A Complement

Editor,

I'd like to compliment you and others of SAS on the professional look of the TCS. As a retired chemist and now graphics designer, I'm impressed.

Thank you for it.

Best,

Richard  Haynes


A Sharp Question

Editor,

My question is, why does a hard object like a razor blade become dull  when cutting a soft object like a hair? You may publish my inquiry if you like.

Thank you,

Johan Benson
