I was reading your column thanks to the link I got from a friend. I only want to say that Sienkiewicz pronounces his name incorrectly. It's not Sin-kev-itch. It's Shyen-kiev-itch. I mention it, because I'm polish, and because Bill makes a huge fuss about it. It's funny that for all the fuss he makes about it, he doesn't even pronounce his own name correctly. Sorry if it's the wrong place to post that, but your link turned out in the googlesearch on sienkiewicz.
