in working there someday.

I realize I have a long way to go before 1 am sufficient&y 7
educated to be worthwhile in research, but T would acore-
ciate the opDortunity to find out a little about how it
works.  In other words,  I wondered if I could be *-$llowed
to observe how you and, or your colleagues work.   Clver
