That's OK ... I had an unfair advantage of having online access to
stuff so that I don't have to retype it! If it had required me to
type, I'd still be at it!

BTW, the Grunwald book is good, and it contains the Life article
(sans pictures) by Havemann.

I had a chance to do a favor for Ambassador Grunwald last year, and
in return he signed my copy; he seemed surprised that someone had it
and cherished it! So it's totally inaccessible to me. It's with the
other valuables.
