	When I started to read Mattis's reply on `phoniness', 
	I had a terrible, if momentary, feeling of unreality. Was 
	it possible ? Could I have written this myself & somehow 
	forgotten ?

	The beautifully indented paragraphs, the paragraphs 
	themselves not too long, the cogency of the thinking, 
	the lucidity of 	the prose.  (Though I think he calls himself 
	Hochman, actually.)

	Congratulations, Mattis, you've scored full 96 on the 
	Bowman 	Limpidity Index.  How I wish a few others would 
	emulate as splendidly as you have the done the example 
	I try ever so patiently to set.
