notice i said the difficulty level of math & science, not math & science classes. the connection between science and science education and the relative difficulty of each is subtle & mysterious
einstein is NOT a better scientist than rachel carson

since recording this show i've found out it was actually written at least a year earlier than we'd said, and appeared in the king's college review of 1948! cambridge vs oxford FITE

_Fred Pohl is still alive. Philip Jose Farmer is too, but he came a few years later._Just realized that Jack Vance is still alive too.

I knew Vance was dead, but I was just thinking about him today. Specifically I was wondering if those two groups of fans who were arguing over whether it was spelt Wankh or Wannek had stopped yet.

I was looking at this list of the oldest living sci-fi and fantasy writers. None of the golden age writers I care about are around, but it's nice to know Ursula K. Le Guin, Gene Wolfe, and Ben Bova are still kicking. Hopefully I didn't just jinx their longevity.

Interesting. Earl Hamner, Jr. Nicholas Moseley.
