Date: Fri, 28 Oct 94 14:41:47 ECT From: Ray Wang <RWANG%BINGVMB.bitnet@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU> Subject: Reader's Digest To: fcbs-c@ifcss.org I called Reader's Digest Editorial Board at about 2:30 pm and talked with a Ms. Jackie Mayerhofer for about 20-30 minutes about the issue. Yes, according to her RD is going to release an article on Chinese military spies, based on, according to her, purely research and facts. I then briefed her on the whole senario of the CBS incident. I told her that our community like RD and don't want to see a RD incident. I reiterated that we are gravely concerned with the possible impact of any irresponsible spy myth because its our lives which are at stake. She asked me about what organizations reponded to our concerns, I cited CCR and DIA. She then promised to get back with the responsible editor and they will get back to me. They asked for my addresses, both home and work, and phone numbers. My sense is that they'll go ahead and print it (may be it's already cut and dry). She said that she perfectly understood our concern and would definitely sensetize the relavant editor. Get ready, folks, and I think we might have to deal with it again. Let's see. I think we should publicize this fact that RD is going to carry another spy myth so that our community is vigilant about it. Ray Wang QUIT
