Who wants to discuss string theory???
For anyone who has the time, here are tidbits from 'The Elegant Universe,' a documentary my friend recommended to me two minutes ago. Apparently Steve Weinberg talks string theory in the later episodes - in at least "Too Elegant to be Wrong?" which I've just watched. "he looks more like a businessman than a physicist," my friend says.

In other news, this morning I was delighted to see the Telluride Association letterhead on one of the papers cluttered on my counselor's desk. She has to start recommending prospective candidates from the junior class for next year's batch (has it been that long?) - and I got to pitch in my suggestions, oh the power trip.
