        I hate to ask... and I hate to take-up valuable disk space...
but, it's Friday afternoon...
        What the hell are "raddichio and Pellegrino" ?  Other lettuce?
Other greens?  A Dario Fo play?  I'm going camping this week-end.  Does
this stuff grow in central Massachusetts?

        By the way (BTW!), my reading for the weekend is Trotsky's
longish introduction to a mass-produced, out of print paperback called:  The
Living Thoughts of Karl Marx.  In the intro. he analyzes the
Depression of the 1930's in the U.S. .  Anyone ever read it?
