LISTENERS, JOHN BATCHELOR HAS NOTIFIED ME THAT HIS STUDIO HAD A HARDWARE MALFUNCTION AND HE LOST SEVERAL HOURS OF PROGRAMMING FROM THE PAST WEEK.  THIS PARTICULAR HOTEL MARS DISCUSSING WITH MARK WHITTINGTON WAS LOST.  THERE WERE NO BACKUPS.  I'VE DECIDED TO LET THE ARCHIVE SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAM STAND BUT UNFORTUNATATELY THERE WILL BE NO AUDIO OF THIS DISCUSSION.
