Okay, I'm now going to reveal it to everyone, since I don't give a 
good g.d. about PBK (though I'm not above putting it on my resume 
anyway, <eg>), and what exactly are they going to do to me?  To 
deliver the PBK handshake, turn ring finger and pinky down so that you 
are extending two fingers.  Shake.

Does anyone actually do this, outside of induction ceremonies?  I 
mean, does it get you admitted to the Harvard club or something?

Oh, I'm so jealous.  The only LPW I own is the volume of short 
stories.  Now I have the itch and no way to scratch it 'til I can get 
to a library tomorrow afternoon.
