• Certainly it is fun to read. Reviewing it would be more fun if space did not limit my reacting more fully to all of its riches. This is wealth in Simon's broad-ranging erudition, in his challeging yet common-sense based opinions about our field. and in his clear a (appropriately) personalized writing style.
