Abstract
Over the last decade there has developed a public concern and in many cases public fear over potential biological hazards of exposure to non-ionizing radiation - with a unique fearful connotation to "microwaves." How did this happen and what can be done about it. We believe the basic problem is that of a propaganda war - not scientific or technical. The tools required to restore rational perspective are rhetorical and require expression in the media if the public is to be reached.
