Good spot! I'd fallen for it hook, line and sinker!

Still ludicrous even so far in the past.

Googling to see if I could find out the outcome I was surprised to see how many sites were showing this story as if it was current. I wonder what has brought it to the surface again?

Perhaps people may have thought it a current story because they hadn't realised, like myself, that they had the Internet in the US back in the 70s.

I wonder if Time magazine has just put its archives on the net hence people picking it up as current.
