Subject: Toshiba Security
I checked my Toshiba 5200 manual, and there is no provision mentioned
for using a password to protect the system. There may be supplementary
software, but it isn't part of the system.

Subject: Multiculturalism and Bossuet
Someone in a recent posting about multiculturalism made mention of
Bossuet and attributed to him the "Defense et illustration de la langue
francaise" -- the first tract defining what a national linguistic policy
should be. The true author is of course Joachim du Bellay who was
writing one century before Bossuet. The interesting point about it
though is that Du Bellay was himself adapting for the most part an
earlier italian work that had tried to do for italian what he himself
wanted for the french language. Which tends to prove that nationalism
itself could not exist without multiculturalism. This (if I may
speculate) might be what makes the difference between nationalism and
particularism -- the problem being how to keep cultural nationalism from
forgetting its fundamentally paradoxical essence or from turning it into
a weapon (as happened when German nationalism espoused the notion in the
19th c. that it was the true heir to Greek culture, with well-known
consequences in the 20th c.)...

While I missed the original question I'll comment upon a perhaps related
issue. Henry Rack in discussing 18th century England, in his recent
book, *Reasonable Enthusiast*, which is a new biography of John and
Charles Wesley, notes that weekly communion was not the norm (this is
irregardless of any legislation). He notes that the practice started in
the 19th century. I do not have the text with me, but he cites several
sources.
