Letters to the Editor
To FERMINEWS:
In the March 30 issue of FERMINEWS, Judy Jackson mentioned, in her article entitled, "Why is a Sammy Sosa Home Run Like a Higgs Boson? Or, What's a Meta For?" an elusive metaphor. Perhaps it's true that "the truth is a hard deer to hunt," but when hunting for quotations, Judy should have turned to her local Fermilab librarians, who could have told her that the quotation is by Stephen Vincent Benet in his short story, By the Waters of Babylon. Perhaps it is a good thing for Fermilab that the truth is a hard deer to hunt, for the quotation continues, "...If you eat too much truth at once, you may die of the truth."
Beth Anderson Fermilab Information Resources Manager
To FERMINEWS:
I very much enjoyed your March 30th article "Why Is A Sammy Sosa Home Run Like A Higgs Boson?" Author Judy Jackson writes very clearly! I'm not a physicist or an engineer but I have been working here 21 years. From an outsider's point of view I feel I know a great deal about the lab, though from a physicist's or engineer's point of view, I suspect I know very little. But your article on metaphors was great for a "knowledgeable/un-knowledgeable" person like myself. So often I'm approached, as I suspect many of us are, and asked, "What is Fermilab, and what do you people do there?" Personally, I like to elaborate on a giant microscope metaphor. However, the next question always has me stumped: "What benefits have your discoveries produced in our world besides knowledge?" Do you think Judy could write about the benefits of our research? I would appreciate it for my personal public relations. I love taking people around the lab on tours, but I am always asked that question and really need to give them a more accurate answer.
