>>>Here is the text of THE NEW YORK TIMES piece (in the quickest way I
>>>can send it) from the SCIENCE section of 26 January 1999:
>>>
>>>The Search for E.T.
>>>
>>>he search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, has usually
>>>involved the ears, not the eyes. Most such projects collect and
>>>analyze radio emissions from the heavens for patterns or other signs
>>>that may indicate an alien origin.
>>>
>>>There have always been a few diehards, however, who have argued that
>>>an otherworldly civilization may be just as likely to use light waves
>>>as a means of signaling their existence to the rest of the universe.

>http://www.coseti.org

>>>In fact, some of these proponents argue, given Earth's technological
>>>history, an advanced civilization may be more likely to use a laser,
>>>say, than a more-primitive radio transmitter.
>>>
>>>Now, the Planetary Society, a nonprofit group that has long backed the
>>>hunt for alien life, is sponsoring three new optical SETI programs.
>>>Two projects -- one at the University of California at Berkeley, the
>>>other at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics -- are
>>>looking for very brief light pulses from nearby Sun-like stars.
>>>
>>>The third project, also at Berkeley, is examining data from several
>>>observatories' searches for planets outside the solar system in the
>>>hope of finding a steady, extremely narrow-frequency beam of light.
