What???  Of course you need to have some understanding of people in
order to communicate with them!!!!  How can you communicate with
something you don't understand at all?  You can't!

Well maybe bashing windows could be art, if it was meant to communicate
something to someone, rather than just to break windows....

I did!

I dunno which one is the September issue, but in either the August or
September issue there was a little tiny review of RUTH.  (I already sent
the text of the review to Love-Hounds.)  If there is anything else, I
don't know about it, but I'll look into it.
