I think there was\nan augury that didn't go into the details of the entrails but\nconsisted of predictions - clearly this was an example of a different\ninterviewee's account, but the interviewee seemed to recount the\nhappenings rather than anything else. (Which could be due to ignorance\nof the interpretation.)\n\n\tPersonally, I'm going to have to decide *which* question to put\nto Gene Wolfe - there's so many to ask!\n\n\tTercel"
