An aftertought: Looked up Ezra Pound's Usura Canto. Got 800 plus  
hits, found one that included about 20 lines, don't think any will  
have given the entire Canto. 131 years after his birth, Pound is  
harder and more expensive to get at in the original words than Peter  
Dale Scott.  I think the present copyright law (I speak as a writer  
of sorts) militates against learning and truth, and think EP would  
say so too. Talk about hogging the harvest and failing to distrbute a  
social dividend! Greed indeed rules our mammonite world. Tom White
