I have had so many congratulatory emails that it almost seems as if I have done something good myself …

Biden Announces : Science And Facts Are Back!
Oh. Great. So now you are closer to the power centre. Congratulations. Vijay
I would just accept the plaudits – you have made a bigger contribution here than most get to make 🙂
OK, I won’t send you an e-mail then. Incidentally, Eric was my freshman-year resident advisor at Princeton, next room over from me until overseeing my first-week roommate swap became his first official action. Also in our staircase was Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, who came to Oxford as well.
:-), I meant to insert.
Ken, I never mind getting your emails!
