What we weren't told (except by David Levy, the discoverer himself) was 
that Jim was actually the first person to see S-M 9 as a multiple object 
(I think he used the term "string of pearls").  David called Jim at the 
observatory on the night of discovery because S-M 9 looked so strange to 
the team of discoverers, and Jim visually confirmed what was later to 
become the most fantastic solar system event in human history.

Have I gotten this all correct Jim?
