	Yes, Ted, I know the difference between Mike and Edie.  Mike =
Tarzan; Edie = Jane.  Mike was in the Hole when I asked about Churchill and
he pulled a copy right off the shelf for me.  Teaching point:  The Hole is a
family owned store that gives great service.  I remember seeing you at the
Hole humping boxes.

"The owner"?  Michael Nally hasn't been in that store for years.  (He did
hang out at his other store in Manassas, Cosmic Books, but closed that
store this summer and moved all its stock to a building he erected on his
property out in rural Warrenton.)  Perhaps you are thinking of his wife,
Edie, who now runs the Hole, but is not there every day of the week.

For what it's worth, Michael Nally and I are old and close friends.  We met
at the 1971 Disclave.
