I note from the most recent "Science News" that U. California has received a $36 millon (!) bequest from a Marion O. Hoffman to build an optical telescope with a 10 meter mirror on Mauna Kea (probably) as a memorial to her husband Max. Would anyone involved in the project care to provide more technical details to the net? When I was at Berkeley, there was quite a feud going on between rival mirror designs ("rubber" vs. thin ceramic). - Bob Lewis ...!tektronix!teklds!bobl
