There is some corroboration of Rimm's data.  In February of
    this year, the Associated Press reported the findings of Mats
    Wiklund, a researcher at Stockholm University's Institute of
    Computer and System Science.  During a seven-day period in late
    December and early January, Wiklund counted 5,651 messages or
    postings about child pornography in four bulletin boards on the
    Usenet.  The postings included about 800 graphic pictures of
    adolescents engaged in sexual acts.  Wiklund said at least eight
    pictures showed young children, possible ages 8 to 10.
       Furthermore, Wiklund surveyed only half the bulletin boards
    dedicated to pornography and most of the offerings he saw were
    free.  There should be no doubt that Wiklund's data on child porn
    are a minuscule percentage of the total files available on the
    Usenet.  But where I come from, 5,600 messages about child
    pornography are 5,600 too many.

 At the 8 AM mass at a Catholic Church in Somerset,PA., where we were
 visiting, the ushers were handing out a pamphlet and a white ribbon to
 everyone entering the church.  The pamphlet was pretty simple, a one pager
 (two sides) from the Pittsburgh Coalition against Pornography, on the
 occasion of National Pornography Awareness Week.  (Curious choice of a name
 for the week, but, hey...)  You are supposed to tie the white ribbon to
 the car antenna to show that you are in favor of decency and against
 pornography.
  
 The purpose is to tell the community how you feel about (quoting from the
 pamphlet) "cyberporn, Calvin Klein's kiddie porn ads, adult bookstores,
 cableporn, Disney's NC-17 movies, and Time-Warner's violent rock and rap
 music."
  
 The Pittsburgh coalition's phone numner is 412-281-4565.  I am sure that
 they have more pamphlets and ribbons available. (G)
