Hi, I think we should get back to reading Sein und Zeit again, say the pages
3-6.  I know this is a difficult time, and the war is v distracting, but I
took time today to watch 'The Hours' and to swim.  I urge you all to now
read poetry and listen to beautiful music, and get these images of
destruction to the margins of existence.
all best wishes,
Paul Murphy
