Site of the Day for Friday, August 10, 2001 Retrofuture This site recounts the the glories postulated by science fifty years ago.

Improbable as it now seems=97especially in our time-obsessed age of instant deadlines=97these folks were dead serious." - from the website Leisure 24/7 link If you can recall a few of the starry-eyed dreams of science in the mid twentieth century, this site may make you sigh for that utopian world of the twenty-first century. http://www.retrofuture.com/ A.M.
