Re: [xmca] Gita died
There is an international group of scholars here in Moscow at Vygotsky
Summer School who will participate in the funeral on Friday. It is
very sad. The presents she asked to bring from New York are still in
my suitcase.
Best regards,
Elina Lampert-Shepel

I have on my table a violin string. It is free. I twist one end of it
and it responds. It is free. But it's not free to do what a violin
string is supposed to do - to produce music. So I take it, fix it in
my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then is it free to be
a violin string.
-Sir Rabindranath Tagore
