Thanks for the excellent suggestion, which I followed and got a very
fast response. LaPadula was also kind enough to give me permission to
post his (not to simple!) answer to Usenet, so I've copied it below
for those who are curious. Remember the two pronunciations that I had
suggested:
>> 1) la PA du la (sounds vaguely French)
>> 2) la pa DU la (sounds almost Italian)
