From DAVID PHILLIPS
Is New Scientist economising on its telephone bill?
By means of a single call, Nina Hall (‘A supercollider for Europe’,
27 July) could have discovered: (1) that I have visited CERN; (2) that I
have never visited the site of the SSC; and, most important, (3) that my
serious public question was about the need for expensive investment in both
the LHC and SSC rather than in a single truly international instrument.
