TC's have probably made it into Nat'l Geo several times,
but the two that I know of are:
The Lightning issue (1996?) where Richard Hull and the
members of the TCBOR, their laboratory, TC's and
magnifiers, and other related work are promenently featured.
The July '97 issue on page 94, where my coil is shown
zapping robots, physicists and christmas trees.

Coco, (a.k.a. Rob) has done some nice TC work, and I believe
is still on the List. Rob has a lot of experience now with
operating TC's in hostile environments, such as those that
contain hostile stage managers and sound technicians...
You out there Rob?
