Phil, Did you read Vonnegut's Syracuse Commencement Address of 1994. Never put so simply, bestowing hope through the following passage: "saints ...people who behave decently and honorably in societies which were so often obscene. Perhaps many of us here, regardless of our ages or power or wealth, can be saints for her child to meet."

I guess word hasn't gotten around everywhere on this one. Vonnegut didn't write it. It's another net hoax. See the Vonnegut home page at http://www.duke.edu/~crh4/vonnegut/mit.html Great piece of work, though! Phil Tompkins
