A Cable News Network interview last week showed an astronomer (astrophysicist?)
who was saying that analysis of Halley's comet data indicates that it is entirely
frozen water, with no (or small) other frozen components.  He went so far as to
say that the amount of water tends to indicate that comets had to be formed much
closer in toward the sun than the Ooo/rt cloud,and that the entire theory of cometary origins
had to be rethought.  I know Ted Holden will at once relate this to Velikovsky's
Chronos theory of inundation by Saturnian discharge of water long, long ago.

Are there any other ideas?  (Did anyone else see this, or did I have too many
Little Kings before the news that nite?)
