  13. StM looks up from the copy of _Newsweek_ he's reading and asks DM, "Had you
  14. heard about this?"  He walks to the bar, buys another shot of rye, and steps up
  15. to the line.   "A toast," he says, "to the man who's probably got more
  16. astronomical bodies named after him than anyone else except possibly Magellan:
  17. Jan Oort, 1900-1992.  He died a couple of weeks ago."
