Michael Banks of Nelson, New Zealand may have missed the final phrase from =
his
Platonic quotation. We were always given to understand that =
=22=85=85=85teachers who
couldn=92t teach taught teachers.=22

Cynic though I may be, professional experience tells me that I would draw =
the
line before accepting that generalisation.

Waiting for surface mail of the latest issue of CM to find out what all the =
fuss
is about, and wondering, Which Emperor? And What Style Apparel?
