Dershowitz wrote a book called 'chutzpah' and then Finkelstein wrote a book 'Beyond Chutzpah'.

Oh yeah, you remind me that "beyond" is also a favorite word of mine.

Second favorite:  Eschscholtzia

[removed by admin]

If the word of your choice "removed by admin" began with an f and had more than three letters following that letter, I would say only that I wonder what took you so long; I would not, however, wonder what didn't take admin so long to remove it. Anyway, whatever it may have been, I'm sure that Sciarrino would have chosen it more carefully, though I've no idea what Boulez would have said (other, perhaps, than "Quatrième Sonate? Merde!")...

Best,
