What's  Coming up on Monday

Dear colleague,

By "mistake," I sent you the final section (section VI) of Richard's paper ("All Bodies Die)" earlier--at 12am. This is the conclusion of the paper rather than its beginning.

The balance of the paper will be coming to you today--in modules--as per the sequence below.

Sorry for the error. 

But perhaps this "slip" is meaningful. Because for Hitler, the end was contained within the beginning. His final, final solution was to "kill the world:" the death of every single human body.

Best regards,

Mary Helen
