The mother, Joan Resch, said that the two from Case Western can enter the house after William Roll, director of the Psychical Research Center in Chapel Hill, NC, is done with his investigations. However, Mrs. Resch refuses to allow Randi in. Roll says it looks like a case of "recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis" and wants to take the girl, Tina, to Chapel Hill for further testing. Randi has asked to be allowed to participate. @@@@@@ I'd say that the fact that a magician can detect fakery better than most others has no bearing on refusing Randi's involvement :-). -- Joe Presley (mhuxj!presley, ihnp4!j.presley)
