p> ALIEN APPEAL br> Re: William Tucker's Tesla's Last Triumph : /p> p>William Tucker writes that Nikola Tesla has "sunk into obscurity." The statement does Mr. Tucker credit, for it shows that he is unaware of the importance Tesla enjoys in the amazing crackpot world of the UFO enthusiasts. In that alternate universe, Tesla's name frequently pops up as the inventor of (suppressed) technologies that underlie fantastic vehicles, weapons, and other systems of all sorts. It boggles the mind. br> -- William Ducker br> Austin, Texas /p> p> I hope one of those five remaining D.C. customers of Con Ed scheduled to be terminated by year end is not the New York City Transit System. Subways, elevated trains, and commuter rail lines using third rail to gather current are run with D.C. Trains using overhead electric catenary systems are AC. br> -- Stuart W.
