	`...believe it or not,' writes Will, `I'm not the least bit 
	horrified if my "section man" work amounts to more intelligence...'

	`Vairy interessing...' (as Camille incorrectly attributes to 
	Boris Karloff.)  Adjusting my wire rimmed specs & laying aside 
	the cigar for a moment, I examine that tell-tale: `amounts to more 
	intelligence...' 

	Amounts to....amounts to...  Something of a paraphrasis, 
	I suspect.  Is that a condensation of `adds to the amount 
	of intelligent understanding available to the generality' or 
	does zee patient write `amounts to' meaning - half consciously - 
	`that indicates the essence of things....' as in: `what that amounts 
	to, buddy, is one helluva big brain...' or, `that don't amount to 
	a hillabeans....' ?
