It'll be my 20th College Reunion although I won't be able to make since I'll be working then. -- Remove blown from email address to reply.

In addition, IME, many BSs (never mind BAs) in physics never really got the hang of special relativity to begin with. -- iMac (27", 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD) � OS X (10.6.3)

You can't get a BS in Physics or Mathematics from Northwestern, although, you can get a BS in Radio, TV, Film or Music from Northwestern strangely enough. -- Remove blown from email address to reply.
