Mini-club?  That's 1/220 actual size.  If it comes with 41 feet of track
(that sounds like an odd figure, are you sure it's not 4.1 feet?) that
works out to approximately 1.7 scale miles.)

My guess is that it facilitates editing the audio track with making

Indeed he did.  But Karen (I think) said that foreigners were required
to carry their ID, which is de facto the same thing.  What do the
police do when confronted by someone who says "I am a citizen, so
I am not going to show you my ID so go away" ?  Obviously they detain
the suspect and attempt to find out if s/he is really a citizen.

Now there is of course an element of ignorance to all this.  Most
citizens of most countries probably have no idea what they are required
to do when asked by the police.  And naturally the police will often
*ask* for ID even where there is no legal requirement for it - they won't
say "Do you by any chance have any ID that you would care to show us, sir?"
Here, since there is no national ID card, they will typically ask for
a driver's licence.  It takes a pretty strong will to simply refuse to
produce anything.  On the other hand if you don't have anything with
you, they will not (unlike in say France) drive you home for you to
find it to show them.  Or require you to produce it the next day at
the police station.

No, we were back at my house when I sent that last note.  But yes, before
that I was hooked up to words-l while waiting for a plane to arrive.  I was

  This is an interesting question. I think we agree that there are Good
fundamental and basic beliefs and Bad fundamental and basic beliefs. For
example, the SS fanatics that were mentioned some time ago had fundamental
and basic beliefs that we consider false and revolting. Just what do you mean
when you say that we are bigots if we do not respect those
beliefs, and what form of respect do you have in mind?

On a different subject, what are "chocolate wafer crumbs"?  They don't
seem to exist in bags in the grocery store with things like graham cracker
crumbs.  Presumably one could make one's own crumbs, but that presupposes
the existence of something called "chocolate wafers."  I haven't found any.

	My best guess is Taunton/Raynam, Brad.  It's down close to the
"tuckets" near Rhode Island, and there's a dog track  there (or was
last time I paid any attention).  It's about 10 miles (if that) from
where the Clambake was held.

	It's still a fairly rural area, littered with horse and cattle
farms, with grain stores dotting the state highways like Rt. 44.  The
Halomore Clydesdales are kept on a farm in Taunton.  Halamore is a
heavy equipment company, and their Clydesdales are equal if not better
in quality than the famous Budweiser Clydesdales.  I used to spend
some time at a barn not too far from the Halomore Farm, and in the
Spring we made pilgramages about a mile through the woods to see the
babies.

As I suggested earlier, Natalie, it has to do with how closely you can pack
in cubes vs. spheres (or think of squares vs. circles, if thinking in
two dimensions is easier).  Draw a rectangale (or square) on a sheet of
paper and fill with smaller squares or rectangles.  Now try to fill the same
large rectangle with small circles -- even if they touch, note now much
space can't be covered -- this is analogous to trying to fill your
regfrigerator shelf with cylindrical wine bottles as opposed to wine boxes.
Not really any advanced mathematics needed here -- unless you want to --
simple pictures are all that is necessary I think.

I was surprised to hear that the only college mathematics course you took was
a repeat of high school advanced algebra & trig -- when I entered UC Berkeley
in 1959 that was not even offered -- today our department even offers (for
college credit no less) what is the equivalent of first-year high-school
algebra -- we find many of our students qualify for nothing higher even
though they may have (most have, by the way) taken such a course prior to
coming here.  Don't get me going on this topic --

    I prefer Lurkers and Pouncers.

        Paglia is considered to be a strident anti-feminist.

Surely you mean an anti strident-feminist?
