During Scottie's ill-advised bathroom break at the Davy Byrne's Bananafish Summit last December, I tried (half-heartedly, and from underneath a considerable mass of guilt at that) asking his wife Hazel about those books. I don't recall her response, exactly, but I do remember that my innocent pretenses quickly crumbled, revealing the glaring/hideous/etc enormity of my intentions. I tried bribery; Helena tried forceful extraction. No luck. -- Matt Kozusko mkozusko@parallel.park.uga.edu
