  Umesh Dear,
  You ought to have been at LA enjoying a cheap return fare and hospitality of your schoolday Indian friend.
  Yet I see you singlehandedly manning the ASSAMNET and sulking about American education  taking the Nation  to dogs.
  Read up on Theories of Probability  -- you will come to these:

   Nothing succeeds like success. Atom bomb, Digital Revolution, The CAR,the Interstate....  
   If you cannot beat the racket, join it. - You are there waiting to do that.

   All's the world's a stage-and all the men and women -merely players . So play it.  
   Don't worry for America-Bush is ther for that-Be happy you are THERE.
  Happy Independence Day! Long Live America and the American Dream!And may Umesh be happy!
  mm

Editorial:    
How to Educate Young Scientists   

The United States could easily fall from its perch in the global economy unless it does something about the horrendous state of science education at both the public school and university levels.
