But any student who has spent two days in a particle physics class knows better. And how clever of you to reference a magazine so obscure that even *I* couldn't find it, with all the resources of the University of California Library system at my disposal. I am told by our local LBL physics librarian that Physics Bulletin was a cross between the APS bulletin with it's abstracts, and a small-scale Physics Today, with newsy items, appointments, obits, that sort of thing. It has been replaced by Physics World. The U.C. Library, which saves office memos and old toilet paper, never bothered to keep its copies of Physics Bulletin. So I guess that the wisdom of Hermann Bondi is just lost to me... -Scott -------------------- Scott I.
