Abstract
I find it difficult to respond to my wife, Sidney, in the formal manner of a paper destined to be published in a book. For one thing, it is considered a fallacy in lofty quarters to engage in ad hominem arguments. But of course marital disputes luxuriate in such arguments. For another, it is by no means easy to focus entirely on the written word, putting out of mind all the oral versions of the same ideas that we have wrestled with in private.
