[silence] Lecture on Something

[Randy Gibson]

In the introduction to the printing in Silence it says:

	"Although it had been prepared some years earlier, this lectures was  
not printed until 1959, when it appeared in It Is, edited by Philip  
Pavia, with the following introduction: "In the general moving around  
and talking that followed my Lecture on Something (ten years ago at  
the Club)""

  which would suggest that it was 1949
