Happy birthday, John!--and thanks to you and Scottie for info and 
useful clarifications.  Another question:  What, according to DSM-IV,
are symptoms connected with "borderline personality disorder" (which I
assume  can be referred to as BPD)?--Is this another way of talking
about what used to be called "schizophrenia"--which Deleuze and Gattari,
once upon a time, told us was really not all that bad a thing to come
down with?  
	Am caught up with this as I have to give short talk on "Madness in
American Literature" at meeting of Kyushu American Literature Society
meeting next month--my brief being American postwar
fiction/drama/poetry,  where I'm beginning to feel we  get nothing
but.   Am wondering though whether term "madness" has any currency
within psychiatry/psychology today.
