Spider Robinson writes in with an account of a visit to Wardenclyffe, Nikola Tesla's facility at Shoreham, NY, near the north shore of Long Island: "I stood, gobsmacked, within a couple of hundred meters of the base of the tower with which, some of us believe, Tesla accidentally caused the Tunguska Event. The same tower whose admitted purpose was to beam free electricity to the entire world. I wanted, badly, to get closer, to climb the barbed wire fence (at 63!) and stand at the base of that tower of power. But I didn't dare. Today it's a hazardous waste Superfund Cleanup Site, thanks to its most recent owners Peerless Photo Products and the Agfa Corporation, who both polluted it with photographic chemicals. A group called Tesla Wardenclyffe Project (and I've heard there are other groups, too) is trying to honour and preserve Tesla's memory–get the site cleaned up, get it declared a historical landmark, somehow find the money to buy it, maybe turn it into a Tesla museum and scientific tourist attraction–and they could use a shout-out."
