Also -- it is good to keep in mind in maillist debates that an e-mail post (or even a number of them) cannot always or usually get in all the qualifications, expansions, et cetera which a developed journal article would include. This is particularly true in respect to the PNTR debate. Conspiracy theories, money/kleptocracy vs. capitalist social relations, fascism/parliamentary democracy do have direct relevance to the discussion of the *Cantos*. Development of the PNTR debate would, I believe, take us very far afield. Carrol Cox
