Conversation hearts entered my life through a citation in one of P.L. Travers

Our Fair City, who says that he gets his best inspiration from
teenagers. Lately, therefore, he's done a series of cyber-friendly messages, including FAX ME, WWW.LOVE, and
E-MAIL.
Somehow, it just seems to figure that's what kids in Cambridge talk about...
