Re: [ARSCLIST] Edison factory fire

[Steven Smolian <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

This guy is reference credible.  He's a professional researcher.  The book 
is heavily and, I think, accurately sourced.  I may have more to say after I 
finish the read, but his IBM book was devstating and seemed frightiningly 
accurate.  I haven't actually looked at his sources but, givin the 
consequences of falsification, he's still around and writing speaks volumes 
(this is his sixth).  His preface discusses his sources and methodology and 
mentions specifically archives that were uncooperative (most helped.)

I didn't expect this to go off topic but to clear up some of the muzziness 
concerning the Edison fire (the Site is cited.)
