Thanks--I looked up hermeneutics, but still couldn't figure it out--although I think I *used* to know what it meant when I was editing religious publications.

From what you write and the way you write, I think you might enjoy "I Am Charlotte Simmons"--T. Wolfe, and a movie called "Great Water" filmed in Macedonia.

[Cicero]

To tell the truth, I have enjoyed all of Tom Wolfe's earlier work, way back to The Candy Colored Tangerine Striped Baby and Maumauing the Flak Catchers, but I don't know if I have the heart to read "I Am Charlotte Simmons." I've seen enough of it first hand, and it's very sad.
