Let's hope that more English majors catch up with you. Hey, the protagonist of <em>The Solomon Scandals</em> is an E major---and I don't mean "electronic." Thanks for writing in!

They were cheaper -- if not free, being the public domain -- and often times I found myself liking them better than the paper version my prof had selected. (That was especially the case with Johann von Goethe's "Faust.") So make that 112 English majors. ;) All the best, H.

So make that 112 English majors. ;)
