   Dr. Lorenzo Marrucci of the University of Naples writes IN FACT:   
   "The fact that the Lorentz force ......................... can violate   
   Newton's 3rd principle (in its traditional formulation) is well known,   
   any physicist with good training knows this.   
   The reason (as Fabri also writes in the short paper he provided me)   
   ... the existence of a net resultant not zero on the V dipole seems to   
   me correct and plausible .......... ................................ "
