    When I was a freshman at Denison University back in 1988, I took an English course on Celtic literature. Among other things, we read “Y Gododdin,” “The Mabinogion,” and one of Geoffrey Ashe’s books about Arthur. Our professor, the Merlin-esque Tony Stoneburner, arranged for Ashe to visit Denison that term, where he gave a talk about his latest pet research project, the goddess cult of the Virgin Mary. Our lit class was very small, so we were all invited to have dinner with Ashe before his lecture, and I was one of the ones who accepted. (Geek out on medieval history at a fancy restaurant on the school’s tab? Yes, please!) I recall Ashe being a very pleasant fellow in person, and almost the perfect picture of an avuncular British academic.

    Another noteworthy thing about the documentary Gimme Shelter is that one of the camera operators was a young, pre-THX-1138 George Lucas.

    Dorothy L. Sayers got into the doppelganger business in one of her Lord Peter Wimsey short stories. There’s a putative scientific explanation, but the story leans heavily on evil twins, Jekyll-and-Hyde personalities, and the creepiness of mirrors. Great fun.
