Gravity's Speed (was Re:"Difficult"?

[MASCARO at humnet.ucla.edu]

No scientist I, I'd assumed the same about gravity as you state.  Yet, just yestiddy, I heard 
Alan Guth (of the Expansionary Big Bang Model fame--named by NATURE as *one of t
he
 brightest scientists under 40 in the world*--so eat yer hearts out, all my underachieving 
cohorts--er, that is, join me in a big heart eating session as we insult all of these precocious 
young guys) in a radio interview say that gravity moved at the speed of light!!  Baffled me, 
byut then, it may have been something he misunderstood in the interviewer's (to my 
ears) annoying  and confusing questions.

Does his inflationary model, which he sez accounts for the mystery of the missing 
magnetic monopoles, require that gravity move?
