For all of Carrol's endless harrumphing, he manages to impart more odd bits 
of personal info than anyone I've encountered in cyberspace.  Over the years 
I have learned that Carrol: (a) was in USAF intelligence and spent his time 
intercepting Czech border patrol communications; (b) enjoys picking 
raspberries; (c) reads Das Kapital while on his exercise bike; (d) prefers 
Allen Edmonds shoes; and (e) spent his career elucidating arguably the two 
dreariest writers ever to put pen to paper, Milton and Pound.  That's a 
quite a bit of Cox-iana to amass without trying!
