An article in this morning's CNN news website will be of interest to 
some members of this list:

"Radioactive documents found at National Archives facility" 
<http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/05/12/radioactive.ap/index.html>

The article concludes: " 'We've notified all our reviewers to be 
careful,' said Roger K. Heusser, director  of the declassification 
project for the Department of Energy. 'Most of these records are 
letters and reports in file folders. If you do see a packet of powder,  
it's pretty evident there is something unusual in there.' "

Not to begin the kind of Friday morning discussion that swamps the 
ARCHIVES listserv...but I'm reminded of the several collections of 
UCLA LSD researchers I've processed (and have yet to come upon 
blotters, powders, or pills)...
