Ken quoted a press release
" LOCKHEED MARTIN DELIVERS GRAVITY PROBE-B DEWAR
TO STANFORD UNIVERSITY"
This of course is a reference to Professor Dewar who invented the thermos
flask. No relation :-) He was a clever chap, but annoyed people with his
extreme attention to secrecy. A little rhyme exists referring to this
Professor Dewar
Is Cleverer than You Are
None of you Asses
Can Liquify Gasses
:-)
Well, whatever other complaints people might have, I hardly think that
people can decide that my work on Ada is kept secret :-) :-)
