Thanks for your encouraging article on Energy Secretary Steven Chu [Aug. 24]. Knowing that a man of his learning and talent is leading the Department of Energy gives me hope for the future.

Can these finely tuned Division I machines really be expected to trudge to Annenberg every day just to get enough calories to survive? What about Steve, the Winthrop employee who used to man the grill every morning? He was a damn good hot breakfast chef and a really nice guy, especially to those hungry lettermen and women.
