    I fear one of the two meanings is lost for good. The other meaning is
rendered best by "universal family". "Universal Brotherhood" can be the
(unlucky) description of an all-inclusive wonderful feeling (I have never
excluded sisters from this like you), but "humanity" alone would destroy
the second meaning as well.

   ??!!?? You posted this as a reply to my regret that essential meaning
was lost and my consolating pad on the shoulder to Rudy.
   Now I am depressed, who will pad *my* shoulder?

in friendship,

Kim
