In addition of the french 'et patati et patata' equivalent to da Dah da Dah
quoted by Michel Lenoble, there are several other equivalents used in french,
at least here in Belgium. I can't resist to add to the collection:
- 'bla - bla - bla' (shorter than the english 'blah - blah')
- 'et ta - ta -... ta' is also used, though not as frequently
- 'et tchic et tchac' is commonly used by walloon poeple
- I also sometimes hear 'etcaeteri, etcaetera'

Re Icelandic Sagas:
PBS' *History of the English Language* series has an entertaining
section on the misc. Scandinavians in England-- two men horse-trading.
The commentary compares the sounds and similarities of the different
Scandinavian languages at the time, and, if I recall correctly, also
has some dialogue in them. Not sagas, but still linguistically interesting.

Subject: holocaust / Frankl
David Schaps' posting on the holocaust and his mention of Viktor Frankl
led me to this posting:
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning: An Introduction to Logotherapy
(NY: Pocket Books, 1980). Also available elsewhere. It's a remarkable
book by a survivor whose experiences aided in the development of an inter-
esting new tool for psychotherapy.
For those interested in learning about the holocaust, there is a good,
non-scholarly (but still good) bibliography: The Holocaust in Books and
Films. A Selected, Annotated List. International Center for Holocaust
Studies. Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith. 3d ed. (NY: Hippocrene
Books, 1986; ISBN 0-87052-292-2). It is not exhaustive (you can get a
more exhaustive bibliography on the network), but it is useful.
