Mr Kohut, you certainly don't know your Brits, or 51st staters as we prefer to think of ourselves here in this provincial outpost. The definitive book on animal rights, the one which established this philosophically dubious notion in the first place, was written by a Brit, if memory serves. The book is still read all over the world and used by heroic crusaders to justify their campaign tactics, such as putting bombs under people's cars etc. The author of the book finds such activities very disturbing. He was on TV a few weeks ago to say so. Wish I could remember his name. We Brits are also generally known as the world's greatest animal lovers. You should see the tabloid outcry when some journo discovers a poor sad donkey which some lousy foireigner intends to sell to a pet food factory etc. This was a real example; the tabloid in question raised loads of money from its tearful readers to buy the donkey in question and set him up in a nice field somewhere to live out his days sipping cocktails and attended by gorgeous pouting Page 3 stunnas. Or something. The current Foot & Mouth Disease outbreak must have these poor animal-loving souls in torment. Film on the news every day of cows burning on pyres etc. How my heart goes out to them. Perhaps they will decide to picket the incineration sites. After all, this kind of discrimination against infected quadrupeds must put them in mind of Nazi death camps. As a born and bred Brit I consider myself an animal lover. I rejoice in visiting wildlife reserves, bird sanctuaries etc., and in the occasional sighting of a wild urban fox in my own back yard. But I regret that my elected government has decided to ban hunting with hounds. It puts me in mind of the Puritan regime that banned Christmas in the 17th century. I'm sure most fox-hunters love their pets and many have livestock that they look after and respect. It's a complicated world, complex issue.

I just went through the relevant parts of _Stranger Than Fiction_ to be sure, but there is no mention of Phil Manzanera being at Sacred Heart with Eddie Rayner, et. al. They meet Manzanera & Co. in Australia in 1975. Are you thinking of Phil Judd, perhaps?.
