That's exactly the stuff. I saw a demo of this in class, so I can't give
you specifics, but it's the sort of experiment that takes about 6 minutes
to try on your own. Note, however, that there are a few different kinds of
the foam: i mean the black open-cell stuff that is fairly thin. It might
work with others, but this is what was used on the demo.

Or is it true that a nation cannot cross a desert of organized forgetting?
