I agree with that choice.
I think the world has begun to acknowledge River, which keeps on popping up. I think BMT has potential. It has it all, except the sugar pop accessability that seems so in demand these days. In the old days, it might have been a shoe in. Universality seems to be another necessary characteristic. That might leave Amelia out. I wish Hejira would get more attention, as well as Blue. They both have that universality to them. Of course, The Circle Game has it, and I would put it on my list before Chelsea Morning.
