We were interested to realize, when my husband was on staff at Auburn

You probably have no enthusiasm for doing anything at this late
date, but there are steps one can take to deal with this kind of
thing.  They are, to be sure, uncertain, tiresome, draining, and
ultimately offer little more than personal satisfaction when they
involve academic writing rather than lucrative commercial
publications.  This gives me a chance to recommend, again, I book I
like on the subject: _Stolen Words: Forays into the Origins
and Ravages of Plagiarism_ by Thomas Mallon (Ticknor & Fields, 1989).

Ken's out-of-service. AT&T's computer is down :-)

Filling in here...The way my family used the word, "Mashugeh"
is the adjective: "You're mashugeh!" But "What a Mashugena!"
or maybe "a Mashugener"...I'm not sure how I heard it. Maybe
both ways. But yes, "Crazy" is what it means.

And many of us like the idea that people who live in Michigan
are Michiganers. :-)

Also, there is a related noun, Mishagoss, which means "crazyness".
Like the noted Russian violinist, Mischa Goss.

I think that's the loony Animal Liberation Front you're thinking of.
The Greens in Germany are a mainstream party nowadays with quite a
large following and fairly sensible attitudes.

But now I know.....  And it arrived with no name at all, only some
obscure Mississippi address, so I thought about it a *long* time and
tried to remember who lives in M and then I thought.... oh yeah!
Now I know.

I'm beginning to think that the problem is my STM, which now stands
at about 32K.  But I have *pictures* of you so I *know* who you are.

I'm in a lab on a Macintosh because I need to get something from Ra for
somebody on a Mac disk.  It took me forever to figure out how to turn this
stupid machine on.  Finally found that the off/on switch is a keyboard key.
Now it has occurred to me that I haven't the foggiest idea how to download
anything.  (I did figure out how to format the disk.  That's a start.)
I guess maybe I should look at some of the silly pictures and see if I can
find one that looks like a file moving from a Sun to a Mac disk. :-)
That reminds me -- the lab employee couldn't find the off/on switch either,
so she suggested that I use one of the Sun workstations instead -- this was
after I had said that I knew nothing about Macs but had to use one because
I had to get something on a Mac-formatted disk...
