Kim and listees,

Kim, thanks for the performance and the law paper. Printing as I write.

Listees, I have sent this additional reference to Kim separately, but
another reference of interest on law and performance is:

Bernard Hibbits, ""Coming To Our Senses: Communication and Legal
Expression in Performance Cultures." Emory Law Review 41, 4 (Fall, 1992)
874-947.

This article looks at multiple intelligences (auditory, sound, visual,
tactile/kinesthetic, even smell and taste) as aspects of legal activities
of all kinds throughout history and multiple cultural contexts..
