A brilliant letter, Jim! We eagerly await news of response(s), and
eventual correction of this problem with journalists who are poorly
qualified to write on topics related to science and technology, and
to understand and use SI without fear. A local journalist admitted
to me last week that 'e was afraid of science and math and took *no*
significant courses in these fields during college journalism school.
Let us know if and when we may "chime in" (mention your letter).
After I read Kilpatrick's column, I might give him my evaluation
(essentially the same as yours) immediately (*without* mention of
your letter). It might be more effective with no obvious connection,
as you have preferred on several previous occasions.
Gene.
