Thanks for the shout-out pic of James Burke!

Those who aren't familiar should look up his series from the late 1970s, "Connections."

Definitely. You can't say Francois is wrong unless you specify the English spelling. Gotta say though, a degree of separation is for people who have a relationship. You can't have a relationship with a comet.

I would caution the use of subjective terms like 'dictator' re: Castro. Not stating any personal opinion, it can just be fodder for ugly debate.

I think "Fernando" should be accepted for "Ferdinand", given it was his name in its native language. "Isabel" is accepted, so I don't see why "Fernando" shouldn't be.
