anything is possible. We could psychoanalyze him find out. Or maybe it was those horrible carbuncles. But wasn't Marx sick a during those 17 years? or involved in politics and/or journalism? Note that he was also something of a perfectionist in his writing and didn't finish most of his books so that we read unfinished books published only after his death. -- Jim Devine / "Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business." -- Tom Robbins _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
