| Question about PLATO Press International |
|
In 1974, George B, Myers (myers / o / cerl) created an online
newspaper called "PLATO Press International". I have contacted
George but he doesn't have much recollection of PPI. Do you? I'd
love to hear from you if you do.
Here are some notes
from General Notes from that time period, that talk about it:
01/28/74 07:59 myers/o Note 205: PLATOPRESS Plato Press International A new edition of the Plato Press is ready. This edition has an article in two sections. One is on the activities of the PEER Group on surveys and available time. The second is on World Plan Week Champaign/Urbana, with some explanations of the Science of Creative Intelligence and Transcendental Meditation, including scientific studies and test of the physiological, psychological and socio- logical benefits of TM. Feel free to comment again. This time in the Plato section I have tried, on suggestion, justifying only the left margin. Let me know what you think.

If I wanted to read about TM I could go to any one of their numerous meetings, or read some of their abundant free literature. What business does all that nonsense have in this poaper. There are lots of organizations that could be promoted -- surely you won't and can't promote them all. I thought this was the PLATO press -- not a SIMS newsletter. glenn m. polin --------------------------- 01/28/74 17:20 rowell / e Response 2 Afterall,... disk space is at a premium and if it is going to be used for a PAPER, then that paper should deal with PLATO exclusively. ************************ 02/11/74 10:05 myers / o Note 300: PLATOPRESS Plato Press International Here it is the issue you've been waiting for! This week in the PPI we have the January Al Avner report, the first run of the Plato Profiles -- an interview with The Man, Don Bitzer, by Pauline Jordan, an article on Kennedy, King College summarized from a memorandum sent the PPI so that he could share it with everyone, and an interview with none other than the Red Baron himself. This promised to be an entertaining as well as informative edition. Remember type "platopress" that's all you have to do. I will be glad to here from more remote sites, since there has been interest in that area. Get your articles and reports in to me as soon as possible so that yours can be in the next edition. G Myers, 468 ERL, UofI, Urbana, Ill 61820. ************************ 02/13/74 08:08 myers / o Note 351: PPIRECORD Plato Press International This seems to be a record breaking edition. The number of readers in two days, one of which was broken up, has almost equaled that of the last edition for two weeks running and the first edition for about three weeks. Within this one we need to know what you are doing. Please send us an article or report on what you are doing. There are lots of interested people out there who would like to know what others are doing. Just send it to: PLATO PRESS INTERNATIONAL George B. Myers General Managing Editor Room 468 ERL Urbana, Ill. 61801 ******************* Does this ring a bell? Anyone remember this? Anyone have printouts? |
