Hi Gang,  Spring finally sprung here in the nawth country--lost our last
snow 1 May.  Now that I'm thawed out I'm back with questions.  What's the
Radiator Bldg and why is it important?  For Rybczynski try RIB ZIN SKI or
RIB SIN SKI  they are easier than they look.  It's all those consonants in
a row that look confusing.  Just remember Y can be used as a vowel.  Ruth
