**Gene is absolutely right -- but April 22 is Lenin's birthday as well,
so, understandably, VN would rather celebrate it with Shakespeare...
Regardless, it will be soon April 23 in Russia, anyway, so I do believe we
are fully justified if we want to commence the celebration with Tom's
splendid toast! GD**

from Tom Bolt <bolt@tbolt.com>

I propose a toast to
discovery as a process...

To the wonderful books we've read
- and the ones we haven't that
are waiting for us *inside* the
ones we have.

That is, three cheers for VN
...and for re-reading!

Happy 100th!
