I guess this has nothing to do with the story, but Ms. Hobza has perhaps the most gorgeous voice and infectious laugh I've ever heard on the radio. And she builds paper airplanes, too? *Sigh*

You incorrectly stated on the show that The New Millennium Paper Airplane Contest took place in Brooklyn. It happened at the New York Hall of Science in Queens. Not everything cool happens in Brooklyn!

There is a link to a slide show of the paper airplanes, but this link does not work. Same thing applies to the David Hockney's slide show.

Otherwise, Kurt, today's program was instructive, perceptive and relevant.
