Last week I finished Sophie Wilkins translation of Robert Musil's book, "The Man Without Qualities." It was published on the eastern seaboard of the United States by Alfred Knopf in New York in 1994. I'm thinking of citing a statement by the character Clarisse on page 1061 of the second volume.

I may refer to an editorial cartoon, copyright 1976 by Eduardo del Rio, who calls himself Rius. I found the cartoon in a book called La trukulenta historia del kapitalismo in the thirteenth edition, published in 1988 by a company called Editorial Posada, which gives its address as La Otra Banda No. 74 in Col. Tizapan San Angel, Deleg. Alvaro Obregon, CP 01090, Mexico, DF, which I know is located in Mexico City, Mexico.

On the one hundred eighty-fourth page of the first volume of the Collected Poems of William Carlos Williams, I found a poem called The Pot of Flowers which was originally collected in 1923 in his book Spring and All. Williams himself owns the copyright. I can't find the original publisher of Spring and All, but my edition of C.P. was put out in New York, like so many things, by an establishment called New Directions, and it was edited by A. Walton Litz and Christopher MacGowan. The collection was first published in 1986, and my edition is the first paperback edition, published in 1991. Robert Pinsky reviewed the book well, writing for the New York Times Book Review in 1991.

Last night I accessed an online literary journal at http://www.chapman.edu/comm/english/onyx/. I found a strange story with pictures called the blue door. The exact address was

Other information elsewhere on the site lists a Joe Bryon as the sole author of the text. No translator or editor is mentioned, though the site lists itself as having been edited "under the direction of" someone named Pamela Ezell, who is listed as the pro-tem director of a creative writing program at a Chapman University. No specific date is given for the publication of the issue in question. Accessing the site at www.chapman.edu/, I found information that the university itself is in Orange, California.

Tony Cohan reads his book On Mexican Time in three cassettes published by Random House in New York, New York in May of 2000. Random House sells its audiobooks at www.randomhouse.com/audio. The audio version was abridged with the author's approval from a print version published in the same year and available from Broadway Books, also in New York.

While watching a PBS video last Sunday, I was surprised to hear yet another relevant comment. The video series is called Secrets of the Ocean Realm, and the comment was made during a section entitled Filming Secrets. It was produced by Howard Hall Productions and directed by Howard Hall himself. It lasts sixty minutes and has been published on Time Warner Home Video in New York City. I checked it out of the Santa Ana Library last week, but I can't seem to find an author of text, an editor, or a publication date anywhere on this worn and water-damaged package.

A Website I checked out referred to an old national geographic, and I looked up the article in question in Volume 188, No. 2, published in August of 1995 by the National Geographic Society in Washington DC. The article was titled The African Roots of Voodoo, lists Angela Fisher and Carol Beckwith as both authors and photographers, though I suspect they must have divided the labor somehow.
