A small point.  Someone (Marc Seifer? Apologies if wrong.)
   found an article where Tesla, originally critical of van de Graaff
   generators, said, roughly:
      On second thought, should work, even be useful.

   I wonder, sometimes, how many other 'chganges of mind' never
   got reported as widely...

   That's interesting because Harry Goldman reprinted an article on 
VDG's written by Tesla in the 1930's in which he gave a good 
analytical estimate of performance and I can't remember any scorn in 
it.  Somehow I'm surprised at the suggestion.
