Barry Barish | 18 August 2005I have been writing the Director's Corner weekly since 8 June 2005, and this edition represents my tenth column. It was never my intent that the Director's Corner be a standalone communication, but rather that it be part of a weekly newsletter.
Barry Barish | Next week the Snowmass ILC Workshop will begin. More than 600 participants have already signed up. Snowmass promises to be a very exciting and productive two weeks for the ILC.
