Replying to LO8008 --

Thanks to Jack Hirschfeld for passing along Thomas Kuhn's obituary.
Kuhn's passing should not only be of interest to us, we should be saddened
by it. Kuhn set free our thinking about science and for that the human
race will remain eternally in his debt. A remark from the fourth book of
White's "Once and Future King" seems appropriate here. On the eve of the
great battle, Merlin comforts Arthur, who is wondering if Camelot was
worth all the bother, with the observation that the only thing worth doing
for the human race is adding to its stock of knowledge and that Camelot
had done so. So did Thomas Kuhn.
