I'm going to be doing some traveling for the next few days, so posting will be intermittent, depending on time and internet access. E-mail, similarly, will stack up until the middle of next week - anyone with lucrative publishing offers, please wait until then to send 'em to the top of the queue. I think the drug industry will manage just fine without me. . .
