Thanks for your take.  I didn’t mean it to be sarcastic, so perhaps I should revisit that.

Not bad, and not what I expected. A bit sarcastic. I don't think you would get a response. You have to be one of the big guys.

Jochen,

I have attached my draft letter to the Weinstein brothers. 

Elderly as this lists is, I think there are only a few people  on it old enough to have ever entertained the dream of the Jimmy Stewart Professorship.  Do you know that once upon a time there was a culture of ambivalence around getting money for research?   Most of the would-be academics on this list have encountered a much harsher reality.  And now, among the Barista’s of Santa Fe, I regularly encounter young people whom I would gladly accept as my colleagues at any university, yet who will never get the chance. 

It’s just so f***ing sad.  

Nick
