that makes sense.

[That is not at all off-topic for computerchess, since I'm just making a study
about the background of the 1997 Deep Blue II vanishing!]
