"Remarkable particle track"
  In a PFI image, where nice long tracks are rare we found a long (1.4
  mm) particle track that was curved. This nugget makes some comments
  about how this can be - just for the fun of it - and then concludes
  with a truly spectacularly tracky EIT image from the "snowstorm"
  following the July 14, 2000, event.

CAMPAIGNS 

none.
