By what plausible hypothesis could a person know his subject matter cold but make the blatant (hint: but homonymic) spelling error above? After all, we've all seen Lorentz's name in the literature so often... ...Or have we? Well, I won't keep you in suspense any longer, Dave. Mr. Dahlke, whom I know personally, is totally blind. If I were you, Dave, I'd feel mighty small right now, but who knows, it might just be a (no, stop Ken, don't inflict this pun on the world--you promised to use your skill only for good, never for evil--no, please!) Lorentz contraction. -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 13 Mar 86 [23 Ventose An CXCIV] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7753 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!iwsl8!ken *** ***
