of the range of activity, but global in terms of the amount of activity. This is definitely the most revealing information to emerge publicly from the old Soviet Union since Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain, which was published more than twenty years ago. Most of us heard of some form of alien contact in the town of Voronezh during September 1989, but few researchers managed to extract the information published here.

HONEST COPS - Revealing accounts of Australians who stood up to corruption and suf- fered the consequences. By: Quentin Dempster Publ: ABC Books Dist: Allen & Unwin Australia The introduction to this book says it all:- ‘Before too much more water passes under the Australian bridge, perhaps it is time to reflect on our pathetically JUNE-JULY 1992 corrupt culture. Politicians have been exposed mak- ing salivating lunges for the out- stretched cheque - or, in some cases, bags of cash, QUENTIN DEMPSTER Entrepreneurs and corporate leaders have been exposed misleading and then ripping off millions of dollars from their shareholders who put faith in their apparent drive and vision. Public officials, from the judiciary down, have been exposed putting the pecking-order of their careers before their broader responsibility to the peo- ple and the maintenance of the good standing of our institutions. Police officers individually, in groups, and, in some cases, entire departments, have been exposed organ- ising the crime - not fighting it. The failing of the media over decades properly to inform and the role of some journalists in disinformation campaigns orchestrated by the corrupt in return for questionable sensation are now painful- ly apparent.’ This book looks at the shameful way that a corrupt system has "paid back" the few who dared to follow their con- science. My only complaint is that book deals with what I call "low level" corruption, a term I am sure the author would agree with, Mind you, I don't ever expect to see “high level” exposure of corruption - high level ‘whistleblowers’ just don't seem to live long enough to testify.
