Brings back memories. Alvin Cohen was one of my profs at U. Pgh. Like Murray Kornhauser, he was an early expert in his field that deserves more recognition-- in Cohen's case, meteor crater identification and lunar studies. =20 I remember I wrote a paper on the Nahkla meteorite for his course--it was a good persuasive paper but he took points off because I mis-spelled "Nahkla" throughout it. I still have to look up the spelling...did I spell it right? Dr. Cohen had a thin section of Nahkla to study. I remember learning of the dead dog story, and I noted there were no canine hairs in the thin section. Dr. Cohen's wife, whom I also had the pleasure of meeting, is a very nice person from Finland. It was rumored by some grad students that Dr Cohen looked at various cultures and came to the conclusion that a wife from Finland would suit him best. Of course, I doubt if this rumor is true, but it says something very positive about the careful scientific methodolgy he follows in his research. People extrapolated it to his personal life in rumor. He is a careful scientist, and his conclusions were well founded. I liked him as a prof. very much. Francis Graham __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
