I couldn't let you go off on your Easter weekend without a cheerful missive.

DOE: SECRETARY OF ENERGY BODMAN DISBANDS HIS ADVISORY BOARD.
He has never met with SEAB.  A DOE spokesman explained that the
Secretary, a chemical engineer, has "a science background," and
doesn't need advice.  Besides, President Bush doesn't have a
science advisor, and look at how well things are going.  When
Ronald Regan became President, he initially declined to name a
Science Advisor.  He explained that he knew an engineer back in
California he could call if anything ever came up.
