Before this posting sinks forever, I want to thank Jim Ramsey for his private vetting of it and whose suggestions can significantly improve it. The original, this one, is 500 words required by a journal where it now rests in the slush pile; if it’s not accepted, I intend to revise it and adopt most of Jim’s edits. I’m also going to add more on N’s relationship with Mary Jo.
