A surprisingly good essay and a surprisingly good book.

Last week at church, one of the attendees read "The Elephant's Child" 
and we were all greatly amused. It _is_ a funny story.

Kipling's _Epitaphs on the War_ are not be be sneezed at, either. They 
ain't Owen, but they're not chopped liver, either.

All the best,
