News Review is compiled from newswire reports and Internet sources appearing between 15 January - 15 February. The Review is an account of news reports and does not seek to put forward or reflect the views or claims of The Acronym Institute.

Erratum: in the last issue (p.5), a sentence in Jozef Goldblat's article, Nuclear Zealotry: In Search of Justification, read incorrectly as follows - "The claim that nuclear deterrence is needed to avoid biological and chemical attacks is understood by many as a mere pretext to retain nuclear weapons forever, for may countries possess, and will always possess, the capability to produce some limited quantities of biological and chemical warfare agents." The misspelling - "may countries" - should have read "many countries".
