Science Fiction in the News Articles
Related to material in Ghostbusters
by Harold Ramis

A great movie with terrific special effects (for its era). What a treat - science fiction with Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis! Just watch out for Mr. Stay-Puft and you'll do fine. Oh, and don't get slimed.

   You knew that someday it would come to this; Homeland Security calls upon the Ghostbusters.

Multimode Directed Energy Armament System
   I suppose calling this a 'ray gun' might be going too far, since I doubt it's portable. With proper miniaturization, maybe.
