Re: [Phys-l] tonight's nova on the neutrino



Go to
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/neutrino/
and click on "Check Local Listings"
Your local PBS station may yet show it again - mine (WQLN) will!

| Dear COlleagues:
| If anyone on the PHYS-L listserv made a copy of the NOVA program on
| tonight (2/21) on the neutrino could you make a copy for me on a vhs or
| could I send you a blank to copy one for me. My vcr didn't work properly
| and I missed it. Thanks in advance, I'll pay for the VHS tape and mailing.
