Hi, Ivan:<br /><br />Great to see you back!<br /><br />I read Spinoza years ago, one of my heroes. I remember&nbsp;F. Scott Fitzgerald referring&nbsp;to Spinoza&nbsp;in one of this essays: "Baby et up all her Spinoza." Here's the link:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/f-scott-fitzgerald-essay-the-crack-up/1028/">http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/f-scott-fitzgerald-essay-the-crack-up/1028/<br /><br /></a>The line occurs towards the end. If you have time, read the whole essay. It changed&nbsp;my life, many, many&nbsp;years ago.<br /><br />Anyway, &nbsp;yours is a fine bit of dialogue. I made a couple of changes -- nothing significant -- just to do with flow.<br /><br /> I expect you're looking forward to the spring, in Boston. We'll be about two weeks behind you.<br /><br />Best wishes - George&nbsp;
