/* ---------- "Fifth force" ---------- */

        There was a recent article in the Los Angeles Times which said
a  fifth  force  had been discovered.  It is called hypercharge and is
about 100 times weaker than gravity.  It changes the answer of the old
question of whether a feather or a iron ball will hit first if dropped
in a vacuum; the feather hits first as iron has a higher  hypercharge.
I  have been unable to find any other references to this new force and
would be interested in reading anything else available on  it.  Is  it
for real?

	There was a small article in TIME mag. (JAN. 20),
  but there wasn't much info in it.
