Harry Stine
       Isn't he the person who also claimed (in the pages of Analog)
to have discovered, or at least found someone who had discovered,
a reactionless drive, presumably based on mechanical (e.g. gears and
pulleys and electric motors) principles?  I think that Harry (?) Stine
is a person given to the lost causes of physics (FTL, antigravity
and something-for-nothing.)  Last I heard, which was a long time
ago, he was having the predictable trouble in convincing people he
had a /real/ (now the name comes back) 'Dean Drive,' which somehow
produced thrust without an equal and opposite reaction.  Some people
will do anything for a living....
