Subject: Length of A4 page

In order to make printing easier for European users of PhiloBiblon
and its bibliographies of medieval Iberian literature, to be
released later this year on CD-ROM disk, I need to know how
many lines long a sheet of A4 paper is.

The standard U.S. equivalent, 8.5 x 11 inches, is 66 lines long.
I have been told that the A4 is 60 lines long, which I don't
understand, since it's actually longer than the 8.5 x 11
(297 mm. vs. 280 mm., to be precise).

Paper will be the last thing to be standardized, I suppose.

Many thanks,

Subject: Looking for Good Outstanding Biography of Goethe

Several years ago The New Yorker published a glowing review of a new
biography of Goethe. I intended to borrow it when it appeared in our
library, but evidently we never acquired it. Now, of course, I can't
remember the title or author. Are there any experts out there that
could recommend an outstanding recent biography so I could get it
ordered?

Dear Humanists--

A colleague here is interested in finding listserv lists or other
such virtual meeting places frequented by practicing poets.

Any and all help will be appreciated.

Subject: Tutor for handicapped friend

I am seeking a tutor in the vicinity of Wallingford CT for a physically
handicapped friend who is undergoing therapy at the Gaylord Rehabilitation
Center. This young woman has full use of one hand, and the facility has an
Apple II. My goal is to have her learn enough of the basic skills to move
on to communications when she returns home to Long Island (propsectively in
two months). Anyone interested (or knowing someone who would be interested)
can send me e-mail at <jqrqc@cunyvm.cuny.edu> or call me at 212.628.7846.
