As news coverage goes, the apparent tone underlying that interview was of the "oh God they've stuck a camera and microphone in my face and I can't extrapolate a random variable with a quadratic trend in my head" ilk. If anything, this suggests that the press (and general public) need access to some very well-prepared web pages which concisely and accurately lay out all the issues of leap seconds now and into the future. -- Steve Allen UCO/Lick Observatory Santa Cruz, CA 95064 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: +1 831 459 3046 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla PGP: 1024/E46978C5 F6 78 D1 10 62 94 8F 2E 49 89 0E FE 26 B4 14 93
