To the members of the list:
Here is another student question which may be thought-provoking.
Anyone who wishes to help Eric with the answer (in his preparation for
the exam), with a one to three sentence reply is welcome to do so.
Patrick will be including the information in his essay for the final
exam. Thanks in advance to any and all who reply.

been the first to explore the oceans and stumble upon the New World
instead of Columbus?"
