Subject: Quick freeze correction

My previous message about quick freezing contains an important technical error.
I gave the heat-of-fusion for water (the amount of heat removed to freeze
a certain amount of water) as 540 calories/gram.  The correct figure is only
80 calories/gram, which makes some of my wild ideas slightly less impossible.
(540 c/g is the heat to vaporize water at 100C.)

Sorry for the confusion.
