My sense at the time is that the 8000 pundit group idea came about after MMY realized we were never gonna get the numbers needed here in ffld for superradiance, around 86 or so. Now it's come full circle and they're back to trying to get the numbers here but with help from india. When Settle runs out of money, then it'll probably shift back to india. > I had access to every significant American Movement > publication during those years.
