On 2nd read of AtD

[kelber at mindspring.com]

The toughest sequences for me were 1.Cyprian in the Balkans; 2.Cyprian, Yashmeen and Reef in the Balkans.  This was TRP's oblique way of writing about WWI I guess, (possibly about math?),but the sequences were long and repetitive.  Hope they'll improve on the second read.
