found an October 2004 article from the journal Nature (maybe it was Science?pretty sure it was Nature) about Sen Kerry rounding up 3 Nobel Prize Winners to mobilize the scientists for his campaign. Article went on to mention how much the Kerry campaign was emphasizing science, and explicitly mentioned THK's work in these areas.

What really struck me, given the years of Monday-morning quarterbacking we've had to listen to, is how together and forward-looking JK's campaign sounded in this article.

Later (like the end of the week. . .life is totally out of control right now), I'll try to post excerpts (the links to these journals aren't free. . .need to have library access or subscription to access th em)
But it was nice to be reminded that JK and THK are cool, and truly substantive people. Nothing this forum didn't already know, but heartening to see evidence that others have seen what we see.
