W.C. in Philadelphia, hmmm, could it be? The fields in question
however are the paths by which one measures oneself along 
lines, celestial, epistemological etc.  Yes W.C. Fields had it in for children, yet he always
makes us laugh.  The bumbling of Wicks should be added to the
equation.  Now how about watercloset...
I'd rather be in Philadelphia...along with the Mad Dogs and
Englishmen.
