Agreed. The ideal situation would be to have all 4 essays printed in all
4 languages, but there would probably be space considerations preventing
this. (The REALLY ideal situation would be 4 separate booklets, each
having the 4 essays translated into the language of the country and
distributed in that country - but I realize that I am harkening back
to those idyllc days when recording companies cared enough about their
product and market to provide this kind of service. Ah, well...)
