[USMA:27955] RE: Metric product and article

[Bill Potts]

I noticed that too. (The Mars article does actually have one parenthetical conversion to miles [fold-out page] and one to pounds [page 27].)   As I skimmed through it, I was suddenly optimistic. After all, this was the January edition of a new year. I thought that they had finally seen the light and was ready to rush to  my computer to let everyone here know. Imagine my disappointment when I found the old units in every one of the other articles.
