Trasco: Not
A Candidate

"After this last year's
campaign, not in Virginia."

"I don't know what the
world would do with an
astronomer running for
anything. We haven't tried
anything of the sort ever
before."

"The only thing about it is
that it's a possibility for a job,
and it's probably no more
impossible to get elected to the
Virginia Legislature than to get
a job as an astronomer
nowadays."
