CONSPIRACY IN THE NEWS
Popular conspiracy theories of the past decade are the subject of an interesting feature in a recent online edition of the Daily News, the popular New York paper. The article, “The 2000’s in review: The conspiracy theories that just won’t die” is a wide-ranging look at one of the new century’s persistent topics of conversation. Among the topics covered are 9/11, the death of Princess Diana, Y2K, and even theories about the popular Harry Potter series. You can read all about it at the paper’s nypost.com website here.
