It basically means that the e-mail I sent out to a student last June was just read by that student yesterday. Hmmm...

Thanks, Michael--actually, I have seen that article before. I wrote to Keelung Hung, asking if he had more information, but haven't heard from him yet. I *do* know, however, that according to WorldCat, there are only 228 copies of Oysters in U.S. libraries. (An ironic figure.)

BTW, you missed a great play last Friday! Wish we had a bigger theater, though...
