That reminds me of a story of a WWII vet, a hero who often wore his medals. Someone remarked that the guy seemed to have a swelled head because he preened around in public wearing medals. Another vet said: "Listen, I was with him when he won those medals. If he wants to wear them in the bath that's fine with me." If Obama gets health care reform through, does something to fix the war in Afghanistan AND allows cold fusion research then as far as I am concerned he will deserve every medal ever issued, including the Olympic medal for Live Pigeon Shooting. Anyway, I told Peter Hagelstein to attend this and try to buttonhole someone from the administration. Knowing Peter, he probably ignored the message from the University Administration. - Jed
