They arrive.... ...$-4/3,-1,-2/3$. The negative parameters result from going beyond the triality model to more general models based on $\Bold Z$-gradings of Lie algebras and the numbers have yet to be interpreted geometrically. a demain, joseph %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %Joseph M.
