Yes, I knew of him. A great man. There are about twenty international diplomats who did this sort of thing. The most famous was Wallenberg of Sweden.

I don't think we want to use corn _or_ sugarcane for producing ethanol in the long term. The problem with corn is that it produces a lower energy ethanol. Sugarcane *is* much better in that regard. But why are you worried about sugarcane? We don't use it all that much in the US, even for making sugar. Last I heard, sugar beets was the big resource in that industry. (In the US that is.) As I understand the ethanol research, grass and cellulose are looking to become popular resources for ethanol with several useful byproducts as an added bonus. xponent Drastic Maru rob ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Writing workshops +
I have been looking for on-line writing workshops. In Writer's Digest's, The Writer's Yearbook 2008, I found a full-page ad for the Gotham Writers' Workshop. At their site, www.writingclasses.com, I found that they have classes in numerous types of writing, including Science Fiction. Does anyone have any experience with or knowledge of Gotham Writers' Workshop? How about any other on-line workshops? Another topic: my daughter got me Dramatica 4.0, a tool to help organize thoughts for writing. Does anyone know about this product? Thanks.
