I was excited to read what you had to say about Phil's fellowship.<br /><br />The last two sentences of your third paragraph sent shivers up my spine.<br /><br /><em>"Phil Baran produces the same wistful nostalgia in a young aspiring organic chemist that a Detroit car manufacturer from the 50s would produce in a young automobile engineer standing on the empty grounds of a once-thriving factory. He reminds us of the time when synthesis was king."</em><br /><br />What a wonderful metaphor.David Krollhttp://forbes.com/sites/davidkrollnoreply@blogger.com
