	A subscription to Science Magazine, or, better yet, Nature, will 
let you review the evidence and reports of calculations, as they are done.
The recent Greenland ice core gives one of the persuasive contributions to 
the accumulated evidence.  I've not seen anyone even bother with the 
precessional argument except J. M. Green, who seems to have avoided any 
contamination from recent investigations.  Argument by authority is 
not needed, and I see no reason to respect such argument.
