A few corrections to Kurt's bibliography (speaking as one who has just spent hours in the U.C. Berkeley libraries digging many of the articles out): W.F. DeGrado, Z.R. Wasserman, and J.D. Lear "Protein Design, a Minimalist Approach" Science, 3 Feb. 1989, pp.622-243 <== WRONG Science v.243, 3 Feb. 1989, pp.622-628 <== RIGHT C. DeLisi "Computers in Molecular Biology: Current Applications and Emerging Trends" Science, 1 April 1988, pp. 47-240 <== WRONG Science v.240, 1 April 1988, pp. 47-52 <== RIGHT It's easy to see how the mistake got made - the volume and page numbers are in similar positions on facing pages. I was also disconcerted to discover that the Erber & Putterman paper had been ripped out of the bound Nature in the undergraduate library. The only other time I've seen this happen was over 15 years ago when I was looking for a paper on the growth rate of Stropharia cubensis mycelia as a function of temperature and nutrient concentration. Then, I assumed that either some aspiring psilocybin mushroom grower couldn't afford $.20 for the copier, or some federal agency wanted the information suppressed. But why would some low-life want to steal an article on Randomness & Quantum Mechanics? Or is nanotechnology already dangerous enough to suppress? Howard A. Landman landman@sun.com
