9/8/99--As I mentioned earlier, I got this letter from Rick Levine which had lots
of comments on Crooked Cucumber and other memories of those times. Rick
kept a journal. His letter was in script so I'll have to type it and then
I'll post it and some other stuff from him. For now though we have, thanks
to him, these changes--just without his nifty explanations and script. I
guess I should scan his letter.
p. 324, #4, L.4: ...later she came back to Tassajara and practiced (prone} zazen in the zendo... Change to: later she came back to Tassajara and practiced zazen <lying on her back> in the zendo P. 328, #5, L.2: They all walked the {twelve} blocks together. Change to: They all walked the <fifteen> blocks together. P.341, #1, L.2: There had been less fish and meat served each summer, and {now} the fare was totally vegetarian, due to Tatsugami's insistence... Change to: There had been less fish and meat served each summer, and <by the following year> the <guest> fare was totally vegetarian, due to Tatsugami's insistence... P. 390, #2, L.1: Entering Suzuki's bedroom, Stunkard saw that Suzuki was scratching. A chill went down Stunkard's spine. He knew there were two types of jaundice - one infectious (hepatitis), the other obstructive. An obstruction to the outflow of bile causes itching. {The most common obstruction is} cancer. He felt terrible but didn't say anything at the time. He just asked if he could confer with Suzuki's doctor. Change to: Entering Suzuki's bedroom, Stunkard saw that Suzuki was scratching.
