Michael,
I'm trying real hard to stop laughing.  The statement that Quine is able
to make everything perfectly clear and understandable is a little bit
of an overstatement.  Try reading his "Two Dogmas of Empiricism."  Come
to think of it, be prepared to try reading it 3 or 4 times before it
makes a whole lot of sense.
