HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATTHEW!

Silly Matthew, you had to be "dead asleep" when I called to say this. I thought about you on two different occasions this morning - Trout Quintet, Tchaik Symphony #5. It was a very, very good morning. The phone call: in the craziness preceding early December I forgot to send you a card, and by the time I realized this I thought it'd never reach you in time, so the call had been planned. So yes. Silly Matthew for sleeping.

I know we have dozens of texts up for discussion, but here's another. I've persuaded a friend to read A Clockwork Orange with me (could not do it alone) and I've been wondering about the last chapter of Part III that was not included in the movie nor, apparently, the first edition published in America. Somewhat in line with our seminar on The Book of Merlyn, my end-of-post question: why was this chapter not included?
