Dear Bea - I've been wading through a pile of "Due before 3" mimeos - but now at last I know what to do with them: into the wastebasket! I'm also hep to the jargon.

That if you could eat or sleep enough, you'd never need more.

That you could ever be smart enough.
That you could someday get enough sex.
