I weep, I hang my head in shame, I beat my breast (mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa and what ever it is in Hebrew that Jews say on Yom Kippur), I shall turn in my three-piece grey flannel suit for sackcloth and a hair shirt, I grovel, I cry "Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, a man-child has appeared. Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul?" OK, Ken, I will not use "(sp?)", and I will get a dictionary for the office. Thanks for returning my copy of Strunk and White. John Hobson AT&T Bell Labs Naperville, IL (312) 979-7293 ihnp4!ihuxq!amigo2
