   I tink most people can differentiate between a difference is style and   
   a lack of mental competence. How many times wuld you have to be told   
   there was no "code" to stop asking? Doyle went as far to say that   
   O'Hare thought EVERYTHING meant something else. There's a name for   
   that -- several in fact -- in the DSM-IV.

   I would note -- again -- that Claudia Christian said exactly the same   
   thing.

   There are several version of that story; I think if you Google it you   
   find an entire article about it.   
   Amy: You don't like Doyle's comments about O'Hare, or Furst (was that   
   you?), or his politics. Is there anything you do like about him?
