The title's from an old Smithsonian article by Susan Hornik published in February of 2001. {You can read a snippet of it online, actually - it's about synesthesia (condition where a stimulus leads to a v. different sense, i.e. hearing a specific key leads to sensing a specific colour) and quite interesting - here: http://www.smithsonianmagazine.com/issues/2001/february/synesthesia.php [I'd also rec. going through your (or someone else's) archives and finding the article.]} The other familiar bits are JK's.
