S. himself. By the way, there is a movie soon to be released called "Tempest" that follows the story-line a little closer (except maybe there will be fuse-balls and super-zappers). I've heard that Shakespeare's Tempest was supposed to have taken place on Bermuda. Does anyone know if this is true? Kenny Hirsch duke!unc!kh
