"You read Don Q in the 5th grade?"

Yes.

"A severely compressed version that must have been."

No. I got it out of the adult section of the library. Well, actually, I went in the adult section, wrote down what I wanted and had my dad check them out for me. The library ladies were a pain. I used to spend Saturdays in the library. Nice and quiet place. Except when they caught me browsing the shelves and forced me upstairs in the kiddy section. I stopped reading those kinds of books years earlier.

I mentioned Red Giants and White Dwarfs earlier. I got that for Christmas that year, first edition. I still have it. My Mom had seen Dr. Jastrow on Johnny Carson and thought I might like it. It is a little dated, cosmology has changed since the late 1960s.

"Anybody making claims to that is a fraud."

You are a funny, funny man. You don't know what you think you know.
