Subject: Thatcher urges Israeli students to unlock 'secrets of the universe' 
Organization: The Ohio State University
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 02:50:54 GMT



	JERUSALEM (UPI) -- Israel's leading university named a new science
center Monday after former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who
urged the nation's researchers to ``unlock the secrets of the universe.''
	But Thatcher, honored during a luncheon at the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, left a few riddles of her own during a trek through the
campus and its labyrinthine chemistry laboratories.
	Visiting Israel for the first time since it was bombarded by Iraqi
Scud missiles during the Persian Gulf war, she refused to discuss the
mounting controversy in Britain over reports her government turned a
blind eye to Iraq-bound arms.
	Nor did she comment on whether there was any credence to suspicions
that her son Mark was involved in some of the weapons dealing.
	``I am here not to answer general questions but for a specific
purpose,'' she said, rushing down a corridor towards a new science
center named in her honor.
	The building is called the ``Margaret Thatcher Interdepartmental
Scientific Equipment Center.''
	About a meeting with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin earlier in the day,
Thatcher was only slightly more forthcoming.
	``It was most interesting,'' she said. ``We always keep these things
confidential. There are problems that have to be solved and they will be
solved.''
	Thatcher, who was trained as a chemist before going into politics,
waxed eloquent, however, when speaking about the sanctity of science
education in Israel and elsewhere.
	``It is a holy questioning,'' she said. ``We might unlock the secrets
of the universe and use them for the benefit of mankind.''
	``For we who work in politics, our challenge is to insure that the
knowledge is put to use for the good of mankind,'' she said.
	Thatcher asked tough, informed questions during a session with
science graduate students and faculty.
	``We tried to explain things to her in simple terms, but she kept
knocking the discussion up to a higher level,'' said Menachem Megido,
dean of the science faculty. ``It seems that all of her basic chemistry
knowledge is still there.''

Dear Netters and in particular Ms. King and The Jewish readership
of the SCI,
	
	It has come to my attention that there is a lot of flames
directed towards this group of netters and the advice most often
given is to ignore this blatant display of haterd. I strongly
disagree with this suggestion and I want you all to be aware of
this view and know that racism against Jews exists among Iranians
as well as other nations. I am saddened by the support that a
right wing facist such as MG would get from educated people reading
this newsgroup.

	I won't dignify the racism by replying to it, but I know its
there. I know that Jewish people may also have some perdepositions
against non-jews and in particular against muslims. However, the only
solution is through communication and understanding. Some claim that
a certain race is a cancer that must be removed, I refer them to our
great poet Saady. Others claim that its them who persecute and victimize
and not us. True it might be, what do you gain by acting the same way?
It is heartwarming that people of different belives are sitting around
a table to discuss and work towards a peace. I am talking about Arabs
and Israielies and the fact that both sides have realized that only
through mutual understanding we can improve the conditions. I know what
is feels like to be discriminated against and I don't want to discriminate
against others for their belifes.

	I would like to see more cultural and social discussions in
this group not the slanders and flames that seem to dominate the use
of the bandwidth. Furthermore, such personal and baseless attacks 
merely reaffirms the idea that we, Iranians, are nothing but a bunch
of savages who are bloodthirsty and uncompromising. (Nothing is further
from the truth as we all know.) In short, think before you post, and
post with your mind and not your heart as hearts give in easliy to
the temptations of Satan.

Well, now we are getting off the sci mandate (!) but the reason that 
manholes are round is that a circle cannot fall into itself. A square
design would allow the manhole cover to fall into the manhole by
accident. A circle design does not.

I was browsing through some issues of The New Statesman some time ago
and found an interesting article bearing this apt title in the June 5,
1992 edition. The article examines how Western monetary policy is a form
of "fundamentalism". I found the article to be intriguing even if I did
not agree with all of the author's arguments. I thought you might be
interested to read some exerpts:

***********

The fundamentalist west is still preaching to the rest -- having swapped
its guns and Bibles for the dictates and mantras of the free market,
says Jeremy Seabrook.

....

Its model of economic development is now a vehicle for fervour; a model
that has yielded such wealth in the west that it has now become a source
of hope and emulation worldwide.

It was the imposition of apparently irresistible western patterns of
development on Iran that drew the fateful response from Islam. Indeed,
Islam has been the only force in the world that has resisted [...] the
western way of wealth; all other societies appear to have gone down
without a struggle. Not even communism, that great rival faith, has been
able to withstand its superior power. 

[...]

But here is a problem. The amassing of the west's wealth depended for
centuries on the occupation of other people's lands, and the tribute
exacted by their conquerors. These conditions are simply not available
to those now being urged to follow the western path. It is becoming ever
clearer to people in the third world that western promises are
disingenuous and unrealisable; are, in fact, prescriptions for
subordination, the maintenance of western privilege, and have little to
do with lifting the mass of suffering humanity out of hunger and despair.

[...]

The west does not issue fatwas against individuals. We prefer sentences
of mass death, to be executed by the impersonal forces of "economic necessity".

[...]

If we want to understand the "rise of fundamentalism" in the world, we
ought to begin by looking at our own far from insignificant role in the
generation of this destructive phenomenon.

I am not an expert in the field of religion nor am I the one that can properly
answer your question, however as a moslem and an Iranian I hold my prophet,
my god and my country dear to my heart and life.  It does not help a healthy
discussion to use a blasphemous language nor is it respectful to others' belief
to use sarchastic terms such as "Mr. Mohammad" or "Mr. God" or "pompous".  
Please refrain from using profanit,y or quasi-profanity when you are fully
aware that it will hurt the goal of the discussion, (specially when it comes to
Mohammad (salallah) ,god and IRAN), as long as you are posting on sci.

     i think the reason sewer manholes are round, as opposed to square,
     points back to improve the "assembleability" (sp?).  for the non-
     mechanical engineers out there, that means that something is more
     easily put together, if it doesn't matter which way one object fits
     into another for assembly purposes.  that way, it doesn't take as
     much time, or labor, to put something together.  so, if the manhole
     was square, the person doesn't have to worry about lining it up
     before dropping it down.

     but "design-for-assembly" theory certainly doesn't outdate manhole
     design.  so, the real reason may be that manholes are round
     simply because it's much easier to get a quality casting
     (i think it's called reekhteh kAree in farsi) that's round, or
     spherical, than one that has sharp edges, or corners on it.

     so, there you have it...

Not quite!  I had a call from a 7 digit number just yesterday and
the connection was not made easily!  It took (at least the number
of times it rang at my end) 4 times (I would pick up the phone and
there would be no connection) to finally be able to talk.  We also 
got disconnected once shortly after connection.

They certainly are or at least were so back in June.

Anonymous posting is the best tool for the "silent majority" to voice
their views.  These are the ones who dare not speak their minds openly
for fear of repraisals by the authorities back at home (or their

worse than it is now.
