Geek Counterpoint -- Your antidote to soundbite science!

April 15 is the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, and it's been just over 20 years since the ship's wreck was found, so I thought it'd be a good time to talk about some aspects of the tragedy that aren't often discussed, but still hold lessons for our day. Listen in, and you might learn a thing or two about the loss of (what one satirical rag has tagged) "the world's largest metaphor." I'm a bit of a Titanic buff, so since I tend to get a bit chatty on the subject, this is the first of two episodes.
