Committee for Skeptical Inquiry

[SkeptInq@aol.com]

I know you know.  What a terrible time it is for those of us who try and
promote science, reason, and skeptical inquiry.  Where is the next Asimov,
Feynman, Sagan and Gould?

We have so much more work to do.

specializations. Stephen Jay Gould -- who died of lung cancer yesterday at
