 For what it's worth:  The questions about history curriculum
 recommendations, which you cited in your reply, were asked in
 response to Johnson's gibe "at the low level of the knowledge
 base of the participants here regarding classical texts or
 recent history."  By _recent history_, we think he's referring
 to Roosevelt and Churchill's "Four Freedoms" program, though
 he could be talking about the history of Fleetwood Mac.


 FM> The name of this echo IS still PHIL (for Philosophy) isn't it?

 Yes, Frank.  This is the Philosophy echo.

 But what's in a name?
