	I saw a letter inin the Wall Street Journal (spring semester 1984,
sorry I can't remember the exact date) that disputed the conclusions of
Sagan et. al. on Nuclear Winter.  I think it was written by a professor of
meteorology.  One of the author's main points was that the heat from the
nuclear blasts and resulting fires would cause precipitation that would
remove most of the sky-darkening particles from the atmosphere.
