And as I like to point out to my students, that book shows how the 
language has changed.  When he wrote it in the mid 1950s, the first 
edition was called "Holocaust"-- I have a copy of it, and back then, 
the word still referred mainly to a raging fire, rather than its 
later meaning of what the Nazis did during World War 2.  When the 
second edition came out, Benzaquin had to re-name it.   (Btw, I 
haven't heard about Paul in ages-- I saw him about five years ago and 
he was in poor health but doing fairly well, given his age.  Anyone 
heard further about him?)
