Only then will we see if this road leads us to any conclusions. - - - - - -(snip) - - - - - - - I won't comment on his itemizing the forces by which water could be lifted up into trees and then demanding to know how this happens. (Incidentally, I found treatment of this wonderful process in Murchie's "The Seven Mysteries of Life" fascinating; too bad he got spooky on the last 2-3 mysteries...) Nor will I comment (explicitly) on his looking to kkollins for guidance.. ("the kkollins leading the fletcher") However, I too am interested in CSF, and attended a satellite conference (sponsored by NSF, prior to the Society for Neuroscience meeting early this month) on CSF as a communications system. Among other things, problems of its circulation were considered. F. Frank LeFever, Ph.D. New York Neuropsychology Group .
