Reply to Dane Gill:
as I mentioned in a previous posting, when Wilson visited us in Cambridge
in the 40's, he would do a magic trick fo me, to which I looked forward eagerly:
a handkerchief folded into a rabbit-like shape that traveled along a string.
This has always been associated in my mind with the "Bunny" sobriquet. I don't
know at what age Wilson started performing the trick, and whether there actually
was a connection.
