I'm wondering whether they properly handled the copyright status of some of those (silly) texts. While it is somewhat nice of you (in regards to them) to say what you did, it is possible that they lost their copyrights decades ago by printing them (even internally) without the (then) appropriate "circle-C" copyright notice. Chances are good that none of this material could survive a genuine copyright test case today. Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
