Thanks for verifying that the model exists. I remember a similar map of San Francisco in the Ferry Building years ago, when it was still a sort of scruffy geology museum. Does anyone else remember that map, or know what happened to it? I hadn't thought of it for years.... (Now I wonder if I dreamed that one too. There are hazards to tuning your clock radio to the news broadcast. I was also dreaming that the back yard was full of Bosnian Serbs, and the United Nations couldn't do anything about it.) Only slightly deranged after a long day at the byte mines.... Barbara Weitbrecht Smithsonian Institution, National Air and Space Museum [log in to unmask]
