Dear Giles & All: Just a quickie to correct a typographical error in my just-transmitted lengthy post: I erronenously wrote "Dr. Stephen Kawking" when I MEANT to write "Dr. Stephen Hawking". Sorry for the error. I guess I must be typographically debilitated. -- SJS 6/3/98 ************** > I also think of Dr. Stephen Kawking: He is > considered to be perhaps the planet's most brilliant astrophysicist, > the Einstein of our contemporary times; and yet there he sits in > his electrically powered wheelchair, almost unable to move a muscle or to > make an intelligible sound due to his terribly debilitating nerve-disease > -- and yet, he is still consistently in the vanguard of how science looks > at the place of Earth, and its future, in the Universe. ***************
