Mike,

thanks for your sends. they remind me of when a student complained to
me, in Rome, that a woman had been peering over his shoulder when he
was filling in some forms, and said, "You'd think there was no
concept of privacy in Italy." Failing to find a word for it in
Italian (and later in French), I assured him there wasn't!

Bon weekend,

Ken
