Summary

The Tyler Prize discomfort has just reached my pain threshold.506 It happened when I received a letter from Teddy Goldsmith who wrote to say that he had just proposed me as a candidate for the award. We sure could do with the cash for such things as another Gaia meeting or to support students like Tim [Lenton]. But the continuing round of proposal and rejection has all the obscenity of a Victorian melodrama and with no prospect of a happy ending.
