C'mon. let's  not get into another endless argument over PC; reading a
text can never be that simplistic. Look: Kyle has  his reading; you have
yours; and I have my own. None of our readings is the right one; they are
merely *different*, and frankly Kyle sheds an interesting light on
_Philadelphia_--one that I would seriously consider, and no doubt draw
from, if I wrote an extended analysis of _Philadelphia_.
