A partial list: Plato, Socrates, Seneca, Boethius, Cervantes, Sir Walter Raleigh, Daniel Defoe, Voltaire, Beaumarchais, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Verlaine...
...James Astrue will have used up all his leave. When M.C. Wendell asks him what British adventurer explored the waters around Jamestown in 1608 and afterward the waters around New England, what will he say? Will he say John Smith and stay on the show?
