[ RadSafe ] [Fwd: Suggested public name change for APS]

[Peter Thomas]

Doug et al.,

I wouldn't claim to have an extensive knowledge of Madonna's body of
work (;-)) but I am aware that "Let's get physical ..." was the title
and opening line of the chorus of a song recorded in the 1980s by
British born Australian singer Olivia Newton-John, who by an interesting
twist of fate happens to be a grand-daughter of the physicist Max Born,
all of which seems entirely apropos.
