Hi David,

I bought and hope to read next, 'Objectivity' by Lorraine Daston and Peter 
Galison.  It's a book mentioned in the How To Think About Science series. 
My exposure to the Western slant of things far exceeds my meager exposure to 
Buddhist thought.  But I cannot be satisfied with the little RMP writes 
about it.  I cannot take it simply on his word.  But I assure you, the MOQ 
is very, very important to me.

Marsha
