For any of you interested in the downing of Korean Airlines flight 007
earlier this fall, there is a very interesting and informative article
in this month's (December) IEEE Spectrum magazine, on Page 22.   Due to
the length of the article, and copyright restrictions, I will only quote
from the introductory paragraph:
	``... according to many U.S. experts on both the technology and
	procedures of intelligence gathering, the Soviets may have known
	a great deal less and U.S. military forces a great deal more 
	about the situation as it unfolded than was originally supposed.''

The IEEE is the ``Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.''.
"Spectrum" is the `flagship' publication and often carries articles of
public interest, usually with technical details included.   In my opinion,
this is a generally conservative or middle-of-the-road publication, and
I don't think they have an axe to grind with respect to the KAL tragedy.

I strongly suggest reading this article if the downing affected you.
