Thank you Charles. I will look into Nancy Fulsom's book.

I couldn't help thinking about the quote at the end of your email about peoples' self importance causing so much harm. The current US foreign policy in the Middle East follows that pattern. If you look over the last 50 years, I would suggest that the figure should be 90% instead of the 50% figure in the quote.

Thank again for your reply, I will try your suggestions and get a copy of Nancy's Book.
