Yes, you're right about the Sallyport being the alumni magazine, but the
article, despite the neat graphics ;), is riddled with errors. Most of the
info in it was taken or mis-paraphrased from the Provost's lecture George
gave here several years ago. I'll be happy to send you (or anyone else) a
copy of that lecture, if he says it's OK ... assuming you want it. :)
