Your comments frequently suggest to me very much the thought processes and
history dismissive attitudes of the thankfully deceased Paul De Mann. De
Mann, a prominent Belgium Nazi in his youth, managed to hide this fact most
of his life, while building a very successful career in U.S. academe in
large part around a scholastic assertion of the impenetrability of
historical fact. Like you apparently, De Mann was not aware that there were
positive treatment protocols for the personal anguish of his situation.

I don't know this De Mann fellow, but he sure sounds a lot like the late
deconstructionist Paul de Man.

****housemouse! His brother, Bennie de Man, hangs out playing sax -
badly - on the corner of St. Peter and Royal in the Vieux Carre...of
course, he's more of an obstructionist...well, an obstruction, anyway...
