R. Paul, who loves Paris, writes: "in geography a clear distinction [is known to 'exist'] between Paris and Buenos Aires." -- Yes, that is as it might be, but remember cities -- sorry in my previous post I took 'distinction' to mean 'distance' -- are broad things (and so is Paris). And recall 'puzzling Pierre': He _knows_ London is beautiful ("Londres est jolie") And he _knows_ London is also ugly ("London is ugly"). (Example by (c) courtesy of Tyler Burge). McEvoy, who _knows_ should be able to *decide* (and maybe try convince us). Cheers, JL **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
