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 :-) :-)
