Yeah!  And every time he comes in everybody goes "Tom!"

Now on a more serious level, I was reading the other day the Playboy
article, and it seemed to (the paranoid) me just a little bit too cute.
>From Shirley Temple impersonations to the lascivious mentions of a cute
preteen, it all fits in too nicely.  Wouldn't an autobiography leave us
with just the same feeling?  (but of course, I am underestimating old
Tom.)

Saludos, Juan.
