Thanks for the link, Maurice.

Just to let you folks know, I spent the better part of last Saturday 
afternoon interviewing Quine. It went really well, and he let out alot of 
stuff he'd never talked about in previous interviews. Alot of good info on

Once I'm done transcribing the three 90 minute tapes, I'll post it up online 
for y'all.
