Be advised: It's kind of spooky.

Whenever you have time for it. I think it took me 15-20 minutes to read it, not counting the time I had to spend telling the NYer I did not want a subscription.

I think I'll wait a few days and go back and listen to it.

What really happened is hard to get a handle on. So I do think it's worth reading/listening to again.

Thanks for following through. I really was wanting to get someone else's take on it. Louise, once again, does a terrific job.
