I am sure Rapp joins me in wishing you all the great and simple joy of a happy New Year. Don't ask him for anything more complicated, as he will be sure to muddy it up with a cloud of detailed persiflage, obscure conundrums and miscellaneous irrelevancies. Plus ca change, etc., doncher know. But all this notwithstanding he is surely an upright man in full, a bold defender of many things, some of which are surely worth defending, and owner of a large and generous heart. So send him blessings too, for the best of all possible years ahead
