Dear Don,
Jansy: With pleasure (but no affiliation with Amnesty International please).
Much more serious: Who is the abominable Big Brother censoring your post on Chansons de Bilitis and Ada? One glimpse of JJ's breast has led to this? [If this letter, too, is expurgated, the prohibited word has a synonym:"boob"*. So do the censors.]
Thirdly, Pivot/VN: I don't have it on DVD, but I do have a SECAM VHS cassette sent directly by French TV, as well as one in PAL recorded from my cable. If you don't have a multi-standard TV, either can be converted to NTSC at home with the right equipment, or at your friendly local TV station, or commercially at no great cost.
Best, DN

* Editor's remark: "bosom" (the euphemism that DN complains of) has the advantage of being bisexual and, hence, "politically (and anatomically) correct." NB all three words that come (?) to mind, start with a very labial "B," as in "Bilitis."
