When a problem surfaces on CD one day and has been fixed or explained just a little while later, you can be sure that some duck has been churning unseen feet to make that happen.

Ari, your concerns are well founded; but I'm sure you also know we've got some powerful ducks looking out for FIRST. This year has had its full measure of problems, but we can look forward to a better next year.

I've learned a lot this year and I suspect many others have, too.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
