| | How could EU research be improved? 571
My purpose is not to belittle the work the European Commission already

| | Systematic errors in "Big G"? 573
The numerical scatter in classical measurements of the gravitational
constant may, after all, be explicable; the elastic properties of the wires from
which torsion balances are suspended may be frequency-dependent.
