EDNOTE. Have I mentioned that sculpture certainly echoes Henry Moore's work--which VN strongly disliked?

Dear Akiko
Do you remember the Pauline Anida sculpture ( I have "Ada" open, not "TT" now quoted only from memory ) and the "Nestlé" suggestion for "nido:nest" ? And your exchanges with John Rea which appeared today again in the N-List?

I found professor Nabonidus ( !!!)

Cf. Ada, Penguin 127: ( Accursed? Accursed? It was the newly described, fantastically rare vanessian, Nymphalis danaus Nab., organge brown, with black-and-white ffforetips, mimicking, as its discoverer Professor Nabonidus of Babylon College, Nebraska, realized, not the Monarch butterfly directly, but the Monarch through the Viceroy, one of the Monarch´s best known imitators. In Ada´s angry hand )

By the way, has any of you two worked on TT´s name of manager Kronig? It is a mixture of König ( King) and Krone ( crown) and could also be related to Ada´s Krölik...
