I've read them all twice within the last 3 years, and I remember no such
statement; in fact its completely new to me. Of course that's the
wonderful thing about having a bad memory. I can reread mystery novels a

BTW: Given a choice between reading Shakespere and Churchill, I'll take
Churchill any day of the week. :-)
