Althought I haven't read LOCB yet, I would hazzard a guess that it could be a different Laszlo. Also we don't know much about Laszlo in the present day, so who can say what his current status is. > Another question as I have managed to read the > entire Brokedown Palace in a > single day.

Remember time doesn't affect Devera the same as it does everyone else. Devera delivered a letter to her grandfather >from her grandmother with the news of her mother's birth. That pretty much demonstrates her special status in the space-time continuum. Doc ===== Doc www.toubib.us __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
