But she will be remembered. BD I understand your comments and appreciate your view. Susan Sontag never played a part in my life -- she was just another of those folks that the media loved to praise. I never found her writings of much worth and, frankly, most of her essays are simply boring. But, nil nisi bonum mortuis, and she does deserve her place in the intellectual pantheon of US culture, such as it is. Marc msmall@infionline.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
