Continuing off-topic, I remember that when I was young (very young) I
read a nice proposal for a reform of the calendar, made by Isaac Asimov.
I cannot find it anymore and, for some strange but human reason, I'm no
more in the possibility to ask Isaac himself.
Did anybody read it and can tell me where I could find it?
Thanks,
