Notes & Asides.
--Dear Bill: The longstanding mystery of how to parse He is risen has been resolved. The problem has been that it is Greek to you (and me), in which language an aorist tense can communicate a "completed past event that is not to be repeated." As we know, a passive verb may be intransitive in force, as in "he arose," or carry the purely passive tense, as in "he was raised." All such representations are theologically correct, but tradition is with the Greek.
Res ipsa loquitur,

--Dear Mr. Buckley: The dialogue between you and Dr. Gilleran (May 28) about the cost of half a torpedo stopped too soon. It all started the day David Wilson showed up in Dawson's Landing, and remarked of an annoying dog, "I wish I owned half of that dog." "Why?" somebody asked. "Because I would kill my half."
Mark Twain tells us the townsfolk were in perfect agreement about this concept of half a dog: ". . . the man ain't in his right mind." "In my opinion he hain't got any mind." No. 3 said: "Well, he's a lummox, anyway." No. 6 said: "If he ain't a pudd'n'head, I ain't no judge, that's all." This sobriquet held for 20 years-but Pudd'n'head Wilson himself ought to be more kindly remembered.
Fondly,
