I would like to repeat my invitation to all those who want to read and comment on Heilker's study on the essay. I know Margaret's interested and Will is too, if he can find the book. so how about give anyone who is interested a few days to see if the book is in their library. Let's say we begin discussing it by Thurs or Friday of this week. Any more takers? Catherine F.
