I was wondering if anybody knows some details about an exciting bio-ecology
project called the BIOSPHERE II.  I do know that it is basically a huge
terrarium built in the Arizona desert in which a group of scientists will be
living for two years to see if a self-sufficient ecosystem is feasible in
remote areas like Antarctica or a (wow!) space station on aanother planet. 
It's being privately financed by a philecologist billionaire (the name escapes
me) and should commence this september.  If anybody knows more about this,
please contact me at: J_GREENBLATT@HVRFORD.BITNET
