Hot off the presses (and on acid-free paper to boot):-
`Information technology and the research process: proceedings of a
conference held at Cranfield Institute of Technology, UK, 18-21 July
1989' edited by Mary Feeney and Karen Merry. Bowker-Saur, 1990. isbn
0-86291-476-0
This is the published version of the conference on which I posted a
detailed report to Humanist last July. It's well worth ordering from your
library for my contribution alone.
Modestly,
Lou Burnard

Subject: Earth Day: Reflections on Immortality
This arrived too late for Earth Day. I hope it is short enough that
those who receive multiple copies will not suffer unduly.
What would save the world,
More than any other thing,
Would be our immortality -
For we would no longer try
To lie, knowing forever is
Too long not to get caught
Too long to spoil with our
Lies, our cheating, lives,
Lives lived so differently
If we only knew we will be
Around to see all results,
ALL RESULTS, of everything
We have ever done. More a
Benefit to the environment
Than to ourselves would be
The Gift of Immortality.
