Here David's trademark understatement reaches a sort of apogee. alluding to the most famous quotation from the year in question.  What did Aesculapius do with that cock?

And, was the Earl Grey who spoke of the "year the lights went out all over Europe" the same one who's associated with the tea?

And, can he fill us in on the Izzy Stone event at Princeton?  (Stone's parents ran a Mom and Pop store two blocks from our current residence in NJ; two blocks in a distinctly other direction is the ancestral residence of the Driscolls--one of whom, as governor, catapulted Moses Finley to stardom by firing him at Rutgers.)
