     In last evening's edition of All Things Considered on NPR it was
mentioned that the Pentagon is conducting research on the potential 
influence of psychics on the functioning of computer hardware in military
weapons. It seems that if the psychics could bend spoons by their supposedly
supernatural power then the low power devices (CMOS microprocessors ?)
used in military systems could be easy targets for them. Sounds like an
interesting twist to an already complex world of military electronics.
It was also mentioned in the program that the Soviets are believed to be
far ahead of the U.S. in this area of research.
     Does anyone know more about this area of research and any reported 
evidence of psychics affecting the function of computer hardware?
