Bruce,

I actually agree. It's been awhile since I read it in totality and remember the middle being a little slow - but if there's an interest the whole thing is best.

Well, the photocopying was a pun of sorts in the sense of a professor or TA making a copy available for students to photocopy. So, if I just made a photocopy available and put it up on a web site and everyone made their own copy it would take care of the legality that Mike mentioned.

I think it would be good to have all of Crisis available on-line, and if we did a reading that would help motivate my end.
