It will probably come out as a book, or part of one, soon, as all McPhee's work does. An excellent article and most interesting. He did not mention some of the things noted in the base posting; if the articles are expanded into a book, I hope he includes more on Swiss life in general. (McPhee is probably my favorite author, by the way. He makes ANYTHING interesting. I hate sports, but enjoyed reading his biography of Arthur Ashe, the tennis player, for example.) Will
