Abstract
Lately, there has been a great deal of scientific, public, and media attention about the health and safety effects of prolonged human exposure to RF radiation, especially with regard to cancer. The situation has been acerbated, in part, by dissemination of a report from a U.S. government sponsored experimental study. Indeed, the release of the laboratory rat cancer result was deemed as something of a public health obligation by the reporting government entity-the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences/National Toxicology Program.The recent interest in this topic prompted me to recall an event that occurred in the mid1970s, when the biological and health effects of RF and microwave radiation were brought to the fore by the revelation in 1976 that two U.S. ambassadors to Moscow had died of cancer;the ambassador at that time, Walter Stoessel, threatened to resign because of widespread staff concerns regarding the potential health implications of an unusual microwave signal the Soviets were di recting at the U.S. embassy in Moscow.
