The text quoted in Chase & Phillips (p 22, if anyone is interested) is
attributed to Hippocrates: hO CRONOS ESTIN EN hWi KAIROS, KAIROS EN hWi
CRONOS OU POLUS.  The fact that Carl was only close, and not exact with
the quote is amazing: it just proves he does this from memory!  It makes
me look forward to being his age, with such a wealth of experience on
which to draw.  Of course, even in my youth, I am trying to get close,
and not exact, with my own name and address :)
