Re: "redux"

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

Michael Spudic remonstrated with me that he should get at least a nickel 
back since his Webster 3 (as Dwight MacDonald famously called the Third 
Edition in his legendary NEW YORKER review) does not have an entry for 
"redux."  Of course I had checked that before sharing the defs. that I *did* 
find in other dictionaries (including the more recent Merriam Webster 
College dictionary, 10th edition) and am, as I advised Michael, puzzled by 
its absence.  I suspect that "redux" enjoyed a resugence as an English word 
after the Third came out--in 1962, apparently--which means that we have the 
post-60s phenomenon (really!) of

"redux" redux !

Fiendishly,

Robert Cohen

(and thanks, Ilana)
