Quote of the Week:   [The] philosophy of science has lost contact with what
is of basic importance in science by regarding science from the point of
view of theory of knowledge--which is essentially a librarial and
administrative conception of science--rather than regarding it as inquiry,
which is the way the working scientist thinks of science. When you focus on
science as an inquiry process rather than as a body of results, publication 
as communication is the key to it. - Joseph Ransdall
