Thanks for the link, Zz. How I wish I could understand all of that now. :(

This is exactly what I was looking for! Talk about serendp - serenedi -seneredip - coolness!

Hmmm, what other gems are out there on this subject? Also, what do folks think of Feynman's old Quantum Electrodynamcis as an intro to this subject?

Do you mean the popularization with the oil slick on the cover?

No, not the pop-sci one titled QED, but the one titled Quantum Electrodynamics (http://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Electrodynamics-Advanced-Book-Classics/dp/0201360756/sr=1-1/qid=1164233628/ref=sr_1_1/102-0400383-7620159?ie=UTF8&s=books). It gets a high rating on Amazon, but I wonder if that is due to a bit of Feynman worship.
