NWFlyer 2 #28 November 9, 2006 Apparently none. But I have read works by Rudyard Kipling, Boris Pasternak, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Isaac Singer, Herman Hesse, John Steinbeck, Jose Saramago and J.M. Coetzee, I saw Cats, and Jimmy Carter spoke at my grad school graduation. Does that count? "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
