Ach -- this was badly mangled by me: "Please tell us what your word is for those portions that are NOT fictional to any degree."
It was in response to William's: > "there are numerous factual histories of the American Revolution". . . each > one is fictional to some degree" > I would have been closer to something acceptable if I'd said this: Please tell us what your word is for the degrees of those histories that are NOT fictional. Perhaps I can convey part of what bothers by asking: What part of the following statement would you say is fictional? And, given that almost no one else would that say any part of it is fiction, why do you feel your position is preferable to theirs?: "Paul Newman is dead." ************** New year...new news.
