Amino acids in meteorite
From: Paul Dietz <DIETZ USC-ECL AT>
I'd take that amino acid story with several grains of salt.  Others have
done the same experiment on the same meteorite and have failed to detect
L-amino acids by themselves.  There is an obvious eror mechanism -
contamination by terrestrial life.  I know that they said that special
precautions were taken, but no one's perfewct.
