I'm sure most people realize how competitive the NEH fellowships are and how hard it is to get them (especially for younger folks), but if not, they are. Hence, Manuel has clearly established that not *all* the hype about his wonderful ideas is hype. Congratulations!

Thanks Neal, Neil, Andrei, Kevin, Alan, and Eddy!
Eddy, I'm afraid that it is also consistent with the NEH's decision that they thought it might save the profession some trouble if the helped along my writing a book that makes it patently clear just how little there is to my project besides hype.
