EFT

If you are going to structure it that way (which is fine with me), you might (or might not)want to say that the overall Energy Task Force was organized and managed by Richard Garwin (whose wiki pages need lot of help- it leaves out his role opposing "Star Wars" as advisor to Reagan, debuking supposed "gravity wave" results in the 70s, as Senior Fellow for Science and Technology at the Council on Foreign Relations and his recently addressing the Gulf Oil Spill.) and that the overal EFT report was addressed to, and at the request of Ralph Gomory.

This further data will make it even stronger. And I am hoping that GyroMagician will comment, too, and that we will have unanimity. I am waiting, accordingly.

My rationale for putting emphasis on the fact that Gunn did work in several areas is because I think doing this is commendable, and I can envisage student exercizes that this emphasis would inform.

I apologize for my use of "girls" -- it was prompted by the way a group of octagenerian ladies now refer to themselves as they were at the time they were allowed to get their M.A.s retroactively. Lesson learned -- never try to be light hearted at the same time as being too elliptical because of communicating in the clear. I have emailed the contact I made at Trinity for the regulations that were in force in the 40s, what made the University change them, and how the change was announced -- just as a matter of local interest, certainly not to go into WP. All that I hoped for WP was change of sentence to "This was somewhat unusual, as he was automatically eligible for an MA."Michael P. Barnett (talk) 22:41, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

No need to apologize, I just thought it was "odd", in the sense of "interesting", not "wrong.

He also worked on trouble shooting the maunfacturing process for printed circuit boards, and a variety of design issues with disk drives, but that was all IBM internal, and it wouldn't be appropriate to publicize the details. Besides not being referencable.
