    (Nods)   So I heard as well.    I have a copy of the book on order,
(Salon had some images from it on the pay section, and being a sucker for
very good photography, I ordered it.)   A reform rabbi friend of mine said
he saw no problems with it.   (then again, he's the one who sent me a small
Shekhina statue for my altar after I gave him a copy of Raphel Patai's "The
Hebrew Goddess".

    Anyway, bring up the book when I get the copy?

I doubt they would get a clue even if Blue and Steve themselves came in and
pummeled them mercilessly with a sledgehammer with Blue's pawprint stamped
on the business end.
