And the "graduation address" that made its way around the Internet as being by Kurt Vonnegut was attributed and dated, too. It just happened to be fiction, and have nothing whatsoever to do with Vonnegut. As I said, the only way to really tell when deal- ing with the Dalai Lama is to submit a query to Tibet House.
