- 1. In art, Wistan is a Saxon prince leaning on a sword.
- Really the best of the lot. Kind of funny, St. Wistan is something of a pacifist.
- 2. Thus the Martyr-Prince Wistan is listed under January 1, not June 1...
- Martyr-Prince sounds kind of cool until you really think about what it means; dead is dead.
- 3. Wistan is an old man who sees his life's work (the College) as being under threat, and he's afraid.
- Turns out Wistan appears in some uninspired fiction.
- 4. Wistan is there under the command of King Cnut who has given him permission to gather the Saxon dead.
- More fiction and historically inaccurate in so many ways. I think this was kid lit; no wonder the rugrats are confused.
- 5. The aim of this network, known as WISTAN, is to promote the formation of women scientists, well versed in problems of the continent, to improve the image of women scientists through research results in science and technology, education, health and nutrition, agriculture, food and environment.
- Completely didn't expect this one...

One of my literature professors was a friend of Mary Higgins Clark. Actually, I suspect she was something of a Mary Higgins Clark stalker. She was the head of women's studies. Perusing the books in her office, I distinctly got the impression that women's studies was not a subject particularly open to straight women or men in general. Imagine my surprise when I met her husband.
Odd memory, that. I liked that prof, got drunk at her house once; wonder how she's doing...
