Tim, there was more brahmin speech in the longer version. I'm sure of

that. I'd forgotten how much remained in the 55-minute version. The

longer version of "American Tongues" was previewed at an ADS meeting

some time ago, and later on shorter versions were made for wider

distribution. The next time you view the 55-minute version, notice

that at the end there are a few faces of people who didn't have big

partsin the video; they all had longer parts in the original. ("longer

parts," as if they were actors) DMLance
