     Refer to issue of January 19.  Yet another 200mpg carburetor story.
Remember G. Spenser Brown and the 4-color theorem flap?  Or the Air Force
researcher who discovered room-temperature superconductivity?  Or the
migma man of cheap fusion?  One tends not to hear about these characters
for very long.

     While scanning New Scientist, make sure to inspect the recent double
Xmas issue.  Contains treatments on why mathematicians are so eccentric,
David Jones' (aka Daedalus) infamous perpetual motion machine, and curiosa
about the patent system.  British science writing has always been excellent.
