   A recent New York Times article (in the SF Cronicle) says that Chu and Wu
   (Univ. Houston and Univ. Alabama resp.) have reported supercondutivity
   at -283F which is 98 kelvins.  Their work is to be reported soon in
   Phys. Rev. Lett.

   The latest Scientific American reported that the 70K claim from China had
   been withdrawn.
