   Maybe I should (I haven't been doing that) - it would give me an extra excuse   
   to put extra space at the bottom, which has suddenly become necessary in the   
   last month or so, if one wants to make a whole post legible!   
      
   I assume it has to do with Google Groups?   
      
   Btw, in his book "The Celluloid Closet," Vito Russo mentioned "Advise and   
   Consent" on six pages. (Only three of those six pages are truly pertinent,   
   IIRC.)
