Thanks.  I actually did a search on classical.net but not in the list
archives, not realizing that those search engines did not speak to one
another.  Either I missed or wasn't struck by the comments at the time.
I read the book recently on the strong recommendation of a friend and I
would be happy to discuss it off-list with anyone who has read it.
