will change. Had Clinton been just a little bit better, a little less
dishonest, a little better liked, it could have been a huge landslide on the

There was also a highly obscure book called Blood: Gift or Merchandise, by
Piet J. Hagen, published by Alan R. Liss, Inc., in 1982. The only reason I
know about it is because I used to work for the publisher. Though old,
there's a chapter

I'm forwarding a portion of a message from Greg Ulmer (a post-modernist if
