	I remember asking this same question a few years ago, and I was told
by some graduate physics students at the time that either:

(1) Gravitons aren't affected by a gravitic field; or
(2) There are no gravitons: gravity is strictly the geometric effect of a mass
on spacetime.

	Which of these is correct?  According to my friends (and, by the way,
they were solid-state guys, not relativists or field theorists), nobody knows.
But one of them must be correct, because black holes are observed...
