It will take more time to track them all down. If I can get a word in edgewise with Paul this day, which hasn't occurred yet, I know he can provide case titles to a number of these. Sorry things have been so chaotic here. Nothing new, just worse than usual. Love, Ma Kettle P.S. Can you put your hands readily on the report from the Wingspread Conference in Wisconsin? I can't find the damn thing and have a doctor panting for it. P.P.S. Did you know Paul's already been in Esquire magazine? Honest! Albeit anonymously, he won three separate mentions in their Dubious Honor of the Year issue (something like that) for his non-lawsuit and recovery against J.C. Penney for causing a non-removable "Inspected by No. 12" sticker to be affixed to his penis. Remember? DiQX_in__dam_a_ge__awards and settlements (preliminary list) 1.
