01Jan06 Put Table 1 in landscape format. It was sideways in the letter, but it's easier to turn a manuscript sideways to read than a computer monitor. Thanks to Foerd Ames for this suggestion. In Index, say something more about tensegrities with elastic tendons and how they compare with tensegrities with inelastic tendons.
