Dear Sir: The letters “LL.D.” represent a degree of Doctor of Laws, awarded to Dr. Boli honoris causa by the University of Coimbra, in Portugal, upon the completion of the construction of that happy nation. Dr. Boli also holds a Doctorate of Letters from a well-known English university, a Doctorate of Philosophy from the Academy in Athens, a Doctorate of Chiropractic obtained at a garage sale from an elderly woman who seemed only too happy to get rid of it, and a number of other degrees in various disciplines that have caught his attention over the years.
