[Rhodes22-list] Ron Lipton, more about Science and Politics

[Ronald Lipton]

Ed,

   I already have a PhD, so going back to school as a student is not an

My furlough time is already spoken for. My daughter is due to have twins 
in March,
and she has told me I have to spend my time burping babies and changing 
diapers.
