Subject: sneaking someone into the bedroom

a colleague wants to know: does anyone know of stories in which a wife
sneaks someone else into bed with her husband instead of herself,
because she is barren or for any other reason and suceceeds in fooling
him? thanks

Subject: ANY NERDS KNOWN IN AMERICAN LITERATURE?

A Danish colleague here at the U of Minnesota wonders if any HUMANETS
(?) have ideas on the first literary representation of a nerd. He is
astounded at Americans' negative reaction to nerdiness (which he sees as
more bookishness), and would like to find out if there are some classic
American nerds in literature. Obviously he is not interested only in
nerds by that name, but any nerds will do. Ideas?

Subject: NY Times on E-Mail

Just to prove the power of E-mail wouldn't it be nice if all members of
Humanist wrote a brief letter to the NY Times immediately to tell them
about this marvelous list-server. Imagine the impact of such a network
of correspondents.
