   The Trial for stealing NASA's Lunar and Meteorite Samples
   has been delayed until April 1, 2003. Today, the Federal
   Judge in Orlando, Florida accepted the request from the
   lawyer for Gordon McWhorter to delay the trial until a date
   in the future. The request was based upon the defendant
   not being able to receive a fair trial because of all of
   the NASA publicity regarding the Columbia accident.
