[Smt-talk] most dangerous words

[Candace Brower]

Dear all,

I seem to remember hearing that David Lewin once said something along  
the lines of "'Is' and 'the' are among most dangerous words in the  
English language."  Can anyone tell me what the original wording is,  
where the quote came from, and anything about the context in which it  
was originally said?  I think about this quote a lot and I am  
constantly reminded of its wisdom.

Best,

Candace
