George:
I'm reading the memoirs of David Dubal about Vladimir Horowitz.
It's called "Evenings With Horowitz."
Luckily they just stick to the music.
...and yes, it's great!

Just returned from a trip to Richmond, VA - great place for Civil War history (as you likely already know) - the famous 'ruins' of the Tredegar Iron Works is now the 'Visitor's Center' for the Richmond battlefields (includes both the '62 & '64 campaigns in the area); there is also a new 'commercial' exhibit museum that is quite good. Also, just finished Gary Gallagher's superb lecture series (on DVD) from the Teaching Company - outstanding. Dave :D

Lucrece "De La Nature"
I cant give you an english/latin equivalent to the author's name, nor to the title; i cant really speak english, and i know nothing about latin. Those of you who are familiar with antique Greek/Roman philosophy probably know who he is/was. Maybe Lucrecius "Of Nature"?!!
I like it. He has a very poetic, deep and elegant way of speaking about Nature.
Those ancient spirits! ::)
