When Norman Mailer's Harlot's Ghost was published it contained a grammatical error in the first sentence (and one can only imagine how many human minds proof-read the thing before it went to press): Here it is: "On a late-winter evening in 1983, while driving through the fog along the Maine coast, recollections of old campfires began to drift into the March mist, and I thought of the Abnaki Indians of the Algonquin tribe who dwelt near Bangor a thousand years ago." The error was subsequently corrected. So take heart. -- Bah, the latest news, the latest news is not the last. Samuel Beckett
