As for more interesting matters, construction on the Foundation Auditorium will
start in January. Our video facility is now substantially expanded, and we can
not only make up to eight copies of videos at one time, but we can dub in and
out of any format. That includes NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and VHS, UMATIC, 8-mm.
Stills of startling resolution and color are possible, and we are beginning to
archive -- digitally -- many old tapes of "psychics" being caught at their
thing. Also, shows prophesying events that never happened, and various classic
"cold readings" that serve as excellent examples for analysis. The book library
is up to 1,860 volumes, plus all the French, Spanish, and German books, and
hundreds of skeptical journals.
If any of you folks still have books, videos, or journals that you could
contribute to the JREF, please send them along.
I'm off to the Netherlands in January. The A&E series will start in March with
a 2-hour special. (The January debut was postponed.) I'll be on the Discovery
Web, live, on January 8th.
