For whatever its worth, a quick look into my copy of the American Astronomical
Society (AAS) membership directory shows no R.S. Richardson (or P. Latham)
there. I'm not sure about the significance of that.  Essentially all of
my professional astronomer friends and acquaintances are in the AAS but
the view here from Princeton and Caltech (where I did my Ph.D) work may not be
representative of the country as a whole.
