Under "20 Years Ago Today In Iowa City"

     Prof. Charles C. Wylie, of the university faculty, may secure a "chunk" 
of the meteor that recently fell near Sparta, Ill.  Having previously traced 
the course of another meteor that plunged earthward in Illinois, the S.U.I. 
savant has been invited to Sparta to study the situation.  There are three 
huge fragments, weighing from nine pounds to 20 and 49, respectively, 
available for the research work.

PDF copy of this article, and most I post (and about 1/2 of those on my 
website), is available upon e-mail request.

The NPA in the subject line, stands for Newspaper Article. The old list 
server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is 
more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
