Professors Voice Opinion in Star Tribune

Nelson Christensen, associate professor of physics; Joel Weisberg, professor of physics and astronomy; and Barry Casper, professor of physics, wrote an Op/Ed piece in the December 23 Star Tribune about the lack of an operational national missle defense system in the United States. They argue that the current system, which has been scheduled by President Bush for deployment in two years, is still in its infancy and that an effective technology won’t be developed for many years.
