I stopped reading Keller a long time ago.

Your link to his column did not work for me. His link to his wife’s piece in the Guardian does work, but the article has been withdrawn with the agreement of the subject because it does not confirm to Guardian standards.

Thanks to you, I did read Keller’s column, made me shudder, thanks again.

By the way, what editor do you use to compose and publish your posts?

I saw Goodwin on TV recently talking about her new book, and she was very condescending toward ordinary folks. I will try to find the show, I may have recorded it. If I did, I must explain why I did. I was looking for a juicy quotation to use and I think it is in that interview. There was once a time when I could remember all the details about such things, but no longer. Those days ceased last year, or was it the year before, or was it last century, or this morning–I forget which.
