   Well, y'know, the stuff about how what you're doing is "moving chi 
around", "chi" being supposedly this invisible energy stuff which emanates 
from your stomach and has the power to do all kinds of mysterious stuff.  
And many other such skiffy propositions.
   Translation for skeptics: it's not the meat, it's the motion. :-)

>(And can we run your Winograd paper or an extended precis in the Journal?)

   Hmm.  Yeah, I suppose I could give you a precis (doubt you want to run 
the whole thing, all 20+ pages!).  By the way, Tom, am I actually like 
*subscribed* to AD Journal now? Will I receive more issues? (I hope so!) 
And how are you paying to print the thing? And what program(s) are you 
using to lay it out?
