Willard,
Some subscribers to Humanist may already enjoy tuning in to the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation's radio program As It Happens. If so they may
concur that the shows related to the following URL
http://radio.cbc.ca/programs/asithappens/apostrophe/index.html were
entertaining and educational. The CBC aired a series of letters between
the members of the American Apostrophe Association, and the lawyer for the
Albertsons grocery store chain. Unfortunately the site only reproduces
scans of the correspondance and not the recordings of their being read
aloud on air. Nevertheless, silent reading does allow one to savour some
of the rhetorical finesse that remind one why Viriginia Woolf was so fond
of the letters of Walpole.
Enjoy.
