Thanks for this posting, Robert, and for your continued support.  Readers who aren't already lit types--and thus won't immediately recognize the parody--might want to see lines 173-186 of The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot, at http://www.bartleby.com/201/1.html.  He wrote about the devasted culture of post-WWI Europe.

We USM professors are not in hiding, by the way, just brutally busy with more and more to do as time goes on.  I salute all my colleagues who are still in the trenches.

NO QUARTER.
