	Begin Gelles observation:

	Please don't do it, Jamie. Treat this as an intelligence item
	in the midst of war:  You can't decode the paper -- but you
	can read the discussion in the clear. Give the discussion
	a start, infer the paper's points, and jump feet first
	into the argument. I'm posting something today, after I
	write it off line, on technology driven economic growth,
	a subject that may have been cause for a recent Nobel
	prize. Evidently, endogenous growth has something to
	do with an escape from classical ideas on capital formation
	to account for something:  Could it be the type of growth
	seen in Korea, Taiwan, Singapore ?  Could it be how
	Bill Gates came to be worth ten billion dollars on
	paper?  I hope the seminar commentary will tell me.

        Oh, well. How much will be lost if we with 286
	desktops read the paper in plain text?  A few graphics
	attempts to imitate spoken words and compose equations
	as though you had a blackboard instead of a typewriter.
	I say, someone ought to put the paper out in plain
	text with a few annotations to tell us how to give it
	the emphasis lost thereby.
