Interesting list of the items found in Sherzer's Hotel Room.
One of the notebooks was supposedly written by Scherzer in "Hungarian" [sic] (the language is known as Magyar) The black Doctor's kit bag is a nice touch... ------------------------------------------------------------------- News Article from the Mobile Register Prosecution rests in juvenile sex case against doctor Closing arguments could be made Monday afternoon http://www.al.com/news/mobileregiste...9391245911.xml Among the items found in the hotel room and introduced as evidence Friday: A black bag similar to an old-fashioned doctor's kit, containing tweezers, a stethoscope, a statuette of Hippocrates, the ancient Greek "father of medicine," and two sex toys -- "tools for degrading and humiliating this ninth-grader," Assistant U.S. Attorney Maria Murphy called them in her opening statement. Stabler acknowledged that while playing the part of the girl, he broached the idea of Sherzer buying the sex toys for the hypothetical encounter. Several bottles of liquor and two shot glasses, as well as two books of cocktail recipes. At least two dozen unopened condom packets. Three bottles of Viagra with the prescription in Sherzer's name. Several notebooks containing meticulous entries on moving from Baltimore to Shreveport by way of Miami and Mobile. One notebook contained lists of goals, written in Hungarian, that showed the writer's desires to become a doctor, be responsible, have a wife and family, socialize well and have sex with "lots of pretty girls," an FBI linguist testified. Boxes of books, including philosophy, poetry, Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," works by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and the playwright Henry Miller, chess manuals and medical journals. Prosecutors highlighted several other titles like "Secrets of Seduction," "How to Be the Best Lover a Girl Ever Had," "A Guide to Picking up Girls," a psychology treatise subtitled "How We Change After We Lose Our Dads" and a copy of "Lolita," Vladimir Nabokov's notorious novel about a man's sexual fascination with a 12-year-old girl. |

Interesting list of the items found in Sherzer's Hotel Room.
One of the notebooks was supposedly written by Scherzer in "Hungarian" [sic] (the language is known as Magyar) The black Doctor's kit bag is a nice touch... Isn't it? Among the items found in the hotel room and introduced as evidence Friday: A black bag similar to an old-fashioned doctor's kit, containing tweezers, a stethoscope, a statuette of Hippocrates, the ancient Greek "father of medicine," and two sex toys -- "tools for degrading and humiliating this ninth-grader," Assistant U.S. Attorney Maria Murphy called them in her opening statement. Did he note that this was their intended purpose? Stabler acknowledged that while playing the part of the girl, he broached the idea of Sherzer buying the sex toys for the hypothetical encounter. Oops. Several bottles of liquor and two shot glasses, as well as two books of cocktail recipes. At least two dozen unopened condom packets. Three bottles of Viagra with the prescription in Sherzer's name. All legal. Several notebooks containing meticulous entries on moving from Baltimore to Shreveport by way of Miami and Mobile. One notebook contained lists of goals, written in Hungarian, that showed the writer's desires to become a doctor, be responsible, have a wife and family, socialize well and have sex with "lots of pretty girls," an FBI linguist testified. All legal. Boxes of books, including philosophy, poetry, Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," works by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and the playwright Henry Miller, chess manuals and medical journals. Prosecutors highlighted several other titles like "Secrets of Seduction," "How to Be the Best Lover a Girl Ever Had," "A Guide to Picking up Girls," a psychology treatise subtitled "How We Change After We Lose Our Dads" and a copy of "Lolita," Vladimir Nabokov's notorious novel about a man's sexual fascination with a 12-year-old girl. All legal. Where's the crime or the probable cause for the thought crime? |

Three bottles of Viagra with the prescription in Sherzer's name.
All legal. Maybe. If he wrote himself a prescription for a drug he doesn't need, that's a crime. Not this crime, however. |

Hello??? Among English speakers, that language is known as Hungarian.
Just like among English speakers, the language they speak in France is known as "French". It's not known as "Francais". Magyar is factually correct. John Fernandez |

It's not known as "Francais". Magyar is factually correct. Possibly to a linguist. Not in ordinary conversation. Yes, for example try the Google search "Hungarian English Dictionary", then try "Magyar English Dictionary" --- I get 11000 hits to 500. Or do similar searches in the newsgroup sci.lang. 'Magyar' is *a* correct word for the language, but the editors of the Mobile paper made the right choice: it would have been pretentious (and also obscure to many readers) to use 'Magyar' instead of 'Hungarian'. |
