Hello, I've actually been on the list for a few weeks now, but a good chunk of that time was taken up by a trip out-of-town, preparations and recovery from that trip so I am just now getting around to sending a first message. Instead of an introduction, I'll just point to a personal web page at <http://acm.vt.edu/~yousten> and get on with the Continental Op question. Remember in _Red Harvest_ when the Op is at Dinah Brand's house, sleeping and having laudanum-enhanced dreams? "I asked her if she knew a man named Carroll T. Harris" and all that. I never felt like I had a very good handle on what that all meant. Could you people give me some thoughts? - # RARA-AVIS: To unsubscribe, say "unsubscribe rara-avis" # to majordomo@icomm.ca
