[R] Variance components from lm?

[Prof Brian Ripley]

In any case, the question was about lm, not lme.

The short answer is that this is easiest from aov, a wrapper for lm, and 
for balanced data will be equivalent to as using lme.  Steve can find 
worked examples for interlaboratory data in MASS (the book, see the FAQ).
