comrade Ayers, As your compatriots say, I love it when a plan comes together. 50 years of dedicated work, along dark, seemingly obscure paths, superficially un-related to our long term objectives, toiling quietly, putting on the clown mask occasionally, the Mona Lisa smile mostly, and the bare teeth oh ever so rarely. You, who, let’s face it, are a man of tremendous ego (and what historical shaper of mankind is
