[LCC] Another review of Davidson, Greeks and Greek Love

[Robert T. White]

At some point (Today? Tomorrow?) the Plain Dealer may put online a review
of Davidson's book by John Kappes  at <http://www.cleveland.com/books/>
from today's print edition.

Why is it not online now? Good question.

Why was it printed at all? Probably as an excuse to run over it a 
picture of the
Cleveland Museum of Art's Apollo Sauroktonos  as CMA celebrates the opening
of its new East Wing (big event here, apparently)
<http://www.cleveland.com/events/>

The review itself, though, is fairly explicit about the subject 
matter; the reviewer,
however, implies that the "A Bold New..." subtitle is Davidson's idea...
