	Yes, yes Malcolm. I understand. It's the same as my friend
talking about looking at AIDS without sentimentality - you can do it but
it loses a lot of heart and it still doesn't make the pain go away. 
	That's why I said "a small stone" and not a great big rock - ie
the symbolism without the pain.
	And you know Malcolm, I never thought Seymour threw it because
of perfection, it was a surfeit of emotion for me.
