Totally agree with Bruce B. And you, charmed bibliomane that you are, must relish the reproduction of the penultimate portrait as the cover for The New York Review of Books' republication of Darcy O'Brien's "A Way of Life, Like Any Other" (and why has not our Daniel, reviewed this for us yet?), with introducton by Seamus Heaney, no less, and containing the immortally useful line within, "Well, you just fell in love with the wrong Princetonian."
If the hammer you direct with this page, should ever by virtue of some sudden atmospheric intervention miss the nail of its intended consolation, I offer my head in cheerful substitution, and in anticipation of its improvement.
