I've read the response, and was decidedly underwhelmed. There
are no "connections with serek hayahad" beyond those produced
by wishful thinking, and I have no idea how in the world Norman
Golb got into this discussion. I certainly didn't mention him, I
mentioned a photograph in Ada Yardeni's article. However, I have
come to expect this kind of smokescreen from SG, so I suppose I
should thank him for not disappointing me...
