Some may feel that the Saint in question is Philip Berrigan, who joined Saburo Ienaga and Ivan Illich on Dec. 6, 2002.

Others may feel that the Saint is Don Ameche, who died on Dec. 6, 1993.

	Noncontinuous Groups: A page with this title has been added to my finite-geometry site. (For the first version of that site, see a web page cached on August 15, 2000; compare with Ivars Peterson's August 28, 2000, column "Scrambled Grids." These pieces are clearly intended for two different audiences, but there is a certain similarity in the subject matter.)

ART WARS:

Singer 7-Cycles

Click on images for details.

The 1985 Cullinane version
gives some algebraic background
for the 1987 Curtis version.

The Singer referred to above is James Singer. See his "A Theorem in Finite Projective Geometry and Some Applications to Number Theory," Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 43 (1938), 377-385.

For other singers, see Art Wars and today's obituaries.

Some background: the Log24 entry of this date seven years ago, and the entries preceding it on Las Vegas and painted ponies.

Man and His Symbols:

Wakes

This morning's New York Times reports the deaths of Nuremberg interrogator Richard W. Sonnenfeldt and of avant-garde novelist and Beckett scholar Raymond Federman.

Symbols from this journal on the dates of their deaths:

For Sonnenfeldt, who died
on Friday, Oct. 9,
a symbol from that date:

For connotations of the symbol appropriate to the name Sonnenfeldt, see the link to A Sunrise for Sunrise in the entry of Saturday, Oct. 10.

For Federman, who died
on Tuesday, Oct. 6,
a symbol from that date:

A quotation that appeared here on Wednesday, Oct. 7, seems relevant to Federman:

But I am a worker, a tombstone mason, anxious to pleace averyburies and jully glad when Christmas comes his once ayear. You are a poorjoist, unctuous to polise nopebobbies....

-- James Joyce, Finnegans Wake
