Hawking's a day late and a dollar short: The "Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence" (SETI) has already been going on for more than 20 years! See the SETI Institute's website at http://www.seti.org/

Dear Friends of Percy:

Here we find perhaps $100M as well spent as anywhere.  To suggest a Percy response: "[We] live in a deranged age, more deranged that usual, because in spite of great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing."

I'll cover the postage if someone might purchase two copies of "Lost" for Mr. Hawking and Mr. Milner. 

Best,
Henry
