	You're in a light-hearted mood, Anselm?
Re sgians, have a care if you value them.
Not long ago I was told by a friend that on the arrival in New York the 
sgian he had in his suitcase was confiscated and he was not able to re-
claim it.  It was a family piece of some 120 years at least.   No 
compensation or discussion. 
He was told -  NO Knives Allowed!

So are there any dancing custom-officers out there? :>) with a brand new old
'stocking knife'
