Hello Larry - thanks for the 2 pieces of very interesting information. Regarding Pandit Ravi Shankar, if memory serves, I saw a father-daughter team of sitar musicans piece featured on 60Minutes awhile back, not sure they are the same pair. I don't know much about Indian culture, except it does have profound influence upon other ancient cultures like that of the Chinese, but I don't know if the classical indian logistic construct is the same as the aristotlean syllogism, so your comment "as long as young people are not anti-classical and preserve our tradition". [is there something tautological there??] may or may not be valid. Case in point, more than 1500 years before the Kantian antimonies, Arya Nagarjuna has postulated 1) exist 2) not exist 3) both exist and not exist 4) neither exist nor not exist And because of Madhyamika, everything is possible {Parmenides and Heraclitus, eat your heart out <VBSG>!] But I digress <sg>! Back to the Pandit, I am quite surprise he thinks CD and internet can replace a living and breathing guru. He must be a reborn hindu [wonder he is for Jesus too <VBG>!] Seriously, I don't have a single musical bone in my body - maybe that's why I go for pseudo musical excitement like THX and surround sound <g> - but why would there be a Beethoven if there were a Mozart already? Anyway, back to the "rubber barrons" <embarrassed grin> [if Carter Wallace gets wind of that, we are in big trouble <G>] I will check to see if I can get it from the Library, but I ve not read any book for so long... Well, I guess it depends on one's perspective of robber barons, including those "medieval ribber burrons" <G>. Knowing the libertinian tendency in you [and probably in most of us,] certainly they deserve kudos to go against the Great Leviathan. However, even if paranoid has real enemy, their tactics to destroy business minorities make them the same bullies just the same. Of course, this is a gross generalisation, which I am against <G>. If this is their complaint, then they are no difference between the pilots from the Allied Pilot Union or the pro players on NBA. Speaking of SK and Taiwan, I know very little. You are the expert in SK in ways more than one. However, the Taiwan situation is much more than Chiang Kai Shek and his son Chiang King Kuo. Madam Chiang is Sung Mei Ling. Her elder sister was married to the Father of Modern China, Sun Yat San. There is a book called the "Sung Dynasty" which chronicle the family [it was a force even in WS back in the early part of the 20th C] Btw, while China has been cramming down on Taiwan-Independence [TI], Taiwanese govt was cramming down on taiwanese-independence [as recent as the late 70s.] So, Taiwan is no stranger [in its modern history] to oppression and corruption. Finally, between Klein and Gates, I will choose neither <G>. To quote Mao Zao Tung, "even you and I will look ridiculous after a hundred years." enough random access <g> best, Bosco
