Lost Issues Found -- January 1996 and February 1996: Okay, so they were never really lost. Still, for reasons that I don't quite remember, the January and February 1996 issues never got converted and posted here. Well, at long last I've gotten it taken care of. This means that we can now say that every issue of The REALL News is now online!
More Issues Broken Up Into Articles: Way back when, each issue of The REALL News was posted as a single long text file. This began back when it was posted on David Bloomberg's BBS, before this web site was created. More recent issues have been broken up into individual articles. This makes it much easier to do a search and locate the specific article that contains what you want. Well, I've been slowly going back through the old issues and converting them into individual articles. Recently I converted January 1995 through June 1995, so I can now say that all issues from January 1995 through the present are broken up into individual articles. Issues from 1993 and 1994 are still generally long text files. I'll try to get those converted soon.

October 1998 Issue: The missing October issue of The REALL News is online! Articles include "Illinois Tackles Repressed Memory Doctor," by David Bloomberg, "Risky Business," by David Bloomberg, and "The Wall Street Journal Blurs Lines Between Science, Opinion, & Politics on Global Warming," by Prof. Joseph E. Armstrong.
