It's probably impossible to fully disentangle "Medievalists in the late 1960's and early 1970's America" from "People who read and loved Tolkien in late 1960's and early 1970's America".

Helping cure HIV, for example. It's an early case, and it sure as hell wasn't overnight, but here is a very early report.

Happy Thanksgiving, everbuddeh.

[Edited to add: Thanks everybody who wished me well and/or expressed confidence about the GRE. Verbal: 730, Math: 800. Done good.]

Suggestions? Especially from anyone who has been involved in such hijinx?
