newton[lit,jmc]			The 21st century diary of Isaac Newton

	The premise is that the U.S. or England finds itself
with a desperate need for scientific help, but someone discovers
how to retrieve people from the past.  It is decided to retrieve
Newton as a late teenager, because his genius is wanted, not his
knowledge.  Perhaps we need to arrange it so that he is not enmeshed
in some giant government project but is allowed to be a student
or fellow at some university, presumably Cambridge.  Should he
be there anonymously?  My guess is that only a few people should
know about it.

	The diary should be in olde English.

1984 February 3

	I have decided to keep a diary.  Coming into this bewildering
new world with so much to learn.

I told them I wanted to go in the Shuttle, and they said they'd try.
