Of course Mars being the "God" of war and a wolf often used symbolically by warriors the combination of Marc and Wolf seems symbolically appropriate. However much Mr. Wolfe's character may or may not be in alignment with such sentiments. The "greatly honoured grocer" "Mahatma Gandhi" could not have had a more prosaic name while being one of the more dynamic and "militant" personages of history. For all his pacifism (& prosaic name) he inspired and led a militant struggle for freedom. -- Joseph Littleshoes |
