The following is forwarded from a friend of mine without net access. It`s either a set of platitudes or an astute observation, take your pick. Arguably the two most significant dates in Human History both occurred in July. On the 20th, in 1969, a man walked on the Moon. On the 16th, in 1946, a bomb was exploded at Trinity in New Mexico. The first may someday result in humanity freeing itself from the bonds of Earth. The second may someday result in the Earth freeing itself from the bonds of humanity. Most amazing of all, these dates are only 4 days and 23 years apart. Mike Brooks/Stanford Electronics Labs (solid state)/SU
