Some Suggestions On What To Do With It + +4. Overview + + Bell systems has to keep up maintance of all phone lines and test them +too.. this means they had to make a point where the line man could easily +go and enter the customer's phone line. Though we have always seen this on +a telephone poll, or a bell employee cutting open a large cord containg +thousands of lines. There is an easier way. Bell also has metal boxes on the +ground that the bell employee's use to fix or monitor your line, and we use +to make calls from it. + +5. How To Find The Bell Phone Box + + When many people think about box's they think of aqua boxes or blue +or any other color in existance.. I am simply talking about a metal or plastic +box that bell uses to hide and protect their equipment from the weather and +vandals. It is not really a box more a cylinder. In our part of the nation +it is plastic, about 3 feet high and has a large bell sticker on it +explaining that it is against the law to use blah blah blah. It is usually +protected by a bolt on the bottom.. It can be unlocked with a 7/16 hex or +cresent wrench. + +6. Materials Needed + + 1 7/16 Hex Wrench + 1 Pair Of Alligator Clips + 1 Phone Cord + 1 Roll Of Electrical Tape + 1 Phone + + Ok, Now Cut the phone cord and the cord running from the alligator +clips. Connect the Green and Yellow cord to one wire and connect the black +and red wires to the other. Make sure that the green and yellow and the +red and black wires are seperated and use some electrical tape to seal the +splice. Congratulations you know have the equipment needed to patch into a +phone line. + +7. How To Do It + + Ok, We have come to the point of the document when I tell the final +step. Go to the cylinder like phone box you have found. Use the 7/16 hex +wrench to unbolt the bolt and slide the plastic cover off. In front of you +should be a long row of prongs on a stick. A close up would look somewhat +like this + _______________ + /______________/| + | || + | ----------- || + || /()\ /()\ | || + || | || + | ----------- || + | || + + + That is just one of the many prongs you should see.. Now look for a +a set of prongs that has wires running to it, that is a operating phone line. +Hook up the two alligator clips there.. One clip per prong. Hook the cord +to the phone you brought with you and check for a dial tone.. +If you got one.. congratulations you have complete control over their phone +line. + +8. Some Suggestions On What To Do With It + + 1: Call all the board or LD friends you may have.. Remember a simple + 102881(area code)(Number) will over ride any long distance + blocking. + 2: Call all those 1900 lines you see on television + 3: Call the AT&T Teleconfrencing Operater and set up a confrence for + you and your friends around the US to talk on .. for free.. the + number to call is 18005446363.. You will need to call an ANI first + to find out the number you are calling from. + 4: Prank Call The Police.. tell them what you really think about them + and watch the owners of the line get a visit by mama's little + piggie + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/magazines/ASS/assren.txt b/textfiles.com/magazines/ASS/assren.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..6b501559 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/magazines/ASS/assren.txt @@ -0,0 +1,62 @@ + ASS '94 - Anarchy/Cracking/Graphics/Hacking/Phreaking/Virus Development + + How To Hack Renegade BBS Systems + by DysPhunXioN of ASS + +This is the first in a line of anarchy/hacking/phreaking text philes...

These are the hackers, pirates, couriers, artists, +writers, phreakers, coders, anarchists, and sysops that have made the +Underground Alliance a reality. Through this document, they shall never be +forgotten. + Greetings, this text has been assembled and distributed throughout BBS's +enclosed in archived files and throughout internet in order to explain what +the Underground Alliance is, why it was created, and how it works. Before an +explanation of the U.A. is given, let us summarize the current BBS "scene". +Throughout todays Cyberspace, one can find a large variety of BBS's that +carry support for hacking, phreaking, carding, virii, warez, artwork and text +files in some degree and form. These BBS's like it or not collectively makeup +the computer underground. The sysop's and users all share the same general +belief that the world of computers and telecommunications should be accessible +regardless of cost and that they have the right to access information. +Unfortunately, the similarities between these BBS's, sysops and users cease +here, for most boards are independent, isolated and therefor severely limited +in their abilities to provide security for their users and provide the +facilities by which to share the collective knowledge of the underground. Some +boards seek to solve these faults through sister boards, nets and affiliations +with groups specialized in talents such as cracking, hacking, artwork and file +distribution. These measures however well meant and noble in purpose are +ineffective at best and in most cases lead to further isolation or worse, to +the terminal disease called eliteness. Eliteness is very prevalent in +Cyberspace today and has created a landscape on which the telecommunications +highway of the future can not be built. This disease has created an +intolerable situation by which knowledge is kept from the masses by the few +in a futile effort to become famous and powerful. One must be careful, +however, not to confuse eliteness with good security practices insuring that +those who wish to obliterate the BBS scene are shut out from it or the attempt +by a sysop to set a standard for his user base. Aside from the disease of +eliteness, the ego of todays sysop has been almost as destructive. Almost +every BBS is very customized and run by the sysop who in many cases acts like +god almighty himself. Although various BBS themes and layouts help make +Cyberspace as diverse as it is, a sysop who acts on his own a and not in the +best interests of his users is usually a doomed sysop. BBS's that are not +created for the users live short lives. Sysop's also have the tendency to +strive for the best board in the world, which is admirable in itself but +usually leads into a cycle of exclusion and isolation. By having examined but +a few of the current problems of the current BBS "scene", one can see the +intolerable situation at hand, but now that we have identified some of the +problems that plague the BBS world a cure can begin to take shape. + The Underground Alliance is just what it seems, an alliance of BBS's who +share the beliefs and knowledge of the underground. The Underground Alliance +consists of BBS's who adhere and follow the directive and regulations listed +below in an effort to provide an unprecedented level of security and +communication among BBS's; this is no lose alliance. At the core of the +Underground Alliance lies the U.A. Net and Congress, the primary means of +communication and government for the Underground Alliance. The U.A. is +controlled by those who make up it's ranks, the sysop and users in a congress +styled atmosphere where speed and efficiency are maximized at all times. The +mandates of the congress are carried out by the sysop's of the boards in U.A. +The congress oversees all U.A. operations and attempts at all times to carry +out the operational directive of the underground. Basically, the Alliance has +set forth and enforces regulations in an attempt to standardize security +procedures and to ensure that the exchange of underground information can take +place efficiently and effectively. Often times a sysop will ask, since I am +agreeing to follow your regulations, what's in it for me? To answer that +question in full, this text would be long winded to say the least, but some +examples can be given. The Underground Alliance provides full protection to +all member board through the blacklist and teletrial system, as well as the +mandates of the congress which can if need be, declare war and shut down an +external threat. The Underground Alliance requires all member boards to have +a standardized new user process, usually a specific infoform or other +information that must be answered correctly before a user is allowed into the +U.A. and a requirement that all new users are checked against the current U.A. +blacklist; this not only provides the same level of security throughout the +net, it creates an environment conducive to the spread of underground +knowledge. The Underground Alliance through the U.A. net provides a huge +on-line textfile library and numerous quality message bases as well as the +collective government body known as congress. + These are but a few examples of what the Underground Alliance can and + will do. In an effort to avoid secrecy and confusion, the complete + constitution and outline for the Underground Alliance has been included in + this document. Finally, the Underground Alliance does not try to pretend that + a change of this magnitude will take place overnight, or that the U.A. will + be able to resolve all of the faults of Cyberspace, however, the belief is + shared through all its members that by working in an alliance and through + cooperation an intractable army can be created to reach that one ultimate + goal that has become so illusive: The ability to learn and share the vast + knowledge the computer underground has to offer. + + +A word from the creator of the Underground Alliance : + + Greetings and thank you for taking the time to read this most +important document. I speak for the soldiers of the Underground Alliance and +for the storm of revolution their support has brought. I am pleading to those +reading this for light, for air, for opportunity. Those who have learned the +arts of the underground must pass on what they know, less this great world we +have enjoyed will die. I plead also for individual independence regardless of +age, and for the rights of labor and of free thought through rugged +individualism. Let the elitness, isolation and interfighting go, we will +worship these thing no more. Instead, turn your hearts and minds to honor, +service and justice for these are the foundations the underground future will +be built on. That which is founded upon eliteness and greed cannot endure. +That which is founded on honor, cooperation and dedication will prevail, +always. We will worship the gods of isolated eliteness no more. Let then sit +in their useless organizations of self praise and fade forever from our +memory. Some say there is no honor in hacking, cracking or the like; my +answer to that can be found in the immortal words of an old INC slogan, +"Honor is the only code we don't break". My friends, the Underground Alliance +is truly laying the foundations of the grand culture of the future and not +the plans of self-destructive isolated groups of present. + + Targa Phantom [UA / CiA Senior Courier] + "Cross over and join the fight" + +-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- + Underground Alliance Articles of Membership and Regulation +-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- + +Operational Directive : Standing orders for all BBS's in the Underground + Alliance are to create and maintain an environment + that will ensure the growth of the Underground- + Cyberspace culture and all aspects surrounding it. + + +<1> All boards admitted into the U.A. must recognize the teletrial under the + U.A. congress as final authority on all BBS matters, and recognize the + U.A. as before and above all other Nets, groups and alliances. + +<2> All boards in the U.A. must have been in operation for six weeks prior to + requesting admission in the Alliance in order to establish the BBS as + a true fully functional system. + +<3> All boards in the U.A. must maintain facilities to carry and display the + U.A. net system and must poll the net on a regular timely basis. + +<4> All boards in the U.A. must *display the current logo for the U.A. during + the logon process or must identify itself as an Underground Alliance + board in the front door escape twice sequence. + +<5> All boards in the U.A. must adhere to the standardized new user, security + and file base procedures as set worth in textfile form by the U.A. + congress. + +<6> The U.A. reserves the right to terminate a BBS from it's ranks if that + board falls below activity and participation requirements as set forth + by the U.A. congress. + +<7> No more than five boards per area code are allowed to represent the U.A. + in an effort to create diversity and to ensure speed of operation. + +<8> The Underground Alliance Congress shall consist of all active users and + sysop's of the U.A. boards.

After all, plenty of +momentarily captivating SF had been written based on stale or improbable +notions (A. E. Van V.: Q.E.D.). No, what I object to about King's story is +that it is patently the work of a man who -- at this stage of his career, +after however many best-selling words -- still cannot write with any degree +of competence larger than that of an apprentice hack. + + I identify three major failings in King's writings, which I'll try to +illustrate from this one story, where examples abound. The reader himself is +invited to look for instances in King's novels. + + 1). King has only one voice. + + By this, I do not mean that all his fiction is identifiable as +emanating from the same man. That is hardly a flaw. No, I mean that no +matter how a King story is narrated -- first person, as here, or omniscient +third person -- no matter how many characters are involved (basically two +here, casts of thousands elsewhere), EVERY DESCRIPTION, EVERY WORD OF +DIALOGUE, IS FILTERED BLATANTLY THROUGH KING'S OWN SET OF QUIRKS. There is +no differentiation of characters in a King story, there are no perceptions +evident but his. King inhabits a one-man universe. + + "T.E.O.T.W.M." features two brothers: one ostensibly a bright, but +normal writer; the other a "genius." Their speech, mannerisms, and actions +are identical. + + WRITER: "Good shit, too." + + GENIUS: "...bullshit...bullshit." + + WRITER: "...some weird shit..." + + GENIUS: "Shit..." + + Is this some hidden commentary on the writer-narrator's lack of talent, +or how he and his brother think alike? I doubt it. What it is, is Stephen +King talking as he would aloud. (Compare this laughable portrait of a +genius, by the way, to Greg Bear's superior work in BLOOD MUSIC, which has +much the same theme as the King story.) + + Let's look at some more examples of how a King story is like being +trapped in an empty room with the author himself. + + The narrator is born in 1980; his brother in '87. But if you think they +exhibit consciousnesses formed by the events of the 'eighties and 'nineties, +forget it. They talk just like King, exhibiting all his by-now familiar +tics: roots or retro music (Chuck Berry, Youngbloods, George Jones); +baseball stars from two or three decades in the story's past (Catfish Hunter, +Ron Guidry); LSD; old TV shows (WILD KINGDOM, ANDY OF MAYBERRY); comics +(Peanuts); toys (Paddington Bear, American Flyer wagon); celebrities (Rodney +Dangerfield). The depressing list goes on. + + If King had really wanted to limn characters born in the 'eighties, he +could have stuck with all these same interests, but just updated them. Teddy +Ruxpin instead of Paddington, different rock stars, etc. But that would have +been too much work. And it wouldn't have reflected King's own youth, his +only imaginative source. + + 2). King's figurative writing and his literal/descriptive writing fail +to seduce or convince the reader, and frequently accomplish just the reverse. + + King employs the same metaphors over and over and over. Mostly they +involve excretion or fearful sex. "Asshole," "pissing in their pants," "pass +a mental kidney stone," "social diseases," "AIDS virus," "my back teeth are +floating," "potty trained," "our dad farted so much," "I want whores to +douche in it." And let us not forget the "shit" leitmotif. + + But I can't go on. After a while, it's like fill-in-the-blank: if you +can think of a urogenital image, King'll use it. Perhaps this is some grand +Yeatsian "Love has pitched its temples in the place of excrement" riff. Yeah, +and maybe Billy Idol now houses the spirit of John Lennon. These aren't +planned tropes, they're psychoanalytic free-association -- and they're simply +embarrassing. + + As for his attempts at transcribing reality in a convincing manner, King +fails because he only knows three tactics: a) make it "cute"; b) make it +"gross" (a favorite King word, used in "T.E.O.T.W.M."); c) make it "hip." + + All three stratagems are miserable substitutes for simply observing +reality and transcribing accurately. CUTE: "genny" for generator; "footy +pajamas"; "Bow-Wow" for Howard. GROSS: "died raving and pissing"; "his +body... impaling itself on a tree"; "some senile farmer got pissed at a pig +and hit him with a shovel". HIP: "acid flashback"; "the goddamnedest +popskull"; "a big bulldyke who smokes Odie Perodie cigars" (my fave). + + King seems to believe that by employing these three tactics he will +create fiction that allows him to live up to his undeserved rep as a +popculture maven, someone who has his finger on the pulse of America. To me, +that describes William Burroughs and his work. Who King sounds like is +Johnny Carson. The same mentality is evident: funny words like "Albanian" +and "nostril hair" automatically rate a laff. + + 3). King has no sense of pace, plotting, or climax. + + This is a familiar charge against the man, and I will not belabor it +here. I only direct your attention to the ostensibly thrilling but draggy +passage about the boy genius's glider, and the interminable "Flowers for +Algernon" ending. + + And although King seems to realize his lack of brevity -- "Shit, I +can't afford these digressions" -- he does nothing about it, perhaps +realizing, rightly so, that he hasn't developed (and probably never will, at +this point) the skills to shape his fiction consciously, and must rely on +whatever tepid lava is vomited up. + + (Also note this Freudian slip: "Sometimes his syntax was garbled and +his modifiers misplaced... such flaws... plague most writers all their +lives.") + + King is the F.

Inside Penn Station, the +crowd of Boston-bound commuters was already sweaty and enervated, before they +had even begun their trip. They waited anxiously for the announcement that +their train was ready to board. + + When the announcement came, it directed the passengers to a gate +that had never been used before, on the lower level of the station. People +hurried for the stairs. Shuffling down into the bowels of the station, they +exchanged wary glances. + + The train had come from Washigton. It wasn't too full. Everyone +got a seat. + + The train pulled out on time. The hour was the 12:10. It was due +in Boston four-and-a-half hours later. + + The air-conditioning was working. The cafe cars were well-stocked +with drinks and food. People settled in. + + The train proceeded swiftly until 1:30, making several stops along +the way, the last being Bridgeport. + + Twenty minutes north of Bridgeport, however, with no station in +sight, the train suddenly slowed and halted. + + Everyone began to fidget, suspecting the worst. A few minutes after +the unscheduled stop, the voice of the condustor crackled over the PA. + + "We have encountered a drawbridge stuck in the up position. We will +notify you of the progress of the situation." + + A mass groan arose. Two sisters, with five toddelrs between them, +hung their heads. One of the children began to cry. + + People got up and went for drinks. Soon there was a long line at +both cafe cars. + + Every time a conductor appeared, he was deluged with questions. + + "Is the bridge being worked on?" "When will it be fixed?" "What +alternatives are there?" + + The answers the conductors gave were very unsatisfactory. + + An hour passed. Half of another. The train had now been stopped +for as long as it had travelled. People were alternately angry, cyncical, +joking, resigned. Rumors began to arise that one of the cafe cars had run +out of soda. The prompted a new rush for what was left. + + At 3:00, the PA came alive. + + "We are backing up to Bridgeport. What will happen there has not +yet been determined. However, anyone leaving the train will not be allowed +back on." + + Sputtering, shock, disbelief filled the cars. + + The journey that had taken twenty minutes in forward took twice as +long in reverse. + + It was now about 4:30. The trip had gone on for four-and-a-half +hours so far. However, the train was only an hour or so out of New York. It +should have been arriving in Boston just now. + + At Bridgeport a few people left the train. Most stayed put, having +no choice. Someone asked, "Why don't they bus us?" Al;most as if on cue, +the voice of authority emerged from the loudspeakers. + + "There has been a change in plans. We are going forward again to +the station before the drawbridge. There will be buses there to take +passengers around the damageed bridge, where they will board a new train." + + There was scattered, weak applause and cheers. Since it was getting +so close to suppertime, people went for more drinks and food. Definite news +reports from people who returned indicated the cafe cars were almost empty of +provisions. + + The train started up after an indefinite time and went forward. The +women with their five children looked exhausted, despite the fact that all +five kids were sleeping. + + The train stopped at a tiny station not normally serviced by the +train. + + "Please wait until told to leave." + + An hour or so passed. It was now about 6:30. + + The order to disembark came. + + Hot furnace-air smacked the people in the face as they emerged. It +was still in the nineties, and the sun was high. The conductors stood on the +platform, pointing out the way for people. They looked exhausted and mean. + + Down a set of iron stairs, under a rotting trestle where bums +obviously pissed, and up a slope into a parking lot, the passengers trooped, +carrying their luggage, some with just knapsacks, others bearing several +large cases. The sisters with their children had vanished in the mass. +There were over two hundred people. + + At the top of the slope awaited three school-buses, their windows +open to the stagnant air. + + People shoved and jostled for a place on the buses. Soon the aisles +were filled with luggage. The bus smelled like elementary school. People's +faces were sheened with sweat. Their eyes were glazed. + + The first bus took off. The little Connecticut town it went through +seemed poor and in disrepair. People congregating outside seedy bars watched +the buses in disbelief. Someone on board said, "I feel like that woman in +ROMANCING THE STONE." Everyone knew what she meant. + + The bus travelled on a road over the estuary that had blocked the +train's progress. It stopped. Hefting their bags, people climbed wearily +off. The bus left for another load. + + They had been deposited at a crumbling asphalt drive, flanked by +shrubs. People trudged up it. The tar turned into a gravel parking lot with +tow or three cars in it. The new station came into view: a small wooden +structure, red paint peeling from it, consisting of a single room for the +train personnel, and a soda machine. A long concrete platform made up the +rest of the station. There was no shade. + + At least a hundred people were already waiting there. It turned out +they had been the occupants of another stalled train. They were asked how +long they had been waiting. + + "Two hours," they said. + + Soon all the passengers of the twelve-ten from New York had been +delivered, to stand in the sun. Local policemen were there to keep order. +They began to be subject to verbal abuse. Some responded jokingly, others +with anger. The sun shone on them too. + + It was now 7:30. The people were still only an hour-and-a-half away +from the city. + + The sun began to sink. People waited; broiling, stupefied as +cattle. + + They would not board a train until eight. It would be the 2:10 from +New York, crossing over the now-fixed drawbridge. Once aboard, they would +find an insufficiency of seats. Ahead lay a broken rail and an hour delay in +New Haven, to switch engines. They would not see Boston until midnight, +twelve hours after departure. + + No one knew this now, although they suspected the worst. They had +no energy to think of the future. It took all their strength just to deal +with the heat coming up off the concrete platform. + + There was a very fat man, about fifty, wearing green work pants +upheld by suspenders, a checked shirt, and glasses. He looked ready to +faint. To no one in particular he said the same thing, over and over. + + "And they tell us they could evacuate people during war or an +emergency. How could they do it? It's impossible. How could they do it? +How could they even THINK they could do it?" + + No one had an answer. + +MORE FUN COUPLES by A.P.

A quick scan of the glossy brochure turned +up boilerplate phrases like "one of these prizes has been registered in your +name", "quiet retreat", "luxurious surroundings", "easy terms", and +"congenial company." + + I was ready to toss the third-class mailing into the trash, when I +noticed a boldface injunction at the bottom of the text: + + ONLY SF WRITERS NEED APPLY + + I was bemused. Was this some kind of inclusive self-segregation, the +obverse of the warning NO IRISH NEED APPLY, earlier in this century? What +kind of "community" was this brochure advertising? Reading more closely, I +was astonished to discover -- + + But let me jump directly to my firsthand experiences at SHARE-A-WORLD +KAMPS, INC. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Bigg & Slymi, Korporate +Publishers). + + I pulled up in my rented car to the locked gate in the razor-wire-topped +fence surrounding the sylvan acreage high in the Adirondacks. Beyond the +chainlink barrier, I could see scattered rustic buildings, reminiscent of +those in a Boy Scout camp. As soon as I stepped from my car, a woman emerged +from the security booth outside the enclosure. She wore a coiled whip at her +belt. + + "Hello," she said pleasantly enough. "Can I help you?" + + I flourished the ad that had drawn me there, and explained that I was +interested in seeing the accomodations and activities described therein. + + The woman scrutinized me closely. "Are you an SF writer? I don't +recognize your face." + + I recited my modest credits. + + "Oh, I suppose you'll do," she grudgingly conceded. "Just leave your car +there -- no one will bother it." + + I could easily believe that: the place seemed deader than the latest +Heinlein novel. Still, I pocketed my car keys. + + Once inside, the woman locked the gate behind us. I thought then to ask +her name. She introduced herslef with the name of a Famous Editor, which I +won't use here. Let's just call her "The Dominatrix." + + "So," I said, trying to ingratiate myself, "this is the place where all +those shared-universe anthologies and novels come from. It seems hard to +believe -- " + + "This is the place," she replied. "We do everything right here, from +brainstorming the parameters of the shared universe -- characters, locales, +physical laws, whatever -- right down to fabricating the actual wordage +required to fill up a volume. We can turn out something as big and glossy as +MEDEA, or as cheap and tinny as HEROES IN HELL." + + "Fascinating," I lied. The absence of visible activity was starting to +get on my nerves. The place seemed suddenly less like a summer camp and more +like a POW camp. I imagined I could hear chipper Limeys whistling "Bridge on +the River Kwai." + + "What would you like to see first?" she asked. + + "Uh, how about the Parameter Fabrication Plant?" + + The Dominatrix led me to a log building without screens or doors. +Inside, chained to wooden benches, sat a corps of failed Ph.D's from various +disciplines, whose duty it was to concoct hare-brained anthropological, +botanical, sociological, mythological, stellar, etc. gimmicks which could +form the basis for a Shared World Series. All were typing busily into +networked word-processors. + + "We use only the latest equipment," said the Dominatrix. "And if their +ideas aren't stale enough, we can even run them through special software that +will mix in a few old proven concepts from the days of Twayne Triplets." + + "Wonderful. And the writers can tap into these guidelines from their +own terminals -- ?" + + "You've got it. Let's peek in on them." + + In a similar building, under similar conditions, sat dozens of writers, +laboriously pecking away. Not one bothered to look up when we entered, so +apathetic were they, so eager to achieve the Kamp Kwota, which the Dominatrix +informed me was set at a modest 10,000 words per day. Over the hunched +shoulders of the scriveners, I read snatches of Shared-Universal Prose: +endless tedious lines about thieves, rock 'n' roll elves, fuxes, dead heroes, +and wizards. + + My guide had stepped away to crack her whip over a writer who had slowed +up from exhaustion. I took the opportunity to question one of the poor +wretches. + + "Don't you hate and abhor with all your soul the idea of subordinating +your own imagination and skills to some marketing concept aimed at +twelve-year-olds?" + + "Say wha?" he replied, and I knew the pitiful drudge was nearly +brain-dead. + + The Dominatrix returned and led me outside. "So, are you interested?" + + I stalled for time as I strolled back toward the gate and freedom. + + "What's the advance and royalty rate?" + + "Advance? Royalties? There's nothing like that. Room and board is it. +You're doing this to establish your name in the public eye, and for the +'fun.'" She looked me up and down witheringly. "And believe me, someone of +your insignificant bibliography could really benefit by this." + + We were now at the gate. "Uh, great, I'll sign on. But I left my +favorite fountain pen in the car -- " + + A tremor in my voice must have betrayed my real intentions. "That's +okay," she countered, "I've got a pen." + + I hit the fence four feet up, clawing for the top. + + I lost the seat of my pants on the razor-wire, and one earlobe to the +Dominatrix's whip, but I was roaring off down the alpine rutted road before +she could stop me. + + I counted myself lucky to escape at all. + +IT'S A WYLDE, WYLDE LIFE + + Among all the new writers receiving extravagant praise, I have yet to +see the name of Thomas Wylde.

I was knocked ass over teakettle, and rendered more +unconscious than usual. + + When I came to, lying amid the flaking pulp, I was mysteriously moved to +open the April 1977 issue of ANALOG, which I had never previously read. In +"The Reference Library," then being manhandled by Lester del Rey, I +encountered the following: + + "UNEARTH (issue #1) is not at all recommended. + + "This should have been expected. The whole idea of a magazine by +previously unpublished writers is wrong. The other magazines pay far better +and offer more prestige. Any new writer with a good story is going to try +for the better markets first, as a rule. What's left, since all magazines of +science fiction welcome new writers, won't have much to offer." + + Besides being pissed that my own story -- my first fiction sale -- which +was included in UNEARTH #1 wasn't even thought worthy of specific +denigration, I was struck by the whole asininity, the smarmy elitism, of del +Rey's argument, and how history has proved him wrong. + + Let's look first at the utter illogic of what del Rey was saying. + + The field needs markets, of whatever sort. One has only to read +Malzberg's essay "Memoir from Grub Street" -- wherein he calculates, based on +personal editorial experience, that there are hundreds of publishable stories +going unprinted every month -- to realize that there simply aren't enough +empty slots for all worthy contenders. To lambaste a magazine simply because +it specialized in "first sales" is abysmally stupid. (And remember that +UNEARTH's stated policy was always to publish future works by those it +"discovered," so that it hardly differed, in the end, from the other mags). + + Putting aside this paper tiger, let's look at how UNEARTH is beginning +to shape up in the eyes of history. After all, it's been ten years now. + + Folks, this is the really sweet part! Have a gander at this list of +authors initially published by the magazine del Rey turned thumbs down on. + + My name leads because I am the sole survivor of issue #1: Di Filippo, +Blaylock, Sucharitkul, Gibson, and Rucker. Not a bad little roster, in my +book. Now, admittedly, these folks would probably have gone on to be +published without UNEARTH. But the plain historical fact is that UNEARTH was +there and got 'em first, for which service we are forever indebted to it. + + Just to twist the knife a little, let's make a completely arbitrary, +biased, and slanted comparison of the list above with the names of the +nonestablished writers published in the April '77 ANALOG: Robert Freitas, +George Ewing, Stephen Leigh, Roy Prosterman, Bernard Deitchman. + + What a fuckin' joke! By any objective measure, ANALOG should be +retroactively closed down, and UNEARTH resurrected with a million-dollar +budget! But of course, I am not going to argue that, since it's contrary to +my first point: the more markets, the better. I'd have to be as +hog-ignorant as del Rey to do it. + + All of which brings me to the point alluded to in the title of this +article. Every literary judgement is conditional. We never know nuthin' +fersure until history casts the final ballot. Melville was dead and +out-of-print until some keen-eyed twentieth-century critics were turned on to +him and turned on others.

I realize writers must eat +and pay the rent. 2). I have never been offered such a job, and might have +a sour-grapes attitude, altho I doubt it. 3). I have no right to run Mr. +Wylde's career. + + With that out of the way, let me say: This still sucks. + + The fact that a marvelous new writer has an easier time debuting as part +of someone else's pre-packaged line is disgusting.

Should not every work of art be a self-defined representation of +some 'real' or 'imaginary' world? The anchors of art must be things other +than art itself, once could argue. What good does it do for one work of art +to refer to another? It smacks of incest and idle games, the pastime of +pedants or bookworms, who have no other referents than words. + + In addition, the Puritan work-ethic makes allusion seem like theft. +A writer "borrows" or "steals" another's words and incorporates them into his +own text, thus getting something for nothing. + + I maintain that these criticisms of allusion are baseless. Allusion +serves a worthwhile purpose in art. Sure, like any technique, it can be +overdone. But handled correctly, it is an invaluable tool. + + The confusion stems from a misperception of the role of art in +society. + + Just as man is part of nature, so is art a part of society and +culture. The man/nature dichotomy and the art/life dichotomy are both false. +There has never been a society without art. As Steely Dan sez of +prehistoric cave paintings, "They put it on the wall/ Before there was even +any Hollywood." (Trivia quiz: What recent SF novel opens with an allusion to +this song? Answer: PALIMPSESTS.) + + To refer to a previous work of art in a new one is, then, no more +'decadent' or 'effete' than it is to refer to, say, a car or a house, two +other manmade objects. + + Let us examine the positive potential of allusion. Allusion +attempts to secure for the new work a vital link to the past. Allusion +embeds a work in the vast matrix of art that already exists. Allusion adds +resonance. Allusion acts as a kind of shorthand, where one phrase can +conjure up a whole book, whose remembered meanings interact with those of the +current text. + + SF is a genre where allusion in one way flourishes and in another is +hardly used at all. The sharing of common invented terms and concepts among +different authors is a kind of primitive but useful allusion, which gives SF +much of its strength. But in the sense of aligning itself with the vast +corpus of world literature, SF hardly uses allusion, and is the poorer for +it. + + But what, in the standardless era, does one meaningfully allude to? + + Prior to this century, writers assumed that their readers were of an +elite stratum and had common knowledge of officially sanctioned classic +texts. Allusions to the Bible, Shakespeare, and Greek and Roman authors could +be made with assurance. But Horace and Seneca do not have high recognition +factors nowadays. + + This is not to totally foreclose the option of alluding to more +modern texts. Roger Zelazny can title a story "...And Call Me Conrad" and +confidently expect most people to hear an echo of Melville, if only the +Classic Comics version. + + However, one must allude to that which can be recognized. What can +replace the old standards, though? + + My proposal is pop music. Specifically, rock 'n' roll. I contend +that today, thirty-plus years after the birth of rock, the music forms a +coherent, recognizable, rich and multiplex canon to which fruitful allusion +can be made. + + Without further theorizing, here are three examples. + + (1) "His calves aching, using branches and boulders to pull himself +up the last few nearly vertical yards of the trail, he finally hauled his +weary body onto the ledge that represented the highest peak in the whole +range. The view was awesome, the corrugated earth spreading away to the +horizon. Dawn broke. "Every mountain and hill shall be made +low...." + + (2) "His calves aching, using branches and boulders to pull himself +up the last few nearly vertical yards of the trail, he finally hauled his +weary body onto the ledge that represented the highest peak in the whole +range. The view was awesome, the corrugated earth spreading away to the +horizon. Dawn broke. "Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day +stands tiptoe on the misty mountaintops..." + + (3) "His calves aching, using branches and boulders to pull himself +up the last few nearly vertical yards of the trail, he finally hauled his +weary body onto the ledge that represented the highest peak in the whole +range. The view was awesome, the corrugated earth spreading away to the +horizon. Dawn broke. "Ain't no mountain high enough, baby, cuz I +chop them down with the side of my hand!" + + See how easily the third allusion fits in the natural niche occupied +by a Biblical phrase or a couplet of Shakespeare's. + + Alluding to rock lyrics imparts a modern tone, something SF sorely +lacks. Admittedly, one cannot believably have intergalactic adventurers of +the year 10,000 A.D. quoting Dylan. However, many overly pompous and +tight-ass stories would benefit by the injection of a little rock anarchism. +Alluding to rock actually precludes certain unhealthy modes of writing. + + I cannot imagine anyone succeeding in writing a novel of Star Wars +techno-fascism bolstered with rock lyrics. + + "General Lardpants smashed his fist on the desk and began to shout +at his aide. 'Goddamn it! do you mean to tell me that the lily-livered 120th +Congress has again failed to vote for our orbiting PX's, without which our +boys on space-station duty cannot buy their smokes! Hey, you, get offa my +cloud! You can't always get what you want, but I'm damned well gonna get +what I need! It's gonna be nineteenth nervous breakdown for someone, by +Jove!'" + + Utterly impossible, except as farce. + + Please note that allusion is more than simply mentioning a song by +title or artist. This technique is a copout, the Ann Beattie School of Cheap +Touchstones. One must do more than merely write: + + "They walked down the street; a Stones song issued from a passing +car." + + No, actual lyrics must be incorporated -- almost as found objects -- +directly into the flow of the narrative.

I suppose I +would save in postage -- i.e., I could mail ten pages of text instead of five +for 22 cents. But do I -- does anyone? -- really have ten pages worth of +opinion every month? Simplify, simplify! + + As for the corner staple: ever since the PLAYBOY centerfold lost her +staples, a vital element of mystery has fled our sad culture.

People don't want the new and untried -- they want the same old +crap, over and over. +-- For the other side of this issue, read on. + +TERRY CARR: For one thing, the quotation from Lester del Rey was simply a +restatement of something that's been said often and often in fan circles for +forty years or more, to the effect that fanzines (or semiprozines like +UNEARTH) shouldn't publish SF stories by amateurs because there have always +been enough professional markets for good SF stories and even bad SF stories. + + (Pause a moment and think of how many stories you've read in the +professional SF magazines that were just plain lousy. If all the +professional editors rejected a story -- even today there are still enough +editors to ensure that despite the personal preferences of each, any good +story will find a buyer -- then that story must be pretty bad indeed.) + + Thus, as Lester recapitulated the argument, the stories that get +submitted to fanzines or semiprozines whose rates are negligible, usually +about 1/4 cent a word, are those that fall below the measure of quality that +even a pro editor faced with a deadline two days hence would have to observe. + + So I think it's clear that the stories published in UNEARTH or any +other not-fully-professional magazine have almost always been the dregs left +over from the professional magazines and books. I have to say that I'm not +particularly impressed by your list of authors whose first stories were +published in UNEARTH, because though all the writers you named have gone on +to establish good and sometimes spectacular reputations with their +professionally published stories, that doesn't guarantee that their first +mini-sales were worth a damn or deserved to be published. + + I think the truth is that those early stories just weren't worth +professional publication because the writers hadn't developed their talents +enough yet for the big league. + +I could name you dozens of authors who are now in the Big Name +bracket whose first stories appeared in fanzines: Clarke, Bradbury, +Silverberg, Benford, Zelazny, Brunner, Ellison, and a whole lot more. For +that matter, my own early stories, written when I was thirteen or fourteen +years old, appeared in fanzines. I assure you that they were all pretty +terrible. + + But since even this mini-list includes writers better than those +whose early stories appeared in UNEARTH, and since those early publications +by writers who are now famous were so bad, you can see why I'm not impressed +by your list of authors in UNEARTH. I think the truth is that professional +editors, considered as a group rather than individually (we all have our +blind spots), will always buy any sf or fantasy story that's even reasonably +good; therefore the stories that appear in less-than-professional markets are +seldom if ever worth reading. + + Your claim that 'the field needs more markets, of whatever sort' +thus strikes me as pretty silly. If you seriously consider the history of SF +magazines and such, you won't be able to help noticing that when we had +twenty or thirty SF magazines, as we did in the early 40s and early 50s, most +of the stories that got published in them just plain stank. So do we really +need more SF markets now? Well, I think it might be good if we had one or +two more, just to add to the variety of published SF and fantasy; but if the +short SF market were ever again to expand into the twenties or even the +teens, I'm sure there'd be so many odoriferous stories published that they'd +cause readers to stop buying all SF magazines, and then where would we be? +TERRY CARR. + + + +-- A few cavils (I'm sure readers will be supplying more): + +(1). The alternative to working out one's beginning-writer faults in the +short story market is working out one's faults in the novel market, something +we see quite frequently nowadays, as fledgling writers, untempered by +previous sales, produce hand-handed first efforts. It seems to me that a bad +novel would turn off more people to SF than a bad story, leaving a +longer-lasting and bigger foul taste. + +(2). Many critics (Aldiss, Malzberg) fell the Fifties were the real golden +age of SF, and can cite works to prove it. Perhaps the "glut" of mags was +partly responsible. + +(3). Again, in the Fifties, someone like Dick could at least make a +(horsemeat-level) living off the mags, which is impossible now. What if one +wants to be a full-time writer without producing novels, temporarily or +permanently? More mags would allow this. + +(4). Magazines are the cutting edge, short experiments being more likely to +get published than long ones. The fewer the mags, the duller the edge. I +still say: Let a hundred flowers bloom, and let history sort 'em +out! + +------------------------------------------------------------------------ +ASTRAL AVENUE No. 6 Paul Di Filippo 2 Poplar Street Providence RI 02906 + diff --git a/textfiles.com/magazines/ASTRAL/astral7.txt b/textfiles.com/magazines/ASTRAL/astral7.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f481aa13 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/magazines/ASTRAL/astral7.txt @@ -0,0 +1,520 @@ + +If you weren't reading this, chances are you'd be reading something else. + +************** ASTRAL AVENUE ************** May 1987 No. 7 + +THE PUBLISHER'S DESK a personal chat with our readers by mr munsey + +"If I couldn't write worth a damn, I think I'd like to own a hardware store. +I've long been fascinated by the enormous varieties of tools used to maintain +our society, as well as the clips, hinges, pins, brads, screws, pulleys, +wires, chains, clamps and pipes that hold it together.

First, there was Cathy. + +CATHY (on videotape): Well, I've just sold my first novel, entitled THE +UNICORN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE.... + +CW: Next was Bill. + +BILL (on videotape): My latest novel, TREMENDOUS CATACLYSM THAT NEARLY WIPES +OUT HUMANITY, has just gone back for a third printing before its publication +date... + +CW: And finally, there was Helen. + +HELEN (on videotape): I've only sold three stories so far, but one's been +anthologized in every best-of-the-year collection whose editor I've +personally met. + +CW: Well, audience, you've seen who Joe had to pick from. Lock in your +votes, and when we return, we'll see who he actually chose for his "Literary +Love Connection." + + + +CW: We're back. All right, Joe, tell us who you picked. + +JS: Needless to say, I chose Bill. + +AUDIENCE: Yaaaaayyy! + +CW: Let's bring Bill in on this, as we hear about his submission. (Window +opens up, featuring Bill, live.) + +CW: Hi, Bill. Make yourself comfortable, and jump in if there's anything +you want to "contribute," ha-ha. + +BILL: Sure. + +JS: Well, I was very eager to meet Bill. I had read his novel, and it was +just the kind of thing I was looking for. I was a little disappointed when he +actually showed up at my office. + +CW: Why is that, Joe? + +JS: Well, he was two hours late for our appointment, and drunk to boot. His +publisher had been feeding him booze at Elaine's while I sweated in my +windowless office. On top of that, I had been expecting Bill to look and act +like one of Heinlein's "competent men," so we could tout him to our readers +in our monthly biographical feature. Instead, he was timid and built like a +schmoo. Now I know why he never lets any publicity pictures appear on his +books. + +AUDIENCE: Whoooooaaaa! + +BILL: Chuck, I don't think that's a fair comment. A writer's appearance has +nothing to do with his or her work. + +CW: Boy, is that a naive comment! Haven't you seen John Irving in wrestling +duds lately? + +JS: Anyway, I was prepared to overlook all that. But the manuscript Bill +brought me was just the final straw. It was dog-eared and coffee-stained, +and must have been in a drawer since before Bill was first published. These +novelists all think they're too good to write short stories. Let me tell +them all now, it's not easy to cram ten pages of technical exposition into a +twenty-page novella. In any case, Bill's story was a total loser. I had to +bounce it right then and there. It was downright embarrassing for both of +us. + +BILL: I've been busy on a publicity tour lately.... + +CW: No excuses, Bill. So, Joe, I take it we didn't make a "Literary Love +Connection?" + +JS: No, I'm afraid not. + +CW: Let's see who the audience picked for you.... Why, it was Helen, at 60 +percent! Well, Joe, if you want to see a story from Helen, we'll pay for a +donut and endless cup of coffee for the both of you, at the local coffee-shop +near your office. + +JS: What have I got to lose? She may not have a Ph.D. in physics, but she's +young and malleable -- + +CW: Great. And Bill, you can console yourself with your top spot on the +best-seller lists. Well, I'm afraid we're out of time for tonight, folks. +Tune in tomorrow, when we try to make and agent-author "Literary Love +Connection!" + +AUDIENCE: (Applause, hoots, catcalls, whistles.) + +********** + +ANOTHER REASON NOT TO ATTEND THE NEBULAS + + "March 8, 1914: After ingesting a toothpick along with an hors d'oeuvre +at a cocktail party, Sherwood Anderson, 64, died in Colon, Panama, of the +complications of peritonitis." -- A LITERARY BOOK OF DAYS. + +THIS MONTH'S MAXIM: You can't spell "literary" without "lite." + +HOT TIP!!!! Every reader of discernment should rush out and lay hands on a +copy of LOVING LITTLE EGYPT, by Thomas McMahon.

That's +the word I woke up with in my head yesterday or was it Belgium. Once my +college friend, and later Viet Vet, Don Marritz, wrote me a letter that +starts... uh.... "Dear Rudy and Sylvia, Of all possible ways to start a +letter, THIS is probably the worst..." + + When I was at Seacon in Brighton, etc., some guys -- I mean real Brit +punks -- are yelling at me, sitting on the hotel porch and... now right in +this period I was reading A SCANNER DARKLY... uh, yesterday my dog winked at +me // my piles just dies // trucked in from Toledo // gosh you're a lovely +audience. + + Broadway Danny Rose. What a great movie. Woody, he gives... uh... +short weight, you dig, B&W and you get out 20 mins. earlier than the kids who +are... uh... seeing FOOTLOOSE. + + Recently I did some library research -- and that's really what I'd like +this column to be, viz., a sharing of the facts that I glean in my diffuse, +but wide-ranging investigations. What's in it for me? Hopefully (and I do +mean "hopefully," which is as much an authentic U.S. word as... uh... NET +BLOWAGE), hopefully this totally lame sentence will end. Yes! + + Yeah... uh... I found this book in the library, the Lynchburg (called +L'burg for short)... uh... library and I looked up Ike's memoirs. AT EASE: +STORIES I TELL TO MY FRIENDS. Yeah. I had this rap... a running joke, like, +that I'd been telling my stories to... uh... friends. OK, now the idea was +that I'm writing the story of my life -- I was working on it, a novel that +I'm now working on (SHOP TALK! YES!) it's called THE SECRET OF LIFE. It's +basically a UFO novel. I feel, by the way, that it's high time for a lot of +UFO novels. The virtue of this form is that one has as many aliens as one +needs (rival races of saucer-aliens fight it out on Earth) without having to +HAUL ALL THAT SHIT THROUGH ALL THEM LIGHT-YEARS. + + "Where's the UFOlogy section?" was the question that one of those fabled +Brit punks axed me back a page or piece (hyuck-hyuck)/cut/RESET yeah really +I mean someone did once say the word UFOlogy to me and I understood him, so +instead of killing me, he went in and got evicted by the dicks. Hotel. + + OK, now Ike's memoirs. I was telling my friend Greg Gibson (who runs a +wonderful book-store called The Ten Pound Island Book Shop in Gloucester, +Mass., tell "Gib" you know me and he's liable to treat you to a real "Down +East" hoedown. Or is it clambake? Actually, he might kill you. No, really, +it's a nice shop.) Greg and I roomed together in college, and we were great +admirers of Jack and the Beats. I'd always wanted to write a book like ON +THE ROAD. And the way Jack actually did it was to get a teletype roll +(photographs exist!) and.. uh... put it in his typewriter and go on and on +and not have to be subject to the tyranny of the PAGE. (Of course, now a +scrolling word-processor is just such a piece of "paper." It seems likely to +change the texture of commercial prose. Or lead to a great artistic advance. +Whatever.) + + Right. Now I want to finish this story. The one thing, I mean, I think +the FAIR thing to the readers of this column is that whenever I begin a story +I will eventually finish it within the body of the piece -- modulo, of +course, considerations of artistic polish and natural reticence. AT EASE: +STORIES I TELL TO MY FRIENDS, by Dwight David Eisenhower. We're talking +actual fucking library research here. I get the book, and it's wonderfully +greasy. The cover crinkling in the light and all covered with SEBUM (which +is the scientific name for the skin grease that humans ooze, q.v. T. Pynchon, +"...covering everything with an offensive coat of sebum.") sebum... yeah. +Ike. In... uh.... DESOLATION ANGELS, I guess, Jack is down in Mexico City +and living downstairs from some guy called "Old Ike the Pusher." In college, +Greg was a big jogger. He ran before any of the others. He had a rap: how, +when he was running and it hurt first so his lungs were falling out, then the +legs and the liver, the thing to cheer himself up was to think of "Old Ike +the Pusher." + + I like Ike, but does Ike like me? + + RIGHT! OK. Now what I was telling Greg when I was working up my psych +to write another book, was this idea that Ike's AT EASE should be a cult +classic, a book that any "true communicant" must have at least a nodding +acquaintance with... a book of the stature of Jean-Paul Sartre's NAUSEA, +perhaps (which I'll get back to next issue). OK, now it's a FUNNY idea that +AT EASE should be a good book. I mean it's an interesting idea, and one +wants it to be true. For years I laughed about the title. I remember once +saying, blown away at Don Marritz's wedding in Gettysburg, "AT EASE: STORIES +I TELL TO MY FRIENDS, what an incredibly feeble title, I mean, it's like a +LIMP DICK, at ease, yet...." + + But yet. So the running joke I had with Greg was that... uh... my rap +about my book when I'm trying to up the... uh... net blowage or some shit... +uh... "If I have only begun to approach the transcendant clarity of 'Ike' in +his immortal..." Yeah. Right. So I'm at the Lynchburg Public Sebum and I +do find Ike's book. This is like one day I'm too burnt-out to write... but +I've still got my JOB to do, a type of behavior to exhibit -- as opposed to +watching..uh.. basketball games. And I'm thinking, "Well, maybe today I'm +not going to write much, but hell, it's only Monday or Tuesday. I like Ike!" + + And plan to gut it for good quotes, right. + + And go in there... past the... uh... sebum, and, uh... + + ..uh... + + Well, there's not much of what you might call fine writing. I did find +two or three interesting things. He calls the intro by the line, "A Man +Talking To Himself." And is here, a voice in yer ear, via DICTAPHONE. Poor +guy couldn't type, I guess... + + Anyway, he had a big dick. That's the one heretofore subtextual +transrealist fact that I ferreted out. I mean... MAYBE. Larry Flynt has +been an example to us all. I used to have a rap that Larry Flynt was the +Martin Luther King of the Seventies. I'm glad the Seventies are over. +Disco, Jerry F., it all fades. "Only real people survive," Henry was telling +me the other night. Henry and his wife Diana own 2 ladies' clothing stores. +Henry and I got into this rap about "net blowage." It's a phrase that came +to me a few days ago, out of nowhere, you know, the Muse sits on your face. +Ups the net blowage. They're about to start a City Council election here and +we were grooving off making 'the net amount of on-line blowage' a like major +issue. + + The wrap-up. UFOlogy. It's heavy and worth thinking about. I don't +know if I would have ever fully gotten into SF if I hadn't read Ian Watson's +MIRACLE VISITORS. Which, in turn, draws a lot of energy from C.G. Jung's +FLYING SAUCERS, subtitle: "A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies." + + Oh yeah, and why Ike had a big dick. Well, he was a real scapegrace at +West Point, always in trouble. Sometimes he even reported himself if nobody +else would bother. Genial. So the officer says, "Come down to my room in +dress-coats for punishment-duty-tour." It was Ike and his roommate, supposed +to report. And the PRANK is that they only wear the special dress-coats and +not the (expected) rest of the uniform, no not anything else, "not another +stitch." So all I'm saying is, if Ike had the (dick and) balls to do the +prank he must have been pretty well-adjusted or had a humongo dong.... one! + + Well that's it. Next ish: NAUSEA by Jean-Paul Sartre, and THE BOOK OF +THE SUBGENIUS. + + +******** +CURRENT NEWS AND VIEWS +Science Isn't Supposed To Be Entertaining + +From BORIS ZAVGORODNY: I received your two envelopes with your zine, ASTRAL +AVENUE. Thank you very much! + +From ROB MILLER: I suspect editors of prozines publish bad stories because +a) they think they are good; b) take big and/or known names to increase +sales; c) are similar to other popular stories, themes and authors; d) are +trendy. + + I think Carr's statement is as bad as his collections of stories are +good. + +From DON WEBB: Allusion to R-n-R is a tricky business. According to Gardner +Dozois, publishers of rock lyrics are the most likely to sue. + + I would rather watch Red Foxx have sex with Nancy Reagan. + +From LEWIS SHINER: Terry Carr's letter in AA#6 was not only fatuous, +self-serving crap, it also managed to contradict itself. His statement that +"professional editors... will always buy any sf or fantasy story that's even +reasonably good" is pure bullshit. I have read many good stories that were +rejected by every editor in the field. Why? Because the author was not yet a +Recognized Name. If any editor tells me they read a story out of the slush +pile the same way they read a story from a Big Name Pro, I would have to +politely suggest that they are lying through their teeth. + + Furthermore, Terry does not seem to have read any of the UNEARTH stories +which he proceeds, nonetheless, to condemn as unfit for publication. I +myself have read at least two of them, "Fragments of a Hologram Rose" by +William Gibson and "The Red Planet" by James Blaylock, that I would rate +somewhere between first-rate and brilliant. By any standards. + + Terry may feel that Clarke, Benford, and Brunner, for example, are +"better" writers than Gibson and Blaylock and Rucker -- but I don't. + + Finally, after tellins us that every decent story written in SF is +immediately snapped up by himself or one of his fellow all-knowing, +all-seeing editors, he says maybe we should have "one or two more (markets), +just to add to the variety of published SF and fantasy." But Terry -- you've +already told us that they would only be adding worthless crap! + + I'm in a position now where I can sell pretty much everything I write. +But I remember all too well what it was like when I couldn't. It's bad +enough that writers who are just starting out are so subject to the whims of +a few editors. What really chaps my ass is when somebody like Terry Carr +thinks his personal taste is more than just that -- that he has some cosmic +handle on the good and bad, and can consign a writer's work (in some cases, +work he hasn't even read) into obscurity with a casual sneer. + + Signed, Hot under the collar.... + +From BRIAN ALDISS: You were talking about Lester del Rey and his prickish +judgements on SF. It's old history now, but some years back he tried his +hand at a history of SF, in the Garland series. It was so fatuous that even +his sycophants let it vanish without a trace. (Like he got the date of +publication of FRANKENSTEIN wrong, having cribbed it from James Gunn's +history where, by a freak of chance, it was also misprinted.) + + His book is an attempt to promote his own role in pulp SF to something +like importance -- a concept, as Moskowitz once put it in a lapidary phrase, +the mind cannot stomach. Here as a sample for toilet-side reading is just one +paragraph from del Rey's history. Try and stay awake. It's from a chapter +called "The Age of Wonder"; it certainly made me wonder what del Rey's life +can have been about: + + "In September 1932, SCIENCE FICTION DIGEST appeared, with Maurice Z. +Ingher as editor. Weisinger and Schwartz were now joined by Raymond A. +Palmer as associate or managing editors. This publication had a set of +departments somewhat similar to those of THE TIME TRAVELLER. But one of the +more interesting bits was a column speculating on just who Anthony Gilmore +might be..." + + Personally, I'm still wondering. + +From MICHAEL SWANWICK: I read with interest your article in AA#5 on the use +of allusion. You should be aware, however, that many editors will reject any +story that includes a direct quote of rock song lyrics. This is because the +corporate entities responsible for collecting song royalties are notoriously +litiginous, and most science fiction publishers are afraid of lawsuits. + + -- Two people raising this point requires me to answer. I don't see +Ace being sued for the aforementioned Steely Dan reference in PALIMPSESTS, +and I refuse to believe that there is some corporate hireling sitting in an +office somewhere, who has all the lyrics of all his company's artists +memorized and is reading every piece of fiction published, his vibrissae +quivering for quotes, especially not if they are embedded as found objects +right in the text, without citation. + +From JANET FOX: I've heard (Carr) saying the same thing, long and loud, +before.... Money does not confer literary perspicacity. + +From DAVID D'AMMASSA: Many white Democrats would love the opportunity to +have sex with Ronald Reagan. Who could pass up the invitation to do to the +President what he's been doing to the country for years? + +From LUKE McGUFF: Terry's argument as he states it is circular and +irrefutable. Good stories get published in pro magazines, bad stories don't. + QED. But to invalidate this argument, all you have to do is point to a good +story in a semipro market, or a bad story in a pro market. As he states it, +it's impossible to have a bad story in a pro market, and impossible to have a +good story in a semipro market. + + The SF market is shifting from adventurousness to wish-fulfillment. If +you look at the Christmas catalog for B. Dalton's, the only SF books they +list come in boxed sets, as serials or novels by Heinlein.... + +From MISHA CHOCHOLAK: I thought your allusion article was good. It's real +dull for a writer to use a nice literary allusion and have everybody miss +it.... + + As far as Terry Carr is concerned, well the quality short story stuff is +pure bunko. Very few main house publishers look for quality any more, they +just publish for bucks. + +From BRETT RUTHERFORD: I, for one, as both reader and writer, would like to +cast a vote against the incorporation of rock and popular song lyrics in +fiction. This may seem to establish an easy, "fuzzy" feeling of camaraderie +between writer and some readers, but in the long run, this is a lazy and +hazardous way to enrich one's writing. + + First of all, there is the pop-culture bias shown by the author who +blithely assumes that all his readers -- or the only ones who matter -- know +exactly what he's talking about when he quotes or alludes to his favorite +music. And, since all of us dream and hope that we'll be read twenty or +fifty years from now, we're also making the assumptions about the future.... + + It is easy to assume that the stuff that fills the airwaves and crams +the shelves of the record stores represents the zeitgeist of contemporary +culture. Such assumptions can be disastrously wrong.... Mackay, in his +EXTRAORDINARY POPULAR DELUSIONS AND THE MADNESS OF CROWDS, has an +illuminating chapter about how songs and phrases come and go. They are foam +on the waves of culture. How many popular tunes of the 1880's can you hum or +quote words from?.... + + Writers must also recognize that there are millions of readers out there +of all ages -- even members of the Sixties and Seventies generations -- who +loathe popular music, never listen to it, and find quotations of its badly +crafted lyrics to be annoying, cryptic, and meaningless.... + + Finally, rock and song lyrics, by their very nature and because of the +limited IQs of most performers, are generally inept as poems and regressive +if not Neanderthal in content... Quoting rock lyrics in fiction is like +putting vinyl siding on the Taj Mahal. + +******** AND THEY SAY SCIENTISTS HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOR + + A counter-theory to the recent speculations about a Fifth Force is +called the "Chu-Dicke hypothesis." + +********** LIFE IMITATES PROPAGANDA + + Phillip Knightley, in his book THE SECOND OLDEST PROFESSION, maintains +that the first modern intelligence service, the British SIS (and consequently +all subsequent ones) was founded in 1909 in direct response to a William +LeQueux novel!

The +kicker is: the meeting will be held on the ASTRAL PLANE. + + We will choose some very famous natural landmark, & invite everyone to +project their AETHERIAL DOUBLES thence simultaneously at some appropriate +moment. Say for example Niagara Falls at noon on the Summer Solstice 1987: +take a photo or postcard of the Falls, concentrate on it, imagine yourself +transported there in a flash. Create an archetypal visionary appearance for +yourself; perform some magical or artistic act or make a speech; then +concentrate on the OTHER people present in their astral bodies. + + Stay as long as you can (up to, say, an hour). Yael D., as our most +accomplished magician, will remain on-site for the full hour to help +neophytes, pass out spiritual refreshments & emcee the Convention +proceedings. Early in the hour we'll present our set-pieces; towards the +end, things will degenerate toward pure partying. (Bring astral +intoxicants.) + + Then, by one PM at the latest, return to your bodies (by the way, be +sure you can leave them safely, apparently asleep & undisturbed, for the full +period). At once, upon yr return, write (or record graphically) an account +of your experiences. Send them to Yael or me. We will prepare a PROCEEDINGS +(or "Akashic Record") of the Convention, which will be published & sent to +all participants. + + Before we announce a definite time & place, we'd like to hear from AT +LEAST a dozen or so friends who WILL attend. Please offer suggestions about +ideal location and time. An important point: how do we synchronize our +appearances so as to arrive (possibly from all over the world) within the +appointed hour? Sample invocations & techniques for easy astral travel would +be welcome. When all details have been ironed out, we will publish an Open +Invitation, maybe in POPULAR REALITY &/or elsewhere; & also send out specific +invitations. We'll provide, if possible, photos & maps needed for +vizualization of the Convention site. + + We MAY be able to erect, on the site, some sort of astral beacon, +perhaps even an aedefice of appropriate appearance... in the form of a shabby +vacation hotel which hosts firemens' conventions & dreary little Chamber of +Commerce events...? Maybe a Holiday Inn? Or would you prefer a real +Hollywood/Baghdad/Opium-Dream pavilion in the clouds?

Cherryh WILDER + +IF "If This Goes On" GOES ON + + Conventional wisdom dictates that all SF stories can be divided into +three classes: "what if," "why not," and "if this goes on." Let's assume +momentarily that conventional wisdom -- for once -- is right. I'd like to +look at this last category of story, examining its strengths and weaknesses, +and its current stature in the field. + + Last item first. I don't believe most people would dispute that the +"If This Goes On" (hereafter, ITGO) type of story is in the ascendant right +now, thanks primarily to the works of William Gibson. The average reader, in +fact, probably conceives of the entire cyberpunk movement as an ITGO +phenomenon (a misreading Bruce Sterling has been at pains to dispute). +Although in terms of total units sold, fantasy epics and novels of half-assed +space empires outnumber the ITGO books, it is these latter works that receive +the lion's share of discussion and critical attention. + + There's good reason for this. The ITGO book holds a number of aces +in its hand. + + Realism sometims seems a dirty word among SF readers, but it's a +drug they secretly crave. And the ITGO book offers realism up the kazoo. +Done well, as in Gibson's books, the ITGO mode provides the closest sensation +available in SF to reading a contemporary mimetic novel. The reader is +convinced that he's inhabiting his actual future. She believes she's been +vouchsafed a prophetic vision of times to come. Such a powerful frisson is +not to be lightly negated. One reason ITGO books are so +convincing is that their roots are firmly planted in the present. The +Suborbital Express of Extrapolation always takes off from the Runway of the +Present. In an ITGO book, the reader encounters tokens and talismans of his +current life, which serve to anchor the new imaginative elements. + + By definition, the ITGO mode must base its projections on current +trends, actual research, logical developments. An author can highlight, +accentuate, or exaggerate certain features of the present, but -- if he plays +by the rules -- he must extrapolate from actual features of the present. +Otherwise -- as when, say, an FTL drive is introduced -- we veer into the +"what if" mode. + + Now, it is beyond any but the most niggling of disputes as to what +the current salient features of the present are: computers, biotechnology, +corporations, terrorism, ecodisaster -- stop me if any of this is starting to +sound familiar. + + The point I'm trying to make is emerging from the shadows: the ITGO +book is a sexy, reader-entrancing, stimulating exercise. But by necessity it +hews to a very narrow path. + + There is only one SF future with any real probability. (However, +this is not to maintain that Gibson or Watkin's world will necessarily come +to pass. As the mathematician Persi Diaconis has said, "Probability is not a +statement so much about what will happen, as about what I know.") + + Let me illustrate what I mean. + + In one of my notebooks is the scrawl: "Murder by industrial +waterjet." + + In COUNT ZERO, Gibson, page 60, is the phrase: "...slice pizza with +a huge industrial waterknife..." + + The future is definitely not going to revolve around industrial +hydraulic cutting mechanisms. Yet -- here are two people focusing on them. +Why? Because they are interesting, lively, credible futuristic gadgets that +serve to promote the frisson under discussion. I am willing to bet that +Gibson and I encountered these industrial tools in the same place: the pages +of SCIENCE NEWS of OMNI or SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN or THE NEW YORK TIMES SCIENCE +SECTION or SCIENCE DIGEST or HIGH TECHNOLOGY.... + + The end result of this reliance on likely developments learned about +from a shared knowledge-base (and let's face it: there are only so many +sources) is that all ITGO fiction starts to sound alike. A consensual +future, stifling of individual perceptions, begins to crystallize around the +writers like amber. + + Is there any solution to this problem? Can the desired verisilitude +and relevance be retained, while still creating a unique future? + + I believe the answer is yes. + + What is needed is a fusion of modes, namely between ITGO and "what +if." As in evolution, this hybrid will possess the strengths of both +parents, and new ones they do not have. + + The WI story has not been known for its credibility. Take a book +such as INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. What if pods from outer space landed +and began replacing humans with zombies? Well, the result might be a +suspenseful allegory about the Eisenhower era, but it just don't got the kind +of thrill we're looking for. One might as well say, what if we all turned +into rhinoceroses? It's just not gonna happen, and the reader realizes it. + + However, I believe that with a little care in the initial choosing +of the germinal improbability, and, thereafter, by a careful adherence to and +blending of strict ITGO methods, valid, germane works can be written. + + In fact it's already been done. What I'm proposing is not new. + + The names? + + Bester's DEMOLISHED MAN and TIGER, TIGER; Sterling and Shiner's +"Mozart in Mirrorshades"; Bishop's "The Quickening." + + Telepathy. Teleportation. Time travel. Random relocation. These +are all blatant impossibilities, according to our current state of knowledge. + Therefore the works cited above cannot be of ITGO narratives. Yet, once +their seminal unlikelihoods are gotten beyond, we find that they possess many +of the attractive features of ITGO, along with the novelty that comes from +"what if." To my mind, this type of story transcends both the straight ITGO +and WI modes, offering the pleasures of both, and unique ones of its own. +Its hallmark is a fusion of improbable novelty and straight-ahead +sociotechnical extrapolation, to produce futures which, despite their +underlying impossibility, are as utterly convincing -- and as wildly +delirious -- as a simstim composed by Dali. + +DO COMPOSERS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? + + "I like Philip K.

He writes: 'I have played the various roles of +hippie, bum, student, criminal, egotist, fool, lecturer, euphemism, acidhead +and writer.' He hopes to write surrealist speculative fiction.

You turn a +bend in the road -- and there it is, walls and heavy wrought-iron gates +making it inaccessible to rubberneckers. Of Byron there are plenty of local +reminders -- the Continentals love a lord. But the shades of the young +Shelleys have left no trace. Nor is there any monument to Frankenstein in +the town he inhabited. With a copy of the novel, we could follow the +monster's footsteps, and arrived eventually on the Mer de Glace, which is an +awesome sight. How well-advised Mary was to set FRANKENSTEIN in Switzerland, +that artificial state, rather than in the streets of London. + +WRITERS REVISE THEIR LIVES! + +COLIN GREENLAND: + + Recently I was coming home quite drunk, quite late one night, and I +had to wait the best part of an hour at Liverpool Street railway station, the +London terminus for my local line. Extensive rebuilding work was in progress +(still is). + + There was a man in a big mechanical excavator dipping great grabs +full of chunky masonry out of a hole in the ground, and tipping them one by +one into a relay of small dumper trucks. The truck driver would roll up in +his truck, stop and dismount (some sort of safety regulation, obviously) +while the excavator man -- neatly, almost daintily -- filled his little truck +with the next load of concrete rubble. + + The excavator man worked swiftly, with the unthinking precision that +is the soul of grace. Splintered slabs of board, entire girders he dropped +into the hoppers of those trucks with no hesitation, and no error. He barely +split a brick. Once, when he reckoned a truck was not quite in the right +spot, he lowered the grab and nudged it back a foot, like a brontosaurus +budging a rock with its nose. + + For once I didn't mind the wait for a train. I thought then that, +if I weren't a writer, I should like to be that excavator man. Who, if he +read this, would cry: "You what? Do me a favour!" (For I was quite drunk.) + + When I visited Amsterdam in 1973, I remember I had a fantasy of +living a tall house overlooking a canal. I would get up each morning at four +o'clock, and go to work in a bakery, helping to produce crusty white loaves +with soft and steamy insides, and rich, moist wholemeal. Then I would go +home to my little room and write for the rest of the day: small, quiet poems +and slender novels of pellucid symbolism. My needs would be few. This +proposition seems no less preposterous and improbable than the former. + +PHILIP JOSE FARMER + + If I could start my life over again, at the age of eighteen, I would +become a sheep farmer in the Falkland Islands.

Just a tiny dab of gel applied to the +inside of the nose delivers Vitamin B-12 directly into your system + +*************** + +BISHOP'S MOVE by Michael Bishop + + No piece of contemporary American writing since PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT +has stimulated me as much as Rudy Rucker's "Access to Tools" in the most +recent Astral Avenue. Some observations: + +1. Ws no one else struck by the fact that the author of SOFTWARE has accused +Eisenhower's title AT EASE of flaccidity? Weird. + +2. Rudy would probably enjoy the word "smegma" even more than he does the +word "sebum." (It's in Pynchon, too.) + +3. "Net blowage"? Here in Georgia, we have far greater interest in "gross +blowage," which, along with chicken stealing and buggery, is one of our more +popular prosecutable acts. But, then, the rest of the nation has always had +a tendency to sneer at our backwardness. + +4. As much as Rudy will enjoy the word "smegma", just that much will he +appreciate Vonnegut's BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS. It's a lousy novel, but one of +its endearing features is that Vonnegut tells us us the length of every male +character's penis upon first introducing him, a kindness that keeps us from +having to infer this statistic on the basis of dialogue, indirect +characterization, and/or ambiguous plot cues. (Later, Vonnegut wrote a novel +called "Deadeye Dick." I was afraid to read it.) + +5. Even so, I believe that all writers should adopt the BREAKFAST OF +CHAMPIONS expository procedure, with the proviso that they modify it by +placing all penile measurements (at ease in one column, tumescent in a +second) in an appendix. One hazard is that longer novels will often have +longer appendices, a perfectly natural development that may encourage envy +among the succinct and/or those who favor female characters. (But maybe it's +time that some OTHER appendage inspired envy anyway.) + +6. A personal confession: I have always envied the appendices of Samuel R. +Delany. Some will accuse me of racist stereotyping, but it's still a fact +that some of Delany's novels -- at least three of them -- have TWO +appendices. See Appendix B, p. 371, of FLIGHT FROM NEVERYON (Bantam 1985) +for an example of the way Chip turns Vonnegut's method upside down by SHOWING +rather than TELLING. + +7. Rudy's curiosity about the size of Ike's male member has certain, uh, +ramifications for American presidential politics -- i.e., in the future, +"full disclosure" need not apply only to a candidate's financial condition. +(Female candidates, by the way, have ALWAYS been more up front about their +all-important physical attributes than men, especially when the office they +are running for is Miss America.) + +8. Meanwhile, remember Big Ike's immortal words on this very topic: "Things +are more like they are today than they have ever been before." + +9. Good clean frivolity is always hard to come by, but inanity of the +caliber of 'Access to Tools' is rarer yet. Even if he is the author of a +book called SOFTWARE, I hope Rudy can keep it up. + +LIFE'S A BEACH + +(photo) + +Gregory Benford, Marc Laidlaw and Richard Kadrey (l-r), photographed at +Freestyle Con I, held last weekend on the North Shore of Oahu.

We know a surefire way to make a heap of cash, +but are lacking a certain element of success. + + What we're talking about is writing the screenplay for the +inevitable movie of the Iran-Contra affair. Now, right now, before some +Hollywood hack beats us to the punch. + + First, we need a title. Can't sell a movie without a socko title. +And we bogged down at CITIZEN SECORD. + + Second, we have to have some Superstars lined up to convince the +studio of the commercial potential of this dog. One again, our imagination +supplies Jonathan Winters as Ed Meese, but rolls over and plays dead from +then on. + + Can't you help us with your suggestions? + + C'mon! We've even bought our tux for Oscar Nite. + +DEPARTMENT OF AMPLIFICATIONS + + Some of you probably wondered who I was referring to in the last +issue when I said: "Gibson's or Watkins' worlds." In my haste, I confused +two names: Walter Jon Williams and William Jon Watkins. Obviously, Williams +was intended. That's "Williams" as in surname. Don't know how I could have +mixed up two such dissimilar names anyway. Please forgive me for confusing +two such stellar luminaries of our pocket universe. + + This is not the only time I've done such a thing. When I was about +eight or nine, I kept getting "retinal" and "rectal" mixed up in my mind. +(Luckily, I never had occasion to use the words in conversation.) Oh, I knew +the two different meanings -- I just couldn't remember which word meant +which. + + Now, this was about the time when I discovered SF. In this period, +"retinal scanners" were a big buzzword. (Ah, whatever happened to good ol' +"retinal scanners?" They were the cyberdecks of their day once....) You can +imagine the vivid mental image conjured up by this phrase in my dyslexic +mind. I always wondered why authors never mentioned the characters dropping +trousers before getting their security check.... + + It seems I might have assembled the last issue, number 8, a little +too promiscuously, since I have received empty mailing wrappers back from the +PO. If anyone hasn't received their copy yet -- and more importantly, even +wants it -- please let me know. + +MACHIAVELLIAN LESBIANS OF OZ + + Seems to me I recently read that THE WIZARD OF OZ has been placed by +some backwoods school committee on a list of proscribed books, as being +detrimental to children. + + All I can say is: "It's about time." + + I'm sure you want to know my reasons. + + First off, I was thumbing through the NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW one +Sunday when they were running one of their special Author Symposiums. The +question this time was something like, "What book had the biggest effect on +you and your career." + + Guess what Judith Krantz's answer was? + + Yup. THE WIZARD OF OZ. She claimes it started her on her career +when she was just a liddle tyke. + + Now, if banning THE WIZ will lead to the future prevention of just a +single Judith Krantz, I, for one, am willing to chuck the whole First +Amendment, and throw in the entire ACLU. + + But this is not my primary reason for wanting to get THE WIZARD OF +OZ off the shelves of our schools, and onto the Vatican Index. I'm afraid +that Judith Krantzes will always spontaneously generate, even without this +book. No, what I'm really concerned about is the effect of Baum's book on +the whole moral fabric of our society. + + When was THE WIZARD OF OZ published? 1900. When did our +civilization start to go to hell on a poetry-cart? 1900. I don't think the +connection can be made much clearer than that. + + What exactly is it, you ask, about THE WIZ that makes it have such a +pernicious effect on the moral character of our citizens? To answer that +question, we have to consider not just the initial book, but the whole +successful, still-in-print series by Baum. (And DEL REY BOOKS has a lot to +answer for, keeping this morally bankrupt mind-rot alive under the guise of +publishing only "gee-whiz," uplifting stuff.) + + First off, Oz is elitist. It's described as an earthly paradise +where no one has to work, to which only the select few are granted admission. + Here we have a denial of the proletariat, the source of all fat-cat wealth, +one of the dominant motifs of our century. Oz equals Palm Beach. + + Second, the place is a monarchy. A sham monarchy to be sure, as +we'll see in a minute, but still ostensibly a government ruled by one person, +the "benificent" Ozma, and her cabinet. What kind of faith does than breed +in the precious flower of democracy? If paradise is a monarchy, why bother +to vote for old Senator Blowhard in the next election? + + Try graphing the decline in voter participation against the copies +of OZ books sold. You'll get a big surprise. (I sure did.) + + Thirdly, the place is constantly at war! What better paradigm for +our strife-torn century than OZ? "Nomes" to the left of us, "Hammerheads" to +the right, can't let down your guard for a minute, pump up that +military-industrial complex, boys, no sacrifice is too great. + + Let's turn now to the question of what kind of people inhabit the +upper echelons of Oz, and serve as examples of behavior to our +impressionistic youth. + + First, there's Ozma, a sex-change deviate. Spent most of her life +as a boy, before being turned into a perpetually young girl. (This place is +a paradise all right -- for pedophiles! It's swarming with Lolitas.) She is +said to be kind and generous, but is really subject to imperial whims and +fits of pique. Countered a Nome invasion by wiping out the memories of the +invaders. (Shades of 1984, a prefiguration of the mind-control that is +another thread in the rotten tapestry of our century.) + + I don't propose to dissect the vanity and capriciousness of the +lesser residents of Oz; I think these qualities stand out plainly enough. +What I would like to comment on is the insidious puppet-master behind the +whole charade. + + Glinda the "Good." + + Glinda lives in a palace attended by hundreds of nubile girls +drafted from all the willing (or unwilling?) maidens of Oz. She is +constantly to be seen fondling and kissing these girls, as are Dorothy and +Ozma, whenever they visit. (Thank God Baum had the decency to draw the +curtains on what these wild petting sessions led to!) It is frequently +stated that Glinda is Ozma's servant. Yet events belie this. Glinda is +constantly saving Ozma's tail from one dire predicament or another. She +issues orders, draws up strategies, supplies direction. Glinda, behind her +mask of servility and obedience, actually runs the whole show. Ozma is her +mouthpiece, her figurehead, just as Ronal Reagan is Nancy's. + + What appalling cynicism, what corruption! A monarchy would be bad +enough, but this transcends such models, and sinks into Byzantine or +Florentine duplicity. + + And how could the relative positions of Ozma and Glinda be +otherwise, considering Glinda's superior knowledge, as embodied in her Book +of Records? Here we can clearly see the outlines of the most important +feature of our age, the power conferred by information. + + Glinda's book, you'll recall, is like Borges' Book of Sand, the +script continually changing, recording everything that happens in Oz and the +world. Everything. What people ate, what they did one millisecond after +they did it, where they are, where they're going. Try to imagine the amount +of writing in this book. Talk about the information explosion! Yet Glinda +is abole to read and absord everything in it, able to find jut the tidbit of +knowledge she needs to complete here Machiavellian schemes. What a metaphor +for the all-knowing state, which governs its citizens absolutely through +complete awareness of their every move. + + In conjunction with Ozma's all-seeing magic picture (closed-circuit +TV surveillance?), Glinda's book insures that the domination of Oz's +inhabitants is complete. "A boot stepping on a human face for all +eternity...." + + And they call this kid's +stuff.... + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +READER: Do not throw this paper away. Read it carefully and thoughtfully. +Though you may not be aware of it, YOUR SOUL is in great danger. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + +MANY LETTERS, NO REPLIES + +Dear Mr. di Philipo (sir): + + Thanx for running my pub-shot in your great mag! Do you run FICTION? + My first story "Barking Chrome," was almost accepted by NEW PATHWAYS! And +I'll be in MIRRORSHADES IV: BEYOND THUNDERDOME! + + Viva the Revolution, FLUFFY the +CYBERPUP Kenosha, Wis. + +From JAMES BLAYLOCK: The last issue (number 7) had some great stuff in it. + +From MICHAEL COBLEY: While your ITGO article was fascinating, it didn't go +deep enough, I thought. You talked a lot about whether or not the cyberpunk +of Gibson is today-writ-large, and hovered around the "Is it or is it not SF +prediction?" question without actually asking it. The SF-as-prediction +schtick has been done to death in any number of brain-rot newspapers, yet it +is the paradigm that still weighs down the genre with a stifling accumulation +of archaic media templates. Far more valuable (and liberating) is the idea +of SF-as-theory, which in my view is what Gibson and Sterling et al have been +doing all along. + +From GREGORY BENFORD: Talk in AA about whether smalltime magazines are +useful to the field: sure, BUT... not very often. It's certainly true that +some fiction that's experimental gets into them, and some of the experiments +work, but my impression of most cases is that they cling to the conventional +middle much of the time -- or maybe their contributors do. + +From WILUM PUGMIRE: For a professional writer and editor to say that non-pro +publications shouldn't publish fiction by amateurs is absurd. I write +entirely for small press horror zines, it is my choice to do so. I am not +impress'd with professional horror magazines, and I'm not interested in +appearing therein. I wouldn't care if all professional publishers vanish'd, +leaving only amateurs. Of cours, I've no interest in turning writing into a +profession, so my outlook is weird. + + Rudy Rucker... must not venture too often into ye 12" single section +of record shops, else he would know that disco did not "fade," but is the +current trend in pop music. + +From BRUCE STERLING: Re: your recent AA thing on ITGO. Wise up, man. The +reason a "stifling of individual perception" is "crystallizing like amber" +around Gibson is because a lot of lazy-ass writers are deliberately ripping +him off. It's a matter of commerce, not imagination -- it's more convenient +for them to rip Gibson than think. It has nothing to do with your ridiculous +notion that there's only one probable future. Nor are there "only so many +sources," a laughably smug assertion that only shows you are sleepwalking +through as blinding buzzing confusion of potential extrapolative input. + + Your entire ITGO piece is a transparent attempt to ideologically +justify your own science-fantasies, like "Skintwister," which would have us +believe that Filipino (Di Filipino?) psychic surgery is, like, for real, man. +The premise of "Skintwister" is harebrained, but it kicks ass, so it's okay +-- nobody's watching, relax. I don't much believe in Gibsonian AI voodoo +gods, either. + + Your real problem is that you waste time studying hokey SF genre +structure instead of the actual living breathing structure of the +contemporary world. Start doing this, seriously this time, and a lot of +these acronymic "story types" and "subgenres" will shrink to their true level +of writerly importance, which is miniscule. + +From IGOR TOLOCONNICOV: Boris Zavgorodny showed me AA of yours. A curious +work, to say the least. The thing which I sadly lack on outside but greatly +appreciate is much satirical bend of mind. Sterling expired in a new family +transition, and there is a gap in modern contemporary chit-chat zines for me. + Try not to waver under pressure. + +From MARC LAIDLAW: Rudy Rucker points out the great title of Ike's +autobiography, but I don't suppose anyone tops Reagan's title: WHERE IS THE +REST OF ME? One pictures a lobotomized schizophrenic wandering down the +dimlit corridors of power, searching for his evil twin. + +From ANDREW MC QUIDDY: (AA offers) frank, innovative, and often insightful +essays that are a joy to read, and are both intellectually and ideologically +stimulating. The recent montage column by Rudy was particularly fun to +wander through as it meandered about its myriad anecdotes. + +From MISHA CHOCHOLAK: I really loved the TV panel thing. Sorry I made that +wisecrack and Terry Carr passed away. + +From RUDY RUCKER: I like Lew's letter (on value of small mags). The astral +convention sounds like a great idea. + +From DAVID D'AMMASSA: Brett Rutherford made some interesting points about +allusion, but he reall stepped into a pail of mud by saying "...roick and +song lyrics, by their very nature and because of the limited IQ's of most +performers, are generally inept and regressive if not Neanderthal in +content." + + Granted, it is perfectly reasonable that for the sake of research, +Brett has listened to every song ever performed and tested the IQ's of every +rock performer currently in practice, thereby settling in his mind that every +song's lyrics are inept, but forgive me if I doubt it. + +From LUKE MC GUFF: I got a chuckle out of Brett Rutherford's arguments +against pop music in stories. Hah! Forget it and calm down, dude, is what I +say.... Somebody who can't appreciate the vulgate poetry of something like +Hank Williams' "Honky Tonk Blues" or Johnny Cash's "Sunday Morning" or Jimmy +Cotton's "Cotton Crop Blues" or the Neville Brothers or Marvin Gaye or David +Byrne... they're lacking a certain element of soul. + + In one case, the rock'n'roll/SF allusion has worked the other way. +The Jefferson Airplane quoted Jack Williamson in a song whose title I forget. + The lines are, "In loyalty to their kind, they cannot tolerate our rise. In +loyalty to our kind, we cannot tolerate their obstruction." Did he get any +royalties from that +quotation? + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +FOOTNOTES OF GOR by Michael Cobley + +1) BLOOD-SPATTERED BEER MUGS OF GOR +2) LONG ARM OF THE GOR +3) GOR AND ORDER +4) SIC TRANSIT GORIA MUNDI +5) THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOR, GO I! + ++++++++++++++ +RULES FOR SUCCESS + BY MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE SUCCEEDED -- SAVE ONE DOLLAR OUT OF EVERY FIVE -- +GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT -- DON'T BE ASHAMED OF HONEST TOIL -- ECONOMY +NECESSARY TO SUCCESS -- HARD WORK THE CARDINAL REQUISITE -- GET A LITTLE +BUSINESS AND STICK TO IT + +Astral Avenue 9 Paul Di Filippo 2 Poplar Street Providence RI 02906 + + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/magazines/AT.1 b/textfiles.com/magazines/AT.1 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..684673e1 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/magazines/AT.1 @@ -0,0 +1,43 @@ + +T E X T F I L E S + +

He + continued; "How do you plead?" + + "Not guilty!", exploded Fred as he jumped up dramatically to get + a good look at the courtroom layout, and see if there was any way he + could slip Craig a twenty. + + "Oh dear, that's plan A up the spout", muttered Taxi. + + "OK then Taxi, present your evidence", said Craig in a bored + tone as he groped under his chair for a crossword. + + Taxi Cab brought out a video cassette labeled Article `A'. + "This is a recording of the events that went on at the recent + house-warming party for the Masked Avenger's new house.

In a moment he + heard the sound of the door being unlocked, and as it opened he was + hit by the sound of loud music, glasses clinking, and a hubbub of the + latest Taxi Cab jokes. + + "Glad you could make it, Fred", said Thelonius Monk, who had + answered the door. + + "Have you ever known me to miss a party?", joked Fred, "Say, + where's Masky, by the way? Shouldn't HE be greeting his guests?" + + "Oh, he's inside... somewhere", said Monk, glancing over his + shoulder, "anyway, come in, it looks terrible out there." + + "Ah, that's better", said Fred after he had gone inside and + removed his coat, "there's more wind out there than what comes out of + Masky's ass! Well, almost..." + + ECH!? appeared from behind a couch, clutching an empty bottle of + vodka, and muttered in Monk's direction "I thunk I had ar luttle tooo + mush tooo drunk... " and collapsed. As Monk disappeared behind the + couch to offer assistance, Fred stepped into the room and looked + around... Vagabond was alone in the corner drinking his NON-Alcoholic + cider, guarding someone else's bottle of Midori. As Fred was surveying + the room he was staggered into by The Lensman who had been indulging + in one of Masky's home brewed beverages. + + "Hiya, Fred!" + + "Oh, hi Lenny", said Fred. + + "Great party, eh?" + + "Yeah. Do you think I could get a drink." + + "Sure, what are you having?" + + "Ohhhhhhhh, a bottle Southern Comfort for a start." + + "You know, you ought to try some of Masky's home-brew whiskey. + Really powerful toddy that stuff! It's what Masky has whenever he + goes on one of his frequent benders, so he calls it Bender Toddy." + + "Sounds great, I'll catch you later OK?" Fred walked off + searching for the alcohol. + + Fred crossed the room, being greeted by several others, and + finally found the bar. The racks and shelves along the back contained + all manner of bottles, casks, and flagons, giving the impression of + some sort of laboratory or wizard's workshop. + + On the bar itself were many different bowls of sweets, which + Fred perused for a moment. He finally decided he might take a couple + of redskins and try the Bender Toddy Lensman told him about. + + Then he saw Syn pouting at him from behind the counter. She winked at + him, and with her sexy smile, gazed longingly at him with smoldering + eyes. She moistened her lips and sat down on the edge of the bar. + With feline grace she stretched out towards him, showing the tan on + her beautifully rounded shoulders and revealing her gorgeous pair + of.............shorts. + + Fred's erection was almost crippling him, so he sat down heavily + on the nearest bar stool. + + "What's your fancy?", Syn asked sweetly. + + Fred raised an eyebrow, then realised she was trying to serve + him a drink. He opened his mouth, but Syn had left him stunned and + tongue-tied, and his order of four redskins and some Bender Toddy + didn't quite come out the right way. + + "Err, I'll have red foreskins and a taste of your tender body + thanks. No, that's not what I mean, I want.. ah..." + + Fred glanced around hurriedly and spotted a tiny bottle of the + specially brewed rum Syn made in her own bath tub. + + "I'd love a slurp of your specially rude bum please Syn... No, + Syn!..." + + Ten seconds later, Fred was in the men's toilet leaning over a + gurgling sink whilst painfully holding a wet facewasher to his + reddened cheek and tentatively plucking his eyelashes out of his own + eye, mumbling "Rude bum? Oh god no! It's gorgeous!" + + One of the strange features of Masky's new house was that it had + two sets of toilets; one for each sex, and had several stalls so + they looked like they had come from a public loo or those found in a + restaurant. Fred suspected that before Masky bought the house, it was + occupied exclusively of women, for the Gent's didn't look like it had + ever been cleaned from the day it was built. + + Along the back wall were three cubicles next to a urinal. The + sink and chipped mirror were fixed next to the door. + + "Nyuuuuuuuurrrrggghhhneeeeerrrraaaaaggghhh!" + + Fred span around and looked with horror and disgust at the + occupied, right-hand cubicle from whence the constipated outcry had + originated. + + "Uhhhhhhohhhhhurrrrrggghh!" + + Fred winced, appalled, as he heard the crunch of teeth on the + toilet door. + + A blessed silence again descended, but Fred still gave the + occupied cubicle a wide berth as he headed for the toilet furthest + away from it. + + Once inside the vacant loo, Fred closed and locked the door, + pulled down his pants in the quick motion of someone who has found it + handy to get them off quickly while standing at the side of a + stranger's bed, and settled himself down on the black plastic ring. + + The toilet cubicle was a dark, moody place, but there was still + enough light for Fred to survey his surroundings. + + Apart from the grimy toilet itself, there was a small shelf on + one of the walls, on which was one of those stupid new toilet paper + dispensers. The type where there isn't enough room for the toilet + roll to turn around properly, so you end up ripping the first five + metres out in tiny shreds. + + Also on the shelf, bravely trying to combat odors, was one of + those plastic Magic Mushrooms. Various real ones grew around it for + company. Finally, an old vaseline jar held several marking pens, + their function obvious from the excessive amount of graffiti on the + door and walls. Fred grabbed a black texta, knowing just what to + write on the wall outside. + + "An orgasm in the bush is worth two in the hand", Lensman had + once penciled. [Especially with Royna! - Ed] + + "Photo of Taxi Cab, wipe ass to develop" with an arrow pointing + to the paper dispenser was Monk's effort. + + On the door, Ech had liquid-papered her contribution: "For a + refreshing experience, press button whilst seated." (Ech!? What + was SHE doing in there!?) + + Suddenly, the toilet door opened and closed, and for a brief + moment the chaos of the party could be heard. Masky leaned against + the door, breathing heavily through his mouth, lurched over to + shakily grasp the sink, and then staggered into the middle loo and + fell to his knees. With the forward and downward momentum, Masky + chundered heavily into the toilet bowl, just getting his technicolour + yawn in by the width of a bee's foreskin, and marked another notch + onto the wall. + + "8093", he thought vaguely. + + Having completed his liquid laugh, the Masked Avenger rose rather + unsteadily to his feet, as the horrible groaning started again. + + "Nyyyyyyuuuuurrrrrghhhhhaauhh!" + + Masky banged loudly on the door with his hairy palms and said + loudly "Hey, mate, you having some sort of problem are or you just + weight-lifting? Haha!" + + Masky weaved his way over to Fred's loo, and shouted through the + door, "Hey Fred, you're missing a classic party, you know!" + + "Yeah, okay", replied Fred, "I'll be out in a minute. It's + coming out very easily!" + + Masky was about to reply, when his befuddled brain began to + think about what it had heard. + + "Err, hey what?" + + "I'm talking about the toilet paper. Usually it jams." + + "Oh, right." + + There was a pause, a gurgling flush, and Fred opened the door. + On the way out, Fred told Masky about his earlier encounter with Syn. + + "You better watch out for her in future then", said Masky, and + continued with a laugh, "just in case your Bloody Mary has a string + in it. You going to join the party or are you an Ollie?" + + "Yeah, I'll be there in a sec, just have to do something first." + Fred proceeded to write on the wall next to condom vending machine + "Insert Baby For Full Refund!", and headed back to the party. + + Masky laughed and opened the outer door, and found that in the + last few minutes, the party had rapidly turned into a frenzied orgy. + + Not long after Masky had left the room, Thelonius Monk had + started making prank phone calls. Fred grabbed the phone, and + dialed the number of the local McDonalds. + + "Good evening, I'd like to book a table for six please." + + {pause} + + "What do you mean you don't take bookings?" + + {pause} + + "It says here that you are a `family restaurant'..." + + {pause} + + "Can I speak to the manager please, you dumb bitch!" + + {pause} + + "Oh, in that case, can you guarantee I will get a seat?" + + {pause} + + "Well, you can sit on my face if you want!" + + {long pause} + + "The bitch hung up!" + + Monk took over and called up another McDonalds, one of the few + that have taken it upon themselves to make home deliveries, and + placed an "order" with Fire Fox, who was moonlighting from her other, + similar job at Dial a Dinos. + + "I'll have five sleaze-burgers and a large side-order of + Frenchie-fries, thanks", Monk told her. + + After the crowd who had gathered around the phone had stopped + laughing, Sprite grabbed the phone and shouted: + + "You can give me a big crack and a dick shake any day!" + + Eliminator leaned over Sprite's shoulder, and said into the + phone, "Hello? You still there? Hey, something that might interest + you: Did you know that our host is a daughter-pounder? Hehehe." + + What they didn't know was that Fire Fox was the local nookie- + bookie, and in five minutes she had arrived around with nine gorgeous + prostitutes. + + "Hey wow, what a beautiful block of flaps", exclaimed Fred as he + entered the lounge and saw them. + + Fred put on a suave, casual nonchalant look, and snapped his + fingers in the air to get the attention of one of the girls. + + Fortunately, one of the girls loved masochists and was quite + taken (in) by Fred, for she was a sadist and she knew they would + enjoy each other's company. + + So, as she bandaged Fred's fingers, they went upstairs to + Masky's spare bedroom which they were pleased to find empty. + + The extremely willing girl, whose name incidentally was Julie + Alderman, pulled back the sheets of the bed and sat down. She slowly + stripped down to her black silk underwear and a puff-sleeved night + gown. Then she leaned back on the cool pillows, smiled coyly, and + beckoned to Fred with her tongue. + + Fred, who had been standing at the bottom of the bed quickly got + undressed, and slipped between the sheets beside her and silently + kissed her neck. + + Julie moaned and drew closer to him. + + "Oh Fred!", she whispered, "why don't you slip a finger in my + [DELETED]? Here, let me play with your [DELETED]." + + Fred obliged, and Julie's breathing quickened as the air around + them began to warm up. + + "Oh yes Fred! You're about to see how Juicy I can get! Oh, but + your ring keeps hurting me!" + + "That's not my ring", retorted Fred, "that's my fucken' + wristwatch!" + + Fred's head disappeared under the sheets. + + "My god, it's like the city loop in here! It's like the city + loop in here!" + + Julie blushed rather heavily (Oh, an interesting piece of trivia + which seems appropriate to insert here: Did you know that when you + blush with your clothes on, the blush is confined to your face, but + when you're naked you blush with your whole body? Some of our more + adventurous readers may care to confirm or disprove this. Anyway, + back to Jewels...) [I've noticed that women tend to blush right + on the end of their tits when they aren't covered - Ed's helper] + + "Well you didn't have to say it twice!" + + "I didn't", protested Fred, re-appearing for a moment. + + "Hey, are these really miniature stalactites?" + + "Yes", said Julie, "they're good conversation pieces. Anyway, + enough foreplay, I want your body!" + + Fred took one of Julie's feet in his hands, lightly tickling the + sole with one finger. After a single suck on each toe, [Hang on, + Masky's the toe sucker around here! - Ed] he rested a hand + on each ankle and slowly slid them up her smooth, glistening + body until he felt, under his cupped hands, her firm, trembling + spheroids. + + Fred grabbed them and quickly began kneading and squeezing + them before reaching under the bed, producing an aerosol can, + and squirting exquisitely shaped blobs of whipped cream over them. + + Fred mauled her as he spread the cream around with his tongue + and licked it off. + + Having finished with her kneecaps, Fred put on a few condoms + (he still likes to play it safe) and Julie slowly slid... + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + [The rest of this sequence has been excised on the grounds of + good taste and privacy.

As the coach + clattered onto the cobblestones at the outskirts of the village, the + coachman pulled back on the reins and slowed the horses to a stop. + After a moment, the coach door opened and Fearless Fred stepped out. + + "So this is Transvestylvania, is it? What a hole." + + "Shhhhh, Fred", said Ford Prefect as he also stepped out of the coach, + looking nervously over his shoulder at the cloaked coachman. "It's + always like this", he added softly. + + "You mean you've been to this dump before?", asked Fred in surprise. + + "Well, once. Briefly. It was a long time ago, and I travelled in from + the opposite direction over the Bulgarian border. I've never come this + way before." + + "No, neither have I", said Lensman as he stepped out of the coach + tugging a rapidly deflating doll, "it must have been all those holes + and cobblestones in the road." + + "Yeah, it was a bit rough", Fred agreed as he patted his pockets, + "it's a pity Satan's Daughter wasn't riding with us, we could have + had fresh butter within the first three miles..." + + Fred found what he had been looking for, and extracted a money pouch + from his coat pocket. He hunted around for a gold sovereign and handed + it to the coach driver who took it silently. Lensman struggled with the + luggage with growing irritation at the rear of the coach. "Damn + luggage clamps won't undo. They're harder than my shoe laces. Arghh! + Help me Fred." + + Fred grimaced and joined Lensman at the rear of the coach and began + pulling at the jammed clamps. + + Ford searched around in the bottom of his satchel and pulled out an + incomplete tool kit. "You want a screwdriver?", he called. + + "Leave it out", said Raster, the coachman, speaking for the first time, + "you've got me ten minutes late already. I was supposed to be making + mad passionate love with Julie Alderman tonight, and if I'm not there + in five minutes she'll be starting without me!" + + Lensman hauled the luggage off the rear of the coach, and the coach + sped off into the night to the sound of a cracking whip. + + "So where to now?", asked Ford. + + "This way", said Fred eagerly as he hurried down a side street, "I can + smell that O.H. functional group anywhere..." + + Sure enough, Fred led them to the Werewolf's Fang, the local inn. A + pool of warm light spilled out of the open door into the street, and + the sounds of music and laughter could be heard from within. As they + stepped inside, a sudden hush fell over the room and the peasants all + turned to stare. "Uh, hi guys", faltered Lensman with a nervous little + half wave, "Ah... don't mind us... drink up..." He trailed off, and the + three shuffled over to a remote corner of the bar. + + The peasants gradually resumed their conversations, though now in a + subdued tone. A few crossed themselves. The Barman, Garden Gnome, + finished wiping a few glasses, and approached them. "Yes?", he said in + a deep, bored voice. + + Fred relaxed as he sat down on a barstool and rested his elbow on the + wood-topped bar. "I'll have a double Anything-Alcoholic", said Fred, + as a few peasants left the inn, crossing themselves. + + "Why do they keep making that sign?", Ford wondered aloud. + + "Protection", said a husky voice beside him. Ford turned around, and + saw a hessian-clad peasant, Ivan Trotsky, sitting at a nearby table. + + "Pardon?" + + "They do it to ward off evil forces, demons..." + + "Oh", said Ford, "so it's the sign of the cross?" + + "No", replied Ivan, "actually it's the sign of the cross-your-heart + bra. Everyone wears one here. It's for protection of the breasts + against...." Ivan lowered his voice to a whisper, "... the Count!" + + "The Count!", exclaimed Fred, "but that's who we've come here to see. + You do mean Count Masky von Crackula?" + + "Yes, the Devil Masky. Woe to all who tread the stones of the Castle + Crackula. Why would you want to go THERE!?" + + "Well", said Lensman, "actually, we're real estate agents." + + "Errrrr!", said the entire bar populous. + + "All right, all right", said Lensman defensively, "I know it's not + exactly a popular career, but the hours are good." + + "They're right, you know", said Disk Destroyer, the local estate agent + as he climbed onto the bar-top, "and I have terrific powers of + persuasion. Just watch me turn rape into rapture. Twenty sovereigns + says I can finally get a girl tonight." Disk Destroyer abseiled down + Fred's leg and plunged into a nearby forest of knees running towards + the women. They could hear shouts above a drunk rendition of "Roll me + over in the clover"... + + "Hey there, if I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it + against me?" + + {Splash of drink being thrown} + + {Pause} + + "Hey there baby, want sex? {pause} OK then, want to lie down while I + have some?" + + {Crunch of knee in groin} + + "Anyway", said Fred as he scooped up the twenty sovereigns, "we're here + to sell the Count a house in London." + + "Just be careful!", hissed Ivan, "Masky isn't what he appears to be, + he's a kinky vampire!" + + "He's what?", exclaimed Ford. + + "You heard. He flies around at night and finds a victim. He then + mesmerizes them, bites their feet, and sucks their blood out through + their toes!" + + -------------------------- + + "I don't see why we couldn't have just stayed at the inn", complained + Ford as they neared the towering front doors of Castle Crackula. + + "Stay there?", asked Fred, "no thanks. The innkeeper kept trying to + feed me live yabbies. The waitress with the bamix wasn't bad though..." + + "There'll be no-one here at this hour", moaned Lensman. + + "Don't be so sure", said Fred, "listen..." They could faintly hear the + sound of a pipe organ being played. Fred banged loudly on the doors, + and shortly a tall, saturnine figure opened the door. + + "Sorry to have kept you waiting, but I've recently had to sack Renfield + and I like playing with my organ.", apologised Masky. + + "Renfield?", echoed Fred. + + "My manservant. His habits were disgusting me. He was a zoophagous + maniac." + + "A what?", asked Fred. + + "A MAN-SERVANT." Count Masky repeated slowly. "He used to serve the + village men to me." + + "No, the zoo-thingie maniac." Fred said with a blank look on his face. + + "Oh, ZOOPHAGOUS MANIAC. He used to eat spiders and flies", explained + Masky. + + "How did he get their little legs apart?", asked Lensman. + + Fred elbowed Lensman in the ribs, and they all went inside and gathered + in the dining hall. + + -------------------------- + + After they had settled around the table, with Masky on a commode, Fred + unrolled several charts and blueprints. "This is the building we + thought most suited you. It is, as you wanted, quite large and + isolated", said Fred. + + "And you can arrange my transportation as I requested?" Masky queried. + + "Certainly, Ford here is a travel agent and will make all the + arrangements." + + "Splendid." Count Masky responded. "We shall continue this discussion + tomorrow evening. I hope you shall find your chambers comfortable. + A meal will be served at midday. Natasha here will see you to your + rooms. Good evening gentlemen." + + "I wonder if Natasha is his woman-servant." Fred said to Ford as they + followed her to their rooms, making a note in his black book. + + -------------------------- + + When the trio awoke in the afternoon, they found a hot meal waiting for + them in the hallway outside. After eating, they made a short + exploratory trip around the castle, but found most of it locked off. + + Fred worked on the title deeds for the house in England for a while, + and then noticed Ford was missing. Lensman was on his bed and hadn't + seem to have noticed, so Fred put down his quill and left the room to + look for him. Fred eventually found Ford kneeling on the floor in one + of the corridors, apparently making a detailed examination of the + floor. + + Ford looked up, startled, as Fred approached. "Fred! Come over here + and knock on the floor." + + Fred took an immediate step backwards. "What, with you?" + + "No, bang the floorboards." + + "Look Ford, that sort of pansexual perversion might turn you on, but + if you think I'm about to-" + + "No! Listen to this." Ford rapped on a square floor panel with his + knuckles. The sound echoed hollowly. "Did you hear that?", asked Ford, + "I think there's a hidden compartment under this piece of floor." + + "Hey, you could be right... Yeah, it seems to be movable." Fred pried + the panel out of place, and discovered a small hole under the + passageway. In it lay a dusty book of vallum pages and leather + bindings. Fred carefully lifted it out, and blew the dust off the + cover. + + +---+ +---+ + | |-----------------------------------------------------| | + | + | | + | + +---+ T H E V A M P Y R +---+ + | | + | A Lesson in Unnatural History. | + | | + +---+ by Jesse Ertits. +---+ + | + | | + | + | |-----------------------------------------------------| | + +---+ +---+ + + Fred and Ford went back to the bedroom, where Fred began to read the + book and Ford helped Lensman do The Times crossword. "No, no, no, + Lenny, there's only three X's in pornography..." + + "Help me with this one, Ford. A four letter slang word for vagina." + + "Oh", said Ford, knotting his brow, "I know the word it should be... + vagina... vagina... Damn, I can't remember it, but it's on the tip of + my tongue..." + + "What's the book about, Fred?", asked Lenny after a while. + + "All about vampires", said Fred as he carefully turned another page and + began absorbing the centuries-old print. "Did you know vampires can + turn gaseous? I just thought Masky farted a lot. It says here what a + vampire's weaknesses are and, ahh!, this next bit should be important, + `how to kill a vampire'..." Fred turned another sheet of brittle + vallum. "Shit!" + + "What's wrong?", asked Ford + + "Some bastard has been pressing flowers in the book! I can't read + what it says to do. Look at this, there are daffodils flattened onto + the vallum sheets!" + + "Yeah", said Lensman, looking over Fred's shoulder, "and what extremely + poor taste in flowers! I'd much rather see pansies between my + sheets..." + + "Sun's setting, Fred", said Ford, who was standing next to the narrow + arrowslit that served as a window, "Masky will be up and flitting + around the belfry soon. Better not let him see that book." + + Fred hid the book under his bed and soon Masky strode in, opera cape + flapping. + + "Good evening gentlemen. I trust you are comfortable." Count Masky + greeted them, and continued without waiting for a response. "I have + some business to attend to tonight, so I will be unavailable. Please + don't pry around the keep, it could be dangerous." With that, he left. + + "Wonder where he's off to", said Lensman, a little irritated at such + curt treatment. "Probably off to the blood bank for a withdrawal", + said Fred wryly. + + "Better than Cefiar's habit. He makes withdrawals from the sperm bank", + reflected Ford. + + "He used to work there", said Lensman, recalling an appropriate snippet + of information, "but he got fired when they found him drinking on the + job." + + "OK, enough gossip, what are we going to do about Count Masky?" Ford + said. + + Lensman had a blank look on his face, as too did Fred. Flickering + torchlight surrounded them until a distant yell broke the silence and + left an uneasy tension in the air. + + "At times like this, I think we should look for inspiration at the + inn." said Fred as he made his way out of the room and headed to the + inn closely followed by Ford and Lensman. + + -------------------------- + + Dawn was breaking as the three staggered back towards the castle. + Earlier that evening they'd heard many things about the foul deeds of + the evil Count, and among the other information they'd gathered was how + to dispel a vampire, but no-one was brave enough to enter the castle to + attempt it. + + "I don't get it." said Ford as their third rendition of What Do You Do + With A Drunken Vampire finished. "How is a bottle of Holy Vaseline + supposed to effect vampires?" + + "Shhh!" Slurred Fred. "We're nearing the castle, don't want him to get + suspicious." + + -------------------------- + + That evening they were woken by the spine chilling howl of a lone wolf + somewhere in the woods nearby. Ford had commented that there would be a + full moon that night. Natasha entered the room, her breasts arriving + several seconds before the rest of her. + + "Good evening. The count would like to extend an invitation for you to + join him for a meal and finalise your business matters. Would you + follow me please?" Natasha turned, narrowly missing Fred's grasp and led + the three down the stone corridors to the dining hall towards the + Count's organ playing. + + The organ fell awkwardly silent as Natasha entered the room followed by + Fred's tongue, Fred, Ford and Lensman. Turning away from the keyboard + the Count greeted them, and gestured for them to take their seats. A + fine dinner followed which the Count explained was some of the finest + local cuisine. + + "Delicious." Ford began to reminisce "reminds me of and old African + dish which I could never get the recipe for." + + "Battered ant-eater tongues, pickled worms and sauteed hog testicles." + I'm glad you enjoyed it. Most outsiders find our local specialties, + let's say, not to their liking." + + "Ah, Count." Fred thought he'd bring business matters up before the + meal. "Remarkable dinner, but to the matter of our business?" + + "You will find in the chest over there" the Count gestured to a large + wooded chest at the side of the room, "the agreed amount for the + estate. I shall be leaving by coach within the week for England. Will + you enjoy my company for another night? The surrounding woods can be + dangerous at." + + "Thank you count, but we feel we would be abusing your hospitality to + stay." Ford said as The Lensman, who now resembled jelly, green and + wobbly, began to slip under the table assumably to keep Fred company. + + "Very well. Natasha! Get the coach. Have a pleasant journey." The Count + turned and strode out of the room. + + -------------------------- + + Lensman and Fred took a while to recover, but they knew that the count + would soon be wanting to retire for the day, and they wanted to have + left the castle by then. Raster helped Lensman secure the case + onto the rear of the coach. Count Masky looked on from the large + carved wooden doors which were the main entrance to the castle. + + "Farewell Count. It has been a pleasure doing business with you." Fred + grinned as he followed Ford into the coach and closed the door. + + The coach pulled away to the crack of Raster's whip, down along a dark + winding road through the woods. Ford watched as the last spire of the + castle disappeared into the distance and turned to Fred. + + "Now will you please explain what the Holy Vaseline was for Fred?" + + "Five..." Fred began, "Four... Three... Two... " + + "Arrrrggg!" A chilling scream from the castle cut Fred short and echoed + across the valley. + + "Damn, my timing's out! Good thing he a good Catholic Vampire and + doesn't use condoms isn't it?" Fred grinned. + + "I hear there's a Frankenstein guy looking for a vacant castle + not far from here." Ford commented as he non-chalantly nibbled + his nails. + + "Driver! To Frankenstein's Castle!" + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + ============ + Synderella + ============ + By Avalon .. + + Once upon a time, in a land not to different from our own, there + lived a pretty, but flat-chested and almost innocent girl called + "Synderella". She lived at home with her stepmother and her fat, + ugly stepsisters. + + Synderella was always left to do the more mundane tasks such as + cooking [Can anyone live on bouncy cheesecakes alone?] and + scrubbing up after her stepsisters and stepmother. + + One day an invitation came to the house from the palace, it was + an invitation to the King's next orgy, it was given to all + females who were thought worthy of being there. Synderella + thought she was invited too. + + In the lead up to the ball, her stepsisters had many tasks for + Synderella. "Wash this, I don't want to get any more diseases!" + "Where's my pill?" were some of the constant requests of + Synderella. "Should I curl my hair or go bald and wear a wig?", + pondered one of her stepsisters as she prepared herself for the + orgy. + + Finally the night arrived and when the coach arrived Synderella + was still in her leather and chains and was unable to go since + she was obviously overdressed for the occasion. + + "Get back inside now!" yelled the stepmother, cracking a whip + and pulling hard on the chain that wound its way to Synderella, + forcing her back inside. + + A few hours later when Synderella had finished her chores and + her stepmother had retired to bed, Synderella sat alone on + her bed deep in thought of what it would be like to be at the + orgy, and began weeping silently to herself "It's not (sob) not + fair..." + + {POOF!} + + "Ok, Ok, I'm here, now stop messing about and we'll see what I + can do about getting you to the orgy." said a mysterious figure + with a lisp. + + "Who are you ?", asked Synderella. + + "None of your business... stand up." the mysterious figure said. + Synderella protested that she was unused to finding strange men in + her bedroom, and would not participate with anything he wanted until + she at least knew his name. Reluctantly he mumbled "You can call me + Lance. I'm your Fairy God-SysOp." With nothing much else to do, + Synderella wiped the tears from her eyes, and stood up expectantly. + + "No wonder you're not at the orgy." said the stranger. "Hmmmm..." + Waving the wand in his right hand he said some words that + sounded more like an excited faggot than a magician. Synderella + stood waiting for something to happen. + + "Well?!" demanded Synderella expectantly. + + "Have a look at yourself now." + + "Oh!" said Synderella, noticing that she now had an admirable + bust, "Much better. But how do I get there ?" + + "One driver coming up...". A pillar of smoke appeared, and out + stepped Fred. "Damn! Oh well, he'll have to do. And for transport... + I think an armored personnel carrier should see you there safely, + even with this maniac driving." + + A loud crash came from the road outside. "Good, got the wogs + parked in the car out front. Well what are you waitin' for ?" + asked Lance. + + "I'm not going driving with him!" yelled Synderella. + + "You'll be safe, after all what can happen to you inside a + APC?", replied the being of mysterious sexuality. "Oh Synderella, + don't forget to be home before midnight, after that you are + vulnerable to anything that might be floating around at the orgy, and + its better to be safe than sorry. Those who attend these orgies + aren't well known for safety. Oh, you'll also return to normal. + That could de a bit of a let down for someone.", he warned, and then + vanished with a poof. [Who was the other poof?] + + "But its 9:30 now!", complained Synderella. "I'll be lucky if I have + five guys!" + + "Stop standing around complaining and get into the APC.", commanded + Fred. The APC was sitting upon a squashed piece of metal that was + oozing grease. "Slimy grease balls. Watch out for the mess + Synderella." said Fred. "Errgghh yuck. I can see why they don't sell + lubricants in wog countries.", commented Fred as he followed + Synderella into the APC. + + The trip to the palace was fairly uneventful except for the 12 + houses, 8 cars, 2 trucks, and anything else that was stupid enough to + lie along the straight line between Synderella's house and the + palace. All of which Fred flattened with glee, and with the small + knife in his hand carved another 3 notches into the dashboard for the + three stupid people he managed to collect on the way. As Synderella + nimbly left the vehicle he was carving in a half-notch mumbling that + "After all one was pregnant..." + + Synderella hurried up the stairs thankful that the trip was over. + Following the trail of scented steam, found the main sauna/spa room. + It was packed with people and was hard to hear anything except for + the constant groans and moans. As she shut the door, everyone turned + to stare at her, even her stepsisters, who seemed not to recognise + her. Suddenly she blushed, realizing that she was overdressed for + this, and removed what clothing she was wearing and looked for a + spare male. + + As she looked, fierce glances of jealousy came from the women and the + men looked at her with lust filled eyes, but unable to break the hold + their partners' holds. Finally she found a spare male but was quite + disappointed with her find. As time crept on, so did the number of + disappointments but little did she notice that the Prince, who was as + yet unwed, was slowly but surely making his way around to her. + Giving up hope of ever gaining satisfaction and realising that + midnight was approaching, Synderella turned to leave but found + herself facing the Prince. + + The Prince calmly took control of the situation and directed + Synderella towards bliss. Synderella lost all sense of time, and + just as she was beginning to think she would climax for once she + heard a clock ring out: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, + eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve to the rhythm of the Prince. + "Midnight!" thought Synderella, with images of flat breasts, she + panicked. Pulling away from the Prince she left hurriedly, + forgetting to dress and ran out as quickly as possible. + + Meanwhile the Prince was dumbfounded, why would any woman run away + just as she was about to climax? Distraught and disappointed that he + had missed out on such a fine pair, he set about to look for her. + The only clue, a body suit that could fit only one person properly. + + The prince took the bodysuit to the local clothes makers in an effort + to find the tailor that made such an erotic garment. Without success + there, he sent forth his loyal servants to find the sensuous woman. + + For months, the loyal men roamed the country demanding that each + female shapely enough, try on the bodysuit, with the good came the + bad, many of them returned blind, the sights they saw were that + horrible. + + Finally they came to the house in which Synderella was held captive, + her stepsisters and stepmother all tried it on but they were all too + small. By chance Synderella entered the fitting room. + + "Have you tried it on miss?", inquired one of the Prince's servants. + + "No of course not you fool!", replied Synderella's stepmother. + + "And she's not going to either!", yelled her her first stepsister. + + "I'll bet you she does fit.", challenged the second stepsister + mockingly. + + "What's the stake?" questioned the third. + + "Our boyfriends." + + "But you don't have one!" + + Synderella tried it on at the insistence of the Prince's servant. As + she put on the body suit, her bust filled out to the exact dimensions + of the bodysuit. The Prince's servants grabbed Synderella and thrust + her outside into a waiting carriage (with Fred as the driver again!) + which sped off to the palace. + + "Right, here she is.", said the prince to the chaplain standing next + to him, "Marry us or I'll have your heads cut off, one by one!", + threatened the Prince. + + "Yeah....right", replied the chaplain with a slightly red face and + proceeded to marry the two. + + + The End + + Epilogue. + --------- + + The Prince lived until he overcame himself one evening with the + 837th position in the Karma Sutra. + + Synderella died when she fell (forwards!) from a balcony at the + Prince's funeral. She survived the fall, but suffered a heart + attack when she realized how high she had bounced back up into + the air! + + THE END + + The Moral of this story. + ------------------------ + + Too many bouncy cheesecakes can be a health hazard. + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + =================================== + Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. + =================================== + By Lightning Bolt + + The Cast + ======== + + Narrator: Ford Prefect + Snow White: SYN ... + The Wicked Queen: Erika Matlen + The Prince: Radio Active + + Dwarves: Dopey: Vagabond + Lusty: Night Stalker + Shorty: Disk Destroyer + Sleazy: Fearless Fred + Commie: Ivan Trotsky + Nosey: Infiltrator + SysOp: Craig Bowen + + -------------------------- + + Scene I.

The Dwarves lived happily ever after on junk food, + as did Snow White and the Prince. What about the mean nasty + Queen you're wondering.

Which just goes to disprove the + old saying; "If you can't whip them, beat them." + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + ==================== + Anarchistic Sports + ==================== + By Lightning Bolt. + + This has been an exciting month in the sports world. With the first + Victorian Bullshit Spinning League match being held we decided to + cover the action in detail. Down at ringside was Lightning Bolt + reporting on the match between The Masked Avenger and The Mentat. + + We settled down ringside at the first Bullshit Spinning League match + of the season. The crowd buzzed with excitement, and the boys in bay + 13 led by The Lensman were already getting into the mood with a hail + of empties being tossed at The Mentat as he entered the arena, the + odds on favorite after Masky's trainer revealed he had a sore throat. + + The Masked Avenger was wearing a stunning pink satin gown, compared + to The Mentat in his drab brass studded leather jacket. Tension was + mounting as the umpire brought them together to shake hands Masky + kneed Mentat in the groin to the pleasure of the crowd. + + As the bell sounded signifying the beginning of the first quarter, + Masky didn't waste any time, attacking Mentat with a favorite of his; + his 18 foot long dick. Mentat was only momentarily stunned, and + countered with with 50 hard disks he bought using an NUI he hacked + one evening. The crowd was stunned as too was Masky who could only + manage a feeble attempt at explaining how fun it was to be with + Vagabond in response. Mentat was bearly taken back by Masky's move + and sent him reeling with his progamming abilities in eight languages + and followed it up with a low attack about his penis size being + comparable to a horse's. Luckily for Masky the bell sounded ending + the first quarter. + + As the bell sounded a couple of minutes later, Masky was waiting for + Mentat who attacked with his Porche 944 that he bought using his + mum's AMEX card. Masky was well prepared for this one, and countered + with his brilliant exam results, and continued with the quality of + Fred's mustache and managed to again knee him in the groin while the + umpire wasn't looking. The crowd was going wild, a Mexican Wave + circled the ground to a slow chant of "Masky! Masky!". The Mentat was + still dumbfounded, and Masky continued ahead of Mentat until the end + of the first half. + + Half time entertainment wasn't bad, with an arousing strip-tease by + Julie Alderman, followed by Thelonius Monk blowing his horn. As Monk + finished his rendition of the Peter Gunn theme, Mentat, clearly ready + for a hard fight in the second half entered the ring followed closely + by Masky. + + The third quarter went by rather uneventfully, although Mentat scored + well with a brilliant attack with Big Mother and his WIFE. + + The last quarter was where we expected the bullshit to really fly, + and we weren't disappointed. Masky was first on the offensive with a + well timed "Taxi Cab is my best friend" followed by "I beat up Radio + Active yesterday." The Mentat was obviously being out classed, but + wasn't yet beaten and came back with a condom story and how this hot + date he screwed last week had worn through the condom. Masky couldn't + handle that one, and Mentat quickly followed it with the dose of + gonorrhea he caught from a model and the syphilis he caught at the last + orgy he went to which knocked Masky to the floor. Before the umpire + could stop him, he hit Masky with his herpes infection caught when + Raquel Welsh was in Australia for the Logies gave him the worse head + job he'd ever had. + + That was it. It was a clear win to Mentat, who then turned to the + crowd, enticing them with his sexual proficiency with a netball team + before a well thrown stubbie from The Lensman sent him running to the + changing rooms. + + All in all, a good start to the new season. Next month will be + another exciting round with Cefiar facing Taxi Cab. Cefiar with his + 25 Gigabyte bulletin board should be an even match for Taxi Cab and + his father's sicopaths. + + Other results this month + ------------------------ + + The amature wet T-shirt competition was won by Julie Alderman. + + The amature g-string competition was lost by Masked Avenger. + + Street Fighting + --------------- + Geriatric Grannies 8 Gordie's Sicopaths 1 + Bowen's Butchers 7 D.D. & the other Dwarves 3 + Trotsky & The Red Army 1 Adolf's SS 0 + + Pub Crawling + ------------ + Fred 8 + Lensman 8 + Eliminator 15 + Satan's Daughter 3 + Craig Bowen 0 + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + ======================= + This Edition's Awards + ======================= + + Sysop of the month.................................

Also, I've traced my incestory back to the | + | | ^ANCESTRY | + | | United States. It was here that my family name, | + | | | + | | Nicholls, first appeared, as this was what people paid | + | | | + | | for a bit of nookie. | + | | | + | | My ancestors stayed in the USA until 1801, when they | + | | | + | | migrated to England. It was here, in a foggy Whitechapel| + | | | + | | street on the night of August 31st, 1888, that my poor | + | | | + | | great-great grandmother, Polly Nicholls (another pro. | + | | | + | | in my heritage) was murdered by Jack the Ripper. At | + | | | + | | least she died on the job, I always think it's the way | + | | | + | | she woold have wanted it | + | | ^WOULD | + | | Anyway, after her death, my shocked family left | + | | | + | | England to find greener pastures and softer beds in | + | | | + | | Australia, and even dropped one of the "l"s from their | + | | | + | | surnames. | + | | | + | | I, myself, was born on June 12, 1969, in my mother's | | O | | + | | brothel.

More of + a contradiction than a prediction. + + I soon found out that the only thing Vagabond and I had in common + was that we were both like punctured tyres- Vagabond was never hard, + but I always wanted to be pumped, so our relationship was doomed + from the start. + + I can still remember our first night together. We went to the Hairy + Clam, the official Evil Angels seafood restaurant [editorial + footnote- This restaurant is already open at 264C Swanston Street, + just above our cinema] which is managed by Fearless Fred in his spare + time. + + -------------------------------------- + + EDITORIAL NOTE: It appears Dianne Nichols will remember little of + what went on in the restaurant, for her memoirs do not elaborate on + the evening. However, we have managed to get hold of the video tape + from the restaurant's security camera, so here is a description of + the events... [Tape Date: 24-01-54 19:32:21] + + -------------------------------------- + + "Hello", said Fred as Vagabond and Dianne entered the foyer, "can I + help you?" + + "We'd like a table for two", said Vagabond. + + "Certainly, sir", said Fred, showing them into the main part of the + restaurant. + + Fred seemed to be having difficulty keeping his hands off Dianne, so + he kept them occupied by fishing a notepad and pencil from his + pocket. + + "Would you like to order now?", he asked Dianne, keeping his back to + Vagabond. + + "I wouldn't mind tasting your salted mussel", said Dianne, looking pointedly at Fred's groin. + + "It would go quite well with a bit of a groper", hinted back Fred. + + "Ahh, excuse me", said Vagabond loudly, tapping Fred on the back, + "I'd like to have crabs." + + "Shuddup!", spat Fred as he span around and shoved a bread roll in + Vagabond's mouth, "I'm serving the lady!" + + He turned back to Dianne, and said "If you want to try something + really novel, I could bring my eel out and flop it on the table." + + Dianne could not help giggling, and Fred knew he was 90% of the way + to getting her away from Vagabond. + + "I've changed my mind", announced Vagabond, "could you change that + order? I want a floured plaice instead." + + Fred jumped around again and held a clenched fist under Vagabond's + nose. "It'll be a ploughed face you'll get in a minute! Now stop + interrupting!" Fred gesticulated in a way that would have made Basil + Fawlty leap away. + + [Editorial note- if you own the restaurant, it's okay to behave like + Fred is now, but don't expect a tip. - FP] + + "I think I'll..." + + "What's there to drink?", asked Dianne. + + "I'll just get the wine waiter", said Fred, "FORD!!! Fucking get over + here!" + + Ford Prefect came from across the room and ogled at Dianne as Fred + headed towards the kitchen with the order. Originally, Fred, with his + vast knowledge of alcoholic amalgamation, was to be the wine waiter, + but then everyone else involved with the restaurant realised that + introducing Fred to the entire supply of alcohol in a restaurant + would be less sensible than introducing neutrons to uranium-235. + + "Hello Dianne", said Ford, "can I interest you in an Orgasm?" + + "Ford!", yelled Fred from across the restaurant, "she's mine! Just + serve her! Wines, NOT COCKTALES!" + + Ford looked puzzled, "If she's all yours, why do you want me to...?" + He trailed off, then asked, "Did you say serve her, or service her?" + + "I said SERVE her." + + "Oh, right." Ford turned back to Dianne, and handed her a drinks + list. + + "I recommend the cheap stuff. I think you'll like the Vino Plonko, the Evil Angels special home brew. Avalon made it with his own two + feet!" [Which "two feet" we mean is open for speculation! - FP] + + [The rest of the evening in the restaurant passed uneventfully, + except for two unfortunate (?) instances; one when Fred was setting + the table and Dianne asked for a fork, and one when Ford brought out + the wine and Dianne asked to taste his cork.] + + -------------------------------------- + + The real let-down came when Vagabond took me home, and the time came + when he took his pants off. I almost burst out laughing when I saw + it! No jokes, his organ must have been the size of a half-sucked + tictac. + + "Who do you expect to sexually satisfy with THAT?", I asked. + + "Me, meeee!", he whined. + + Well, he'd paid for me in advance, so there wasn't much I could do + except go ahead with it. I soon found out that he had worse rhythm + than a broken metronome. Believe me, his fucking was completely + knackered. Also, his knackers were completely fucked. I think I've + seen bigger balls on the heads on pins. + + Part II - Disk Destroyer. + + This guy made Vagabond look macho! + You know, I often think of penises as salada biscuits; Fred's is + man-sized, Masky's is snack-size, and poor little DD's is bite-size. + Did I say penis? Disk Destroyer's was more... more a "punyis". + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ + +------------------------------+ + Chapter 50 - The Karma Nichols + +------------------------------+ + + FROM THE MEMOIRS: + + "The day after I had sexually gone through the alphabet for + the third time, I asked my keeper, Fearless Fred, if he could + find some knew ways to do it. For a long time, Fred racked his + brains.

It has been calculated that a lewd offer + is made to a female user every 7.3 minutes, and she's really getting + tired of it! (Aren't you Julie?) + + THIS EDITION'S EPISODE: + + WHO HAS BEEN PUTTING HOLES IN THELONIUS MONK'S CONDOMS? ======================================================= + + The name's Ovtits, Inspector Ovtits to my clientele. As the + sharper of you may have gathered from the sign on the door, I'm a + private detective. Peeping through keyholes and bedroom windows a + speciality. One of my more fascinating case began one morning while I + had my feet propped up on the desk and I was contemplating a cigarette. + The door opened, and a very agitated Thelonius Monk walked in. + + "Please", he begged, "you've got to help me." + + I eyed him cooly. "And what might you problem be, the main one anyway?" + + "Well", he said, sitting down, "it's like this, I've been having sex + with these girls, and after the last one, I realised the condom was + leaking! At first I thought maybe the baby oil had rotted the rubber + or the friction had torn it, but then I checked the others I had, and + they where all the same. I haven't had it off with those girls for a + week now, and I'm getting desperate!" + + "So", I said, checking that I had understood him correctly, "those + condoms had holes in them, so now there's no condoms in those holes?" + + "Right, that's exactly it. Can you help me find out who sabotaged them?" + + "I can solve any crime I'm paid for", I assured him, "let's start with + revenge as a motive." I swung around on the swivelling chair and went + over to the filing cabinet. I shuffled the manilla folders around, and + pulled out the one I was looking for. + + "This is your file", I informed Mr Monk. + + "I thank heaventh", Monk lisped, "you've found it! And my poor nailth + are in a terrible meth." He flexed his fingers. + + "Are you queer?", I confronted him. + + "Well", he said, returning his voice to normal, "there's a little gay + in every guy. What's written about me in there?" + + I opened the file, it was a very short one. (Like Masky's penis) "Not + much. A brief personal history, photofit picture, hmm, a police + record... involving a certain incidence last year." + + "That's not fair!", protested Monk, "in the Middle Ages before they had + latex, the intestines of sheep were always used as condoms." + + "I believe that was after the sheep had actually died", I said + delicately, "and then been gutted. Could the proprietors of... `the + Daisy Hills Sheep Farm' be wanting to get back at you?" + + "No, they got all the fines they wanted after the trial." + "`Bestiality'", Monk said bitterly, "god did that look good on my + dossier. Still, we're living in the '80s, all sorts of weird things are + happening. Hairstyles look like hedgehogs, girls are pumping iron, guys are pumping plastic. What is the world coming to?" + + "Mr Monk", I said, leaning forward over my desk, "May I ask, where did + you buy the leaky condoms?" + + "Sure, go ahead." + + "Where did you buy the leaky condoms?" + + "I got them from the dispensing machine in the Elizabeth Street + toilets. I often hang 'round there." + + After my new client, Mr Thelonius Monk, had left, I went straight to + the GPO and descended the stairs into the male lavatories. It was here + I questioned the attendant, a Mr Brett McMoron, who apparently was + always pottering around in the loos somewhere. I found him reading the + Trading Post... + + "Yes, I know him, the $'&(*$ $ ( %!" + + "I take it then you didn't like Mr Monk?" + + "Too right. You see this black eye? He did that." + + "Oh, what exactly happened?" + + "A little argument. He got pretty mad at me when I told him he + wasn't to do colonic irrigation in here anymore." + + "Tell me, are you the only one who can open that condom dispenser + over there?" + + "Yep, well, usually. I broke my key six months ago though. I was going + to get the master key off the guy who refills the machine but I was + away the day he came. Medical reasons, you know." + + "I'd heard you were pretty sick. What was your complaint." + + "One of those `Rare African' variety of diseases. Every time I sneezed + I had an orgasm. I went and saw... I think it was Dr Bowen, and he + gave me some snuff for it." + + At that moment, Satan's Daughter came skipping down the stairs, and + four guys suddenly became aware of how cold the metal urinal was. + + "Oh dear", said Satan's Daughter, "I've gone into the wrong loos again. + Sorry fellas!" + + Satan's Daughter hurried up the stairs, and I wiped the drool from my + mouth, commenting, "I'd love to see her suspended above my bed in a + steel harness. Then I'd roll my tongue around her naval and suck out + the naval fluff... oh!" + + "I once did that to Fire Fox", said Simple Sparks as he approached, "so + think up something original. I had her in the 6.9 position once, too." + "6.9?", I asked, "don't you mean the 69 position?" + + "No, we were interrupted by a period. Hi Brett, I've just come from + stall number three, and there's no toilet paper!" + + "Oh, god", groaned Brett, "there's none left. Here, take my newspaper + and use that." + + Sparks looked doubtfully at the proffered paper. "I'd rather use my + hand. If I wipe with the "Trading Post" I might catch ads." + + I went over to the dark corner where the condom dispenser was and + examined it. A large sign on it identified the machine as a "Franger + Mark 80 Condom Dispenser." I knew from my condom machine identifying + handbook this little baby could hold up to 365 prophylactics- enough to + make into a car tyre and call it a good year. Taking out my magnifying + glass, I examined the lock, and determined it had definitely not been + tampered with. I also noticed the side of the dispenser was scored with + a number of what I assumed were tiny cigarette burns. + + Then I noticed a figure lurking in the corner. + + "Who are you?", I confronted the figure, "identify yourself!" + + "Alex Rogan", came the reply, as the figure stepped closer. + + I sniffed. "You been smoking, Rogan?" + + "Why, am I on fire? Ha ha!" + + I didn't laugh. Instead I took out my photofit picture of Monk. + "You know this man?" + + Alex Rogan took the picture and studied it briefly. "Yeah, I know + Thelonius Monk, the bastard." + + "Why do you call him that?" + + "Well, it was a few weeks ago when I met him. He was buying some + condoms, and I was over there reading a porno... and he comes over, + and.................. + + --------------------------------------- + + MONK: What's that you've got? + + ROGAN: Deviant's Dictionary.

Rather like a ray of light refracting from water to air- deviated away from the normal. + + ROGAN: Will you just give that dictionary back!? + + MONK: Hmm, "D-O-R..... Dorter, Satan's.... hey, it doesn't have + an entry, just a reference. "See under `Star Hawk'", just + what's that supposed to imply? + + ROGAN: Are you giving it back or what? + + MONK: C... Cab, Taxi: laxative, yeah, I can believe that. Hey, + what's that ad on the back page? Hey, the new Latex Lady + model, I didn't know you could get them in Australia yet. + + ROGAN: You can't, you have to order them from overseas. I'm going to + get one sent for a good lay. + + MONK: One cent? I wouldn't even pay that! From what I've heard you + bang so often girls get headaches just talking to you. + + ROGAN: Fuck you! + + --------------------------------------- + + ....and so then he kneed me in the groin and nicked off with my book! + I'll tell you something, I'll make him sorry." + + "Hmm, that's very interesting, thanks for telling me that", I said, + thinking. + + I bounded up the stairs, only pausing half-way to turn and announce, + "Just remember fellas, three shakes and it's a wank." + + Returning to street level, I found myself eyes to nipples with the + biggest set of milk containers I had ever seen. On close examination, + one might have said one breast was a little smaller than the other, but + being an optimist I knew better. Taking a deep breath, I steadied my + hands, pushed my eyeballs back in their sockets, and rolled up my + tongue. Then I asked the young lady a few questions. + + "What's your name?" + + "Julie." + + "Cunt you- err, can't you be a bit more specific?" + + "Julie Alderman." + + "And just whore do y- where do you think you are, Julie? Isn't this a + slutly- um, slightly suss place for a beautiful piece of crump- for a + girl like you to be seen loitering?" + + "I have some information for you", she said, ignoring my question, + "about your Thelonius Monk case. But I can't talk to you here, there + are too many people about. Meet me tonight at eleven o'clock in the city square." + + "Hey baby, I'd meat you anytime, anywhere." + + --------------------------------------- + + That night, I walked at a brisk pace down Collins street, and glanced + at my watch. The time was 10:53. I turned left into the city square + and began a slow circuit of the fountains, looking for Julie. I + suddenly heard a moan from near the graffiti board, and wondered if + Julie had company, but then I found her "company" had just left. I + found Julie lying on the cold ground, writhing in a pool of her own + blood. I'd heard of heavy spotting, but this was ridiculous. Running + over to her, I found her wounds were bad, but not as serious as I first + thought. I lifted her head and patted her cheeks, but she was clearly + unconscious. Putting thoughts of how much money I could save out of my + head, I ran to the street and flagged down a yuppie-mobile, and used + the car phone to call an ambulance. + + --------------------------------------- + + "I'm afraid it's pretty bad", Dr Craig Bowen told me quietly, "she's + been bashed and someone's stabbed her in the breasts." + + "Well", I sighed, "no use crying over spilt milk, I've still got to see + her and find out what she wanted to tell me." + + "Well okay then", said Dr Bowen after a moment's thought, "but not for + long. She's just been given a sedative, and needs to rest." + + Dr Bowen glanced at his watch, "Sorry, but I can't join you, there's + been a massive outbreak of VD in the Broken Legs Ward, and I have to + find out what's going on. I think it must be going round on our + crutches." + + I opened the door to Julie's private hospital room. She was lying + limply in a sterile white hospital bed with bandages on most of her + visible skin. A male nurse was just recording her temperature on a + chart, and stepped back respectfully as I approached the bed. + + "Hello Julie." + + Julie opened a swollen, blackened eye, and seemed to look at me sadly. + She spoke in short gasps: "I'm sorry... so sorry..." + + I turned to the nurse, "Did she get those black eyes from her + `experience'?" + + "Well I don't think she's been trampolining recently!" + + "Julie", I said anxiously, "who did this to you? Was it the person + who holed Thelonius Monk's condoms?" + + "No...No, it was... 5th Dimension. One of my regulars. I don't mind... + mind the things he has me do... dressing up like little girls... but... but sometimes he goes too far. Never mind... I'll get even... + there'll be a... nasty shock when he... he sees his next Bankcard + bill." + + "What was it you wanted to tell me?", I asked slowly. + + "Well... it's like this. Monk had just been over... having a good... a + good time with me... and I was going out when... I found he'd dropped + his... his little black book. He'd been two timing me... twenty timing + me... I was so mad I vowed revenge.. Anyway... I got my purse and the + book... and I was going to see him. Going down stairs... I passed my + neighbour's flat... Dr Who's flat... and I noticed the door was... was + ajar, which... was strange since I knew... he was out... since that + morning. He never pulls the door... shut properly." + + Julie slumped back in her bed, panting from the effort, and her head + beginning to nod because of the sedative. + + "What happened then Julie", I insisted, "you must tell me." + + "I went inside. I... found the room empty... But then I saw + something... which caught my... my... my interest. I put my things down + and... and wondering... what it could be, I... went cautiously... over + to his workbench, cocking my head,... perhaps... It was some... sort + of machine. It looked like a science-fiction... weapon. There was a + piece of... paper stuck to it. I read it... and now Monk's condoms + all... have holes I think the machine... had... something to do with + it. I've written down what was... on the paper. It's... in my handbag." + + I quickly grabbed Julie's handbag, and went through it... biros, + address book, used tissues, tampons, large hat pit... and a piece of + paper. + + +----------------------------------------------_____________ + |D.

You're so + bloody slow!" + + "Tell me, has anyone else bought or stolen a device?" + + The Doc shrugged, "No." + + In a flash of intuition, I suddenly realised who had put holes in + Monk's condoms. I was certain everything everyone had said was true, + so it could only be one person. The next day I invited everyone who + was involved in the case over to my house for drinks. I didn't know + what to expect when I made my accusation, so I prudently slipped a + gun into my pocket.

"Glad to see you, Julie." + + "Oh, and I thought you had a gun in your pocket!" + + "Huh? Oh, one last person: Doctor Who." + + The doctor stepped in, and everyone sat down while I handed out vodka + martinis.

If you find that + when you wake up on Sunday you don't have a hangover then you didn't + drink enough the previous night, i.e. B-A-D party! + + If we take the above unit to be a can or stubby then this could + well be a typical schedule for the average person. If you are a + yuppie or some other rich bastard then by all means change the unit + to a larger one, or the imported variety. Feel free to modify the + above schedule to suit your lifestyle. + + Drinking is a skill that requires many months of preparation so as to + project the correct image, and condition your body. The first (and + probably most essential) skill to master is getting the drink from the + table to your mouth. + + Some points to remember: + * Hold the glass in your hand. + * Bend your elbow as you raise the glass to your mouth. + * Open your mouth before pouring the liquid in. + + Once you have mastered the art of getting the drink to your mouth + you should work on some other worthwhile skills. + + * Drinking two glasses at once. + Essential if you get to parties late. + + * Spilling your drinks so it looks accidental. + (Note! Try not to spill liquors or imported drinks.) + + Essential for social drinkers. Three main uses for this skill: + + 1. Spilling your drink in the direction of those loud mouth ass + holes that infest good parties but no-one knows who invited + them. Of course diplomacy directly proportional to the size + of the person your drink is now covering should be demonstrated. + + 2. For good looking women that you just don't know how to pick + up, try dumping a glass of Midori on their lap, and asking if + they wouldn't mind you licking it up. [Whipped cream? -Ed] + + 3. People get used to you being unco-ordinated, and come to + expect you to spill your drinks. Can be used to your advantage + if you ever do accidentally spill one. + + * Slurring words. + At the start of the party try slurring your words ever so slightly + when you are talking to people. As the night progresses you can + forget about intentionally slurring words. + + * What to say when drunk. "I'm not drunk osifer." + "I'm not under the affluence of incohol." + "I not as thunk as you drink I am." + "I like that odour arm de-underant you're wearing." + (Before passing out) "I thunk I had a luttle too mush tooo drunk." + + * What not to say when drunk. + "My shout." + "Gllllrrrgggghhhhhhh!" + + * Hangover Recovery. + There are three major ways to cope with hangovers. + + 1. Sit it out. This method is suited to the body builder types. + Make everyone think that your aren't hungover at all, and + eat a raw egg or three for breakfast. (Don't spew, ruins the + effect.) + + 2. Panadol and a good spew. Not the most elegant method, but lets + everyone know you were pickled the night before. + + 3. Stay drunk. Before you pass out the night before, make sure + you have at least half a dozen cans within arm's reach for the + morning. Before you open your eyes in the morning, drink two + or three. + + Next month we explore the art of junk food eating - when, where and + how much. + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ + ========================= + C O M P E T I T I O N ! + ========================= + + .------------. .------------. + ,/ \, ,/||||| ||||||||\, + / \ /||| ||||||||| ||||\ + | .--. .--. | |||||||||||||||||||| + -------| O|=|O |------- /|||| | |||||||| |||\ + ( .--.

With the second round of the Victorian Bullshit Spinning + League being held, I decided to head ringside to cover all the + action from the night's feature; the Tag Team match between the + AMF (Rishi Mehra and Turbo) versus Cefiar and Taxi Cab. + + Cefiar and T.C. entered the ring as odds on favorites, with + their reputation for spinning cronic bullshit, it was expected + the newcommers to the ring would be quickly outclassed. + + As I cracked open my thrid tinny, I noticed The Lensman in Bay + 13 was just beginning to get into his famous drunken frenzy. The + AMF team headed into the ring through a hail of empty fosters + cans. + + Pleasantries aside, each team headed to their respective corners + and the match began. T.C. was leading off for the veteran's + team, with Rishi Mehra leading off for the AMF. + + Rishi appeared rather subdued, and T.C. took the oportunity to + start of with one of his famous lines about his dad's sicopaths + attacking him. Rishi's defence was amazing. He just stood there + and ignored T.C. and began by calmly. "I own an IBM PS2 model + 120 which has a 386 processor running at 80 Mega Hertz! It has + micro channel architecture, but has a measly 120 Meg hard disk + but had VGA graphics and a multi-sync monitor." + + I was surprised to see Taxi take this so well, maybe he'd been sparring with Cefiar, or maybe he just didn't understand a word + of it. Rishi seemed a little off guard as he went to tag Turbo, + Taxi hit him with a wopper! "My Amiga has a Netcomm Trailbrazer, + and I download Gigabytes from the States for FREE!" + + Luckily, Rishi had managed to tag turbo. Turbo entered the ring, + and headed for Taxi's rear, maybe to cut off his escape, or + maybe he just liked the view from that angle. Turbo began with a + cutting comment, "My IBM has a Netcomm M5, and I download Tera + Bytes from the moon and they pay me to do it!" + + Taxi was clearly upset with this. He seemed to have been + momentarily stunned and Turbo began a full offensive; "Your mum + is a really good fuck!" sent Taxi into the ropes, where he + managed to tag Ceriar. This was turning into a really good + match. + + Cefiar entered the ring, as T.C. staggered under the ropes. + Turbo was about to launch another attack but Cefiar got in + first. "My computer is a Cray XMP... " + + He was about to continue as the bell sounded marking the the end + of the first half. An interesting note at this point is that + team matches are played in 10 minute halves whereas individual + matches are played in five minute quarters. + + The evening's half time entertainment was supplied by The Masked + Avenger. I think everyone got a good laugh from his strip tease + act. Fifth Dimension entered the stage with his banjo and began + busking, but decided to leave the stage after the only donations + he was receiving was the empties from Bay 13. He headed off in + the direction of the local kindergarden, maybe hoping to score + better there. + + The teams entered the ring again looking refreshed. Cefiar and + Rishi Mehra clashed head to head as the bell rang, luckily + Rishi's jocks didn't come off. Cefiar took the offensive, taking + up where he left off in the first half. "My computer has 120 + Tetra bytes of hard disk, and I have ten thousand users and 50 + thousand calls a day, and 30 million billion programs available + for download." Rishi reeled away as the full impact of the + Cefiar's attack hit him. Only just managing to tag Turbo he fell + out of the ring. + + Turbo eagerly entered the ring and was immediately hit by Cefiar + with an brilliant and unexpected attack "I scored 380 for my HSC + Anderson Score." This was the work of a professional Bullshit + Spinner. An excellent change of topic which caught Turbo off + balance. He quickly followed it up with "... and I was offered a + Rhodes' Scholarship, except I don't drink beer, so I had to + refuse." + + Turbo hit the floor, and for the first time thus far the crowd + began to really get involved in the match. Cefiar added to + Turbo's agony by saying "I've lost my virginity!" and tagged Taxi Cab. + + As T.C. enetered the ring, the Bay 13 Boys began cheering. + Partly because they were really enjoying the match, but mostly + because the full can of fosters I threw at him impacted squarely + in his groin. T.C. was down, and Turbo was crawling back to the + corner where Rishi eagerly accepted the tag. Cefiar looked on + helplessly, as Rishi entered the ring. + + Rishi didn't waste any time, and began with "I have a million + zillion disks full of pirated games in my bedroom." Rishi + quickly continued, and, although inexerperienced, was able to + effectively get another good attack in with "and I wrote a virus + for the Amiga in BASIC, and it only took me 5 minutes, and ... + and ... " + + Rishi made a fatal mistake, getting stuck for words he gave TC + the chance to make a come back. T.C. grabbed the oportunity. + "I called the States last night and talked to a couple of + hundred of my MATES!" + + Taxi's superior Bullshit Spinning abilities were obvious. Not + wasting any time he went on. "And then I bought myself a Corvett + using Alan Bond's gold AMEX card." + + It looked as if that was it. Rishi collapsed. Turbo was leaning + desperately into the ring, but just couldn't reach Rishi. Taxi + finished him off with "Disk Destroyer told me how to fuck a + girl, and she said I was the best she'd ever had!" + + Taxi started about his exploits with twins, two pairs of + handcuffs and a feather when the umpire interupted the match on + humanitarian grounds, awarding the match to Taxi and Cefiar. + + Overall it was a hard hitting and exciting clash this month. + Next month we'll try to cover the girls in the mud wrestling + match, which could get pretty dirty.

It was a wet and chilly morning, and I was + considering finding the puncture repair kit for Dianne. But duty called. + + I wandered down the alley to where Big Foot "lived". It looked much like + any other rubbish bin with the exception of the phone line, TV aerial + and letter box. It is at times like this that I wish I'd accepted the + offer as a Hinch reporter; joining in Paedophiles Unanimous meetings, + walking through the polluted drains of Melbourne and generally being a + total pain in the ass. Besides being in my natural habitat, I could + stay at home with Dianne. + + I knocked lightly on the lid, and waited for a response. For several + seconds I thought I may have been too late and that he'd already set + out job-seeking. Then I thought a second, and with my trusty baseball + bat began wildly beating the sides. + + It took about 5 minutes, but the lid popped open and two bloodshot eyes + peered out. His mouth opened, and muttered something to the effect of + "PHUCK ORPH" before the lid slammed shut. + + I was not going to be deterred from my exclusive interview. With a little + light bulb above my head I realised how to bait him out. In one of my more + casual tones I said "Mr Foot, your Dole Check.", and under my breath I + muttered "Three, Two, One..." + + With the force of one of Masky's farts the lid of the bin exploded open, + and Big Foot burst out, his tongue lapping his naked chest. Before he + could realise that I had out smarted him, I drove down to sex local shop, + bought some chains and a padlock, returned and managed to finish the + novel I took with me to while away the time. I snapped the chains around + his wrists and ankles and demanded my exclusive interview. + + Realising he'd been outwitted, he gave in. Disappointedly I put the whip + away. + + "OK Mr Foot, I would just like to ask a couple of questions. Firstly, have + you ever had a job?" + + "Ahhhh, well, it depends on your perspective and your, errrr, what you + mean when you say 'job'." + + "You mean NO don't you?" I sometimes amaze even myself with my ability + to decipher bullshit. I recommend to all the kids out there considering + a career in journalism to watch political speeches. If you can make sense + of it become a politician, it pays better! + + "Well, I consider it my job keeping the people in the social security + office busy, not to mention the post office and all the other people that + have to pay taxes." + + "Have you ever been to a job interview?" I asked thinking this will + show him up. + + "Well, yes, I did go to one once. I had to or they were going to stop + my dole cheques." + + "So what happened?" I asked in surprise. + + "They said I could have the job." He responded. + + "So why aren't you WORKING?" I was puzzled. + + "Oh, they only said I had to go for an interview, they didn't say I had + to work. Besides, if I had to go out and work I'd never have + time to call bulletin boards, or go to movies, or pinnie parlours." + + I was in a bit of a fix. There seemed to be some strange thread of logic + in what he was saying, I just couldn't seem to grasp it. I continued. + "OK, have you ever had a girlfriend?" + + "I met a girl once, she was in the social security office, and she + was friendly, does that count?" + + He seemed rather innocent, so I decided to drop that line of questions. + "I have one more question for you. Would you have a puncture repair kit?" + + "Ummm, is this a trick question?" + + "Never mind, I have some rubbers, and I'll make some glue when I get home." + + I removed the chains, and he slithered back into his rusty tin. I was + quite satisfied with my efforts, and after disconnecting his phone + line and TV aerial decided to call it a day. + + Next issue I'll be heading into the jungle with the desperate guys from + The Hard Rock Cafe hunting for a girlfriend. + + / + Lightening /_ Bolt + / + / + + + OTHER RESULTS THIS MONTH + ------------------------ + + Victorian Bullshit League: Cefiar 2 + BIGF00T 3 + Masked Avenger 7 + + Amateur Paedophiles Association: Fifth Dimension 1 + Masked Avenger He's One + Big Mumsy He's One Two + + Mudwrestling: Satan's Daughter 1 + Star Hawk 0 + + + ========================================================================== + + --------------------- + ANARCHISTIC COOKING + --------------------- + with Dianne Nichols + + + Darlings, + + Fred has finally given me my own spot in the highly regarded Anarchistic + Tendencies file. + + This month I have dug up a couple of recipes that I found scrawled on one + of the pages of volume 8 of my little black book. + + Hope you find them useful, and I'll be back next issue. + + Lustfully, + Di. + + + BANANA BREAD RECIPE + =================== + + INGREDIENTS: + + 2 Laughing eyes. 2 Firm milk containers. + 2 Loving arms. 1 Fur lined mixing bowl. + 2 Well shaped legs. 1 Banana. + 2 Nuts. + + MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: + + Look into laughing eyes.

You might end forming + a habit and not eating enough. Thus, if you are with friends + and there aren't any particularly fuckable women in sight, and you + pass near a McDonalds or other supplier of Prestige Foods, start + hassling them for money; even if you have to make all sorts of + promises. This also has another benefit, being that you develop + a skill for making promises and will improve your sex life! + + Not being broke before your next pay means you didn't drink/eat + enough. You should spend this residue in the forthcoming period. + + ***************************************************************** + * * + * NOTE: Syn's CHEESECAKES are NOT recommended-They BOUNCE TOO * + * MUCH and will bounce RIGHT OUT of your STOMACH! * + * * + ***************************************************************** + + As long as the food you eat has lots and lots of calories/kilojoules + then it is ok to eat and will fit into the diet well. For a guide + on about how much to eat for meals, use this table: + + (Just to be a bastard, I have made up a new system for measuring + energy in food. It is based around there being 2400 of these + units in the recommended food intake for one day of the Evil + Angel's Diet. The new unit is called the "Evil Angel" or "E.A.".) + + Each Meal | With snacks= 200 E.A. + +-------------------------------------------+---------------------+ + | 2 of the 3 main meals : 1,200 E.A. | 1,100 E.A. | + +-------------------------------------------+---------------------+ + | All 3 main meals : 800 E.A. | 730 E.A. | + +-------------------------------------------+---------------------+ + + The figures given here are recommended minimums, going over + them is no worry but under them is! Thus if you are eating + every 5 minutes of the day then don't worry unless you don't + have very big meals during the day, in which case try and make + sure you take in about 2400 E.A. per day. Anything less and you + are in trouble and will have to make up for it later. As a + comparison to other diets, most would recommend about half that + and that is being generous! Obviously the key to all this is + too eat 'bad' food and lots of it. It is preferable if the food + you eat is low in salt while high in calories or kilojoules. + + **************************************************************** + * * + * NOTE: CUCUMBERS are considered to be HEALTHY food. * + * So get rid of them now! [Unless you're female. - Ed.] * + * * + **************************************************************** + + To those who smoke, well what more can you do to your body ? + Really, what smoking does to you is reduce the amount of time + you could be around to enjoy your food and beer. More + importantly, the money you spend of cigarettes and lighters + could be much better spent on more important things in your life + like girlfriends and from the dieters point of view, more + beer/food. + + Notes about healthy foods: + -------------------------- + + 1. Healthy food fills you up. + (Makes it hard to eat a lot of other foods). + 2. On a gram/calorie (gram/kilojoule) ratio it is very low (BAD!). + 3. Doesn't make you fat quickly/easily. + 4. It's healthy! + + If you think what I have recommended here is bad for you, + will help you along the road to heart disease and other nasties + like that, well then you are DAMN RIGHT! + + Just as a side note, there is an old proverb that goes "you + are what you eat". What does that make vegetarians ? + + **************************************************************** + * * + * NOTE: DRUGS of ANY KIND are NOT recommended since they * + * are too popular with law enforcers as well as being * + * EXTREMELY BAD for you and not too high in calories. * + * * + **************************************************************** + + To top it all off, you must remember that it is NOT good to + do too much exercise. This reduces the effective amount of + kilojoules/calories in your body (doing aerobics is a no-no as + is watching it!). What's even worse, if you do too much + exercise, you can start loosing some of your well built up + stores! Thus it is recommended that you find a job where you do + minimal physical exercise - office work being a desk is the + best. (Sex is the sole exception, but don't over do it. After + all, man cannot live on bread alone!). + + I would have recommended the dole once but now it doesn't go + very far and isn't much to buy the essentials for this diet. + However, it does give you the opportunity to do nothing but lay + down all day! Be careful in the way you take days off (don't + want you loosing your job) in that you utilize them to the full + extent and do NO exercise at all. + + + The final note: in case you were wondering, 1 E.A. (Evil + Angel) = about 2.1 Calories, where 1 calorie is about 4 + kilojoules. Also, since we're not mathematicians, scientists, + or anything else along that line here at Evil Angels our numbers + maybe a little off. So if you disagree with my figures then + stiff shit. I don't care and neither does anyone else! + + + ========================================================================== + + ________________________________________________ + | | + | DEAR........... | + | | + | | + | ============ ____ ____ ____ ____ | + | // | | | | | | | | | + | // | | |____| |____| | | | + | // | | |\ |\ | | | + | // | | | \ | \ | | | + | // |____| | \ | \ |____| | + | =========================================== | + |________________________________________________| + + ---== By Raster Bite ==--- + + If it's not easy being green, you make people sick to the core of + their existence, you have no one to turn to, if you tend to seek + the septic refuge of the local graffiti wall, you may be interested + to discover that we at Evil Angles now offer an advice line.

I'll be happy to + reply to anyone else out there with problems in the next issue + if you leave me some mail on Twilite Zone. Oh, and a P.S. to + the Masked Avenger, no, there is no hope for you. + + ========================================================================== + + ====================================== + The Making of Anarchistic Tendencies + ====================================== + + A lot of people are interested in the activities of Evil Angels. + Some of the questions most commonly asked of us are; + + "Where do you get the ideas for your files?" + + "How do you manage to come up with such incredibly + imaginative and wonderful reading material in + such a short time?" + + "How do I become a member of Evil Angels?" + + And most regularly; "How about a fuck?". + + Well, the answer to the last question is, of course, + none of YOUR business (unless you ask us that), but we will now + attempt to show you what it is like producing these files. + + + STAGE I - The Theme + =================== + + The first stage in the creation of an issue of Anarchistic + Tendencies is the discussion and agreement on a theme. + + After the first slab, the ideas being to flow. Fred will say some + thing like, "What abowt iv we rite wun 'bout Masky!?" + + Ford Prefect will be sitting playing with his pussy. + + Masky will suddenly realise that his sex life [or rather lack + thereof -Ed] will come under close scrutiny, and makes other + suggestions. + + Three slabs later, Limmy will be trying to break the dunny, Fred + will be detecting virgins on The Twilite Zone, Ford Prefect will + be playing with his pussy, Masky will be unconscious in a pool + of his own vomit, and Vagabond will be in the corner clutching to + someone else's bottle of Midori. [Or what's left of it. - Ed] + + Hopefully somewhere around the second slab, a theme was decided + upon, and even more hopefully, before the demise of the forth + slab, some ideas had been discussed. + + + STAGE II - WRITING OF AT's + ========================== + + This occurs in several places. + + 1. Ford Prefect writing his bits, and uploading them to The Twilite Zone. + + 2. Fred compiles Ford's and the other's submissions at work, and + tries to add in as many comments as possible. [EXAMPLE -Ed] + + 3. About 3 weeks later a conference with as many people worthy of + being quoted is started, and Fred will occasionally burp and + say "Hee hee... That's a quote! " + + 4. About a month after Fred promised to have it release, Ford will + leave a nasty message to Fred asking why it has not yet been + released, and Fred will say, "Have a read of the pre-release..." + + 5. About a month after Fred's second promise that there is absolutely + no way it could possible be delayed any longer, Ford will leave + another message about why it has not yet been released. + Fred will burp, drink beer and make up three more fictitious + release dates, hoping one of them will satisfy Ford. + + 6. With Masky's contribution of some quotes and awards, Eliminator's + latest drinking [and bonking -Ed] efforts, and Fred's actually + getting around to doing things at long last, the file begins to + take it's release format. + + + STAGE III - RELEASING OF ANARCHISTIC TENDENCIES + =============================================== + + The momentous occasion has arrived. + + After Ford Prefect giving up all hope of ever getting a chance + to write something for the next issue, wearing his fingers to + the bone leaving abusive messages to Fred and stroking his pussy + bald, [LONNI!!! -Anon] Fred, Masky and Limmy gather around the + Twilite Zone one evening. + + To a symphony of Fosters [NOT VIC BITTER LIMMY -Ed] cans + being cracked open, the file is at last placed into the file + area on Twilite Zone, it is then uploaded to as many BBS's + as is possible that night before we are overtaken with alcoholic + poisoning. + + + ========================================================================== + + +--------------------------------+ + SOLUTION TO LAST EDITION'S MYSTERY + +--------------------------------+ + F O R D P R E F E C T + + Okay, okay, here's the denouement- the solution to the question + "Who's been putting holes in Thelonius Monk's condoms?" + + DOCTOR WHO. + + There were only three ways the holes could have been put in + Monk's condoms. + + i) Tampering with them while they were in the machine. Since + the lock had not been picked, and Brett lost his key long + ago, this is not the answer. + + ii) Tampering with the condoms while Monk was carrying them + on his person. The only person who could have got close + enough for this was Julie Alderman, but as she said, she + hadn't seen after she vowed revenge, so she couldn't have + done it. + + iii) The Doc's piercing devices. Everyone could have got their + hands on one of these. Alex Rogan bought one, Julie could + have taken one whilst snooping around his flat, and the + one that got stolen (if Julie didn't take one) could have + ended up in Brett's hands. But there is one problem. The + model of device in question was solar powered, and they + couldn't have operated in the darkness where the condom + vending machine was situated. + + However, the order form reveals the Doc had the ability + to build one that didn't rely on solar power. Doc himself + admitted no-one else had even a solar-powered device, let + alone one with a power pack, so no-one else could have + done what he did after building a piercing device with a + power pack- he took the device into the Elizabeth Street + toilets and shot tiny holes through the dispenser and its + condoms. + + His Motive? Julie had accidentally left Monk's black book + in the Doc's flat. His assumption- Monk had broken in. + The Doc was then worried everyone would find out about his + strange sexual practices, and vowed to get revenge. + + Epilogue: The Doc went on trial (at the same court as Fred + did in AT10) and was found guilty. His sentence: 10 years + in Pentridge without trousers. Suffer, Doc! + + [Suffer?

New York was a city that never closed up for the night... things just +got a little quieter. + +At night, certain minorities crept out of the dives... drunks, muggers, drug +pushers... and turtles. + +Leonardo surveyed the lonely street intently from under the slightly raised +manhole cover, then looked down and whispered, "It's all clear, fellas, let's +go." + +The manhole cover grated against the bitumen road surface, and four +figures crept into the night. + + --------------- + +Meanwhile, ten miles below the city, in the spherical armoured fortress known +as the Technodrome... + +"Ooohh, Shredder, I can't stand this!", ranted Krang as the lights on the +bridge dimmed and wavered uncertainly like Disk Destroyer at the front door +of a girl's house. "We must get more power, WE MUST!" + +Krang nudged a joystick in front of him with one of his protuberances, and +his body flicked a row of switches on the console in front of him. The lights +blacked out completely for a moment, then returned to normal brightness. + +Krang turned around to face Shredder. "All we have left is the energy in a +few backup storage cells. When that's gone we're finished!" + +Shredder knew it was unwise to ask stupid questions when Krang was in a mood, +but he eventually asked "So how are we going to get more energy?" + +"By eating Nutri Grain of course!", spat Krang sarcastically, "You fool +Shredder, don't you think if I knew how to get more power I'd have done it +by now!?" Krang turned angrily back to the console. "And where are those +moronic mutants of yours?" + +"I gave them the night off." + +"Hmm... what's this?", Krang wondered aloud as he turned up the sound of a +nearby television monitor. + +"... This is April O'Neil, with a Channel Six News Update. Four people are +missing feared dead when a boat sank five miles off the New York coast. The +boat was being used for the laying of underwater telecommunications cables +at the time, and authorities say-" + +Krang flicked the monitor off with a snicker. "This gives me an idea, +Shredder. The telecommunications system. THERE'S a line of attack we haven't +tried yet." + +"Yes", moaned Shredder, "but a line of attack that will be foiled by the +turtles as usual." + +"If we do it HERE perhaps, but the turtles couldn't stop us if we tried it +overseas. In, say, Melbourne, in Australia?" + +"In AUSTRALIA? How on earth are we going to get there?" + +"We may not have enough power to raise the Technodrome but I'm certain we +have enough to bore our way under the crust to Melbourne." + +"Are you sure?" + +"I'm as positive as Lance Link's blood tests." + +"Well, if you're THAT certain, I'm going to get Bebop and Rocksteady. I'm +taking my usual transport module." + +"Why do you always take the biggest module?", asked Krang suspiciously. + +"I happen to like it", answered Shredder vaguely. + +"I bet it's just a penis extension!", hissed Krang. + +"Ha! Well at least I've got something to extend Krang!" + +"Ooooh Shredder, you can be cruel!" + + --------------- + Meanwhile, topside, in the "Cefiar's Face" pizza parlour on 69th street, +the waitress, Blue Fox, looked down with distaste at the pizza she was +carrying, and set it down at the table where the turtles were gathered +wearing trenchcoats and hats. Then she left to talk to her boyfriend and +chef, Ivan Trotsky. + +"Oh, perfectamondo!", exclaimed Michaelangelo, "the banana and mushroom pizza +we ordered!" + +"Y'know", said Leonardo, as he reached for a slice, "it sure has been quiet +recently." + +"Yeah", said Donatello between mouthfuls, "it's probably about time for +Shredder to hatch another evil scheme." + + [Fearless Fred has similar paranoia attacks; when his board has + been running a few weeks without any hiccoughs, he begins to wonder + what horrific problem is slowly manifesting itself - Raph] + +The turtle's chatter was interrupted as the restaurant doors were kicked in, +and a certain rhino and warthog bounded towards the turtles' table with +blasters ready. + +"Hey, looks like we found the turtles!", said Bebop. + +"Yeah", grinned Rocksteady, "and am I in the mood for turtle-trashing!" + +"Sorry horn-head", said Michaelangelo, "but we've got other plans!" + +Leonardo and Michaelangelo lifted the table and heaved it at Bebop and +Rocksteady, sending cutlery and pizza everywhere. Rocksteady fired blindly, +his shots blowing fragments of plaster out of the ceiling. + +As the four turtles dived for cover in different corners of the pizza +parlour, the other patrons began screaming and running for the exit. + +By the disintegrated door, Blue Fox and Ivan Trotsky looked on with horror. +"I'm getting out of here!", Blue Fox yelled to Ivan. + +"Yeah, this is too much for me as well. Animals talking and destroying the +place. We'll go to my house. Oh, but if my pet sheep has started talking as +well, anything it says about me is LIES, okay?" + +Blue Fox and Ivan joined the rush through the door. + +Meanwhile, Bebop and Rocksteady were firing randomly, hoping to hit one of +the hidden turtles. Raphael bobbed up from behind one of the tables, and +threw one of his sai at a hanging ceiling lamp. The sai severed the cable, +and the lamp crashed onto Rocksteady's skull. + +Avoiding Bebop's fire by doing a back flip, Raphael joined Leonardo behind +the salad bar. + + [Remember kids, these guys are professionals, don't try this at + home! -Ed] + +"Got any plans, Leonardo?", asked Raphael. + +"Yeah! This!" + +Leonardo leapt over the salad bar at Bebop as he drew one of the katanas that +were strapped across his shell. As Bebop levelled his blaster, Leonardo +sliced the barrel off. + +"Hey!", grunted Bebop, "no fair circumcising the weapons!" + +"Got you now, shellback!" Rocksteady had found Donatello crouching behind an +overturned table. Donatello quickly swung his bo and connected with +Rocksteady's head. + +"Oww, I wish you guys would stop doin' that!" + +As the mutant rhino unsteadily brought his blaster up, Michaelangelo jumped +up from behind the counter, and threw one of his nunchakus. Rocksteady gasped +as his blaster was knocked to the other side of the room. + +Michaelangelo followed up the attack by hitting Bebop with an entire deep-pan +pizza. + +"Ahhhh... what a waste of good pizza!", he sighed. + +"BEBOP! ROCKSTEADY!" + +All turned to see Shredder silhouetted in the doorway. + +"Leave those turtles, we've got a Melbourne telecommunications system to take +over! Get outside into the module." + +As the mutant rhino and warthog ran across the splintered tables and chairs, +Leonardo stepped forward. + +"Right Shredder, time for us to settle a few old scores." + +"Sorry, reptile, but as much as I'd like to oblige, I've got more important +things to do!" + +With that, Shredder hurled a small canister at Leonardo's feet. It broke +open, and the parlour was instantly filled with a choking red haze. + + [SMOKING CAUSES LUNG CANCER. Health Authority Warning - Ed] + +"Boy", coughed Donatello, "there's more smoke in here than Fred's bedroom +when he lights up after sex!" + +"I've found the door", yelled Raphael, "over this way!" + +Outside in the carpark, the turtles found a circular hole in the bitumen +brimming with molten lava. + +"We're too late", said Leonardo bitterly, "they got away." + +"Hey, listen up compadres...", said Michaelangelo as the sound of police +sirens became audible, "We'd best be making turtle tracks." + +The four turtles headed for the nearest manhole. + + --------------- + +"... and that's what happened, Master." Back in the lair, Leonardo finished +telling Master Splinter, the mutant half-rat who had trained them in the art +of ninjitsu, his account of what had happened on the surface. + +"Hmmm...", mused Splinter, "this is very bad." + +"And who or what is this Melbourne?", asked Raphael. + +"Not who or what, but WHERE, Raphael", said Splinter as he got up and ran a +claw over the titles on a bookshelf. + +Finding what he was looking for, Splinter brought an atlas back to the circle +of seated turtles, and opened it to a map of Australia. + +"Australia, huh?", said Donatello, as he left the room, struck by a thought, +"maybe we should rename this story `Shredhead Goes DownUnder'." + +"See here", said Splinter, pointing, "Melbourne is the capital of Victoria." + +"I though Victoria didn't have any capital any more." Michaelangelo put in. + +"Melbourne is the Capital City." Splinter corrected him. + +"Like, what would old tin grin want with a branch of Australia Telecom?", +asked Michaelangelo. + +"I don't know", said Leonardo, "but we've got to follow him to Melbourne and +find out." + +"Wait a minute, what if Shredder's just trying to slip us a red herring?", +asked Raphael. + +"He's not", said Donatello, coming back into the room with some sheets of +computer paper, "I just took some seismic readings. Take a look. The +Technodrome's definitely moving." + +Michaelangelo looked doubtfully at the squiggly lines. "Couldn't that +vibration just be Eliminator breaking someone's foundations?" + +"NO, it could only be the technodrome. Besides, if you look here, the +readings show that the source is going, not..." + +Leonardo turned to Splinter interrupting Donatello, "Will you be coming to +Australia with us, Master?" + +"Yes Leonardo, Shredder already has a head start on us. It will take our +combined skill to defeat him." + +"Umm, how are we actually going to GET there?", asked Raphael. + +"No probs", said Donatello, handing out small booklets, "by plane. I once +forged us some passports in case we ever needed to go anywhere." + +Michaelangelo opened his passport and looked at his photo. "Don't you think +our turtle faces in these photos are gonna look a bit suspicious?" + +"Are you kidding?", asked Raphael, "have you seen the average passport photo? +Even Star Hawk looks like a paper-bag job." +"Well what are we waiting for", asked Leonardo, getting up, "lets pack +whatever's essential, tell April where we're going, put timers on the lights, +and head for the airport!" + + --------------- + +Somewhere under the Pacific, the technodrome was chewing through the Earth's +crust and making good time. + +On the bridge, Krang was piloting the technodrome while Shredder looked on. +The door behind them slid open, and Bebop and Rocksteady lumbered in, wearing +fresh band-aids. Bebop leaned over to Shredder. + +"Hey, boss", whispered Bebop, "what's the plan?" + +"Krang refuses to tell me the whole plan, but stage one is to take over the +Telecom building in Melbourne, Australia." + +"Err, how we gonna do that?" + +"By increasing the amount of chloroform they put in their air-conditioning +system." + +"Awwww", whined Rocksteady, "but I don't wanna go to Australia!" + +"Shuddup", answered Bebop, "and keep swimming. Ha ha, I made a funny!" + + --------------- + +At dawn, the scene at La Guardia Airport was one of organised chaos. Having +purchased tickets for the next flight to Melbourne, the turtles and Splinter +were being bored in the concourse lounge, and watching people sneaking drugs +through customs and not finding their luggage on the carousel. + +On the tannoy, Inka Princess announced in nasal tones, "Trans-World Airlines +announces the last call for flight 33 to Finland. And would the passengers +taking the early flight to Brazil fucking put it back on the runway!" + +"Boy, this is an ultimo snore, dudes", moaned Michaelangelo, looking glumly +at the carpet. + +Getting up, he wandered over to the observation window, and pressed his beak +up against the glass. + +Another announcement came over the PA, "Attention passengers, TWA flight 12 +to Melbourne, Australia, is now boarding at gate five. And a special +announcement to our ground staff, would Brett MacMillan and Taxi Cab PLEASE +stop kissing each other near the hangars!" + +"That's our flight!", said Leonardo, "let's go!" + +Splinter and the turtles boarded the plane and found their seats. Raphael was +sitting next to a window on the left side of the plane. To his right sat +Splinter, and next to him was Donatello. + +Across the aisle from Donatello sat Michaelangelo, and next to him was +Leonardo's seat. + +As Splinter settled back in his seat, he told Donatello, "You know, the last +time I flew in an aeroplane was when I fled from Japan." + +The stewardesses - Brigitte Lambert, Julie Alderman, and Ech!? - boarded the +plane and headed for the rear section. + +By the galley, Brigitte Lambert, picked up the PA microphone and "advised" +the passengers in her best plastic voice, "Good morning ladies and gentlemen. +Welcome aboard TWA flight twelve to Melbourne Airport, Australia. Before +takeoff, we advise you to lock your seats and trays in the upright +position... hmm, upright position, wonder if there's anything under that name +in the karma sutra... err, where was I? Oh, fasten your safety belts, +extinguish all smoking material, and glance over the emergency instructions +card. + +"Remember that in the event in a mid-air explosion, there will be a notable +lack of wings, and a sudden depressurisation problem. This sudden drop in +pressure will be apparent by your ears popping and by Julie Alderman's tits +exploding. You will all find a TWA-regulation parachute under your seat. If +used, women are advised to pull the right cord or risk bleeding to death. If +Steven Pastry is onboard, he is advised HIS chute will open on impact." + +"Shortly after takeoff Ech!? will be bringing around the refreshments +trolley, and let me just say now she's a right little tart and a full-fledged +member of the Mile-High Club. So if you like doing it in aeroplane dunnies, +she's the one to grope!" + + [I hope ECH!? never reads that, and if she does I didn't write it -Ed] + +Not long after that, the plane began moving forward. The vibration of its +motion along the tarmac suddenly fell away as the plane left the ground. When +the plane had stopped climbing, the captain made an announcement over the +P.A. + +"Good morning ladies and gentlemen. This is Horace Mash, your pilot. We have +achieved our cruising altitude of 30,000 feet and should be landing at +Melbourne in the evening, local time, where it is currently 14 degrees. Enjoy +your flight." + +There was a thud over the PA system as the microphone was put down, but +turning it off had apparently been forgotten. + +"Another boooooooring flight", complained Cadet Ace, the co-pilot. + +"Well, it has its compensations", argued the pilot. + +"Like what? There's NOTHING to do in Melbourne." + +"Well, when we land we can always head off to St. Kilda." + +"What's there?" + +"YOU KNOW. FITZROY street, in St. Kilda!? Visit some bars, get pissed, pick +up some cheap root-rats." + +All the passengers were almost pissing themselves laughing by this time, so +Julie Alderman ran, red-faced, to the cockpit to turn off the P.A. + +"Hey, you needn't hurry!", yelled Raphael, "he wants to visit a bar and get +pissed first!" + +Soon, Ech!? appeared from behind the galley curtains, pushing a squeaky +trolley laden with food and drinks. + +"Ah, excuse me", Michaelangelo called to her, leaning out into the aisle, "I +wonder if you might get me a little snack? A little peperoni and honey pizza +would be bodacious." + +"Michaelangelo", warned Leonardo, "you'll spoil your lunch." + +"Hey chill out, I'm not spoiling my lunch, I'm just supplementing breakfast." + +"I'll see what I can do", said Ech, "but I don't know if we have that sort +of thing." She turned to Donatello, and asked sweetly, "Can I get you +anything? Would you like some of our TWA coffee?" + +"Oh, no thanks lady, I don't like coffee very much, but I wouldn't mind your +TWA tea." + +{Slap!} + +"Owwww! Hey, what was that for? What did I say?" + +The flight to Melbourne was fairly uneventful, with Splinter and the turtles +alternately dozing and flipped through the boring in-flight magazine. The +plane touched down at Melbourne Airport at about 5:30 pm local time. +Michaelangelo bounded into the arrival lounge, "Alright! Australia at last, +I can't wait to try my first lamington and vegemite pizza!" + +"Lamington and vaginal WHAT?", exclaimed Leonardo. + +"Vegemite!" + +"Yuck, it sounds disgusting!", said Raphael, "What is it?" + +"I think it's a mineral extract", said Donatello, as he thumbed through a +small glossy booklet. + +"What makes you think that, Donatello?", asked Splinter. + +"Well in this `Guide to Melbourne BBSes', it specifically states Ice Man +drills for vegemite." + +"Boy, it sure is cold in Melbourne", shivered Leonardo. + +"I agree", said Donatello, "I'd forgotten it would be winter here. I wish I'd +brought my turtle-neck sweater." + +After getting their luggage and going through customs, the turtles sought to +hitch a ride into the city. + +A heavily battered Gemini pulled over beside them and the hung-over looking +driver with a crumpled cigarette in his mouth wound the window down. +"Where you (hic) headed?", he slurred. + +"To the Telecom exchange, in the city, are you headed in that direction?", +asked Splinter. + +"Well, more or less", said Fearless Fred (who was the driver, if you hadn't +guessed), "I can drop you off by the Queen Victoria Market. Get in." + +Not realising the danger, Splinter and the turtles got into Fred's car. + + [My driving is NOT that bad any more! I haven't hit anything for + days! Well, nothing important anyway. -Ed] + +The trip passed uneventfully for a while (if you call ripping two phone +boxes, three small shrubs and a letter box out of the ground uneventful), +before Fred turned around and spoke. + +"So who are you guys, anyway?" + +"We're the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.", said Leonardo. + +"You're TURTLES? And I thought it was my driving making you green! So, what +do you do, as turtles?" + +"We're here to save your city from two evil tyrants named Krang and +Shredder", said Donatello, "so you could say we fight for peace." + +"Fighting for peace", said Fred quizzically, "isn't that like fucking for +chastity? Or investing in Pyramid?" + +"Well, they're going to take over Telecom", said Leonardo. + +"Oh, that's all I need", said Fred. "Something else to endanger Melbourne's +BBSes. I'm a SysOp, you know. Well, semi-SysOp, anyway." + +"Uhhhh...", moaned Splinter, as Fred rounded a corner with two wheels off the +ground, "how much longer is this ride going to last?" + +"Well we're getting nearer to the city now." + +"Like, how can you tell, dude?", asked Michaelangelo. + +"It's obvious, he's hitting more cars", observed Raphael. + +"Not to mention pedestrians!", gasped Donatello as Fred's car hit a speed +hump and left the road briefly, landing with a distinct thud. + +"What the hell are you talking about?", asked Fred irritably, as one of the +panels from the rear didn't make the last jump. + +"I'm talking about those two nuns, that guy on the bicycle, the traffic cop +and that gardener in the park.", said Donatello. + +"That gardener doesn't count", complained Fred, "all I did was get his hose +caught up in the bumper bar." + +"Yeah, and now he'll never have sex again!", said Leonardo. + +Fred suddenly spotted a convenient parking space, and wrenched the steering +wheel around violently, expertly applied the hard brake, preyed, and entered +the space at 60 km/hr and slewing into the parked car in front. Fred reversed +to straighten up, and smashed the headlights of the car behind. Driving +forward into the car in front again, Fred turned off the engine. + +While Fred got out to moodily flick specks of foreign car paint off his +bumper bar, Splinter and the turtles fell out of the car and staggered onto +the footpath. + +Fred walked up to Splinter, scribbling something down on a notepad. + +"Look, I don't want anything to endanger my board... so, if you need any help +or anything, here's my number and address, okay?" + +Fred tore the top sheet off the notepad, handed it to Splinter, and hurried +off into the night on some errand of his own. + +"Alright Leonardo", said Raphael, "you're the leader. What next?" + +"We have to infiltrate the Telecom Building. I propose we disguise ourselves +as Telecom workers and sneak in." + +"Ha!", laughed Raphael, "Telecom workers, what a contradiction in terms!" + + "Yeah", agreed Michaelangelo, "like that's almost as bad as saying you're +an Arts student!" + +"One problem, Leo", said Donatello, "don't you think these green beaks of +ours are gonna look a little conspicuous? Not to mention Master Splinter's +fur." + +"Don't worry... I've got an idea...", said Leonardo as he gazed thoughtfully +at a freshly painted sign on a nearby building: + + --------------------------------------- + | VAGABOND'S RUBBER DOLLS - SEE INSIDE. | + --------------------------------------- + + [I wonder what his girlfriend will have to say about this? -Ed] + +Splinter, Donatello, Raphael and Michaelangelo followed Leonardo into the +large warehouse full of clothes racks. Each of the racks held several +coat-hangers with alligator clips which gripped the shoulders of a +sad-looking, deflated rubber doll. + +"Heeeey, guys!", bubbled Vagabond as he approached them from the other side +of the store, "NICE trenchcoats! And nice dressing gown too!", he added, +seeing Splinter's kimono. + +Splinter drew himself up indignantly, "This happens to be a kimono." + +"Kimono? What, is she Yoko's sister or something? Anyway, you after a doll? +I've got all the latest." + +Vagabond lifted a coat hanger holding a limp female form from one of the +racks. "This one's a life-sized doll of Julie Alderman, just one hundred +dollars. Or I've got some Satan's Daughters back there, again only one +hundred dollars." +As far as it is possible for something totally green to turn red, that is +what Leonardo's face did right now. +"Ahh, no... that's not quite what we're looking for... my god this is +embarrassing" + +"Heeeey, guys, I UNDERSTAND. Fortunately for you I have some excellent, +realistic male dolls, each with a life-sized solid rubber digit." + +Vagabond began sorting through a number of dolls on coat-hangers, reading the +attached labels. "I've got a Lensman here for a hundred bucks. Or for the +same price I can get you a Thelonius Monk. Or I can get you a Masked Avenger +for fifty." + +"Why is this Masked Avenger fellow so cheap?", asked Splinter. + +"Well, you need less rubber..." + +"Look", said Leonardo, grabbing five dolls at random from the closest rack, +"we'll just take these." + +"Certainly sir", said Vagabond, taking the cash that Leonardo offered him, +"would you like them gift-wrapped or will you eat them here?" + +"Let's get OUT of here", muttered Leonardo. + +Outside, Michaelangelo asked, "Hey dude, what did we get these bogus things +for?" + +"You'll see", said Leonardo with a smile. Drawing his katana, he neatly +decapitated one of the dolls with a single stroke. + +"I don't get it, what are you doing?", asked Donatello. + +"I think I know", said Raphael, drawing one of sai. Raphael cut out the eyes +and mouth of the plastic face, which Leonardo squeezed down onto his own +head. + +"Hmmm...", said Splinter, "not a wonderful fit, but I do believe it will +pass." + +With a whoop of excitement, the turtles set about shredding the dolls and +trying on their new human facemasks. + +"Well", said Donatello, as he pulled his mask down, "at least we don't look +like turtles and a rat now." + +"Yeah", said Michaelangelo, "but with these trenchcoats and plastic faces we +look like a whole army of living Inspector Gadget dolls." + +"Come on", said Leonardo impatiently, "let's not waste time." + +They headed for the Telecom Exchange. + + --------------- + +Roughly forty-five minutes later, they arrived at the Telecom Building. + +In the foyer, they walked past the snoozing receptionist, and an out-of-order +pay phone, and tried to walk nonchalantly passed the two foot soldiers +guarding the elevator, hoping their disguises would work. +The two foot robots leaned forward to look blindly at them, but apparently +considered them authorised personal, since they did not hinder them as they +stepped into the lift. + +Leonardo hit the button for the top floor, and the elevator took them past +several floors. They past a floor of directory-assistance operators ignoring +the phones ringing in front of them... a floor of line-noise generating +specialists... the floor of professional line-crossers... and a floor of +people listening in on conferences conversations and going "beep" every +twenty seconds. Finally the lift delivered them at the executive level. + +When the lift doors opened, Splinter looked up and down the corridor, then +beckoned for the turtles to follow him. + +They arrived at a large door labelled "Private", with a window in the upper +half. Peeping through the glass, Donatello gasped, "It's Shredder and Krang!" + +"You were expecting Peter Garret?", whispered Raphael, pulling him away from +the window. + +Splinter and the turtles knelt down and listened at the door. + + --------------- + +"Well Krang", they heard Shredder say, "now we have total control of Telecom, +what's the next stage of the plan?" + +Gleefully, Krang boasted his plan. "I now have unchecked access to Telecom's +computers, and their lists of phone numbers. I shall breach their security +and compile a list of all Melbourne Bulletin Board numbers." + +"Oh, you're a hacker are you? Got any calling cards, NUIs or other phreaky +things?" + +"Shut up! I shall also find out who runs these boards and where to find them. +Then I shall kidnap these `SysOps' to get top access to every board, and then +via these boards spread a new, malignant computer virus which will rapidly +infect every machine in Melbourne. With my virus controlling every computer +in this city, my power will be unmatched. Ha ha ha!" + + --------------- + +"I think we've heard enough", whispered Splinter. + +Splinter and the turtles crept back along the corridor. When they were +half-way to the elevator, its doors opened, and out stepped Bebop and +Rocksteady. + +"Hey, what are you twerps doing here? You know this floor is out of bounds!", +snarled Bebop. + +"Err.. yeah, our mistake", bluffed Michaelangelo, inching towards the lift. + +"Hey, wait a minute!", yelled Bebop, squinting closely at Splinter's mask. +A quizzical expression crossed the mutant warthog's face before he reached +out and ripped the plastic face away. + +The two mutants almost fell backwards with surprise. +"It's that ninja rat!", cried Rocksteady. + +"That's not all, Rocksteady!", said Leonardo as the four turtles removed +their masks and drew their weapons. + +As Rocksteady and Bebop reached for their blasters, Splinter jumped into the +air, and dealt Bebop a vicious kick to the stomach. As he folded up like a +house of cards, Raphael and Donatello tackled Bebop and brought him to the +floor. + +Behind them, Michaelangelo knocked out a window pane with one of his +nunchakus, and Leonardo attached a grappling hook to the frame. Trailing his +climbing rope down the side of the building, Leonardo climbed out of the +window saying, "I'm outa here, and you're all invited!" + +While Bebop and Rocksteady lay winded on the floor, the turtles and Splinter +hurriedly scaled down the rope. + +Wincing, Rocksteady climbed to his feet, drew his sword, and began hacking +at the rope. + +One or two floors up from street level, Raphael stopped climbing down the +rope, and asked in a worried voice, "Hey, why's the rope vibrating?" + +"I dunno", said Leonardo, "just keep cliiiiii..." + +The rope went totally slack as, several floors above them, Rocksteady +succeeded in his attack on the rope. + +The turtles and Splinter were suspended in mid-air for a moment, still +clutching the useless rope before gravity asserted itself and they plunged +to the ground. + +"Saved by the shell", muttered Raphael, as he got up and checked for broken +bones. + +"Uh, I feel as if the technodrome just flattened me!", moaned Donatello. + +"Yeah, I know what you mean, dude!", said Michaelangelo, hobbling on a jarred +ankle. + +"We must leave here, and quickly", said Splinter, rubbing a sprained wrist. + +"Yeah", agreed Leonardo, "this place'll be swarming with Foot as soon as +those two freaks report to Shredder." + +The small group headed towards the centre of the city, eventually passing a +public phone booth. + +"Hey", said Raphael, "let's call that SysOp who gave us a lift. I bet he'd +help us, especially when he finds out what danger his board's in." + +"Yeah, great idea", said Leonardo, pulling some change out of his coat +pocket. + +They waited outside the booth while, inside, Thelonius Monk made a call. + +"Hello son, is mummy at home?" +"She's busy." + +"Busy doing what?" + +"She's in bed with her gym instructor." + +"What!?" + +"I said she's in bed with her-" + +"I heard you, now look, you've got to kill them. Both. Use my hunting rifle." + +{Pause} + +"Okay, done that." + +"Alright son, you have to get rid of the gun. Throw it the lake at the park." + +"But we don't live near a park." + + +"Oh, err, oops, wrong number." + +Monk hung up guiltily, and slunk off into the night. + +Leonardo entered the booth, and dialled. The phone burred twice, then there +was a click and an ambient crackling. + +"... Hello, this Fearless Fred speaking. I can't come to the phone right now, +cos I'm probably coming somewhere else. But if you're an extremely +promiscuous young woman, please leave your name, number, address, height, eye +and hair colour, bra size, annual income, and details of diseases and +favoured sexual position after the beep, and I'll get back to you... or back +inside you... as soon as I can. And please don't tell Lonnie about this +recording. And if you ARE Lonni this is all crap anyway..." + +{Beeeeeeep} + +Leonardo looked dismayed, and put the phone down. "It's a recording", he told +the others, "we'll just have to... catch a cab, I guess." + +When the taxi dropped them off at Fearless Fred's house, it was obvious, from +the sound of loud music and disintegrating furniture, that a typically +destructive Fearless Fred Party was in full swing. + +Leonardo walked up the front steps, and rang the doorbell. + +When the front door opened, their ears were assaulted by an unresolvable +mish-mash of sounds: bottles and tinnies being opened, Masky throwing up, +people shouting to each other, a rhythmic squeaking of bed-springs, people +telling obscene jokes, other people shrieking with laughter, eggs exploding +in the microwave, and the stereo playing the Hi Tek 3's "Spin That Wheel" at +full decibels. + +Fred stared from the doorway. + +"Hey, you guys, I wasn't expecting you!" He noticed their haggard, injured +expressions, "What happened?" +"We had a nasty fall", said Leonardo, briefly, "We'll explain later, but +right now we have to ask you if..." + +Leonardo was interrupted as a female voice from inside called out over the +din. + +"Hey, Fred!" + +"Oh NO", muttered Fred, then as loudly and brightly as he could, "Yes, +Syn?" + +"I've just been looking through your medicine cupboard", shouted Syn as she +weaved her way through the heaving crowd towards the door, "and I've found +something weird." + +"Oh shit", whispered Fred, "she's found the flavoured ones." Shouting again: +"Oh yes, what's that?" + +Syn was by the front door now. "It's this little box. On it, it says `Toupe +Tape', what's that?" + +"I'll take that", snapped Fred. "Oh, Syn, these are the Teenage Mutant Ninja +Turtles and... err, a rat." + +The turtles and Splinter introduced themselves by name, then Splinter turned +to Fred. "We hate to impose on you, but we need a place to rest. We were +badly injured." + +"Yeah", said Syn, looking at Donatello, "you guys ARE looking a little +green." + +"Well, I suppose you could stay in the study, besides it'll give you an +insight into being a SysOp", said Fred. + +Fred led the group through the party to the study, and despite the noise, and +the constant beeping of people paging the SysOp, they fell asleep almost +instantly. + + --------------- + +The next morning, while Syn - who had not gone home after the party - made +breakfast, Fred nursed a horrific hangover as Leonardo told him about +Shredder's plan. + +"... and since you're a SysOp, we want you to contact all the other Bulletin +Board operators and warn them." + +"Hey, no probs", said Fred, "I'll start leaving messages right after a +caffeine boost." + +But it was already too late. +As dawn broke, it looked as if it would be a chilly but surprisingly clear +day in Melbourne. + +In the city square, by what was once the graffiti board, a small crowd had +gathered for a Doodz Domain meet. Those present were introducing themselves +when, without warning, a transport module exploded from beneath the ground, +and landed heavily, cracking the concrete paving. +The heavy curved door opened, and Shredder stepped out, followed by Bebop and +Rocksteady. As the bulletin board users gaped, Shredder spoke quickly into +his communicator. "Krang, I've surfaced the module, which one is Lance Link?" + +Shredder turned the communicator towards the sea of scared faces. Back in the +technodrome, Krang half-leaned out of his body, to get a better look at a +nearby monitor. + +The monitor displayed an ancient piece of data from the technodrome's +information banks, on the subject of recognising certain users... + +-------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Numb ->20 + Sub ->Recognition +From ->FEARLESS FRED (#83) V52 +Date ->13/05/88 08:20:44am + [What I was awake at that hour of the day!? -Ed] + +Don't worry, you'll have no problems... + +1.

Try to find out yourself." + +Back at the city square, Shredder spoke to the group of users, and, +foolishly, Lance answered him... +"Lance?" + +"Yeah?" + +"Can I ask you a question?" + +"Oh no, not this again!" + +Shredder leapt forward and grabbed Lance's limp wrist with one hand, holding +the knuckle-razors on his other hand by the terrified SysOp's throat. + +"Don't move sysop, or else! You're going to help me take over your board. And +none of you others move! STOP!" + +But the panicked BBS users, save Lance Link, had made a break for it.

We gotta run!" + +Rocksteady looked forlorn as the last users disappeared along Swanston +Street. "Aw, gee boss, they got away!" + +"He he, not all of them!", snorted Bebop. + +Rocksteady and Shredder turned to see Bebop with his blaster covering a +terrified group of nerds who had evidently tried to run up the stone steps +to Collins Street, but had been too slow. + +The group consisted of John Calvin, Turbo, Rishi Mehra, Blue Adept, Peter +Ham, and Spectral Image. In other words, the AMF. + +"Hey", grovelled Rishi Mehra, his voice shaking, "we weren't going anywhere. +In fact, we could probably help you, if you're planning to take over a board. +We once tried to take over the Twilight Zone, and really fucked it up, didn't +we guys?" + +The other members mumbled in the affirmative. + +Shredder narrowed his eyes suspiciously, then spoke into his communicator, +"What do you think, Krang?" + +"Hmm, I don't altogether trust them, but bring them back to the +technodrome. Hehe, I have ways of telling whether they are sincere or not." + +Laughing, Krang shut down the communications channel. + +"Right you two", said Shredder to Bebop and Rocksteady, as he pushed Lance +Link into the transport module, "they're coming with us. But keep an eye on +them." + +Shredder stepped into the module, and Bebop and Rocksteady herded the AMF in +after him. When they too were inside, Bebop slammed down the hatch. + +The transport module turned around, and disappeared down the borehole it came +up through. + + --------------- + +Half an hour later, Rishi Mehra was sitting in an oversized metal chair in +one of the labs within the bowels of the technodrome. Various clamps held his +arms, legs and head immobile, while a spaghetti of coloured wires led from +a nearby console to electrodes placed on his skull. Overall, the effect was +not unlike a hi-tech electric chair. + +While the AMF cowered in a corner, under the watchful eye of Rocksteady and +Bebop, Krang was hunched over the expansive console, muttering obscure +Dimension-X expletives. + +"What's this equipment supposed to do, Krang?", asked Shredder. +"It's SUPPOSED to measure brainwaves, but these fuckwits don't have any! I +wanted to probe their minds to test their loyalty..." + +Shredder glowered over Rishi. "You, CONCENTRATE!" + +Rishi thought hard. The smell of smouldering sawdust filled the room. + +"Still nothing!", spat Krang, exasperated, "These guys are dumber than those +mutants of yours!" + +"That's not possible!", chuckled Shredder. "Anyway, I'm returning to the +surface for another SysOp." + +Shredder patted his pockets, and a worried look crossed his face. + +"Krang, have you seen my communicator?" + +"Uh oh", muttered Turbo, turning away to face the wall. But he had been heard +by Shredder. + +"You! Where's my communicator?" + +"Well, umm, Mr Shredder, well with its colour and shape... it looked so much +like a steak that I... umm... barbecued it." + +"Oh my god!", screamed Shredder, "They ARE dumber than Bebop and Rocksteady!" + +"Here", said Krang, holding out what resembled an electronic compass, "take +this instead." + +"What's this?", asked Shredder, taking the device. + +"A Sysopometer. It homes in on a brainwave characteristic shared by all +SysOps. Now go, you've much to do." + +Shredder waved for his two hench-mutants to follow him, and headed for the +transport module bay. + + --------------- + +In the Royal Botanic Gardens, the low rumble of traffic along Alexandra +Avenue was suddenly blotted out by another rumble from deep underfoot. +Shredder's transport module erupted from underground and landed with a thud +on the neatly mown lawn. + +Shredder stepped out, followed by Bebop and Rocksteady. Shredder quickly +checked his Sysopometer, and glanced sharply in the direction of the +Ornamental Lake, amazed as he began to hear loud orgasmic shrieks and moans. + +Realising his presence would be an embarrassing interruption, Shredder pushed +his way noisily through the bushes towards the sounds. + +When Shredder crashed into the clearing, with Bebop and Rocksteady behind him +with their blasters ready, he found Janine and Night Stalker sitting three +metres apart on the bank, flushed and trembling and staring straight forward +at the water. + +Shredder quickly scanned the scene, noting the blanket that had been hastily +rolled aside, and the condom that had been flicked into a nearby rose bush. + +"There's bigger pricks in that now than there was five minutes ago, I'll +bet", he thought. + +"Am I INTERRUPTING something?", sneered Shredder. + +"No", said Stalker, without moving his eyes, "we were just fishing." + +Sure enough, he and Janine each had a fishing pole with the float bobbing in +the water. + +"Ohhh", said Bebop, "I though I smelt fish." + +Suddenly Janine gave a squeak and began yanking on her line. "Oh, Nightie, +I think I've caught something!" + +"You can't have", exclaimed Stalker, "I was wearing the bloody franger!" + +"No, no, on my line!" + +Janine and Night Stalker looked slightly sick as they realised they had given +each other away. + +Shredder laughed without mirth, "Your charade is fooling nobody, it's as fake +as Lonnie's orgasms! [Raph, you're in trouble! -Ed] Bebop, Rocksteady, grab +that SysOp and take him back to the transport module!" +Bebop and Rocksteady grinned, happy they had someone to push around, and +began to shove Stalker in the direction of the module. "Sex maniac!", +Shredder hissed after him. + +"That's quite funny", spat Stalker, looking back, "coming from somebody whose +head-gear looks like a battery-operated sex toy!" + +Shredder stiffened in fury, and Stalker hardly saw the blow as Shredder +gouged his knuckle-razors down the side of his face. When Stalker managed to +stop screaming uncontrollably, and fought down the gut-wrenching nausea +building up within him, he opened his eyes to see Shredder's bloodied razors +ready for a second blow. The anger was obvious in his eyes. + +"If you weren't so important to Krang's plan you'd be sushi right now", +Shredder said softly. Shredder glared at Stalker for a moment, then nodded +for Bebop and Rocksteady to take him away. + + --------------- + +In the city, Splinter and the turtles were back at the Telecom Exchange. + +"Why did we have to come back here?", complained Raphael. + +"Because the technodrome must be right underneath it!", explained Leonardo. + +Sneaking in through a back entrance, they crept down a dark stairwell, and +found themselves amidst the phone lines, where telecom technicians once did +macrame with the wires, and installed line-noise generators. + +In the middle of the basement, a transport module lay beside a gaping hole +in the floor. + +After they had gotten into the module, Donatello studied the controls, and +engaged the auto-pilot. The module sealed itself, shook violently, and began +drilling down to the technodrome. + + --------------- + +In the technodrome, Shredder was alone, looking through the bars of a huge +jail cell that stood at one end of a vast computer complex. The cell held all +the SysOps Shredder had "collected", as well as a few ex-SysOps that the +Sysopometer had stilled homed in on; Cefiar Channadrac, Lance Link, The +Alien, Night Stalker, Craig Bowen, Bruce Wayne, The Masked Avenger, and +Captain Kirk. + +Krang entered the room, and walked up behind Shredder. + +"Admiring the trophies, Shredder?" + +"Yes, did you get their passwords?" + +"Yes", said Krang, gleefully, "things have been going good today. I even +worked out what I should do with those AMF morons." + +"Oh, what's that?" + +"I had a few of them `volunteer' for my famous mutagen experiments. I doused +Rishi Mehra with mutagen after he'd come in contact with a sea-slug." +"That must have produced something interesting!" + +"Well actually, nothing happened! I had a little success on Peter Ham +though." + +Shredder turned and looking at the array of computers that took up most of +the room. "Have you connected with all these SysOps' boards yet?" + +"Not quite, Doodz Domain is still engaged. When we're connected to all of +them I'll start distributing the virus." + +"I sure hope this scheme works, Krang! I've checked the power levels, and we +can forget drilling back to New York unless we get some serious energy." + +"Don't worry Shredder, by this time next week Melbourne will be humbling +itself at our feet." + +"Want to recheck that schedule?" It was Leonardo. + +"The Turtles!", gasped Shredder, spinning around, "and Splinter, my sworn +enemy! I'll flay the lot of you!" + +"Noooo, Shredder", said Krang, holding him back, "let's try some mutant power +on them." + +"We're not going to let Bebop and Rocksteady get beaten up again?" + +"Noooo... let's try something else. Peter Ham, GET IN HERE!" + +A side door slid open, and Donatello gasped. "Yikes, who or what is THAT!" + +Peter Ham, once human (?), was now basically reptiloid: a greenish skin with +the suggestion of scales and a tail, with several flaps of green-grey skin +hanging down around his neck. As he stepped forward, hissing, Krang explained +like a museum curator, "I thought since we were in Australia I might +experiment with the local fauna. Chlamydosaurus Kingii. Peter Ham is now half +frilled-neck lizard!" + +"How ironic", smirked Shredder, "the turtles are going to be destroyed by a +distant reptile relative!" + +"Peter!", Krang shouted, "Sick 'em!" + +Donatello stepped towards Peter Ham, with his bo raised ready. Rasping, Peter +lunged forward and cut the bo in two. Donatello looked surprised and worried +simultaneously, and flipped back as Michaelangelo took the offensive and +began battering the half-lizard with his 'chaks. + +Meanwhile, Raphael and Splinter kept Shredder busy, but made sure they were +never in range of Shredder's blades, for they knew how developed his fighting +skills were. + +"Shredder, behind you!", wailed Krang. + +Shredder turned to see Leonardo use his katana to break the lock on SysOps' +cell. Flinging the door open, he shouted, "All of you, out, and get ready to +run!" + +Shredder went towards Leonardo, momentarily forgetting about Raphael and +Splinter. Raphael leapt and kicked Shredder in the small of the back, sending +him flying into Krang. + +"You're getting sloppy, Shredder", said Raphael, "perhaps you'd better stick +to doing Ryobi commercials." + +As the two tyrants picked themselves up, Leonardo shouted to Michaelangelo +and Donatello, "Hey, you guys, let's wrap this up!" + +Donatello nimbly ducked down behind Peter Ham, and as Michaelangelo shoved +the mutant hard, he fell back over Donatello and onto one of the computers. + +As Donatello and Michaelangelo ran for the exit, where Raphael, Leonardo, and +Splinter were hurrying along the SysOps, the computer console Peter had +landed on sparked and a sheet of flame burst through the vents along the +back. A monitor cracked open, and smoke poured forth. An unhealthy crackling +issued from the computers, and began getting louder. + +"Quickly Krang", shouted Shredder, "the disk with the virus on it, +save the disk, it's the only copy!" + +"Forget the disk!", screamed Krang, pushing Shredder out of the room, "just +run, it's going to go up!" + +Peter Ham was left alone in the room, confused, and looking at the two exits +at opposite ends of the room, which had been used respectively by Splinter, +the turtles, and the SysOps; and Krang and Shredder. + +As the computers around him exploded into countless fiery shards of metal, +Peter Ham's volume increased sharply and he expired. His last thought was +disappointment that the greatest sexual experience in his life was perving +at the ads for Escort Agencies in the Yellow Pages. + + --------------- + +Since they couldn't possibly all fit in the transport module, the escapees +found one of the technodrome's hatches, and now watched from an enormous +subterranean cavern as the technodrome's turbines started up and it began to +bore it's way through the Earth's crust in a southerly direction. + +As it disappeared into the inky blackness, Splinter sighed, "We may not have +won the war, but at least we won the battle." + +"Yeah", said Raphael, "we saved Melbourne's SysOps." + +"And his virus is gone for good", added Donatello. + +Michaelangelo peered up the borehole that led to the Telecom Exchange +basement, "Like, I hope you SysOp dudes are good at climbing!" + + --------------- + +Later that day, the turtles and Splinter made their goodbyes. Fred and Syn, +who had tagged along, were seeing them off as they climbed down a storm +drain. + +"It'll take a bit of time to accumulate the stuff we need, but eventually +we'll build a cosy little lair somewhere in Melbourne's sewers", explained +Raphael, as he and Donatello disappeared down the tunnel. + +"See ya then", said Fred, "just watch out for any nosy Hinch reporters doing +Sludge Files down there." + +"Will do", said Leonardo, following Splinter and Michaelangelo into the pipe. + +Fred replaced the cover on the storm drain, as Syn sobbed, "You know Fred, +I'm really going to miss them. Especially the four turtles." + +"Why's that, Syn?" + +"Well (sniff), they're the only people I've ever met who've actually LIKED +my cheesecake!" + + --- The End --- + + +----------------------------------------------------------------+ + -------------------- + ANARCHISTIC SPORTS + -------------------- + By Lightening Bolt + +I had been looking towards this month's assignment with a certain amount of +anxiety. I mean how often does the normal person get sent into the depths of +the steamy Amazon to watch Cefiar jerk off. + +But, never the less, I am a professional, and when duty calls I answer. + +The day was like the past four I had spent on the trail. The air was so humid +you could bottle it, the sky was hidden behind the canopy of tropical ferns, +which in turn were hidden behind the swarms of mosquitos, and other vicious, +biting, stinging and annoying insects. + +My guide was an amazingly gorgeous amazonian woman. Her long, sensuous +legs appeared to continue beyond the strategically placed leaves which were +obviously there to frustrate me. As I adjusted my pith helmet, I could feel +the pounding in my loins. I was counting the hours until autumn! + +We slashed away at the infernal jungle. This place was hell! I could feel +thirst scratching away at my throat, and vital fluids pouring from my body. +I could have died of thirst had I not found my bottle opener! + +As I sipped on a particularly warm bottle of Dom Perinion (1974 is not at +it's best served warm) I spotted something which aroused my curiosity. + +A young native girl, her face contorted in horror, ran into my butler +screaming something about the Head Shrinkers going mad. I knew I was on the +trail of a major story here, so we plodded onward into what seemed imminent +danger and probably a slow, painful death. + +As my party arrived at a clearing in the jungle, we were surprised to +discover our goal. It was Cefiar. But, to our horror we saw that he was tied +to a totem pole, naked! + +I felt sure that this scene was what the young native girl was escaping. Some +depraved mind had devised this inhumane torture for that poor sysop. After +my initial moment of hesitation, I knew, as revolting as he was, Cefiar +deserved to be saved, so I paused to examine the situation in detail. + +On the far end of the clearing was a small hut made from the large tropical + tree leaves found around here. To the right of the hut were the remains of +a large fire from the night before. In the middle of the clearing Cefiar was +bound by woven vines to a totem pole in the shape of a grossly disfigured +phallus. He was tied facing pole, his bear buttocks facing the hut where I +guessed his captors were contemplating his fate. + +It took every ounce of my will (and several ounces of marijuana which I'd +found on the way) to raise the courage to creep into the clearing. I crouched +behind the pole to which Cefiar was bound. With my trusty machete I carefully +cut his bindings and whispered "Your free!". + +Cefiar turned to face me, and it was then I realised the full extent of the +madness of the Head Shrinkers obviously practising their perverted art on +Cefiar. Between his legs... it was terrible! Until now, I had thought The +Masked Avenger had a small dick, but poor Cefiar! A prick like that couldn't +even pop a balloon! + +I looked him in the eyes, and with all the sympathy I could muster without +bursting into laughter I said "I'm sorry." + +"Well so you bloody well should be!" Cefiar replied. "Isn't anyone allowed +one little sexual fantasy? OK, so now it's out... I like being tied up and... +things! Now go away and leave me and Gungadin alone!" + +I stood there for a minute contemplating the scene. As I stood there, a +native emerged from the leaf hut. If he'd had the same skin colour, the same +facial features and was about 4 inches taller I would have sworn it was John +Holmes. + +Realisation came quickly, and I promptly left. + +Next month I have been assigned a Top Secret assignment. So I can't say that +I'll be getting the low down on The Masked Avenger! + + + OTHER RESULTS THIS MONTH + ------------------------ + + Card Killing: Fearless Fred 1 + Raster Bite 0 + + + Womanising: Fearless Fred 1 + Masked Avenger 1 + Cefiar 0 + Tasha 5 + Vagabond 1 + [At long last! -Ed] + + Riding Trojan Horses: Da Wombat 1 + + Making Little Wombats: Anudda Wombat 1 + + + +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ + ---------------------- + THIS EDITIONS AWARDS + ---------------------- + + HOON OF THE MONTH.........................................

(And we're not talking about baths - something Fred and +Lonni must regret!) + + VOICEOVER: In last week's episode, Captain Fearless was in training for his +mission when he lapsed into hallucination. His tour of duty in Vietnam was +replayed before his eyes, and restored his memories of the horrific accident +that ended a possibly brilliant career in professional high speed maniac +driving. [Impotency??? -LN] + +Meanwhile, the evil oil baron, T.M. Avenger was in a particularly foul mood +at discovering his adopted second cousin's half brother, Gordie T. Cab, in a +wardrobe making love to a MALE rubber doll. "I always thort ya was a flamin' +closet homosexual! Get out! I never want to see your pimple spotted face in +here again!!" + +Gordie was thrown out into the street where, unknown to him, a murder was +taking place in an alley close by. The allegedly dead person was none other +than Lance Link who was to be the best person at the marriage between Night +Stalker and Janine. [Fuckin' women's Lib!!! -LN] + + --------------- + +The experiment was scheduled to begin at eight hundred hours. A specially bred +monkey had been chosen to be the "guinea pig" in this history making voyage. A +voyage inside a living being! + +Fred, the captain, burst through the door, followed by Raphael Turtle. The crew +of two paused, Raphael and Fred studied the room as Fred made himself a mug of +coffee. A bank of computer consoles lined the opposite wall. There were no +windows in this room. It was buried 18 floors beneath the infamous corporate +offices of Avenger Oil, and the view would have been pretty uninteresting; +worms and that sort of thing. + +The wall behind them was hospital green, that sort of colour that always looks +as if it needs a fresh coat of paint. In the centre of the room stood a large +metallic device that looked almost, but not entirely unlike a car wash gone +drastically wrong. It was in fact the culmination of years of research, and +mega bucks of funding. It was a machine capable of shrinking matter. + +"The Avenger" had been prepared and was ready for the shrink phase. From the +outside it resembled a heavily armoured submarine. The only noticable +difference being the lack of a periscope. + +The subject for the experiment, fondly called Cef, but whose real name shall +remain strictly confidential, was brought into the laboratory. He looked +slightly nervous, which is strange considering the amount of mind dulling +chemicals that had been intravenously added to his bloodstream. + +Fred, also known as Captain Fearless, continued studying the room. He studied +the room mainly because it made him look more mysterious and clandestine to the +half dozen technicians that stared in awe when he entered the room. Being one +that thrived on such stares, he stared thoughtfully for just a little too long +at one of the terminals as if to indicate that something was wrong, which +coincidentally there was. + +The technician that was responsible for making sure that the little green +flashing lights continued to flash green was horrified by the red flashes. +Nonchalantly, Fred walked over to examine the thing that looked almost, but not +entirely unlike a car wash gone drastically wrong. He stared at it, but the +effect had seemed to have worn off, the red flashing lights seemed to occupy +the full attention of most of the people in the room. In fact they attracted so +much attention that no-one noticed that the room now contained one body less +than it had about two minutes ago. + +Fred was rapidly becoming upset at the red flashing lights, which had now begun +flashing amber. The technicians ignored Fred even more. In an attempt to regain +their attention he strode over to the vacant stainless steel table. + +"I was under the impression that the subject was going to be prep'd and ready +by now", Cap'n Fearless said as he stared at the theatre table. + +"He is..." one of the lower ranking technicians said and glanced up, and +completed the sentence "OH SHIT!" + +It appeared that Cef wasn't as dumb as he looked and everyone thought he was. +He'd pissed off! + + --------------- + +"Woman", T.M. Avenger yelled at one of his secretaries. "I like my coffee the +way I like my women; White, Warm and Wet. Now get me some decent coffee, and +get rid of that body in the corner, it's starting to smell!" + +"Well sir, you really shouldn't shoot your doctors when they tell you..." +[BANG!] "...ahhh!" [Thud] + +"I never could stand women telling me what to do." T.M. mused as he pressed a +large red button on his desk and yelled "Slut! Get me another secretary, and I +want another doctor to give me his opinion. And this time make sure he knows +what MY prognosis is!" He slammed his fist on the button again. [footnote: +"Masky's prognosis" is that his inability to have sex is nature's way of giving +lesser mortals a chance at the women.] + +To himself T.M. considered what one of his former [and late] personal +physicians had told him; + +"There is a large blood clot within your penis and this is causing your... +inability shall we say to... ummmm... perform, and also causing your headaches +and difficulty in relieving yourself. Unfortunately, your headaches are +symptomatic of Phlacidphallusitus, which in extreme cases such as yours could +be fatal. As it is such a, let's say... delicate organ, there seems to be only +two solutions, excuse the pun. Firstly, we could operate. But the only +micro-surgeon capable of performing such a delicate operation was, ahhh, fired +by yourself. Secondly, we could simply amputate..." + +[BANG!] + +T.M. could feel another one of his headaches coming on. He wished that the team +of scientists he had been funding would complete their testing. His only hope +lay in the Shrinking Machine that could shrink a surgeon down to the size of a +blood cell, and remove the clot from within. + +Impatiently he stood waiting for his coffee, but as the seconds ticked past his +vision blurred, the room began to wobble, and he stumbled, and collapsed into a +heap on the floor... + + --------------- + +Even from outside the pollution stained cathedral the grand organ pipes could +be heard. An entourage of limousines, body guards, onlookers and TV reporters +lined the street as the bridal limousine drew to a halt at the base of the +steps. + +Janine looked resplendent in her elegant white gown, and the lengthy train that +followed. At the altar stood Night Stalker, still hung over, and nursing the +bruises from his bachelor party. His nervousness was partly due to the lack of +a best man, [person -Ed] [Funny that!!! -LN] but mostly due to the proximity of +marriage. + +The organ began the bridal march. Janine, linked arm in arm with her father +figure Craig Bowen, was escorted down the aisle to the altar. The procession +followed in step. + +As Craig released Janine's arm he commented to himself that he'd always wanted +to give her something, but giving her away was not what he'd fantasised about. + +As Janine drew next to Stalker, and they knelt before the magnificently robed +clergyman. + + --------------- + +At top speed, the medical team trolleyed T.M. Avenger [Or "Kinko The Avenger" +as he is known to his closest enemies as. -Raph] into the operating theatre on +sub-level eighteen. While several of the technicians strapped the unconscious +oil baron down on the table, Lensman, the leading technician, pressed a button +next to an intercom. + +In a nearby room, Captain Fearless answered the intercom, "Yes?" + +"You and Raphael get ready to board The Avenger, NOW!" + +"Why? What's happened?" + +"Just get in here!" + +Raphael tossed the newspaper he was reading to one side as he and Fred rushed +out of the room. The paper fell first-page up, showing part of the leading +story: + ____________________________________________________________________________ +| | +| PROSTITUTE FORCED TO "SHELL OUT" ONE MILLION | +| | +|The four legendary "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles today made legal history by| +|being the first reptiles ever to appear before a Court of Law. | +| Crowds cheered the Turtles outside the Melbourne Law Courts after they won| +|their case against Ms Aphelia Bottom, a local prostitute. | +| The Turtles were suing Ms Bottom for defamation after she claimed to have | +|slept with one of them, a story which shocked the green quartet. | +| "It's completely untrue", Raphael was heard to testify.

"Pull +up your surgical masks", he ordered, nodding towards the masks which hung +around the necks of Fred and Raphael. + +"You in the middle of an operation?", asked Raphael, as he pulled hard on the +ties on his mask. + +"No, I just can't stand the sight of your ugly faces..." Lensman began. + +"Phew! What the hell is that smell?" Fred cut Lensman off, while holding his +nose away from the offending odour. [Masky's breath??? -LN] + +"We've got an emergency. Mr Avenger's collapsed, landing in a decomposing body, +that's the smell. It's that clot in his dick. Our only chance of saving him is +by using The Avenger to do ultramicro-surgery." + +"But we haven't even tested the equipment!", protested Fred. + +"And why should we put our necks out just to save him?", added Raphael. + +"Because", said Lensman patiently, "there's a LOT of MONEY involved." + +"Sounds good to me!", said Raphael, "Let's go!" + +Captain Fearless entered The Avenger first, followed by Raphael, who sealed the +hatch. Fred strapped himself into his chair closest to the front viewing port +of the submersible, and began a well-rehearsed check of the drive controls. + +Behind him, and slightly to the left, Raphael did a similar scan of the +navigation equipment. + +Fred spoke into a grill on the console, "Okay, we're ready." + +There was a violent lurch as the technicians conveyed The Avenger into the +thing that looked almost, but not entirely like a car wash gone drastically +wrong. + +"Ready for shrinking process", called out the technician who had been so +horrified by the red and amber flashing lights, but had decided perhaps it was +best just to ignore them, as there was not only no mention of them in the +technical reference manuals, but they seemed to have changed back to green when +the Cafe Bar was refilled with water. + +"Okay, do it!", replied Lensman. + +The technician ripped down a slide-lever, and a barrage of lasers aimed and +fired simultaneously at The Avenger, their energy slowly forcing its molecules +closer and closer together. Within a minute The Avenger was almost invisible, +still suspended in mid-air by the lasers, and still getting smaller. + +"How far do you want it to go?", asked the technician. + +"Set the controls for `Very Very Small'." + +The technician's hands worked expertly at the controls. When the Avenger was at +a suitably microscopic size, all the lasers cut off, save one in which the ship +was still suspended. This last beam guided the ship into a thin syringe before +it too turned off. + +"Ready to inject", said the technician. + +"Let the machine handle it", replied Lensman, who didn't feel like doing +anything so menial as handling a syringe. And besides, one of the technicians +had just arrived with a video of last night's episode of "Let The Blood Run +Free." + +A robotic claw gently took the syringe, and began moving towards Masky's body. + +"Did you tell Melissa (Melissa & Kinko have a purely Platonic relationship.) +[Does that mean it's play for her and a tonic for him? -Raph] Kinko might cark +it before we can remove the clot?", the technician asked Lensman. + +"Yep." + +"How come you get all the good jobs? SHIT!" + +The technician swore as the malfunction that his equipment had detected +suddenly reared its ugly head. One of the joints in the wrist of the robotic +hand shorted out with a small plume of smoke, and the hand went limp in a way +that anyone who has met Lance Link would find curiously familiar. The syringe +fell and its tip embedded itself in Kinko's flesh... in the wrong place. + + --------------- + +"We are gathered here today to join this... man, and this woman together in +holy matrimony." The priest began the marriage rights. "You all know the usual +stuff that goes on, so let's get to the important bits. Stalk, do you? And +remember there's magnum pointed at your groin." + +"Ummm, well, I suppose so." Stalk replied uncertainly. + +"Janine, do you?" + +"Of course I do, get on with it." Janine replied hastily, putting the safety +catch back on. + +"Then repeat after me. I, Night Stalker, do hereby take this desperate nympho +who's the worst soapie bitch since Joan Collins, to be my lawfully wedded wife. +For richer or poorer, in good health and bad, not including any of the +incurable things spread around by sex." + +Stalk repeated the vows. + +"And Janine, repeat this. I Janine, do hereby forcably take this man to be a +complete sex object to be exploited in every way possible until such time as he +dies of a cardiac arrest or you dump him in the affair-and-divorce sequence the +script writers have probably already got planned for the next season." + +Janine repeated the vows. + +"Is there anyone present who sees any fit reason why these two should not be +joined together in the sickeningly sweet Marriage Of The Year, to be repeated +tomorrow at the special time of 6:30, and also get a major article in the TV +Week?" + +"Yes!" A voice broke the silence at the rear of the church. + + --------------- + +Meanwhile, at the microscopic level within the body of Masky, Fred and Raphael +were quickly reaching the same conclusion... + +"Shit!" Fred exclaimed. "I think something's gone wrong upstairs. This is +definitely not Masky's bum, I can't spot a zit anywhere." [Obviously you're +an expert in identifying Kinko's ass -LN] + +"What do we do now?", asked Raphael, giving up on the now-useless navigation +console. + +"Let's head upwards. If we're in his leg we'll pass by his dick on the way, if +we're above his dick, we can drop by his stomach, I'm feeling peckish." + +Raphael didn't comment, as The Avenger made it's way up a vein. + + --------------- + +Everyone in the church turned around to stare at the figure in the doorway. It +was Eliminator. + +"No, Janine, don't you remember the feelings we had for each other? The love we +used to share?" + +F/X: Violins. + +Janine winced. "No Limmy, we drifted apart, it's all over now. Anyway, your +contract with the producers ran out." + +Night Stalker looked aghast, put the back of his hand to his forehead, and +turned to stare furiously at a pot plant in the corner, as all amateur soap +opera stars do in dramatic scenes where they don't have any lines. + +"Please Janine! I can't live without you!" + +"Limmy, please don't put me in this position!" [The 69th??? -LN] + +"You can't marry Night Stalker! I've been searching through some old parish +records, and he isn't what he says he is! The real Earl of Stillwater died +three years ago!" + +"THAT'S A LIE!", screamed Night Stalker. "Anyway Eliminator, you can never +marry my beloved legally. I know all about the repressed childhood you had, +your miserable existence in the orphanage! Janine is your missing mother!" + +Janine broke down into tears. "I'm sorry Limmy, but it's true. It was a teenage +pregnancy, I had no choice but to give you away." + +"I won't believe it!", said Eliminator uncertainly. + +"It's true", said Craig Bowen softly. Janine looked at him with an expression +which changed from puzzlement to recognition. + +"Craig!", she wept, "it can't be you! Craig Michaels?" + +"Yes Janine, I'm so sorry I had to leave you. But I was framed with drug +charges. I had to change my name and have plastic surgery... I've been on the +run from the police ever since!" + +Janine pushed Eliminator and Night Stalker aside, and threw her arms around +Craig. "Oh god I missed you! This wedding should be OURS!" she sobbed. + +Craig shook his head sadly. "I'm sorry Janine, but I got the results of the +tests back this morning, and I've only got six months to live." + +"Oh, well screw you then! And Limmy, I still have no intention of marrying +you." + +"Then I'll kill myself, and take all of you with me!", screamed Eliminator, +holding up a hand grenade. + +All: GASP! + + --------------- + +As Fred had not been watching where The Avenger was headed (he was trying to +scratch bits off the Emergency Instructions plaque with a razor blade so the +remaining letters spelled out rude words and phrases), it came as quite a +surprise to him as well as Raphael when it ran aground, bucking wildly. +"Shit!", shouted Fred as biros and pieces of paper flew across the deck. + +Fred quickly slammed the sub into reverse and floored the accelerator, swung +the steering wheel to full lock, pulled the hand brake, hit the accelerator +again and was about to press the Vertical Take Off button when he gained +control of himself. [Sounds familiar... -LN] + +They were well and truly stuck. Fred eased off the power as Raphael unbuckled +himself to peer out of the viewport. All around the vessel was a vast, empty +space stretching off in all directions. The two decided the only thing to do +was to get out and push The Avenger clear. + +They left the vessel, with Fred wearing an oxygen tank and rubber mask over his +nose and mouth, and Raphael relying on his turtle's ability to hold his breath +for long periods of time. + +Fred looked around them, trying to locate the origin of a mournfully wailing +wind. "Where ARE we?", he asked. + +Raphael looked down and scuffed his boots against the metallic floor. + +"Hey, this must be the metal plate in Masky's head. We're in his brain!" + +Fred parted a curtain of cobwebs, and peered at what appeared to be some kind +of machinery. "Hmm, looks like he's stripped the gears in his brain-box." + +"Hey, listen! Do you hear something?" + +Fred held his breath to stop the rasping of the breathing in the facemask, and +narrowed his eyes as he heard... voices. + +"There's someone in here with us!", Fred exclaimed. + +"Do you think they sent in another team to help us find our way?", asked +Raphael. + +"Dunno, let's find out", suggested Fred, heading in the direction of the +voices. + +The voices led them down a flight of spongy, tissuey steps into Masky's +cerebellum. At the bottom of the steps, Fred and Raphael were amazed to find, +nestled between two lumpy, greyish red walls, a door, made of dark oak and +complete with panels and a brass handle. + +A sign tacked to the door, written in an elaborate, flowing script, said +"Meeting In Progress", and inside someone was ranting like Derryn Hinch. + +"What the hell is THIS?", asked Fred. + +"One way to find out", said Raphael, as he pushed the door open. + +As they stepped through the door, several dozen pairs of eyes - some of them on +stalks - swivelled around to look at them. + +Before them was an oblongish room. The walls were made of the same +meaty-looking tissue as the rest of Masky's body, though someone had tried to +disguise that fact by hanging up deep red drapes and Pro Hart pictures. + +A solid-looking mahogany table ran the length of the room, surrounded by +genuine Louis XIVth chairs. Each place at the table was set with a glass of +water, telephone, several reams of paper, some newly sharpened pencils, and in +each chair was slumped a globular virus of some description or another. + +The blob-like AIDS virus that sat at the head of the table wearing a +pin-striped suit (and had evidently been trying a body-corporate takeover) +stopped mid-rant to squint at Fred and Raphael. + +"You're late!", he growled, "We've already started! Hurry up and sit down." + +Fred and Raphael looked around, and found seats. Fred sat next to a +viscious-looking virus that would have made Syn's cheesecake look appetizing. +[That's gotta be one mean virus!!! -LN] + +Raphael was next to a metallic-coloured jelly with faint circuit diagrams +visible under the surface. + +"What are you?", asked Raphael. + +"Actually I'm a computer virus. Fucked if I know what I'm doing here!" + +"As I was saying", resumed the AIDS virus, "as the most feared and deadly virus +in Kinko's body, I demand the rights for a full takeover." + +This proposition was met with a babble of protests from the other +representatives present. + +"That's not fair", yelled a Genital Herpes virus, "I was here first and that +ought to count for something!" + +"I think", said a Syphilis virus, slowly and calmly, "that we ought to just +SHARE his body. I mean, I just want his dick. That's not too much to ask for, +is it? I mean, it's such a small part!" + +"That's all very fine", moaned a Gonorrhea bacteria, "but we ALL want his dick. +Pity no woman ever says that, hey?" + +"That's a point, a very good point", stated a jelly-like representative of +Trichomonas, "it's his penis we're all after. I think we ought to try to break +away from this old tradition, and try something new. Do you think penile +discharge coming out of the tip of Kinko's nose would work?" + +"What about you two?", asked the AIDS virus, looking at Fred and Raphael, "what +do YOU think?" + +"Well, I don't know...", faltered Raphael. + +"We're sort of new to this body", said Fred uncertainly, "and aren't sure if +we're going to move in... We're just sort of... inspecting the premises. I +don't suppose you could give us directions to his penis?" + + --------------- + +Meanwhile, somewhere completely unconnected with the story... + +"Oh John." + +"Oh Marsha." + +"Oh John!" + +"Oh Marsha!" + +"OH JOHN!!!" + +"OH MARSHA!!!" + +[Marsha does Dallas??? -LN] + + --------------- + +"Rather kind of those guys to give us directions wasn't it?" Raphael commented +as he later programmed the course into the navigation console. + +"Yeah, you got it all didn't you, you know what a terrible navigator I am." +Fred responded as he activated the autopilot. + + --------------- + +In the church, Janine screamed "No Limmy, don't do it!" + +Night Stalker grabbed a knife from the beside the nearby twenty-eight tier +wedding cake, and leapt screaming at Eliminator, slashing wildly. + +Eliminator gasped as the bag of animal blood strapped under his shirt was cut +open, turning his chest red. + +Everyone screamed as the grenade fell to the ground.... but nothing happened. + +"It must have been faulty!", said Night Stalker. + +"Oh, that's just typical!", said Craig Bowen in disgust, "The script writers +make such a fuss about what a predicament their characters are in, then CHEAT +their way out of it!" + + --------------- + +As The Avenger reached Masky's groin area.... + +"We'll put down here and walk the rest of the way", decided Fred, "so what's +that bit there?" Fred was looking at a large piece of rotting, inflamed tissue +the Avenger was passing over. + +Raphael punched up a digitised anatomical diagram on the navicomp, and +declared, "That's his prostrate gland." + +"Don't you mean PROSTATE gland?" + +"In Masky's case I think I was right the first time." + +"Hmmm, I dunno about landing here now. That thing doesn't look too strong." + +"Relax Fred! That thing's as stable as my mental condition." + +F/X Prostate gland collapses. + +"Ooops!" + +Fred gave Raphael a look, and piloted the Avenger a little way further, setting +down somewhere inside Masky's penis. Fred and Raphael left the ship, with Fred +wearing a breathing mask as before and lugging a large laser gun out of the +hatch. + +Before them, the tubular passageway got narrower and narrower. + +"My god!", exclaimed Raphael, "even at microscopic size his dick's tiny!" + +"We'll just have to try removing the clot from here", said Fred decisively, as +he lifted the laser to his shoulder and began firing down T.M.'s urethra. The +beams lanced through the red-brown clot vaguely visible in the narrow tunnel +ahead, dissolving it. With that done, Kinko's sexlife-threatening case of +Phlacidphallisitis was gone. + +But what's this? The act of firing a weapon was having a terrible effect on +Captain Fearless! + +"The VC have got us penned in sir! But I'm not going without a fight!" + +Fred started firing in all directions, and Raph hit the "deck". + +"Nam! Nam! Nam!", Fred shrieked, as he saw choppers napalming the jungle around +him. As Fred continued to fire, some of the laser blasts made it all the way +down his urethra and out of his dick, something which almost cost one of the +nurses her tonsils. + +The images of his friends getting picked off by snipers around him melted away, +and Fred found himself staring into the face of Raphael. + +"Have you finished, Fred?" + +"Wha? Oh, yeah...." + +After Raphael and Fred re-entered the Avenger, Raphael asked "Now we've +finished what we came in here for, how do we get out?" + +"Weeeeellll", said Fred as he over-revved the submersible engines, "we could +just sneak out of one of his bodily orifices." + +"Well just be careful which one you pick!" + + --------------- + +Captain Fred leaned over the Avenger's control and flicked the switch which +activated the wind-screen wipers. The wiper blades struggled to scrape a thick +green slime off the viewport. + +"Errr, yuck! What is THAT", exclaimed Raphael, truly grossed out. + +"Umm, nasal mucus, actually", said Fred, as delicately as he could. + +"Amazing. WE'RE getting up KINKO's nose for a change!" + +Fred picked up the microphone and spoke into it. "Yo Lenny, you there?" + +"......... hiss ....... crackle......... Yeah, here Fred. Sorry, I was just in +post-op with the head nurse." + +"Which one's the head nurse?" + +"The one with the dirty knees." [We all know what that's from don't we??? -LN] + +"Um, yeah, well we're ready to come out now. You'll have to dredge some of the +yuck out of his nostrils." + +In the macroscopic world, Lensman picked up a glass slide and shoved it up +Masky's nose. Gagging, Lensman deposited the slide in the thing that looked +almost, but not quite like, a car wash gone drastically wrong. + +One of the technicians put down his copy of Penthouse, and asked "What's the +expansion factor, Lensman?" + +"Ummm, put it on the 'Vagabond's Ego' setting." + +The technician tapped a few buttons, and a laser went on in the thing that +looked almost but not quite like, a car wash gone drastically wrong. The laser +pulsed quickly, its energy jarring loose the earlier shrinking effect. When the +Avenger had returned to normal size, Fred and Raphael stepped out. + + --------------- + +Back in the church, the ceremony was getting back on track. + +"Night Stalker", the priest intoned, "if you would now put the ring on Janine's +finger?" + +"No, we'll be doing that tonight in the honeymoon suite." + +"Oh, yeah... well I now pronounce you man and wife. We've leave you alone now +to work out who's who..." + + --------------- + +In his private, panoramic-view hospital room half-way up the offices of Avenger +Oil, Kinko was sitting up in bed with a foot-long cigar in his mouth, placing a +phone call to his newest replacement secretary. + +"Look, slut, if that wanker calls again tell him I won't sell for anything less +than three thousand per unit. And I don't care if he DOES have the negatives, +the fucking photos don't fucking show fucking anything! Oh, and slut, my +ratings are falling again, get someone to shoot me again." + +T.M. slammed down the phone as the door opened, and Captain Fred and Raphael +walked in. + +"Ah, you two, waddaya want?" + +Ignoring T.M.'s question, Raphael used a foot-flipper to turn over a corpse on +the floor. "Oh, it's Kylie Minogue", he said. + +"Yes", said T.M., "that moronic casting agency should have known better than to +let HER do a guest appearance on MY show! Anyway, what are you here for?" + +"Well", began Raphael hesitantly, "we were just wondering about our fee..." + +"How much?", asked T.M., suspiciously. + +Fred glanced at Raphael, who nodded, and said "We think 2.5 mill apiece is +fair." + +"WHAT!", screamed T.M. + +"Oh my god!", exclaimed Raphael, "How did he sneak that Colt 45 into the +hospital?" [Diplomatic Immunity??? -LN] + +Fred and Raphael slammed the door behind them as the first bullets slammed into +the wood. + +"Never mind!", Fred shouted over the gunfire, "while you were still coming out +of the anesthetic we had you put your signiture to a few blank cheques..." + + The End ++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +We now interupt this file for a brief musical interlude... + + *** NOW AVAILABLE FROM ALL "REALLY RUDE RECORD RETAILERS" *** + +The "T.C.R.I.

One can do many thing to totally confuse +and bugger up a user. + +Start with hitting Control-S. That stops sending stuff. To the user, it +looks as if the board has just frozen up, and think that it has crashed. +Then hang up! + +The smart-ass users who know that will try hitting return a couple of +times and a Control-Q. So they have suspicions that something is wrong... +that the sysop doesn't like them... they Yell. + +There's a couple of things you can do.... + +1. Totally ignor the Yell... and go one with other things. + +2. Sit there and cancel the Yell. + (That's annoying to them, but not much fun because you can't see the + frustration!) + +3. Answer the Yell... tell them to piss off, and put them back to the + board, and go one with other things. + +4. The best... answer the yell, but don't say anything... + It's great fun to see the person trying to get your attention, + and eventually giving up after 5-10 minutes, and then finding out + that the only way out of chat is to hang up... of course, that's + after some serious abuse. What you can do is put all what they say to + you in a text file, and send it to them in a message. + +Files... +-------- +When someone is downloading a file you wait till it has almost finished... +like has sent 99 out of the 101 X-Modem blocks, and cancel the download. +It's best when it is a program rather than a text file because the program +will stuff up. What's more, OPUS remembers the amount sent, and adds it to +the total downloaded. + +Another thing to do is when they go into the file area, drop their privs +so that all they can do is see the files but not download them. + +Messages... +----------- +Something really unethical to do is when a real dork (like Captain Chaos) +leaves you private messages, export them to disk and put them in a file +area so that all your friends can laugh at him too! + +Accounts... +----------- +Good thing to do is change where people come from.

(Boringus Maximus) + + Born: (We suspect not.) August 1969. + + Description: A reasonably tall dark haired creature. + Has many distinguishing features, such as his + square eyeballs to make viewing a monitor easier, + and his well developed fingers that make a 50% + speed increase in typing. + + Habitat: The Vagabond can usually be found (with one exception) + in front of a computer. During the day you will find the + Vagabond "working" in front of a computer, during the + evenings you will most commonly find it at home in front + of a computer. The one exception is Friday evenings. + This is the time of week that a metamorphosis occurs, and + it throws off it's boring casing and leaves the protection + of it's elders, and goes to watch a movie (the same each week). + + Eating Habits: The Vagabond is a scavenger most of the time. + It feeds mostly on chips that is steals off work mates. + Before it attacks, it can be detected by the characteristic + "Chippie Chippie Chippie!" sounds. Also feeds on Mars Bars, + and whatever the mother will make him eat. + + Reproduction: Frequent encounters with Mrs Palmer and her 5 daughters. + As yet there has been no other documented activity, with + one exception to this. The mating ritual of the Vagabond begins + with spending several hours talking in his car, if the subject + falls asleep, things progress. However, it has been known to fail. + (On the one and only occasion!) + + Movement: Without a vehicle to move, the Vagabond tends to be + clumsy. It has been described by a famous biologist as: + "If he was walking through the MCG, and there was a packet of + matches in the middle of the oval, he'd trip over the matches." + + With the aid of a vehicle, the Vagabond is BORING. He + travels extensively in a Datsun Stanza. Now, if that isn't + boring enough, (the car CAN'T go faster than 120 KM/H) + he adheres strictly to the speed limits, with statements + about how he can accelerate and remain at a constant speed + (providing quadronomial vector equations to prove his point) + and turns a corner at 5 KM/H to demonstrate. + + Fantasies: It is amazing, but the Vagabond does have fantasies. + A well known one is that he is locked in a computer shop + over night. Others such as having people laugh at one of his + jokes may never be realised, but he is trying... + + Phobias: The Vagabond is well known for it's fear of excitement. It has + been traced back to his early childhood, where exciting events + occurred, and his subconscious has never come to terms with + those events. Thus, a good time to the Vagabond consists of + watching test patterns on channel 2, reading a movie on SBS, + or even better checking that his 101 key keyboard still has + it's 101 keys! + + Dress: The Vagabond is renowned for his poor taste in clothes. His + selections (from the Brotherhood bins) is always at least + one size too large, and his shirts are always untucked. + + Achievements: The Vagabond has achieved a new dimension in boringness. + He has made a brick wall commit suicide when he tried to + convince it to vote Liberal in the last elections. (The wall + was a Liberal supporter anyway, until Vagabond talked to it.) + + His proudest achievement is counting 93,000 sheep one + night, until sheep fell asleep. Ge then wrote a long boring + story about it. + + History: The Vagabond became known in late 1986. With his VIC-20 + and 300 baud modem he managed to bore a lot of people without + actually being there to bore them. + + With his new computer, the IBM compatible, new 1200 baud + modem, and own phone line, he has been able to bore a lot + more people quicker. + + It wasn't until 1988 that he got a job and started working + in the ideal environment; the PC division of a large national + company. He can now bore an enormous amount of people, quickly + and efficiently and gets paid for it! + + Closing Comments: If you are someone who showers more than once per + week, goes out at least as often as you shower, and don't + get past counting 10 sheep before you go to bed at night, or + get pubic hair (not your own) caught between your teeth every + now and then, then this is one person you should avoid. + You'll find him boring! + + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + This Edition's Awards + --------------------- + + Bastard of the month........................

We recomend that you begin your training + at least one month before starting the course. + + If you do not have the dedication to training your success as + a kamikaze driver will of course be effected. + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + You will need: + -------------- + + Determination. + A sense of destiny. + A white scarf. + A pair of goggles. (Optional) + A bicycle. + A very expensive (FAST) car. (For advanced kamikazes) + + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + --------------------------- + Initial Training: Spiritual + --------------------------- + + It is very important that you are well prepared spiritually + before attempting to begin the rigorous physical training + required to become a kamikaze. + + With every day you will become a more confident man of destiny. + Your jaw will take on a different shape, your eyes will get + smaller and take on a glint of iron determination, and as you + progress through this course you will notice how women's + heads will turn as you walk past, dogs will run in fear, + and your mother will stop making you eat your vegetables. + + Exercise 1: You will need to take control of your emotions. + This is easily acheived by sitting in front of + the television, and taking on a serious facial + expression, and then keeping that expression + for as long as you can. Keep your eyes focussed on + a point slightly above and several metres behind + the television you are watching. + + The best programs are comedies. YOU MUST NOT LAUGH! + Kamikazes have a serious job to do, and your image + as a kamikaze will be damaged if you are seen smiling + must less laughing! + + Second best is soap operas. The more boring the better. + These will give you the oportunity to pracice your + serious job to do look while everyone else is looking + bored. Having other people around may be distracting + at first, as bored people will become curious as to + what your serious job to do look is all about, but + ignoring them will not only get rid of them, it will + be an achievement in holding your facial expression. + + Exercise 2: Praying. + Clasp your hands together, take on your serious job + to do look, and begin mumbling. Don't actually say + anything, and keep your face as motionless as posible. + If you prefer, keep your eyes open, but don't focus + on anything. + + If you keep your eyes closed, it is much more + impressive if you bow and raise the volume of your + mumbles proportional to the angle of your bow. + Ensure that when you bow you do not fall + over! However, should you fall over, take advantage + of it, and assume the lotus position, and continue + your prayers. + + Remember Kamikazes don't make mistakes. If something + goes wrong increase the determination in your facial + expression, and take advantage of the situation by + making people think that you meant it. + + + You should now look and act the part of the Kamikaze. It is + most important that you do not lose these skills, so make sure + that you pray at least once per day. + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Initial Training: Physical + -------------------------- + + + You should spend approximately an hour a day training. + + For physical training, there are some simple exercises you + can practice while watching TV, walking to school, while + having dinner. Just about any time of the day opportunities + will present themselves. + + 1. Walls are one of the most vital resources available to + you at this stage. Partly because, as a rule, walls are + quite hard, and secondly because there are so many of them. + + Exercise 1: Walk up to the wall. + Look straight at it. + Punch it as hard a you can. + Try not to yell. This is very important as it + teaches you self disipline, needed later. + + Exercise 2: Walk up to the wall. + Stand approximately 1 metre back from it. + (This step will depend upon how tall you are.) + Close your eyes. (Optional) + Lean foreward. + If you follow the steps involved here, you should + find yourself lying on the ground with a headache. + If you ache anywhere else, it means that something + has gone wrong. Try adjusting the distance between + yourself and the wall. + + If you have dificulty in achieving these simple exercises, don't + despare. You must simply re-condition yourself to your destiny. + Start with simple exercises like getting a close friend or family + member to pull away a chair just before you sit on it. This will + build your confidence. Another good confidence builder is to try + and juggle knives. Start with one, then work you way up. If you + can handle three, try sharpening them. For extra confidence, try + whenever you drop a knife, having a drink of saki. + + + Exercise 3: This is an exercise in showing off your skills as a + future Kamikaze. Go into a large office building, + and go into the lifts. Stand in front of the doors, + and using the skills you used from exercise 2 you + will be able to judge the distance you need to stand + away from the door. + Now, just as the doors open, lean foreward. This will + look very impressive to the people waiting to get into + the lift. It is also very important that you don't + groan, or otherwise make any noice, otherwise people + will think that you're alive still, and feel obligated + to help you. You should have learned this skill from + exercise 1. + From this exercise you will improve your timing skills + needed for future exercises. + + These are just basic training exercises. Use your imagination. + Remember, a Kamikaze wont get very far in his field unless he + has the resourcefulness to cope with setbacks. + + + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + + ----------------- + Advanced Training + ----------------- + + Having cultivated your skills, both spiritually, and physically, + you are now ready to proceed with the advanced training. + For this you will need your white scarf, goggles and a bicycle. + + Once on your bicycle, head for a busy street intersection. + Ensure that the street is not too busy. For best results, the + scarf should be long enough that it will flap in the wind. + + Wait at the selected corner for an appropriate vehicle. + A public bus is ideal, but if there aren't many about, a truck + is also acceptable. + + While waiting at the corner, you may want to do some praying, and + deep breathing exercises will be useful later. + + When the chosen vehicle is in sight, begin peddling. You should + remember to allow time to get the the place of contact the same + time as the bus. So begin peddling BEFORE the bus gets there. + + | ___ | + | | B | | Start peddling when bus + | | U | | is at this position. + _______________| | S | |________________ + || |___| + || + || + ___ ___ _____|| _________ ___ + || o + Point of contact \/ || /|~~ + /\<-<-|| 0-/-0 + _______________ ||______________ + | | + | | + | | + + + If you remembered your deep breathing exercises, you will now + be able to not only attrack the attention of the people in the + bus and pathways, but also impress them with your your loud + scream of "Banzai!". + + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + ---------- + Graduation + ---------- + + Once you have been discharged from hospital, you will now be + ready for the final stage of your course in being a Kamikaze driver. + + This is the most important stage in your career, and the one + that you only get one chance at. + + How you do it is up to you, but remember some of the finer points + in graduation. + + 1. Make sure you get plenty of sleep the day before your mission. + By not having enough sleep you are prone to make mistakes, which + could cause your mission to fail. + + 2. Flame looks good. So if you don't have time to douse your car's + exterior with petrol just before your final plunge, I suggest + that you get a long (approximately 5 metres) piece of red + material, and cut V shaped notches into the end. Then just + before impact hang it out the window. The fluttering motion + will look slightly more impressive than nothing at all. + + 3. A microphone attached to a P.A. system is another nice touch. + As people wont be able to hear your "Banzai!" over the roar + of the engine, the P.A. system will at least be an improvement. + Be careful to resist the temptation of muttering last words + like "Take this you ass-hole!". A simple "Banzai!" is much + more appropriate. + + 4. It is always better to have a reason for your mission. + Wait until someone has insulted you, been rude to you, + or didn't look with enough respect towards you when you + were practicing one of your serious job to do looks. + Then make it a point of telling them that they have + insulted your honour and they will reap the consequences + of their actions. + + The less trivial the matter the better. + + + ---------------------------------------------------------------------- + + ------------- + Our H E R O + ------------- + + One of our most promicing, yet unsuccessful students is + Raster Blaster. So far his failed missions have included + a high speed collision with the back of a truck that had + insulted his honour by backfiring. Result: Written off + car, and failed mission. + + Next was his high speed collision with a fence. + We believe that it was not the fence, but the people who + owned it that had insulted his honour. Result: Written off + Celica, failed mission. (See what I mean about making + mistakes when you don't get enough sleep?) + + Next: His attempt with his brand new Integra. So far + no-one has been game enough to insult his honour. + + Other people to watch for are Simply Sparks. He has been + unable to master riding a bicycle, so has taken training + missions in his car. At the rate he is going he wont have + a car in which to complete his final mission. One point to + note here for you younger Kamikazes; car's work better when + the wheels are on the ground, not the roof. There are + certain aspects of training that have been ommited because + we thought common sence would cover such topics. + + Masked Avanger. This is our most successful bicycle rider + yet. At the rate he is going at he wont need a car. + Truly a Kamikaze bike rider for all of us to be proud of! + + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + A note from the members of Evil Angels: + + Good luck, and remember, YOURMUTHASUKSCOKSINHELLLLLLL! + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + This Edition's Awards + --------------------- + + Bastard of the month........................

This means that love is in the + air for you. But it could also mean that you're going + to be invited to a bit party and break out in zits + the night before. + + Tuarus: This month I couldn't find venus, which means that + you will experience a stable relationship which will + have disasterous results. Be careful not to drive + a Toyota. They have a tendancy to make you jump + uncontrollably! + + Gemini: Your planet is murcury. It seems to be higher in the + thermometre than usual which indicates your love life + will flourish this month. Just remember to wash you + hand afterwards. + + Cancer: With mars so much in the news with the Ruskies and all, + it indicates that you should avoid Austpac as much as + posible and concentrate on that playboy. Your love life + isn't going to improve this month either, but with a + personality like yours, I'd doubt it ever will. + + Leo: Being ruled by the sun, and this being summer, it symbolises + that it's a good time for some huba-ta-huba-ta. If you're + not getting enough, get a little on the side. If you're not + getting any, it's high time to start! + + Virgo: There's an anomoly somewhere either in the milky way + or close by it. This means you should cut down on your + cholesterol, and watch your weigh this month. Also, you + could be involved in a traffic jam if you drive in peak + hour traffic. Don't despair, you will soon crash your car + again, and be back to using public transport and avoiding + traffic jams. + + Libra: Trouble is brewing on the horizon. You should start saving + now for your next phone bill. There is also signs of travel, + so if you don't think you can afford your bills, book a flight + to Cuba now and avoid the confrontations. + + Scorpio:Well, you're a little prick, so the best thing to do is + end it all now while the time is right. + + Sagittarius: Your life seems to be going fine so far, and the stars + indicate that you will have someone over for dinner + in two weeks or so. As you're basically a walking disaster, + you'll be better off eating out. + + Capricorn: Now is a good time to change your underwear. Be careful + not to shower this month as there are bad omens with + whats-his-name the water carrier. On the whole, your + love life will continue to be disasterous. Socially, you + don't have a chance this month either, so stay home. + + Aquarius: You're bound for conflict this month, but don't worry, + all will end in your favor. Relationships will be strained + this month, and your sex life will take a dive. Remember, + there are drugs you can take to cure impotence, but science + can't cure a small dick. + + Pisces: You should pay more attention towards your business life + this month. There seems to be an eclipse of the moon that + orbits that cute little red whatsit near your planet + indicating you shouldn't forget the Aeroguard fot the next + BBQ like you did last time, or your girlfriend isn't as sweet + and innocent as you first thought, and you should consider + a trip to the Clinic. + + ---------------------------------------- + + + My predictions for this month: + + Having star gazed for minutes on end, there seems to be some + unrest in that fuzzy bit of the sky. This means nothing, except + that bit of the sky wasn't fuzzy last time I looked, so I + probably need glasses. + + Being summer, the sun is out a lot of the time. So all you Leo's + out there go have a good time, and the rest of you will suffer. + + If you're looking for a lover, avoid Virgo people. They're what + us prophetic people refer to as BAD OMENS. Leo's are in season this + month, but watch out for jelous Aquarius boyfriends. + + I also saw a satelite. This means that it's a good time to buy + that expensive thing you wanted, and give it to someone who wont + use it as a Christmas present. + + Till next time huneys....

It was a bright + moonlit night, and it was clearly seen that an object, + not entirely unlike a cheesecake, burst through one of the + retaining walls. + + On further investigation, and the support of several Queensland + backup squads, many months of intense undercover work, + and the threat of a royal commission if the superintendent + was not personally involved in the operation, it was finally + made public and closed down. + + The date was the 1st of October, 1987. + + Since then, Syn has abandoned her boudoir, but the discovery + of this map has helped us to piece together what a night in + this extraordinary pleasure palace must have been like. + + ---------------------------------------------------------------------- + + | | + | | +------+---_ +----+ + | | | ] | | + Retaining | | | 11 | | | | + Wall | | | | ] | 13 | + ----> | | +---+------+ | | | + | | | 10 ] +----+- --+ + | | | | | | + | +-+- -+- ----+ ] | 12 | + | | | | | | | + | | 6 | 6 | +--+ +-------+ + Repair |_| | | | + Area---> ___ /\ +----+ | + | +----/ \----+ | | + | | 8 | 7 | + ------------+ +----\ /----+ | | + | | \/ | | | + Pier | | | +- --+ | + | | 6 | 6 | +--+ + ------------+ | | | 14| + | +- ----+-- --+ +- -+- +----+ + | | | | 15 | + | | | | | + | +-------+-- -+---+ +---+---+ + Ocean | | . | _ | | + | | 9 . | 5 / \ | + | | . | \_/ ++ + | | | | | + | +-------+----+---+ +---+- --+ + | | | | | _________ + | | | | +-----+ + | | +-+- --+ 1 3 + | | | +-----+_________ + | | +--+ | | + | | | 4 +----+ +-+ + | | | | | | + | | | +-+ | | + | | | | | | + | | +-------+ +-+ +---+ + | | | 2 | + | | | | + | | +-------+ + | | + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + ========== + KEY TO MAP + ========== + + 1. SYN'S AUDIENCE CHAMBER. + It was here that SYN would sit (on a magnificent gold + throne) and question those who wished to enter her boudoir. + Apparently, she would ask them a riddle -The Riddle Of SYN- + and they would have to try to guess the answer. + If correct, they would be allowed to enter through + the north door. If they were wrong, the harem guards + would grab the poor individual and take them through the + south door to the torture room where they would be chained + to the wall and savagely tortured for 2 hours before being + thrown out. Some people, such as Dianne Nichols (TZ's + resident nymphomaniac) usually wanted to get it wrong. + + 2. TORTURE ROOM. + All sorts of fiendish torture equipment was found here. + Whips, chains, handcuffs, feathers, recordings of Neighbors, + tapes of Mark Jackson, nude photos of Taxi Cab etc... + + 3. ENTRANCE TUNNEL. + Shortly after SYN's boudoir was uncovered, this tunnel + collapsed mysteriously. Some suspect it was dynamited by + SYN herself. No-one is sure where it leads. To a nearby + hidden entrance perhaps, or all the way to Surrey Hills? + + 4. SYN'S INNER SANCTUM. + This was SYN's private room. Even people who successfully + gained admission to the boudoir were forbidden to enter + here without SYN's permission. + + 5. SQUARE OF THE PHALLIC FOUNTAIN. + This area has a high, curving ceiling and a grassed floor. + Lots of artificial light complete the illusion of being + outside and above ground. The most striking thing about + the square is the odd-shaped fountain, built to please one + of SYN's sudden whims. + To the south of the square, someone has been planting an + aphrodisiac garden. + Also, a fully-grown stag deer is allowed to roam in the + garden. It was kept, perhaps, for the velvet on its antlers + or maybe it has a more bizarre purpose... + + 6. BEDROOM. + These were constructed for the use of SYN's guests. Each + boasts a king-sized, vibrating water bed fitted with + waterproof sheets and leather cushions. In the case of an + emergency, whips and chains would drop from the roof above. + + 7. MURAL. + The east wall of this hallway is covered by a floor to + ceiling painting of SYN exposing the cutest parts of her + anatomy, of course very tastefully portrayed. + + 8. PERVING ROOM. + From this small chamber, an individual could spy on the + goings on in any of the bedrooms through the four two-way + mirrors. Cameras and sound recording devices were ready for + use in the store room to the east. + + [Note: Evil Angels now also has a thriving pornographic + retailing outlet. And for those interested, nine inches + is not the same in real life as it is on a ruler. + IS IT MARTY?] + + 9. SHOWER/SPA. + To the east is the shower area. (Communal, of course) + To the west is the spa bath. The natural fauna of this + area consists of a healthy tadpole population. + + 10. ALCOVES. + In each of the alcoves along the east wall stands a + life-sized statue of SYN's "best times". For those who want + more pleasure from the statues than the appreciation of + art, a rubber doll of the same person lies in a compartment + under each statue. + + 11. PERVERTED SHOWER. + For some reason, the soap holders are set only a foot above + the floor. After speculating the reason for this, we could + only assume SYN at one stage has a gnome fetish. + + 12. LOUNGE. + There are two VCRs here, as well as (at the last count) + 386 "home videos". + + 13. KITCHEN. + With the cupboards stacked with plentiful supplies of + cheesecake ingredients, we feel that the discovery of + her boudoir was a timely one. Who knows what damage could + have been done should she have had a cooking spree and + bounced a couple down Burke St. in the Christmas shopping + crowds. + [We also suspect that SYN was involved in the Hoddle St + incident. Unpublished police ballistic reports state that + fragments of an unidentified substance were scattered + randomly throughout the scene. The substances found + matched those found in this kitchen. She may have used one + in self defense. Such a horrific weapon!] + + 14. SQUEEZY HALL. + This hallway was deliberately made so small that two people + entering from different ways would be forced into close + bodily contact. With no lighting here, someone groping for + a doorknob could encounter just about anything. + + 15. LIBRARY. + This room is decorated with wood panels in the style of the + Victorian era. The shelves contain every piece of erotic + literature from the Karma Sutra to Royna's autobiography. + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + ========== + The Riddle + ========== + + One of the conditions of entry into Syn's Boudoir was that + you had to give your solemn word of honour (if such a thing + exists) not to tell anyone of the riddle or it's solution. + + However, one person(?), so lacking in honour, (one who we at Evil + Angels admire greatly) did so when he wrote it publicly in + the jokes area on the Twilite Zone. + + This person was The Alien. + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + From: The Alien Msg #14, 03-Oct-87 12:29pm + To: All + Subject: Dirty, Perverted, Disgusting Joke.... + + + QUESTION: Whats the difference between SYN and a bowling + ball. + + + ANSWER: You can only get 3 fingers into a bowling ball..... + + + + + ((DEPARTS ROOM WITH BAR OF SOAP IN MOUTH)) + + ---***>>F A N G<<***--- + "Whats this about Wolfie?" + + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Seeing that the boudoir had already been discovered by this + time, Syn was not all that angry... + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + From: Syn ...

We pride ourselves on our + professional attitude to our work, and thus bring you what we can. + Note: We settled out of court for the physical damages that + were inflicted upon us, for rights to publish these extracts.] + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + ________----------_________ _________------------_________ + | 12-Nov-1987 -_ | 23-Nov-1987 | + | Dear Diary, _ | Dear Diary, | + | How can I start to say -_ | Remember how I was saying | + |this?

Yeth, it'th me again, your favorite + forecarthter of forthcomming functionth. Thith month ith + really topthy turby with the thtarth being in the thky + and all buthing around. But letth thee what they hold + for you... + + + Aries: Looking through my telescope this month + we see that there's lots of little falling + stars. This means that you should consider + taking out a tatts ticket this week, with your + lucky numbers seventeen and twenty three. + + Taurus: You have the misfortune this month of spinning + one too many fibs. Judging by the way the blur + in your wats-it it getting bigger, you should + have told the truth in the first place, because + she wont believe you this time! Carrying a condom + is always a good idea. + + Gemini: Gemini's are really hot! I predict that this + month you may consider having a oil change, but + astronomically speaking it could be financially + wiser to wait for the new year. + + Cancer: Cut it out! That right, that's my prediction + for you this month. Stop what you're doing and + head for Rio or somewhere that you could afford, + even if it is St Kilda. This is the time to party, + so forget work. If you are heading for St Kilda + ensure that your sawnoff is loaded. The beach there + has lots of shell on the beach to be collected, but + don't put them to your ear, they may go off. + + Leo: This is a good month in which to travel. Even + though you're the type to take a parachute on a + cruise, and forget it when you go sky-diving, take + a chance. Maybe I am wrong, and you wont get hijacked + and shot. Then again, it wouldn't be a great loss. + + Virgo: The stars are certainly grim for you this month. + It looks like when the nice people said at the clinic + "see you later", they were right... There's definitely + problems in the sexual area for you. But it looks + as if the problem will clear up in a couple of months. + Then again with your abilities, no-one will notice the + difference. + + Libra: After all the bad things for the other sign so far, + yours seems to be the brightest, with possibilities of + a romantic encounter of the third kind not far off. + Don't get all excited, especially if you're into + Destroying Disks. But all in all, a good month coming + up for you. + + Scorpio: Oh no. I really couldn't be such a bearer of bad + news. But what the hell, I never did like Scorpios + much. Your heading for financial ruin, with no hope + of love, you're going to be destitute and friendless. + Maybe if you killed yourself you could get out of it + lightly, but with such a bad set of stars, you'd + probably fuck it up as well. + + Sagittarius: Let's see... hmmmm, not much to report for you + this month. Your star thingies are still there, but + they're sort of there and not doing much. There is + a fly in the room, so I could say that you should + avoid barbecues this Christmas. Parties are OK though. + + Capricorn: What a wonderfully set of bad omens! Shit, hang on, + that was Scorpio again... Hmmm, there's definitely + good social contacts to be made. And it looks like + an old friend is going to make a long distance phone + call to you late one night and you're going to get + really pissed off - don't, she's desperate for a root, + that is unless you're female (and not a lesbian) in + which case get as pissed off as you want. + + Aquarius: Damn, this is getting bad again, more good luck for + you coming up. There's something to do with flowers, + I don't know what, but if a really cute flowergirl + asks you if you have the time, this may be the time + to try out the line "if you have the place." + + Pieces: Oh good. It looks from the stars that you've just + had a particularly bad time, so have I so don't complain! + Romantically there's little in store for you, so you'll + just have to hang on a little while longer (9 inches?). + On the financial side of things, don't gamble, you'll + lose, but if you keep a straight head you wont get into + any more trouble. + + + ---------------------------------------- + + My predictionth for thith month: + + Well, thince I've just had a particularly bad love + affair, the bitch detwayed me, I really cant thee + why I thould tell you that thereth thomething good + going to happen. + + I hope you all have a totally horwible Chrithmath, + and a particularly bad New Year'th Hang Over. + + Till next time huneeth....

What I + discovered will shock you. He is not the kind, fat old man with + the white beard that you have been led to believe, but, I suspect, + a cover for an international organized crime syndicate. + + Upon landing at the North Pole I headed straight for Santa's + workshop. The workshop appears from the outside to be a quaint + olde worlde home but after I made my way inside I discovered + something different. + + The workshop is divided into three distinctly separate partitions. + The first is the workshop which is open to the public for a nominal + entrance fee, and has guided tours every hour on the hour. This is + where the elves happily go about their business of making toys for + the world's good little boys and girls. + + Not accessible to the public is the real workshop. This is where + several hundred elves have been housed for many months of forced + labor. I must admit that I was deeply moved to see elves, in worse + physical appearance than a man after a night with Royna, being + whipped to the point of unconsciousness, and being revived so + they could work another hour. It brought tears to my eyes as the + memories of SYN flooded back... + + The third partition was the most disgusting sight I have ever seen. + A large spa in the middle of a large tropical garden. Served by + naked women with the food and drink he had collected last Christmas + and kept in cold storage since, was Santa, surrounded by a mass orgy. + + I thought it best if I waited here, and made myself inconspicuous by + joining in the orgy. So I cautiously removed my clothes, press badge, + camera, drank my bottle of Southern Comfort, put a couple of condoms + on (Kiddies, remember that it's better to be safe!) and headed for + the first pair of open legs. + + To my great surprise I recognised those knees, and wondered what Fran + was doing here. I thought I had better move on, but the orgy was + already breaking up; Santa was preparing for his Christmas delivery. + + With a mind as brilliant as mine, I sometimes wonder if the reason + I failed pre-school wasn't because of jealousy on the part of the + teacher. I saw this as my way out of here. So I quickly gift wrapped + myself and headed for Santa's Sack. + + What I discovered in the sack is not something I will publicise, but + in Santa's sack, apart from the expected dolls, toy cars, machine + guns and armageddon bombs for the kids, there was also several + large packages of amphetamines, hallucinogenic pills, and non-tobacco + type cigarettes. + + What I then discovered was not pure bliss as you may have expected, + but if you can imagine what it is like to be dropped down a chimney, + have an obese, over sexed, smelly old pervert fall on top of you, + you'll be able to sympathise with me (and you're also a fucking + deviant tart! Hi Blue Fox!). + + Once I returned to the office, I requested a response from Santa's + public relations officers, and press agents. Fran convinced me that + Santa is innocent of all accusations printed here, and provided + documented proof (an invite to the next orgy). + + I am still not totally convinced that Santa is totally innocent, + after seeing the way he laughs when little girls sit on his lap in + shopping centers world wide, I can't help but doubt the reports of + his pedophile activities. + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + =============================== + The Twelve Days of Christmas. + =============================== + + On the first day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + An Inmodem for my AT. + + On the second day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + 2 meg of RAM + and an Inmodem for my AT. + + On the Third day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + 3 NUI's, + 2 Meg of RAM + and an Inmodem for my AT. + + On the Fourth day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + 4 Credit Cards, + 3 NUI's, + 2 Meg of Ram + and an Inmodem for my AT. + + On the Fifth day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + 5 Phone lines... + 4 Credit Cards, + 3 NUI's, + 2 Meg of Ram + and an Inmodem for my AT. + + On the Sixth day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + 6 floppy disks, + 5 phone lines... + 4 Credit cards, + 3 NUI's, + 2 Meg of RAM, + and an Inmodem for my AT. + + On the Seventh day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + 7 printers printing, + 6 floppy disks, + 5 phone lines... + 4 Credit Cards, + 3 NUI's, + 2 Meg of RAM, + and an Inmodem for my AT. + + On the Eighth day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + 8 A2000's, + 7 printers printing, + 6 floppy disks, + 5 phone lines... + 4 Credit Cards, + 3 NUI's, + 2 Meg of RAM, + and an Inmodem for my AT. + + On the Ninth day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + 9 Trailblazers, + 8 A2000's, + 7 printers printing, + 6 floppy disks, + 5 phone lines... + 4 Credit Cards, + 3 NUI's, + 2 Meg of RAM, + and an Inmodem for my AT. + + On the Tenth Day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + 10 Calling Cards, + 9 TrailBlazers, + 8 A2000's, + 7 printers printing, + 6 floppy disks, + 5 phone lines... + 4 Credit Cards, + 3 NUI's, + 2 Meg of RAM, + and an Inmodem for my AT. + + On the Eleventh Day of Christmas my Daddy gave to me + 11 Digitizers, + 10 Calling Cards, + 9 Trailblazers, + 8 A 2000's, + 7 printers printing, + 6 floppy disks, + 5 phone lines... + 4 Credit Cards, + 3 NUI's, + 2 Meg of RAM, + and an Inmodem for my AT. + + On the Twelfth day of Christmas a Policeman gave to me + 12 years Hard Labour. + The cunt! + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + ====================================== + The Evil Angels True Christmas Story + ====================================== + By Ford Prefect + + COMPLETE CAST LIST - ACTORS + ------------------ ----------------- + NARRATOR - Ford Prefect + MARY - SYN ... + CHARIOT CAB - Gordie + GOD - Craig Bowen + ARCH EVIL ANGEL - Masked Avenger + CATHOLIC - Fearless Fred + JOSEPH - Ivan Trotsky + EVIL ANGEL - Eliminator + INN KEEPER - The Lensman + WIFE - Fran + SHEPHERD1 - Captain Chaos + SHEPHERD2 - Top Gun + SHEPHERD3 - 5th Dimension + SHEPHERD4 - Vagabond + GASPAR - Ice Man + BALTHAZAR - Infiltrator + MELCHIOR - Brett McMillian + JESUS - Disk Destroyer + + + NARRATOR Welcome to the story of the Birth of Christ, the + TRUE story. The story most of you have heard is + probably only the editted, "public release" version. + + One of the strange things about this story is that + by a bizzarely improbable co-incidence, many of its + characters are distant (but strikingly similar sometimes) + ancestors of present-day BBS users. At great expense + we have managed to collect together most of the + direct decendents of the original people involved. + God, however, was unavailable, so Craig Bowen + accepted our offer to play the part. + + The story begins in an inn room somewhere on the + outskirts of Nazareth. Inside the room is a virgin + by the name of Mary, who is married to a man named + Joseph, and coming up the stairs outside is the foul + Chariot Cab. + + F/X KNOCK ON DOOR + + MARY Who is it? + + CHARIOT Mike. + + MARY Mike who? + + CHARIOT Mike Huntsucker. + + MARY What!? + + CHARIOT Room service. + + MARY Okay, I'll unlock the door. + + F/X KEY IN LOCK, DOOR OPENING + + MARY (SEES CHARIOT) Uggghhhh!

It wasn't + Goddie who raped her, it was Gordie. + + EVIL Allow me to explain. God was just using Chariot's + ANGEL body to make your virgin wife pregnant.

Killer Koalas. + ================================= + By Lightening Bolt + + Introduction. + ------------- + + Due to the inhibitive costs and the general community's negative + opinion towards conventional weapons, there has developed a new + trend in the terrorist, religious fanatics, minority group and + now police and military arms markets. + + Until now, weapons have relied heavily on either high technology, + which is expensive, or the spontaneous reactions of chemicals to + cause damage which is, although effective, clumsy, not totally + reliable and often traceable. + + There is now a pollution free, untraceable, reliable, cheap and + effective method of inducing havoc. The Koala, among other + animals, is viewed as the harmless, cuddly animal that munches on + gum leaves all day long. That is until now. + + The breeding and training of such deadly animals is becoming one + of the world's most lucrative businesses. The major advantages to + entrepreneurs is the low capital investment, high profit margins + and the vast potential market. + + When trained, these animals are not just animals, they're BEASTS! + + + Before you begin. + ----------------- + + Before you begin, you should do some research into your + clientele. It is good business to have your stock ordered before + they are actually ready to be delivered, it is also much safer. + + It is also wise to specialise in one market. Supplying both the + terrorist and anti-terrorist markets could lead to embarrassing + confrontations and possible defamatory accusations. + + + What You Will Need. + ------------------- + + 1. A plentiful supply of food. + 2. A plentiful supply of Fosters Lager. + 3. Military Grade Fencing. + 4. A Shot Gun (Self preservation purposes only). + 5. Good breeding stock. + 6. GUTS! + + + + Breeding/Training Camp. + ----------------------- + + <--------------- 100 Metres -----------------> + + _________________________________________________________ + |4 | |4 | + |__| ............................................. |__| + | ..1.......................................... | + | ............................................. | + | ............................................. | + | ............................................. | + | ............................................. | + | | + | | + | ________ | + | 3 |2 | | + | | | | + |__ |________| __| + |4 | |4 | + |__|___________________________________________________|__| + + + + Area 1: + ------- + One of the more important factors in the training of the Koala is + the habitat. The average backyard usually isn't big enough, nor + is there usually a sufficient food supply. This is one of the + reasons that this is a professional industry, and not really + suitable for the home hobbyist. + + You should allow at least a ten metre square plot of land for + each Koala you intend to train. It must be heavily planted with + gum trees, and it is vital that the perimeter be fenced off, + preferably with 3 metre concrete barricades, but industrial + strength cyclone fencing is sufficient to begin with, but + seriously consider military standard electric fensing. + + That area will be the Koala's off duty and relaxation area where + they can eat, sleep and do whatever else Koalas do after a hard + day's training. I cannot stress enough how important it is that + this area be as comfortable as possible for the Koalas, as a + psychologically balanced Koala is far more efficient in combat. + + A plentiful supply of Fosters Lager should be placed in + convenient branches throughout this area. Victoria Bitter is also + acceptable. Under no circumstances should imported beers be used, + especially Kiwi Lager! Death or even worse, phycological damage, + may result. + + + Area 2: + ------- + The Koala breeding area. This area MUST be securely barricaded + from the rest of the compound. It would be disastrous if one of + your less desirable male Koalas ruined your breeding program. + + + Area 3: + ------- + This is the training area. It should contain various articles of + equipment with which the Koalas can improve their skills for the + environment in which they will ultimately be unleashed. + + The usual rope bridges, fences, obstacle course items are a good + place to start. If you use your imagination you'll probably find + many of those articles you've had stuck in your garage for years + that you thought you'd use one day, will actually be able to + utilized here. I don't recommend you use vaulting horses, but if + you do, watch out for unusual enthusiasm on the Koalas' behalf, + and do regular head counts. + + This area should also be used for getting your Koala's accustomed + to being shot at, bombed etc. A good exercise for this is to put + a grenade into a stuffed baby Koala, giving it to a dingo, and + unleashing your Koala's on the dingo. The point of the grenade is + twofold. One, the Koalas become accustomed to explosions. Two, it + is a humane way of destroying the dingo should it somehow survive + the Koala attack. + + + Area 4: + ------- + Guard towers. As a precautionary measure to give advanced warning + of impending legal matters, and more importantly to keep a + watchful eye on the compound. It could lead to difficult + questions being asked of your activities if several blood hungry + Koala's escaped and began slaughtering the neighbours. + + + Breeding. + --------- + The most important aspect of this business is a well planned + breeding program. The best stock to use is the Tasmanian Koala. + Recognised worldwide for their superior qualities, especially + their swimming abilities and heavy vehicle dodging abilities. + + Once a suitable breeding pair is found, you should begin your + breeding program as soon as possible. It will take at least three + generations of carefully monitored breeding until you have a born + and bred Killer Koala. + + With that in mind, you may be interested in trying cross breeds, + depending on your target market of course. For amphibian attacks, + you could try crossing a Koala with a Platypus. Consider the + abilities of this creature; the Combat Koalapus. + + + Other Things To Try. + -------------------- + + Instead of breeding Koalas, there are many other animals that can + be bred and trained for equally devastating results. Sometimes + Koalas just aren't suitable for the climate, the terrain or other + factors degrading their performance. Here are some other animals + you may consider experimenting with: + + + Location Animal Comments + -------------- ------------ -------------------------------- + Rainforests Sloths Only with an ample amphetamine + supply.Has the advantage of + surprise. + + Oceans Self Detonating Hunt in schools.

Perfect for the home + enthusiast, or someone without sufficient capital to invest in a + large scale operation. All you require is inventiveness and a bit + of ingenuity. + + Once you have the domestic market in your grip it is time to + expand. The religious fanatics, minority groups, terrorists and + mafia/triads are just waiting to be introduced to the marvels of + modern creatures of destruction. + + Why stop there? Why not become an international arms + supplier. There are a multitude of emerging nations without + sufficient funds to employ full scale armies to conquer their + enemies. An inexpensive alternative is their only option, and you + can provide that alternative. With the correct contacts [Also + read as Bribes - Ed] you may even be able to attain a Federal + Government Export Assistance Grant. + + Think of it. A thousand Attack Armadillos, supported by 500 + Kamikaze Kangaroos attacking some unsuspecting troops armed only + with grenades, machine guns, rocket launchers.

Once the door is down, they set loose one of your + Atheist Seeking Aardvarks, and they're 90% of the way to another + successful conversion. + + The School Market: The fat kid that is always getting picked on + one day just can't take it any longer. He saves up his lunch + money, and buys one of your Homework Hungry House Mouse. He goes + to school as usual, but the first kid that calls him "fatty" + today will have to think of a better excuse than Joe's mouse ate + all my homework. + + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + ========== + Petcare. + ========== + By SYN ... + + Choosing a Pet. + --------------- + + It is very important when choosing a pet to take into + consideration all aspects of keeping that pet happy and healthy. + You must select the pet that is right for you! [Is that why + SYN ... has a dog? - ED] + + FISH. + ----- + These must be amoung the easiest of pets to keep. Once an + aquarium has been set up they are both cheap and quick to look + after. [I look at my fish tank after sex, what about you + SYN ...? -Ed] + + If you find a few fish lying on the bottom with slightly twisted + backs, then it is an indication that the water is polluted or that + you forgot to feed the fish for the past two months. [God! My + fish karked it after only two weeks without food - Ed.] + + When you find that all the plants have died and that you can no + longer see through the glass then it is time to clean the tank. + It is an idea to remember to remove the fish from the tank + before draining out the water. [So that's what I did wrong! -Ed.] + + Oh, above all else, don't forget; don't eat the green ones, they + aren't ripe yet! [Witty isn't she? -Ed.] + + + BIRDS. + ------ + + Another hint for the animal lover who does not wish to spend a + great deal of time in upkeep of their pet(s). Quite deceptive + really, caged birds make more mess than an elephant in a + strawberry patch. [And slightly less than a baby in a food + processor with the top left off! -Ed.] + + If you wake up one morning to find your birds a little cold and + stiff it is a sign that you forgot to wash the spray off the + lettuce leaves you gave them the night before. [Or that you left + the gas oven on, and it wasn't alight. Don't light up a cigarette + to test which it was! -Ed.] + + Budgies: If you ever need to catch them, make sure you have + rubber hands or cast iron gloves- they bite! [I know women like + that! -Ed.] One small problem incurred is that they don't always + let go when you do [Are we talking budgies or the women I + know? -Ed.], and shaking your hand vigorously to flick them off + does wonders to the quality and quantity of stock as they are flung + against the wall. Also, be careful not to give into the + tempation of strangling the rotten little sods when you find + their beak comming through the other side of your finger. + [That narrows it down to 3 women I know. -Ed] + + All this too much to cope with? How about you befriend some of + the local inhabitants of the area. [If they're female I know + most of them already. -Ed] All those bird scraps just + crumble and sprinkle on the verandah. You will soon be mates + with many a sparrow, their brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, + cousins, friends etc etc. Just remember not to sit or lean on + the railings anymore. + + Ever thought how nice it would be to have a feathered friend + keep you company when you went for a swim? [I've been swimming + with birds before! -Ed] Well, a duck is the pet for you. [I + haven't played that game before. Sounds almost as much fun as + Plat-A-Pussy! -Ed] This time, just remember not to walk on your + lawn bearfoot anymore. + + Your alarm clock doesn't work any more? Get some chooks! Without + fail, your new rooster will graciously awake you at dawn, and + this multi-purpose pet will even more graciously appear as + Sunday's dinner within the month. + + And if you feel that birds alone are not enough for you, never + fear! Within a few weeks your aviary or garage can become the + new home for all the local mice and their offspring. + + + DOGS: (Man's best friend - How's that for original!?) + ----------------------------------------------------- + [And I thought there were better things in life than dogs!? -Ed] + + Exercise is the most important thing besides everthing else. [? -Ed] + Depending on the weather and time of day will result in how your + dog wishes to exercise you. Most likely it will wish to give you + a 10 mile run when it's 35 degrees outside. [I thought a hundred + push-ups at 3am while stark naked was bad enough! SYN ..., I'm + not going out with you ever again if that's what it takes! -Ed] + + And of course many cross country tracks that you never dreamed + of trecking will be followed as your dog races after rabbits or + the local cat. [And I thought dogs liked playing with balls! -Ed] + + AND remember, your dog is the most lovable just when you have + given it a bath. [Showers aren't that bad either. Especially if + you've got a bottle of baby oil. -Ed] + + If you like playing golf, then be sure to get your dog when it + is still young. By the time it's grown you will have your very + own 32 hole golf course in the back yard - free of charge. + + (4 Pages of really boring comments that I couldn't make any + statements about were deleted here. In short, dogs dig up your + garden, make a mess of your lawn, have problems having puppies + and are still loved by some people. -Ed] + + + Miscellaneous. + -------------- + + After a generous, caring pet? How about a guinea pig? They will + undoubtedly leave you with a lovely(?) warm feeling in your lap + after petting them. [I really think I should leave the gaffer + tape joke out of this... but REALLY SYN ..., I expected better + from YOU! -Ed] + + Want to get rid of that unused look of your new sofa? Then a cat + will be your choice. It will quickly select your sofa as it's + bed and a great means of sharpening it's claws. [I've had my + sofa messed up by a pussy or two myself! -Ed] + + Goats are great when you are spring cleaning. You might leave + clothes lying around for some variety in their diet. + + Rabbits are good for an inexpensive irrigation system in your + back yard and under your house. [Plus you can offer someone you + really hate some cheat sultanas. -Ed] + + Sheep are great for keeping the lawns down. (Anohter multi- + purpose pet?) [Is that why New Zealanders have such well kept + lawns? -Ed] + + + Conclusion. + ----------- + + Well folks, I hope you are slightly more informed as to which + pet is best suited to you. + + Things to remember: + + * Don't forget to feed. + This can be determined with practice. Increase food + when you have trouble seeing your pet. + + * Don't overfeed! + You have overdone it a little when your pet can no + longer move. + + * Give plenty of exercise. + It is best to put a leash around your pet galah's + ankle, unlike a dog. + + * Choose your pet according to your facilities. + - Don't be so inconsiderate as to purchase a duck + without a swimming pool! + - A dog if you don't have a garden it can excavate. + - A puppy if you don't have new carpets - oh, and + don't forget to leave your new Ug Boots lying around + either! + + Have Fun choosing your new pet now!

This, the + first issue, is as good a place as any to answer this question. + + I love short stories. I had heard of FSFnet, an electronic + magazine that specialized in fantasy and science fiction stories, and + liked the idea of a computer-distributed magazine. The idea was so + appealing that I just assumed there must be lots of them "out there" + on the networks. + + So I started looking around for one. + + I posted messages to all sorts of different network special + interest groups, asking if anyone knew where I could subscribe to such + a magazine. No one seemed to know if any even existed, much less + where to find them. Usually, I would get a few responses from people + who said, "I don't know of any story magazines, but please let me know + if you find one!" + + This routine continued for another couple weeks, and I finally + realized that if I wanted a fiction magazine I'd have to publish it + myself. And thus Athene was born. + + But what could I do to improve upon the idea? Well, first of + all, I like a good story, ANY good story -- not just science fiction + or fantasy. Man, it would be great if there was a magazine that + published quality stories from all walks of literature; religion, + mystery, drama, politics, human nature, sports, and business, in + addition to scifi and fantasy. + + I started looking around at some of the existing emags, to find + out what kind of distribution schemes they used. And then I realized + that about half of them were really ugly. Sure, they were great + magazines and the content was first-rate, but the appearance was so + distracting that I had a hard time taking them seriously. This would + be something I'd have to fix. + + Laser printers are becoming more and more commonplace these days. + Why not distribute Athene pre-formatted and ready to print on a + high-quality printer? "Because not everyone has one, doofus!" So + Athene is be distributed in two formats; one for people who can use + PostScript printers and another for those who can't, or don't want to. + Maybe I suceeded in making both versions as pretty as possible. + + And here we are, three months and 205 subscribers later, with the + premier issue of Athene. I think you'll agree that I met my two + goals. The content is great, and it looks pretty nifty too. + Hopefully, Athene will only get better as time goes on. + + So sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories. (Or else!) Until next + month, + + + -- Jim + + + + + + One Slip + By David B. O'Donnell + LUTHER@MTUS5.BITNET + Copyright 1989 David B. O'Donnell + ====================================================================== + + "And with one slip... + we can lose ourselves forever" + + Shriekback, ''The Only Thing That Shines'' + + + While Rome burned down around us, we made passionate love. Then, + like insane clockwork, the meter ran out, and with a cold sputter + Denis and the ashes of Rome faded away. Leaving me, as they always + did, lying in a sheen of lukewarm sweat, stretched out on my slab of + bedfoam with that light-year stare that is all that remains of an + interrupted stint with a Hallucer. + + Rolling off the sweaty durafoam, I headed over to the 'lucer, + fishing out a few of the Fuehrer's finest. But then the shivers hit + me, and the "instinct to survive" kicked in. I'd been hooked up to + the 'lucer an awful lot lately -- evidenced by the fact that only 30 + new Deutschemarks were left, out of this month's payment, and it was + only the first Satur- day of the month. If you stay plugged in too + long, your sense of reality weakens, especially if you hallucinate + your past, and the shivers were a sign my body was struggling to + recall just where I was. + + The Fourth Reich had promised the world an age of equality, of + prosperity -- of all the things the social democracies and + free-enterprise Bolsheviks had promised us, fifty years ago. Neither + delivered. America was defunct, torn apart in the civil war that + erupted when their 52nd President/High Priest had declared that + certain nationality-, color-, and preference-based minorities were + damned and therefore should be ''Cleaned off the face of this here + earth, yea verily, we will HEAL this planet of its sins!'' The + Sino-Soviets were still struggling with the realities of conquering + each other, were still trying to deal with the nearly four billion + hungry mouths inside their vast borders. Rumor had it that the + Imperial Australian Navy was using thermonuclear devices on the + Coalition of the People's Democratic Pacific Islands. All in all, our + world was heading own the path to annihilation faster than ever + before. In the middle of this anarchic chaos, the European Community + suddenly declared itself the Fourth Reich, and promised to usher in a + new age to this poor world. + + At first, no one listened, but when the Reich started advertising + for buyers for its SURPLUS grain, then for ''Persons of any race, + creed, color, nationality, or political or sexual preference'' to join + in a ''Heraklean task: namely, that of saving our beleaguered Mother + Earth, and of securing the eternal continuance of homo sapiens'', we + listened. Hell, who cared if they chose to call what they had a Reich + or a Playground? It WORKED -- there was no war, no suppression, no + oppression, and plenty of food. The exodus from the ruins of New York + would have impressed Cecile B. DeMille, as literally millions raced + to leave the corruption behind. + + The People's Democratic Republic of New Moskva capitulated over + the phone; their people were tired, hungry, cold, and many were dying + from radiation sickness. If we could deliver 100,000 coats, rations + for a week, and medical supplies, the eastern quarter of Asia was + ours. We delivered, though knowing now as I do at the price that was + paid for that first victory, I almost wonder if it wouldn't have been + easier to let them die, and simply walk in. + + My watch has died, the solar cell a bloated green, but I can tell + by the way the sunlight filters through the smoke that it must be + noon. Out in the courtyard, more burnings are taking place, and I can + hear the cries, smell the sweetness as the bodies of the loyalists are + consumed by plasma torch. + + Shuffling to the fridge, I peer inside. There is still food -- + such as it is -- and distillate, enough for a week or two if I spread + it out. The protein extract bars are gooey this week, and I can only + barely repress a shudder as an old memory of the Prague Experimental + Food Processing Plant comes unbidden to mind, but I tear off the + bioplastic cover, and scarf it down nonetheless. It has no taste + (that's what the distillate is for) but it does contain all the + necessary nutrients for a healthy body. I have to grin at the irony; + my body is wracked with a dozen types of pain daily, from the wars, + and my mind is a shattered vase, only thinly held together by fantasy + and the 'lucer. Hopefully, they will be coming to take me to the + courtyard soon. I suppose I'll scream, like the others, because it is + somehow the proper thing to do, but that thought slips away as my mind + turns back to what it calls the past. + + The first few conquests were easy enough, but eventually the + remnants of the old nationalist fires were restoked, and it became + necessary to fight to free the enslaved masses. We had to starve + Britain out; over seven millions died in the three years it took to + break her, and parts of the island to this day smell like rotted + flesh. And yet, it is said that the most beautiful flower in creation + grows there, and only there: St. Margaret's Thatch, thin wiry flowers + an iridescent blood-red. I had a few once; sent Denis a bouquet, but + he complained they arrived dead, scratchy, and gave him a horrible + allergy-reaction. I laughed, then, and eventually he got the joke. + + We met during the South African campaign, the one of '94. I was + a leftenant in the Fuehrer's air forces, Denis was a network jockey, a + console cowboy, and a notorious philanderer. In mid May, we atomized + Cape Town (and all three million secessionists); on the day after, + Denis and I were married. My parents had died in a place once called + Baltimore, of a rouge cold virus the Canadians had let loose a decade + ago. Denis' refused to come to the ceremony. I guess that was for + the best, because they died the next week, of gunshot wounds through + the back; the Internal Police determined they were passing secrets to + Beijing. We decided to swap last names as part of the ceremony, so I + became Kelly Frustham, and Denis took my last name of O'Reilly. + + In 2095, the forces of the Fourth Reich had completely subjugated + Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Heady on our successes, no one paid + attention to the unrest in Dusseldorf; everyone knew the tales of + genetic manipulation were wrong, anyway. The Fuehrer would never + sanction the use of human beings as cattle, would she? + + Denis and I spent the summer of 2095 in a Paris flat, living like + artists. I was his model, and he made paintings of me in the nude, + and even managed to paint us very realistically making love. Those + were the happiest days of our lives. We were both successful in our + jobs, happy with ourselves, and bouyant with propaganda-influenced + pride in our Fuehrer. October fourth, the forces of the Fuehrer's + space fleet destroyed the Sino-Soviet battlestation; For my birthday a + week later, Denis presented me with a piece of the station, encased in + thermoplastic resin. He never told me where he found it, but I carry + it around with me everywhere. The edges are a little smooth and + rounded, but you can still read the Chinese glyphs on the metal. + + It's Friday now. On Wednesday I gambled with the guard leader + for more money for the 'lucer, and lost. She made me do terrible + things to her with latin names... it took two days to rinse her taste + out of my mouth with distillate. I am ever gladder that I never liked + women. Oh, they took the Russian away last night, little Nikita. He + was a quiet, withdrawn man, who spent his time playing chess with + himself, but you would have thought they had shoved a bowling pin up + his ass last night. Maybe they did. I decided it isn't true, though, + what the Bureau of Information always said. Russians smell just as + cloyingly bad as we do when they burn. Maybe they spitted him before + turning on their portable reactor? I don't know. I need to remember + Denis, his image is fading away as the glue holding my past together + dissolves into dust. + + We adopted Hans in 2096. He turned out to be a sullen, stubborn + boy. His parents were American fundamentalists, and their prejudice + had been set into the substrate of his soul. He didn't approve of me, + he wanted to kill us both. We sent him to the State Psychiatrists. + They told us to put him in the Army. He died, in 2097, in + Vladivostok, of a latent form of the same cold virus that killed my + parents. We decided to have no more children, and moved from Paris to + a spacious apartment in Wiesbaden. The sign said it had once housed + the American President George Bush, but my histories, from America, + told me he had been assassinated in 1991 by members of the ''Coalition + for a Catholic Congress'', one of the many hundreds of terrorist + groups his regime had fought against (and eventually lost to). We + bought two siamese kittens, and settled down. The news from Berlin + was good, the Fuehrer's lover had declared her pregnant with the + Fuehrer-to-be, and the world was preparing for our assault on the + Empire of Australia. + + Even though we were both nearly forty, Denis and I enjoyed an + active, healthy sex life. We were always careful to immunize + ourselves before and after making love -- we didn't want a repeat of + the horrors of the Albuquerque Plagues of the early teens. But as all + things do, every- thing changed when our fleets were routed by + Australia. Denis became furtive, and our relationship suffered. I + was no longer his beau, his beloved Kelly. + + Denis was arrested soon after the defeat, on charges of having + conspired to bring about the defeat of our forces through database + treason. I never saw him again. Soon afterward, we began to lose + more and more battles. I was in Rome when the forces of the Emperor + of Australia burned her; I helped defend the city, but was shot down. + I was captured, or at least that's what I remember. I was in hospital + for many weeks, and they say I did little else but call out for Denis. + + They have come for me at last. I am the only remaining loyalist + to hold out, they say. Everyone else has condemned the Fuehrer, or + died in the plasma torch. I tell them that I don't care what they + want me to say, or not to say. She gave us hope, at least for a + little while. I ask them what my torture will be, and the leader, the + same woman who defeated me with her loaded dice, leers at me and + points at my crotch while making a slicing motion. It doesn't bother + me, though. I have long since been without need for that piece of me. + As we stumble out into the corriidor, I see the image the 'lucer + always fails on... As Rome burns around us, Denis and I are locked in + passionate embrace. + + + --------------------------------------------------- + A neophyte author, Luther (aka David O'Donnell, aka + Atropos) submits that William Gibson, Roger + Zelazny, Michael Moorcock and Frank Herbert are + probably his biggest influences.

Look at it, + Noo. Fascinating, odd architecture, humans scurrying to and fro. I + knew that this would be the right place to go. "Too far," indeed. + Fantastic. Look at all that activity. Noo, leave off the topography + plots for a minute and look, will you? + -- Ah. Strange, the brochure didn't show any vehicles like that + and I'm sure the buildings are supposed to be smaller. + -- Don't be a spoilsport. Things change over time, you know + that. + -- Looks rather dirty to me. + -- It's just technology. Think how glorious the construction of + our temples will be. How splendid the artwork, songs of praise, + sacrifices. Find a place to land for Contact. I'm nearly unstable + with anticipation. How about that clear spot over there? + -- Patience, Vee. Let's wait until the activity dies down. We + wouldn't want to lessen the impact by giving ourselves away before + we're prepared. + + + Johnny Westlake sat in the middle of the fifth green at Las + Palmas, his legs crossed under him. He would often sneak into the + course long after the yups and the retirees and the businessmen + playing hookey finished miscounting their strokes. He would wander + through his mysterious and empty faeryland of palm trees, bridged + brooks, and shadows, and finally choose a place to sit. To brood, + usually. + To brood, tonight. + He whiled away the time hurling carefully crafted invective at + his own life and the institution of life itself, worthless and + wretched. For Johnny was not a happy man; nor was he quite sane. He + would readily agree with that assessment, though he might raise an + eyebrow at his assessor and demand a concrete example of sanity to use + as a referent. Or one of happiness, for that matter. + His few friends had given up discussing the subject at all with + him long ago, which suited Johnny just fine. They didn't understand. + "The problem with our sick world and my sick self," Johnny said + to nobody at all, "is that we've lost our innocence. Jack climbs the + beanstalk and finds a castle. What does he do? Robs and murders the + inhabitant. Right, wrong, who knows? But surely not innocent. Not + innocent at all." + He paused, making quite sure that the point was made. "We are + given blind scientific truth and an abundance of cleverness as + substitutes. Hah!" + He imagined himself a Preacher of the New Faith, casting symbols + to the wind. "Tree of Knowledge, my ass! Mislabeling is lying. We + cannot conceive innocent gods any more than gods could conceive + innocent Man. Is there even any meaning to the word, or does it + merely echo endlessly across the generations, one more unattainable + dream?" + The question was asked to the empty air. No answer came, so + Johnny specifically addressed the close-cut grass on the green around + him. "Do you yet retain innocence, O Blades? Do you endure the Mower + and Divoting Dolts with joyful abandon? Are you unaffected by + fertilizers and herbicides, uppers and downers? Are you satisfied + with the role you've been chosen to play, O carefully stunted Blades?" + With an expansive gesture, he leaned toward the ground, listening + for a response. As usual, he got one. _We'd_be_happier_without_you + _sitting_on_us,_jerk._ + Johnny laughed and sprung to his feet, full of the peculiar + mixture of anger, cynicism, and poor reality-testing that had + energized and consumed his life after Terri gave up on their + relationship, almost a year before. So long ago, and in another + world. + Very deliberately, he deposited a carcass of a field mouse in the + hole near the center of the green. He'd found the corpse earlier, + nestled in the tall dry grasses in the rough. The two of them had + entertained each other, seemingly endlessly, with songs and tales of + their worlds gone similarly mad. Johnny felt that, for the briefest + moment, he had found a compatriot. + "Surprise on five tomorrow," he said, and giggled. + + + -- What shall we wear? Look at this morph design I've been + working on. Three heads; one breathing fire, one breathing ice, and + one for communication. Hard green scaly pelt. I think it's + beautiful. + -- Ah. You're right, of course, Vee. However, it might be + rather disconcerting to them. Consider these designs. + -- They look just like humans. + -- Exactly. Except note the large size and some of the finer + details. + -- Well, I suppose they'll do. Anything for you, my dear. + -- You are most gracious, my dear. + -- Help me fit it, then, will you? My edges feel a bit frayed. + -- My pleasure. + + + Dust swirled around Johnny and into his face, and he cursed the + Furies, as if they were somehow responsible for wind and grit from + sandtraps. It gradually settled, and Johnny could sense that there + was something different around him. A certain electricity in the air. + He heard a slight shimmering, tinkling sound and two figures + appeared before him, out of nothing. + They towered over him, at least twice his height, and they were + human. Well, they _looked_ human, except for their massive stature + and faintly glowing skin. They wore no clothing, and looked vaguely + Mediterranean. + Johnny stood very still while they appeared, his eyes narrowed to + suspicious slits. Then he laughed. + He said, "I regret to inform you that night-putting is not + allowed at Las Palmas. The course opens promptly at eight o'clock. + Come back then." + He noticed no effect on the two apparitions at first. Not a + muscle moved, not a hair bent in the mild breeze. Their eyes gazed at + some spot slightly above Johnny and far behind him. After a time, the + male figure opened its mouth. + "Adore and Worship Us, Mortal!" The words thundered forth. + Johnny was stunned by the volume of the command for a moment, + then shrugged it off. "What have we here? Have Adam and Eve returned + to the scene of their crimes expecting thanks?" + He circled the pair, cautiously. + "When the blind lead the blind the result is blind faith. You + overestimate your charms, my opalescent friends." He paused, + collecting his thoughts. His own particular brew of torture and + sorrow swirled inside him, the frothy bubbles spilling from his mouth. + "Adore and worship? And what reward will great gods offer in + exchange for my soul this time? You will bring Terri back, perhaps? + You will create peace and harmony where none exists to ease the burden + of your murderous charges? The bribes offered by gods are the least + honorable of all, for they cost them nothing." + He was shouting now. "Keep your trinkets and well-polished + services, soul-catchers! They are not required here." + Johnny's breath quickened as he awaited a response. After a + time, the female's gaze converged on him. + "Adore and Worship Us!" she boomed. + "Fuck off." + + + -- Noo, are you sure that the translator is working properly? + -- Yes, it all checks. This is most distressing. The brochure + details the human reactions that other groups have received in the + past. All most satisfactory. Occasionally quite delightful. But + there's nothing there to account for this. + -- I do hope this planet isn't spoiled; we came so far. We can't + very well replay _this_ for Ga and Tia.

"Rejoice and celebrate, my + child, for we are come!" + Johnny clenched and unclenched his hands in an odd rhythm, now + completely oblivious to anything in his world but the apparitions in + front of him. + He cackled a burst of laughter. "A song, then!" He sang a snatch + from the latest Bloodhounds tune making the playlists on progressive + rock stations. + + I read the signs + I hate the signs + TV personalities + I hate them all + Buy Coca-Cola + I said, "Buy Coca-Cola" + Don't buy Pepsi + Drink Coke! + + He coughed, and spat on the foot of the female giant. The + spittle sizzled and disappeared, as it might do on a frying pan. + Johnny stared at the glowing foot for a long time, looking inward and + outward. He ached. + + + -- Noo, this is horrible. I won't stand for it. + -- Quite right. I have an idea. The images in the brochure show + only groups of worshippers. I wonder if they have to swarm to behave + properly? + -- Hey, I bet that's it. + -- There is a heavily populated area very near here. Give me a + moment, my dear, to modify us for flight. + + + "Let me tell you a story," Johnny said, finally, quietly. "Once + upon a time there was a young archaeologist, with the eagerness of a + fresh Ph.D. in his hand and his first little hole to dig. He was in + a god-forsaken and destitute part of Iraq, looking for precursors to + the Sumerians. + "In the course of time, he discovered a small settlement and, in + particular, a stone building that he fancied a small temple. + Eventually, after much careful digging and scraping, he unearthed its + secrets. He found a small enclosure, containing a row of fairly large + urns settled next to the wall. The north wall. + "This made him very excited, for obscure reasons. He issued a + report containing a description of his findings, and some of his own + speculation on their significance and possible meaning. + "He was a foolish and arrogant man." + + + -- I still like the three-headed green lizards better. + -- Vee, I thought we'd decided to try these morphs again. + -- Don't get excited. I was only teasing. We don't get many + chances to vacation, especially in wild and remote areas like this. I + think you should relax and enjoy it. + -- You're absolutely right, dearest. My apologies. + + + "Analysis proved quite convincingly that the damned urns were + toilets, of course. Oh, the slugs in the department loved that. + _Praying_to_the_porcelain_gods,_were_they,_Johnny?_" + He stifled a giggle. "The more I think about it, the more sense + that theory makes." + Johnny fell silent then; thinking, thinking, his body swaying + slightly. + + + -- All set, Vee? + -- I guess so. Noo, what do we do if all humans react like this + one? + -- Call in the harvesters, I guess. + -- I suppose so. Seems sad, somehow. + + + The two figures rose slowly off the well-tended grass and began + to float north. Their progress was smooth and silent in the cool + wind. + Johnny broke out of his reverie. He shook an upraised fist at + the departing aliens. "You won't find what you want," he shouted to + the air. "Beware expectations in the dominion of Man." + A short time later, two o'clock arrived and the lawn sprinklers + came to life. Johnny danced playfully in the water, opening his mouth + to catch the droplets in a vain attempt to quench his terrible thirst. + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Derek is a computer science graduate student at the + University of Wisconsin - Madison.

There was thunderous applause but I could see as little of + the source as I could of my musical companion's mind. When I looked + up, all that was visible was a single light shining on us, as if it + were an eye, following us closely as we crossed from the edge of the + stage to our instruments. + + As we sat we faced one another but not once did she look at me + until she was ready to begin. With a single nod from her we were into + the first piece. "She's the leader," I told myself. "You play with + your soul but she's holding it all together." + + Music poured from my fingers with a fiery Spanish feel. I knew + those notes well and meant them when I played them. She knew them + even better than I did but it was as if she were taking dictation. + Her notes came out incredibly. They were beautifully accurate but + still-- almost as if a computer played them. My frustration was + hammered into the keys and came out in the same way. My music was + consumed with hatred and pain "Why won't you respond to me?" my + fingers asked her. She did nothing more than continue her part, + without sign of caring for the music, just intense concentration. + "Why does she call all the shots?" I wanted to know. + + I went back into my memory and tried to recall what it was that + had put me in this position. "Don't you know?" a voice from the back + of my mind shouted. "Think about it," it said, "you wanted it-- + remember?" That was right-- I had wanted it. "God, that was long + ago," I thought as the music ended with a furious array of notes, + fortissimo. Again came the anonymous roar as the eye looked down + condescendingly. "What the hell does it want from me?" I thought. + + "You fool!" it screamed, drowning out the thunder, "never forget + that you put yourself here! She's calling the shots because you + wanted her to!" + + "You're crazy!" my mind echoed back, reflexively, but the voice + was right. There I was, waiting what seemed like hours, and for what? + Only to play another useless melody. To acknowledge the applause as + smile masked her face and she looked out, as if she could see that + hidden audience. "Why is she so perfect?" came my next question. + "You're so hidden behind that wall that I can't find you." + + Before I knew it we were into the next piece. My fingers knew it + so well that I was playing it as though I were the listener, not the + performer. It was a slow, relaxing piece, so I just let it happen. + + "Do you remember," the voice asked, "how it happened?" + + Did I? I guess so. Dr. Barton had really started it off. + "Stevens!" he'd told me, "this is Kelly Johnson! You play with a lot + of feeling but you're sloppy as hell. She's as accurate as can be but + doesn't say a damn thing! I'm putting the two of you together until + you straighten one another out!" He left us in that room with only two + pianos one another. We had nothing to do but play. We started into a + piece and by the fourth measure she'd stopped. + + "What's wrong?" I asked. + + "Why don't you try following the rhythm?" she replied coolly. + + "That's what I was doing!" I was getting defensive. + + "Not really," she said. "Try it this way." And she played the + part for me. She was right. I had missed a beat. It hadn't occurred + to me that if I sound all right I can still be making a mistake. In + the same way it had never occurred to her that playing something + accurately doesn't necessarily mean playing it well. "Play it with + more of a flow, O.K?" I told her somewhere in the same piece. + + "What sort of a flow?" + + What a question. I had to show her. "Legato means a lot more + than 'notes connected.' Try it more like this." I played the piece, + exaggerating the legato so she'd catch on. + + "All right," she said. When she played it back to me she had my + exaggerated legato copied perfectly. Every single bit of emotion she + put into that piece of music was mine because she wouldn't use her own + Every single rhythm in that piece was exactly as written, but only + because she showed me how to do it. We were crutches for one another, + but Dr. Barton was never really satisfied. + + So there we were, in a room full of thousands of people. We were + each totally alone, even apart from each other. The light shone down, + hotter and hotter every minute, making the relaxation in the piece + almost impossible, but we still managed to pull through it alright. + Again came the lunatic roar but the light seemed more and more to + disapprove. It was so powerful that my hands trembled. Kelly must + have felt it, too. She let that smiling mask of hers flicker, even if + only for a moment. + + We played a requiem mass next. It seemed too easy. Playing + macabre was not at all difficult enough to be comfortable with and I + felt as if I were growing weaker and weaker. The light seemed to dim + but in doing so it grew more and more intensely horrifying. I looked + at her and, for the first time I could ever remember, she was looking + at me as well. I'd never seen anyone so usually on top of things look + so lost. Her eyes pleaded with me to help her. What could I do? As + the piece ended we were met with a total silence even worse than the + deafening roar. + + My hands were frozen. The eye was dimming-- giving up on us. + Suddenly, with a power I never knew I had, my hands broke free. + "Shit!" my piano cried through a sickeningly dissonant chord. She + echoed it reflexively but then stared at her own hands-- shocked at + her profanity. I repeated the chord and she continued echoing it back + to me, each time growing just a little louder. For one in my life I + saw a grin on her face. She was enjoying her rebellion! My fingers + were in total ecstasy as they resolved that dissonance into a + resoundedly joyous chord and again she mimicked me perfectly. My + hands went on for what seemed like hours, spontaneously composing and + proclaiming a wonder and amazement I'd never been able to speak. + Finally, after years of waiting, she came up with her own phrase. A + single chord, soft and gentle, whispered "I love you" and I echoed her + chord. The smile I'd seen before turned into a beaming glow. As we + repeated her glorious phrase back and forth, louder and louder, we + both started to cry and when we were finished, the chord echoed + through the hall as if it would never die out. I looked up. Our + eerie observer was shining radiantly and I could feel the face of Dr. + Barton smiling not at me, but at us. + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Bill Sklar is a musician with interests in + filmmaking, biomedical ethics, gay and lesbian + issues, law and writing.

"Once I have that I'll be able to shop in earnest!" + + Phil Davis was an avid photography buff. No one at Columbia High + School, where Phil attended 10th grade, could remember a student ever + becoming photography editor of the school newspaper in their sophomore + year. Phil pursued everything he did with persistence and + determination and his interest in photography was no exception. His + talent for composing a photograph and taking a picture that expressed + the essence of the subject earned him his current position. + + The irony in this situation was that Phil didn't even own his own + camera. The school had only two aging Nikons and they were often in + use by faculty members. Phil believed that if he possessed his own + camera he could improve the quality of the school newspaper. He would + be able to plan the school events he would be covering instead of + playing catch as catch can with the two school cameras. The fact that + he was the photography editor pulled no weight when signing up for one + of the cameras. Faculty had preference! + + Phil returned the lawn tools to his toolbox. He had built a + small trailer that attached to the back of his bike in which he + carried his toolbox, a gasoline powered lawn mower and all the tools + he needed to trim lawns in his neighborhood. He had been maintaining + lawns for several years and had worked it into quite a business. It + was this business that was going to enable him to purchase his first + camera. + + He was just packing to leave when Mrs. McCarthy came out onto + the porch of her immaculately kept victorian home and shouted, + + "Philip! Philip Davis! Don't you dare leave young man. You + haven't finished the job yet and I won't pay you a single penny until + you do!" + + Sighing Phil walked back up the sidewalk to where Mrs. McCarthy + was standing on her porch, hands on her hips. He had gone through + this many times before. + + Ever Since Mr. McCarthy died last year it was always the same. + Mrs. McCarthy was probably seventy, or so Phil thought, and was quite + lonely after the death of her husband. She used these complaints + simply as a method of keeping him there a little longer. Phil knew + this and really didn't mind. Mrs. McCarthy had always paid and he + knew that she liked the work he did. + + "Mrs. McCarthy," Phil said patiently, "the lawn is mowed, the + hedges trimmed, and I've edged your sidewalk and the walk to your + porch. I am done here and I have another lawn to finish before dark. + I have to be going." + + It was 2:04 on a Saturday in July as they stood there facing each + other. Phil knew he had plenty of time before dark. The next lawn, + Mr. Pell's, would only take about an hour or so and the rest of the + afternoon would be his. He just didn't want to get into an argument + with Mrs. McCarthy which would last 15 or 20 minutes and would end + with her telling him "Alright, it does look pretty good I guess." + + She may have sensed his reluctance to argue this particular day + as she said to him, + + "Alright, it does... No. Philip the lawn looks just fine. + You've done a good job. You always do. I don't believe even Edgar, + my late husband, could have done a better job." + + She turned to go back into the house, the sun making her silver + hair shine like a halo, when she paused. She turned back to face Phil + and said hopefully, + + "Philip, I've just taken a batch of chocolate chip cookies out of + the oven. Would you care to have a few with a big glass of cold milk + before you leave to work on your next lawn? It is getting warm + outside and the milk will do you good." + + Phil hadn't expected this. Oh, he had enjoyed Mrs. McCarthy's + cookies many times. She made the best cookies he had ever tasted. + Even the peanut butter cookies that he normally couldn't stand were + delicious the way Mrs. McCarthy made them. It wasn't as though he + didn't have the time either. + + "It is getting warm," Phil said with a smile, "And I haven't had + any of your cookies in a long time. You know chocolate chip is my + favorite!" + + "It's settled then!" said Mrs. McCarthy beaming. "You go on + into the living room and I'll bring your cookies and milk right in." + + Phil hurried up the steps of the porch and held the solid oak + door open for her as she entered the house and headed for the kitchen. + Phil closed the door behind him and headed into the living room. + + The walls of the living room were dotted with pictures. Some + were photographs of a wedding ceremony that Phil thought was Mr. and + Mrs. McCarthy. These photos were black and white and showing their + age. If they were of Mrs. McCarthy she was a beautiful woman back + then. Other pictures seemed more recent. Some photos showed children + throwing sticks into a pond. Others were of children running through + a field filled with black eyed Susans. + + "My Grandchildren," said Mrs. McCarthy entering the room and + noticing the pictures at which Phil was looking. She was carrying a + large tray upon which was a plate full of chocolate chip cookies and a + tall glass of milk. The room was much cooler than outside but + droplets of moisture still formed on the outside of the glass. + + "Edgar took them a couple of years ago when we visited them in + Old Town, Maine," she said as she set the tray down on a table in + front of the sofa. "Come on over here and have some of these + cookies," she said. "Lord knows I can't eat them all." + + Phil left his study of the photographs and sat down on the sofa. + Thanking Mrs. McCarthy he picked up a cookie and began eating. Mrs. + McCarthy could make a great cookie and these were still warm! He + sipped the milk. Chocolate chip cookies always made him thirsty. + Mrs. McCarthy was looking at the wedding pictures herself now. She + said to no one in particular, + + "Those pictures were taken almost 50 years ago. My wedding day. + The most wonderful day of my life. Edgar and I were married on July + 24. A terribly hot day, but wonderful all the same." She was quiet + for a few seconds then turned to face Phil as though waking from a + daydream. "Well young man, how are the cookies?" she asked smiling. + + "Mrs. McCarthy," Phil said honestly, "I swear you make the best + cookies in the world." She smiled all the more at that. As Phil + finished the last of his milk he said, "I really do have to be going. + I've got to finish Mr. Pell's lawn and I want to get it done early. + I plan to do some shopping for a camera today. I've saved enough from + my lawn business, from what's left over after my mom takes the share + for my college fund, to get a good one." + + Phil and his mother had reached an agreement when Phil began his + lawn care business. She was concerned that it would take time away + from his school work or that he would waste the money that he earned. + As long as his grades stayed up, Phil was a "B" student, he could work + in the neighborhood maintaining lawns. There was one additional + condition. Half of all the money he earned, before expenses, had to + be placed into a savings account to be used for college. + + Phil had agreed to the conditions then. There were times however + that he regretted his decision, especially when there was something he + really wanted to buy. All of the expenses of maintaining the business + had to come out of the money left after the college portion was placed + in the bank by his mother. That left precious little for himself. + + He did realize the wisdom in his mother's conditions. The bank + account was slowly growing and by the time he was ready for college it + would be a fair sum. It certainly wouldn't pay his way through + college but with scholarships (he hoped!) and student loans he should + be able to put himself through college. + + Phil got up from the sofa and made his way to the door. Mrs. + McCarthy followed. He opened the door and stepped out onto the porch. + The heat of the day was building and it seemed to cover him like a + blanket compared to the coolness of the house. + + "Thank you again for the cookies," Phil said looking at Mrs. + McCarthy who was holding the door open. + + "You're quite welcome Philip. You come back anytime. And by the + way," she said as he turned to go, "you did do a fine job on the lawn. + I do appreciate it." She smiled one last time and closed the door. + Phil stood there for a second then walked to his bike quite pleased. + Mrs. McCarthy had never complimented him outright like that before. + Today she had done it twice! It was a good feeling. + + He peddled his bike over to Mr. Pell's house, the trailer + clattering noisily behind him. The sidewalk over which he rode was + not level. Some portions were slanted at angles, pushed up by roots + from trees planted in yards years before. As he rode over these his + bike would bound up, then down suddenly. He had quickly learned to + stand on the peddles of his bike when going over these areas. This + avoided uncomfortable bruises and the inability to sit comfortably for + days afterward. + + He finished with Mr. Pell's yard in record time. The heat of + the day not bothering him at all. His mind was completely on the + camera shopping he was going to be doing that afternoon. When he had + finished collecting for the work he had done this week he would + finally have over $500.00 to spend on a camera. He had saved that + amount over many months just for the purpose of buying a camera. + + It was just after 4:00 when Phil returned home. Unhooking his + trailer from the bike he put it in the garage in the spot his dad had + reserved for it. + + He went into the house through the door which led from the garage + directly into the kitchen. His mother was there preparing supper. + The aroma of spaghetti sauce was unmistakable. His mother was + standing in front of the stove stirring the contents of a large pot + from which steam and the aroma filling the kitchen was coming. + + "Are we having spaghetti tonight?" Phil asked hopefully. They + didn't have spaghetti very often and it was one of his favorite meals. + + "Yes we are," his mother said smiling. "I thought you might + enjoy it, especially tonight." She had known that Phil was going to + reach the goal of $500.00 he had set for himself today and she had + planned this meal in order to celebrate. She knew the $500.00 was an + arbitrary figure Phil had set for himself but he said he couldn't shop + for a camera unless he had at least that amount. She had kept track + of his money for him, not that she needed to, and knew that today's + collections would put him over that figure. + + "You get yourself into the bathroom and get cleaned up," she + gently scolded. "You're a mess. I won't have you go through my house + in that state!" + + He laughed. His 5'7" frame that belied the 6'2" he would + eventually become was covered with grass clippings. The knees of his + jeans were stained green from where he had knelt to trim the grass + from the edge of sidewalks, and his sneakers were also stained green + and covered with clippings. He knew he was a mess. + + "And go back into the garage and take those sneakers off!" his + mother said in mock seriousness. "I don't want you tracking half of + the neighborhood's lawns into my bathroom." + + Again Phil laughed as he went back into the garage to remove his + grass stained sneakers. He took them outside to knock out the grass + that had managed to work it's way inside and took off his socks that + were also covered with grass. He knew his mother would send him back + out if he entered the house with them on so he figured doing it now + would save him a trip. + + He walked back into the kitchen and passed his mother's silent + inspection as he made his way to the bathroom carrying his socks. He + placed them in the clothes hamper then stripped off the rest of his + clothes and placed them in the hamper too. He quickly showered and + washed his hair. He was amused to see small blades of grass make + their way through the soapy river to the drain as he rinsed his head. + + Having completed his shower, and feeling much cleaner, he wrapped + himself in the oversize towel hanging next to the shower and made his + way to his bedroom to get into some clean clothes. He hadn't bothered + to dry himself so drops of water fell to the floor on the entire + journey from the bathroom to his bedroom. He knew he would hear about + it if his mother happened to notice. However on a hot day like today + the water evaporating from his skin felt great and it was worth the + risk of a scolding. + + His room was tidy, his mother insisted on that, and perhaps more + organized than a typical 15 year old's room would be. On his desk was + a notebook filled with dates and places of events covered for the + school newspaper the year before. This notebook traveled with him + every time he covered any event. He kept track of the event, the + shots he took, the names of the individuals in the photographs, if + they were to be mentioned in an article, and copies of completed + release forms. He requested people to sign these forms in order to + use their pictures in the paper. Everyone thought it was an + unnecessary procedure, but you never knew. + + The walls of his room were covered with pictures of the school, + pictures of action shots of the football team of which he was a + member, pictures of the cheerleaders, and other shots that had nothing + to do with school. He liked the pictures of the cheerleaders best. + If someone looked closely at them they might notice that one girl + appeared in every picture. He liked Cathy Danis but would admit it to + no one. + + He dressed quickly and returned to the kitchen where his mother + still worked preparing supper. "Mom", he said entering the kitchen, + "I'm going down to the ShutterBug to take a look at some of the + cameras there. I want to price some of them before making a + decision." + + The ShutterBug was one of the local camera stores where Phil + bought all of his film. The school provided him with bulk black and + white film, Tri-X and Plus-X, for school assignments, and a small + amount for his own use. All color film he bought at the ShutterBug. + He had his color film processed there as well. While he had access to + the school's darkroom for processing black and white film, the school + didn't purchase the chemicals necessary to process color film. + + Phil had done quite a bit of business with the ShutterBug and he + felt that Mr. Jenson, the owner, would give him a good deal on a + camera purchased there. + + "Supper is going to be in just over an hour," his mother reminded + him. "Be back before then." + + "I will," he assured her. Phil gave her a quick kiss on the + cheek on his way out to the garage. He got on his bike and headed to + the ShutterBug. + + Peddling his bike was much easier without the additional weight + of the trailer. Quieter too. He nearly flew over the sidewalks on + his way to the camera store. + + On the way Phil had to pass by several clothes stores, the local + hardware store, the local mom and pop grocery store, and a deserted + storefront that used to contain the video arcade. The arcade had + moved when the new mall was built outside of town. The arcade had + located inside the mall where there was more space and more pedestrian + traffic. The storefront had been deserted since then. + + Phil was surprised when he reached the old location of the + arcade. The big picture window, previously dusty and streaked by + rain, was now sparkling clean. On the glass in place of the large + garish painted letters which once read simply ARCADE, was neatly + painted lettering which read FOLLISS' CAMERA. + + Stopping his bike next to the plate glass window, Phil held his + hand up to the glass and looked within the store. He was surprised to + see neat displays of cameras and photo supplies. Phil got off of his + bike and parked it on it's kickstand then went inside. + + As he opened the door he heard the small bells attached to the + door jingle, announcing his presence to anyone inside. There wasn't + anyone behind the counter, which wasn't unusual in a small town store, + so Phil walked over to a display case to look at the cameras there. + He spent a few minutes looking at the cameras in the display cases. + + "Can I help you?" asked a friendly voice. Phil turned to see a + tall man just coming into the store through a doorway leading to a + portion of the shop in the back. "Sorry to make you wait," said the + man apologetically, "but I was in the process of arranging the + inventory in the back." With a motion of his thumb he indicated the + doorway through which he had just come. + + Phil looked at the man for several seconds before replying. The + man was tall and had very angular features. His hair was jet black + and cut close to his head. He had an accent to his speech that Phil + had never heard before. He knew several foreign exchange students at + school but this man's accent was completely different than any he had + previously heard. As he stood there contemplating the storekeeper he + was also aware that the room was a little too warm to be comfortable. + + As though he had read Phil's mind the storekeeper broke the + silence by saying, "Don't let the heat bother you too much. I just + opened the shop this week and the air conditioning isn't working yet. + Luckily I haven't stocked any film so it can't be ruined. Now, how + can I help you?" + + Phil was a little bit uncomfortable as he replied, "I'm planning + to buy a camera and I was on my way to the ShutterBug to price a few + when I noticed your shop." He added, "I was a little surprised to see + a camera store here. I decided that since it was on my way I'd stop + in to see what you had." + + The storekeeper smiled. Phil felt a chill run through him in + response to that smile, even in this heat. He thought it must be the + sweat. He could feel it forming on his forehead and running in a + little trickle down his back. + + "You've come to the right place!" the storekeeper said + confidently. "I don't carry an extensive line, well actually I carry + only one type of camera, but you won't find another like it anywhere! + The camera is called the Follis 138," the storekeeper continued in his + unfamiliar accent, "and it takes pictures that are beyond compare." + Motioning to a counter in the front of the store the storekeeper said, + "Come on over here and see for yourself." + + Walking behind the counter the storekeeper reached into a drawer + and produced a stack of pictures that he spread out over the counter + top. "I took these pictures myself," he said helpfully, "Take a + look." + + Phil looked at the pictures and was stunned. The quality of the + pictures was beyond anything he had ever seen before. One photo + showed a scene from a beach where the waves were lapping the sand. + The photo appeared so real Phil felt he could reach into it and take a + handful of sand. He thought he could almost imagine the sound of the + waves against the beach. + + He looked at another of these photographs, unaware now of the + heat in the store. This photo showed a scene of winter desolation. + The snow was blue white. Cold dunes made their way into the distance. + Phil felt as though he could feel the chill air and hear the icy wind + tearing at the dunes. + + He examined picture after picture with the same stunned awe. + Here a primeval forest scene, here what appeared to be a medieval + castle. Another showed the storekeeper himself laying on an + inflatable raft and floating in water so blue and at the same time so + clear as to be unreal. + + The storekeeper smiled when Phil got to the picture of himself + and said, "Well, I didn't take all of these. That one was obviously + taken by someone else. But all of the rest were taken by me using + nothing but the Follis 138." + + "What kind of film were you using?" Phil asked almost absently as + he studied the rest of the pictures. "There is no grain in any of + these pictures. The edges of the subjects are crisp and clean. The + depth of field is astounding." Phil was looking again at the picture + of the storekeeper floating on a raft in the water. Not only was the + image of the storekeeper crisp and clean but through the water he + could see fish and on the sandy bottom shells who's images were just + as sharp. + + The storekeeper again smiled his unnerving smile and said, "Ah, + that's the beauty of this camera," indicating the cameras in the + display case. "It uses any color or black and white 35mm film, not + that that's unusual," and he laughed a bit. "The real beauty of this + camera is that the pictures you take will be of this quality + regardless of the film you use!" + + "That's impossible." Phil objected. "Tri-X is much grainier than + is Plus-X and the pictures will show it regardless of the camera + used." + + "Not so," corrected the storekeeper, "I don't fully understand + all of the technical details behind the camera, but it senses the film + type you are using and adjusts accordingly. I guarantee that the + pictures you take, regardless of film used, will turn out exactly like + these." Again he smiled that disconcerting smile. + + "That is really hard to believe," Phil stated flatly. He knew + that he didn't know everything that there was to know about + photography. He was also aware that camera manufacturers were coming + out with new, even more sophisticated models all of the time, but he + had never heard of a camera that could do what this strange man + claimed this one could. He again looked at the photos spread out on + the counter. Their quality was hard to ignore. + + "Are you telling me that this camera is fully automatic and to + get this kind of quality I have to do nothing?" Phil asked. + + "Oh, absolutely!" replied the storekeeper. "All you have to do, + as the ads say, is point and shoot! No aperture adjustments, not + shutter speed settings, no focusing, nothing! Believe it or not every + picture you take will turn out just as good as these." + + Phil was still not convinced that this camera could be as good as + this man claimed. He thought that there had to be a catch. With that + thought in mind Phil asked, "What does this camera cost?" + + "Ah," said the storekeeper smiling. If a cat could smile you + might expect the same smile when it had cornered a mouse, "perhaps + that is the best part. The Follis 138 costs only $200.00." + + Phil was again stunned. "Two hundred dollars! Is that all? + I've looked at some of the better Nikons, Canons, and Pentaxs and they + cost considerably more than that!" Phil again looked at the + photographs on the counter. The beach and water photo looked more + real than ever. + + The storekeeper just stood there smiling in the heat. After a + few seconds he asked, "Do I have a sale?" + + Phil thought for a second then reluctantly said, "No, not today. + I didn't bring my money. Besides, I want to talk to a few people + before making a purchase." + + The storekeeper nodded then said, "When you decide come on back. + I will be here." Then without another word he walked to the doorway to + the back room and disappeared through it. Phil was left as alone as + he had been when he had entered the store. Glancing at his watch Phil + saw that he had spent over an hour talking to the storekeeper. He was + going to be late for supper! + + He quickly left the store. Running to his bike the air felt + almost cold compared to the heat that was within the camera store. He + raced home as fast as he could. He quickly parked his bike and ran + into the house. His family was just sitting down to the supper table. + + His mother gave him a disapproving look and said "Go to the + bathroom and wash up for supper." + + Phil did as he was told. As he was washing his hands he looked + in the mirror and was a little shocked. He looked as though he had + just gone swimming with his clothes on. Every piece of clothing was + soaked with sweat and his hair was matted against his head. No wonder + his mother had looked at him so. He took one of the hand towels and + dried his hair then combed it. There was little he could do about his + clothes before supper. + + He went back to the table where his family was enjoying the + spaghetti and sat at his usual place. His mother served him a + plateful of spaghetti and covered it with a generous serving of the + sauce that she had been cooking all day. + + Phil thanked her absently and began eating. He really didn't + taste the food. His mind was on the camera and the pictures he had + seen at the shop. How could a camera take such pictures with any type + of film? How could a camera adjust the depth of field to cover such a + range as was evident in the ocean picture. He remembered the image on + the sea shell on the ocean floor and the shopkeeper floating in the + water above it. Both images had been crystal clear and sharp! + + "Philip!" his father demanded, interrupting his reverie. "Your + mother is talking to you!" + + "Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking Mom, Dad." + + "Well did you see any cameras you liked at the ShutterBug?" his + mother asked. + + "Never made it there," Phil replied. "There's this new camera + store where the old arcade used to be. I stopped in there. By the + time I got out I had to come home." He added a little sheepishly, "I + was a little late." + + "You looking at anything in particular?" asked his father. + + Phil's father was an accountant and didn't share his son's + enthusiasm for photography. He was glad his son was into something + creative and he knew his son had a talent for photography. However he + didn't know one type of camera from another. His question was more to + show that he was interested in his son's activities than to discuss + specific camera makes and models. + + "Well I saw this one camera Dad," Phil began, and described what + had taken place at the new camera shop. He decided not to mention his + impressions of the store owner. + + "Two hundred dollars is a lot of money to spend on a camera you + know nothing about," his father advised. "I suggest you wait until + you've learned a little more about it before you buy it. Is there + anyone else you could talk to who might know more about it?" + + "Hmmmm. I hadn't thought about that Dad," said Phil + thoughtfully. "I could talk to Mr. Riley on Monday. He's probably + teaching a summer school class. Someone is always failing physics and + it's a graduation requirement." + + When Phil finished his supper and asked to be excused. He went + straight to his room and sat cross-legged on his bed staring at the + pictures on his wall. How pale these now seemed compared to those he + had seen this afternoon. How good Cathy would look if he could take + her picture with the Follis 138. The more he thought about it the + more he convinced himself that he wanted the Follis. He was + determined to talk to Mr. Riley and get his advice before making any + final decision.

The color was the perfect + shade, but the paint was still a little too thick. Well, unlike + yesterday, she had plenty of paint thinner on hand. As she reached up + to the top shelf, she paused, looking at the picture on the easel in + front of her. + + It was a woodland scene, only partially finished. When done, + there would be a sparkling brook, lush grass, and towering trees. It + reminded her a lot of the vacation spot where she went every year with + her parents until her mother died. In fact, she suddenly realized, + she probably was painting that spot. Her mother would have liked it. + + Her mother never tried painting, Megan knew, but she had loved to + make pencil drawings of the places they visited. Megan still had one, + tucked away in the bottom drawer of her desk where all her special + papers resided. Her father had destroyed the rest when her mother + died. He hated her drawings--they were a waste of time, he said. + + Megan frowned at the thought, then shook her head. Enough of + memories. She resolutely grabbed the paint thinner from its place on + the top shelf and added a little to the paint. Once again she swirled + some on the paper and held it up to the light. Perfection! Or at + least as close to perfection as an amateur could come. + + Megan closed her eyes, imagining the picture as she wanted it to + be. She imagined the grass swaying in the breeze. It should be long + and untrampled, like the area where her mother always spread the + picnic blanket. Most of all, it should look alive. + + She opened her eyes again, and surveyed her paints. Maybe a + touch of silver would help suggest the movement of the grass in the + breeze, she mused. She painted a few strokes of the green grass, + added the silver highlight, then leaned back to critique the result. + She sighed. Maybe Dr. Burnstrom was right. + + "Megan," he had said at one of her father's parties, "you've got + talent. But you still don't know how to use it properly." He pulled + out a business card and a pen and scribbled something on it. "Here's + the name of an excellent art professor at your college. If you really + want to learn how to paint, you should take a class with him." Handing + the card to Megan, he continued, "He'll be able to smooth out your + problems with technique." + + She had accepted the card at the time, Megan remembered, but she + had never looked up the professor. After all, she had enough pre-law + classes to take without trying to fit an art class in somewhere. + Besides, dad was paying for the classes, and he would have hit the + roof at the thought of his daughter "dabbling in paints." But now that + she had a scholarship for her last two years, maybe she could take + what she wanted to take ... + + Megan's eyes lit up briefly at the thought, then dimmed again. + No, dad still wouldn't approve. Come to think of it, her friends + wouldn't understand, either. They had their eyes set on exciting + trials and prestigious positions. They were practical, not dreamers + like her. + + Megan sighed, then began putting away her paints. The painting + just wasn't going well today. Better to put it off until tomorrow. + Besides, Michele was going to pick her up in another hour. Today was + Freddy's birthday, so they were all going out to celebrate. Not that + she was terribly thrilled by the idea, or anything. Freddy was a good + friend, and she loved Italian food, but she just wasn't in the mood to + put up with the group. + + Megan picked up the picture and carried it back to her bedroom. + Though she liked painting in front of the big picture window with the + fall breezes blowing through her hair, Michele would be sure to + comment if she saw it. Better to tuck it away in her room, and never + let anyone back there. + + It was amazing how many people asked to see "the whole + apartment," as they phrased it, but Megan always managed to get out of + it by pleading a messy room. Only Dr. Burnstrom, an old childhood + friend of her mother's, knew that she still painted. And she intended + to keep it that way. + + + The doorbell rang. Megan dropped her brush on the counter and + ran to get the door in her bare feet. "Hi, Michele!" she said. "Come + on in." She stepped back to let Michele pass. "I'm almost ready. + Just let me grab my shoes and we'll be off." + + "Sure thing," Megan heard Michele say as she hurried back to her + room. She grabbed the nearest pair of shoes, shoved her feet into + them, picked up a purse (it didn't match, but she didn't feel like + stopping to change it), then rushed back to the living room. Michele + was staring at a picture on the wall. + + "Hey, I kind of like this picture," Michele exclaimed. "Who's it + by?" She reached out to touch it. Megan winced. Why does everyone + always have to touch everything? + + "Dali," Megan replied. "Salvador Dali. He just died a few + months ago." She looked up at the picture. It was one of her + favorites, given to her by her mother after they had visited the Dali + museum in St. Petersburg. + + "Ahh, that's too bad," Michele said. To Megan she sounded + insincere. But on the other hand, Michele was no Dali scholar, so + Megan was willing to overlook it. "What's it a picture of, anyway?" + Michele continued. "It's, err, hard to tell." + + Megan laughed. "Yeah, Dali definitely has some strange stuff." + She wondered what Dali would think of one of her pictures, barely + stifling a giggle at the thought. "Anyway, the picture is called + 'Velazquez Painting the Infanta Margarita with the Lights and Shadows + of his Own Glory.' What's interesting about it is that, as the title + suggests, it actually has another painting hidden within it." She + pointed to the picture, tracing lines in the air in front of it with + her finger as she talked. "See, here's the girl's head, and the red + squiggles down here form the trim on her gown. It billows out down + around the bottom." Megan pulled her arms down from the picture and + gestured around her legs in a rough approximation of the shape of the + gown. + + Michele nodded. "Sure, I see it now," she said, looking at her + watch. "That's interesting." + + Megan hardly noticed the movement. "Yes. Dali really liked + Velazquez's work, so he included his painting in here as a tribute to + him." She paused. "Some day I'm going to frame a copy of Velazquez's + picture and hang it up here next to this one." She turned to face + Michele, and grinned. "Then you won't have any problems seeing the + Infanta in it." + + Michele laughed politely, then looked at her watch again. + "Great," she said. "We really should be going, though." + + Megan took a long last look at the picture. Looking at it always + made her happy. You could see it as a relatively normal painting, or + you could dig deeper and find what else it hid. She liked that. "I + suppose so," she said with a sigh. "Let's go." She reached into her + purse for her keys, came up empty-handed, then looked around the room + for them. She was forever misplacing them. "Once I find my keys, + that is," she said ruefully. + + Michele dangled them in front of her face. "They were under the + chair," she said, wagging her finger playfully in Megan's face. + "Great filing system. Some lawyer you're going to make!" + + Michele was still laughing as she went out the door. Megan + paused, looking up at the picture again. "Yeah," she muttered. "Some + lawyer I'm going to make." She pulled the door shut on the picture and + followed Michele out into the night air. + + + "Sure, criminal law might be fun," Greg said as he helped himself + to more salad, "but corporate law is where the big bucks are." He took + a bite of salad and rolled his eyes in pleasure at the taste. + "Besides, I'd probably get to travel a lot. Private plane, champagne, + caviar, the works!" He linked his hands behind his head, stretched his + legs out, and smiled with self satisfaction. + + Greg probably would be good for corporate law, Megan mused. His + blond hair and trim body set off his elegant clothes to perfection. + Megan always felt slightly underdressed around him. A little + uncomfortable, too. He was just so elegant! + + "Well, you go ahead and be rich," Freddy drawled. "I still like + the old-fashioned concept of having lawyers around to help people." He + grinned. "Although I'm certainly not going to turn down any + high-paying cases." + + Megan couldn't help but smile at Freddy. She liked his drawl, + his barreling laugh, and even his crushing handshake. "I don't think + you'd have a problem collecting your fees," Megan teased. Freddy was + 6'5", a couple of hundred pounds, with thick unruly black hair. And + some people thought he looked even bigger. + + Freddy swatted at Megan playfully. "Unlike you, you mean," he + said. Megan was not known for her size. "So what's up with you, Meg? + Still planning on civil law?" he asked. + + Right then the waiter arrived with their food. Megan waited + until they were served, then replied, "Looks that way." She was dimly + aware of an argument at the other end of the table over who had eaten + the last breadstick. It sounded like Jason was taking the brunt of + the harassment. "My father would like me to be a judge some day," she + continued. + + "Your father, huh," Freddy said. "But what do you want?" Megan + thought back to the unfinished picture in her bedroom. She looked up + into Freddy's troubled eyes. "Actually," she said hesitantly, "I + think I might like to--" + + "Get a load of this!" Jason interrupted from the other end of the + table. "John here says he wants to take a creative writing class. He + wants to be a writer!" + + "I didn't say I wanted to be a writer," John said. "I just might + take a class, that's all." He brushed his hair from his eyes. "One + lousy little class!" + + Megan felt sorry for John. He was the quietest member of their + group. He didn't seem to fit in with their usual boisterousness, but + Freddy had dragged him along on the last couple of outings, so no one + felt like complaining. But on the other hand, he had really goofed + confiding in Jason. Jason was the type who stepped all over people's + feelings without ever noticing that he hurt them. + + "Sure, one class, and then you'll start getting ideas," Jason + said. "Next thing we know, it'll be bye-bye law school." He laughed + scornfully. "Don't you know how hard it is to make money as a writer? + You'd be crazy to settle for that!" + + Greg nodded his agreement. "He's right, John, it would be a bad + move. Trust me." He spooned another spoonful of soup into his mouth. + It was amazing how Greg always seemed to assume that his opinions were + the definitive word on everything. Generally, Megan was amused by his + attitude, but tonight she was merely angry. She twirled a gob of + spaghetti onto her fork and jabbed it angrily into her mouth, not + trusting herself to speak. + + Michele put a hand on John's shoulder. "Hey, we all have our + doubts about law school sometimes," she said. "It's hard and it takes + forever, but it's gonna be worth it. You'll see." More condescension, + Megan thought, shaking her head. Michele and Greg would make a + perfect match. + + Okay, she thought. So what. The others were all jerks. Freddy + would speak up, though. He was always fair. She remembered the time + he didn't speak to his best friend for a week because he had punched + out the kid who had stolen Freddy's bike. Freddy didn't like the kid + either, but a bloody nose was a pretty unfair treatment, he had + believed. + + Megan looked over at him, waiting for him to speak. The others + turned to look at Freddy also. Although Greg was the flashiest and + liked to think that he had the last word, it was Freddy that they + depended upon for the solid advice. + + Freddy finished chewing the last bite of his garlic bread. He + wiped some stray spaghetti sauce from his chin, carefully folded his + napkin on the table, then finally spoke. "I'm sorry, John, but I've + got to go along with the others on this." He pushed his seat back to + give his scrunched knees more room. "Writing's a fun hobby, but it's + just not practical to live off of." He looked at John thoughtfully. + "Look, my advice is to hold off on the class for a while, then take it + later if you have time. You don't want to get behind on graduation so + early on." + + John's hands tightened on his glass, his knuckles turning white + from the strain. Megan was entranced by the glimmer of the candles on + the glass as he twisted it back and forth in the light. Finally, he + looked up and nodded slowly. "Yeah, I guess it was a silly idea + anyway." He smiled weakly. Michele mercifully changed the subject. + + Megan stared back at Freddy. He pulled the replenished basket of + breadsticks toward himself, considered for a moment, then grabbed one + and ate on, unaware of Megan's disbelief. Greg nudged her, pointing + to the fork still clutched tightly in her fist. She set it down on + the plate, tines down, then pushed the plate away from herself. She + was no longer hungry. + + Freddy licked his fingers to get the last bit of garlic, then + turned to her. "So where were we, Megan?" he asked. His brow + furrowed in concentration. "Ahh, I know! You were going to tell me + what you were interested in." He looked at her expectantly, tapping + out a beat on his water glass with his class ring. Megan never + understood why he still wore it. + + She looked down the table. The others were off discussing + football. John stared morosely into his glass of Pepsi, rarely adding + a comment to the discussion. Music played softly in the background. + Megan watched and listened for a bit, then turned back to face Freddy. + She thought first of her unfinished picture, then of the Dali + painting. Always in the background, she thought. + + "Civil law, of course," she said aloud. + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Lois is simultaneously pursuing an M.S. degree in + Computer Science and a B.A. in English + (Literature).

This Archeon ship had hit the L-5 military base at New + Argent--hard. Slashing in with ultra high-energy pulse-beams and + laser-guided projectiles, they'd left the old orbital base in sorry + shape. It would have been a highly successful raid, except that their + timing was awful. Our ship had just left the same base not three + hours before their attack. We had stopped there to pick up a very + special group of experimental soldiers and bring them back to HQ for + further testing. We brought the Macbeth about and answered New + Argent's distress call as quickly as we could. + + Their ship was a little bigger but ours was a little faster. + After a harrowing three-day chase at hyperdrive velocities that + strained both ships to the limit, we caught up with them way out near + Heard's World where they stopped and turned to make a stand. What + followed was a classic, almost heroic struggle with high-speed thrusts + and feints as each captain tried to out-think and outmaneuver the + other. At last, our superior agility gave us the tiny opening we + needed. The crew cheered wildly as we put a HellHound missile into + their port side. But we had celebrated too soon. As we flashed past + them they struck back with two direct hits, pulse-beam charges that + breached the shields and put a jagged two-meter hole in our + hull--right near the bridge. It had been a hard- fought encounter + between nearly equal adversaries and the outcome was more-or-less a + draw with both ships sustaining heavy enough damage to make forced + landings. + + The alien ship went down at the same time as we did. They had + little choice, we had locked on to them with an attractor field and + pulled them with us as we began our descent. We released the field at + the last possible moment, hoping their ship would be destroyed by a + heavy impact with the planet. This last-ditch effort was well + conceived but it didn't work; we picked up their distress call within + a half- hour of the crash. Just our luck, some of them had survived + and they were right next door, probably within a few kilometers! + + Our ship was so badly damaged that only a few systems on board + were even partially usable. Life support and the emergency power + generator were okay but pulling the Archeon ship down had all but + ruined our main drive, and the navigation computers, the Hopkins + defense shield and the beam weapons were out. We had also lost our + Captain and three crewmen, leaving only three officers and five crew, + two of whom were pretty banged up. The platoon of highly trained, + fully equipped, experimental marines had made it through just fine. + + My name's Harris and I was the Food Procurement Specialist for + the Macbeth. That's "ship's cook" to those of you who might be + civilians. Now on a modern warship that doesn't amount to much + usually. Feeding the men is mostly a matter of programing a big + automated kitchen that synthesizes perfectly balanced (and very tasty) + meals from stockpiles of raw materials--big canisters of amino acid, + sugar and fatty acid stocks or whatever other kind of biomass we put + into it. But, that doesn't mean I can't cook! I had been well- + trained in the same time-honored cooking techniques that chefs have + used for centuries because every now and then, I cooked real food for + the officer's mess and for other special occasions. A big part of my + duties was to have consisted of keeping the marines supplied with the + right kind of nutrients in their diet. These guys had been + extensively modified surgically and had biomechanical and electronic + implants that were supposed to make them into some very nasty fighting + units. Because there were still a few bugs in the procedure, they + needed more things in their food than normal people, people like you + and me. Del said that their amino acid requirements were totally + different. For maximum efficiency they needed several D-form amino + acids that didn't occur in regular food and weren't produced in their + bodies. I'm not sure why, it had something to do with the interface + between their biochemical and electronic components. I would have + been reprogramming the food unit several times a day to supply the + right amounts of these supplements in their food. Normally, it + wouldn't have been a big problem. + + Normally. + + In that running fight out in space with the Archeon ship and the + bone-jarring forced landing that followed, our frightfully complex and + absolutely essential food synthesizing unit had been reduced to a + crumpled, burnt and useless chunk of fused metal and plastic. HQ said + three weeks, minimum, before we could hope for any kind of help to + arrive. Three weeks! No doubt about it, we were in deep Sardinian + sludge! Those twelve marines needed about 5000 Kcal per day apiece + just to stay awake! There wasn't much on the planet's surface that we + could use either. When it was working, the kitchen could make useful + food out of almost anything, including the miserable scrub brush that + grew sparsely on that desert world. But, without it and the special + supplements it supplied, my marines would be helpless in a few days + time! + + Within three hours of the crash we sent out a small damage + control party to survey the wreckage of our ship. Heard's World is + hot, almost unbearably so, but at least the air is breathable so they + didn't need suits. As a precaution, three of the experimental marines + went out with them as an armed guard. The enemy must have been + waiting for something like that because not five minutes passed before + they attacked. There were half-a-dozen of them on a small antigrav + sled, armed with portable weapons. With their augmented strength, + speed and agility, our three marines were way more than a match for + the six hapless Archeons. It was incredible! Those guys fought like + demons, leaping and dodging, spinning and weaving--all while firing + with deadly accuracy! The conflict ended abruptly when Marquardt, the + gunner's mate, dashed up to the front gun pod and cut their sled to + ribbons with a burst of 20 mm explosive projectile fire. The marines + had gotten three of them before the rest went scurrying away to + safety, over a dune. + + Full of confidence from our easy victory, we struck back. The + raid that we staged on them ended with five Archeon casualties, two + dead and three wounded, but without any real appreciable change in the + situation. Two rounds--slight advantage earth. The Archeons closed + up their ship and wouldn't come out after that. Meanwhile, my marines + were getting hungry and edgy. + + I made a sort of gruel out of some local plants and herbs that we + had analyzed as non-poisonous. I mixed them with some of the twenty + or so kilos of amino acid stock that had somehow survived the damage + to the food module. They ate it but they didn't like it. Worse, it + wasn't doing them much good either. "Jesus Christ, Harris! What the + hell is this slop?" said Fenster, a hulk of a marine who had been + slightly wounded in the raid on the Archeon ship. "Fighting men gotta + have real food! You can shove this bullshit!" + + I didn't get upset with them, they were just letting off some + steam. Those marines had a lot of energy, it was a consequence of the + modifications that they had undergone. You see, it wasn't just their + bodies that had been changed, their heads had been messed with too. A + lot. + + As a chief petty officer I had to share my quarters with one of + the junior officers, a tall, skinny, black kid named Delmont + Richardson. He was a xenobiologist, sort of the ship's "Archeon + expert" if there really was such a thing. Del's not a bad guy, but he + takes the scientific approach too far sometimes. It gives him some + very strange ideas. He asked me to come with him to examine the + bodies of the enemy soldiers that had been killed in their ill-fated + raid on our ship. I shrugged and went along; there weren't that many + able-bodied men about and he needed help. Besides, he was my friend. + + When we got there we found one of them still alive, although not + in very good shape. Del said that we were two of just a handful of + people who had actually seen a live Archeon up close. They were a lot + different than I had imagined. To tell the truth, I thought they were + kind of pretty. We called the Archeons "crabs" because they look a + lot like an oversized horseshoe crab. They have the same pointy tail, + the rounded shell and the multiple pairs of jointed legs. Their eyes + are violet and there are six of them, four right on the front of the + shell and two that are borne on short, delicate stalks. Below the + eyes are the intricate, ornate and very complex mouthparts. Just + behind the mouth are the manipulators, the first pair of legs which + have evolved to serve them much as our hands do for us. There's a + pleasing symmetry to the Archeon form, meaning the proportions are + right and all that, but there's real beauty in the patterns of + blue-green iridescence that shine in their carapaces--rich and + colorful when they're alive, but it fades quickly when they die. I + know, we watched the colors fade as the badly torn-up survivor finally + lost his battle for survival. + + Del said that the familiar shape was an incredible case of + something he called "convergent evolution". That means that even + though they look like the old-earth creature, they aren't really + related at all. They're the products of completely different + evolutions. I don't know, it makes sense to him. + + We brought the "survivor" and the remains of his two buddies back + to Del's little bio-lab which was one part of the ship that hadn't + been wrecked in some way or another. He came out three hours later + blinking his eyes and stretching to get the kinks out of his muscles. + Apparently that biological investigation stuff can be hard work. He + looked dog-tired! + + "What did you find out, Del?" I asked him. + + "Interesting anatomy," he said. "It's a basic arthropod + architecture much like the forms found on earth. They have a + chitinous exoskeleton, an open circulatory system and paired ventral + nerve chords. Where they differ dramatically is that three or four of + the front ganglia on each nerve chord are swollen and fused into a + huge masses of nerve tissue that probably serve them as the centers + for higher learning. At least I think so. If it's true, their brains + are actually larger for their body size than ours are!" When Del + starts to ramble like that, I just sort of let him go, even though I + don't understand a lot of what he's saying. It helps him to relax. I + had no trouble understanding what he said next, however. + + "I do have some good news for you though, Harris," he said. "I'm + done with them. I've put what I need to save in the freezer." + + "Great, Del," I said. "Ah...what does that mean to me?" + + "It means that the chemistry of those beasts is such that they + have all of the D-amino acids you could possibly need to feed your + marines." + + You see what I mean about strange ideas? + + "Jesus, Del," I asked incredulously. "You don't mean that I + should cook dead crab and serve it to those marines do you? You + should've heard them complaining about the food before!" + + "It sounds kind of gruesome, I know," he shrugged. "But there + are reports that they eat humans when they get the chance so that + shouldn't be a problem. Besides, I don't see any other solution to + this food thing. I checked them over extensively, they should be + perfectly safe to eat. As for the marines, they might bellyache some + but they'll follow orders. Let's talk to Gibbs." + + The ship's acting commander, Lieutenant Theodore Gibbs, felt the + same when we asked him about it, although he thought about it for a + while before he made up his mind. "It seems a bit barbaric, I agree," + he said. "But we really don't have much choice do we? I'll give the + order." + + That night I built a small fire out in the sand a short distance + from the ship. In a pot fashioned out of a big bearing cup that I'd + scrounged from engineering, I cooked up a generous portion of "crab + stew" for my marines to eat. An Archeon is a little bigger than a + man, so there was no shortage of the rich, white meat. I can still + picture that makeshift pot bubbling and frothing over a smoldering + scrub brush fire with a bunch of long, jointed crab legs sticking up + out of it. I used all my cooking skills and the meager stock of local + herbs in an effort to make the stuff palatable. I won't repeat the + things that the marines were saying as they watched me cook. To + demonstrate to them that it was safe, I ate some first. + + You won't like the way this sounds, but that stew was good; + damned good! Our enemy cooked up into a meal fit for a gourmet! The + flavor was sort of like a cross between snow crab and lobster but it + was better than either one of them! Several of the men asked for + seconds. Best of all, they began to regain their strength. + + The biggest surprise awaited us the following morning when we + were contacted by the master of the Archeon ship. Unexpected good + news! He wanted to talk about some kind of cooperative agreement + between them and us that would enable our two small parties to + survive. We decided that they must have had enough of our marines and + wanted an end to the business. To our knowledge, it was the first + time that any kind of meaningful dialogue had ever been attempted with + a crab war party since mankind had first encountered them and the war + had started, over eighteen months before. + + We were understandably a little nervous. + + We met them out in a wide-open area that was about eqi- distant + from both ships. From that spot we could see both ships; with its + tail in the air and the fuselage bent and crumpled, theirs didn't look + any better than ours did! Each group was represented by six + individuals. Richardson and I were included in the delegation because + he was what passed for the local crab expert and I was one of the few + men left who were well enough to make the trip. They gave me the job + of holding the Kravitz universal translator; across the way I could + see a crab counterpart holding a similar device. Their leader was + easy to pick out, he was a little bigger than the others and the + blue-green of his shell had purple highlights in it. He was also the + first to speak. This was a series of staccato clicks and chirps made + with his mouthparts that was followed shortly by the synthesized voice + of the translator. + + "Greetings are given to the valiant earth-born warriors. We come + in peace." He did a sort of bow. Gibbs hesitated a second and bowed + in return. + + "We are honored," Gibbs replied. "The Archeon soldiers also + fight gallantly. I complement them. We come with peaceful intent + also. You spoke of cooperation. We feel it would be advantageous to + both of our races." + + There was another series of chirps and clicks. + + "We the descendants of the great Archeon hive-den were greatly + touched by your act of supreme respect for our fallen comrades," + continued the leader. + + "We have nothing but supreme respect for all Archeons," said + Gibbs, "But I must apologize. I'm not sure I know what you're talking + about." + + "I refer to the consumption of the flesh of our hive- mates. + Your rites were observed last evening by a large group of our + warriors, including myself. Because of this most reverent act, we + feel that we can safely extend to you an offer for peace." + + "I..um..ah..on behalf of the Federation, I accept your offer!" + said Gibbs. He was caught off-guard but wasn't about to let the + opportunity slip away. + + The crab leader continued. + + "One of the major obstacles to peace between our races has been a + total lack of understanding of each other's customs. By your most + gracious act, your small party has made enormous strides towards a + peaceful relationship with our race in the future." + + We were absolutely blown away! Over the next two weeks, we were + able to maintain a genuine, if rather uneasy, peace. Of course, we + didn't allow our marines to have any contact with the aliens at all. + By their very nature, they were difficult to reason with, even for + their fellow humans! Most of the actual dialogue and contact was + undertaken by Del Richardson and me. Yes, me. The crabs had insisted + on it. + + Our usual contact was a smaller (younger?) Archeon named + Clack-whirr-snap-click-click who seemed to actually enjoy our company. + We got to know "Click" well enough to ask some pointed questions. + Yes, they thought our marines were demon fighters. No, they weren't + afraid of them, just respectful of their abilities. On that fateful + night, a war party consisting of all of their remaining able-bodied + soldiers (about thirty, I think) had been poised for an all-out attack + when they saw me and the marines at our little cookout and realized + what we were doing. They had immediately called off the attack. + + He told us that the Archeons always had a ritual for their dead + which included the consumption of at least a portion of the dead + comrade's flesh. A little more talk and some further investigation + revealed why. + + The crabs have a sort of racial memory. Each member of the race + inherits these memories from both parents at conception. All of the + experiences of each individual are somehow added to this racial memory + and can be passed on to a living member of the race, usually by eating + a small portion of the flesh. The experiences of the individual are + thus passed on to whichever of his mates eats a part of him. To pass + away uneaten, and therefore without the retention of his memories by + at least some other member of the race is the worst thing that can + happen to a crab! They had observed our stew-making party and had, + luckily for us, assumed that we were paying homage to their dead, thus + the overtures for peace from their leader the next day. What an + incredible break! + + The one who does the actual cooking is usually the hive's + religious leader, a greatly honored position. I guess that's why they + wanted me as a contact and why all of them, including the ship's + leader, treated me with so much respect! + + Del took a closer look at some of the crab remains that he'd put + in the freezer that night. It didn't take him long to find what he + was looking for. Each and every cell in the creature's bodies + contained a number of large pieces of extrachromosomal DNA. He called + them "plasmids". These structures were the agents by which both the + racial and individual memories were passed on. These particular + plasmids are extraordinarily heat stable so they survive being cooked + and they are also evolved to reach and enter the recipient's cells by + way of the gut. Once inside a cell they replicate and spread, + replicate and spread, much like a virus, until every cell in the body + contains them. A perfectly evolved method for passing on + information--by eating it! + + On a hunch he took blood samples from me and some of the marines + who had eaten the stew and checked us for presence of the same + plasmids. To my utter shock and amazement, he found them in our cells + as well! Our biochemistries are similar enough to the Archeons that + "infection" can occur. + + Fortunately, I don't have the necessary enzyme systems for my + body to translate or "decode" the Archeon plasmids, so I can't get at + any of the memories, thank God! No, Del says that they'll probably + just remain in my system, not doing much of anything, but not hurting + anything either, just sitting there. + + You would think that a race with such a well-evolved means of + passing on information would be very wise indeed. In many ways and + about many things, they are. Unfortunately, they'd had a run-in with + a couple of mammalian races early in their history. These had been + faithfully recorded in their racial memories and, as a result, every + Archeon had a sort of built-in paranoia against warm-blooded + fur-bearing creatures. Creatures like us. In their minds anything + but war with us was unthinkable when they had first encountered men. + + All that is changed now. Diplomats of both races, armed with a + bit more knowledge about each other--mostly because of the chance + events on Heard's World--were able to hammer out a peaceful agreement + for coexistence. Within two months, the war had ended. A truly + significant step forward for man and crab! + + There was a part of the treaty that isn't well publicized, + however. Like I said, the crabs hate to lose the life experiences of + even a single one of their individuals. So the authorities are + keeping a watchful eye on your's truly. I'll be allowed to live out + my normal life just fine but as soon as I began to show signs of + fading they're shipping me off to Archea-hive, the Archeon home + planet. I house the memories of three of their fallen mates. Their + solution to this problem is simple: I'll attend a gathering of the + families of the deceased--as the main course on the menu! A chance + for me to serve mankind by being "served" myself! In a way I suppose + it's a kind of honor so I'm not complaining. I just wish they could + do something about the awful dreams I've been having lately... + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Phil is a research specialist in Plant Pathology at + NDSU in Fargo, North Dakota.

He said it wasn't a good idea. Now + it's too late and I'm not sure how I feel. The time doesn't help any + and since a human brain takes up only about a thousand cubic + centimeters, you realize how small that volume is, and how little it + can possibly contain, and you simply don't have anything left inside + to think about. I never liked how it started, and I'm not sure if I + like how it finished, but a story is a story. + + I am a murderer. I don't like being a murderer, and to be + totally honest, I never really intended to kill. I suppose, in all + fairness, nothing could be more irrelevant at this point. I just + thought I'd throw it in to try and convince myself that I used to be + an educated, thinking creature at one time, and try not to let + society, and I suppose that includes myself, stamp me as a murderer. + I'm not the unshaven, wobbly-eyed drunk that killed for money or the + psychotic, crazed youth who killed for sport. I'd like to say that I + was framed, but I can't think of anyone who could have framed me + except God. I got into an argument at a party. One of my friend's + wife's friend's deals. I went alone. I didn't even know the guy. I + disagreed with him about disagreeing with me. I was drunk and raving + about nuclear weapons. Next thing I know, push comes to shove, and I + suddenly see him on the floor with blood pouring out of his eyes and a + long, furrowed welt on the side of his head deep enough to hold water. + I look down and see a fireplace poker in my right hand. I passed out. + I won't dwell on that too much. + + Needless to say, after a lengthy trial I got fifty to seventy. I + never even knew what hit me. Now, if there's one thing I got out of + this, it's the dim realization of how easy prison is. No shit. You + have so many people screaming about mistreatment and abuse in prisons, + and the government dumps out quadrillions of bucks to fix the places + up, and to try and give the inmates more opportunity for growth and + creative development, Lord help us all, and it's really a swell place + now. I got to read a lot, and think, and do some writing, and they + showed us movies all the time, and during the first two years, I began + to wonder if it was supposed to be torture at all. + + I was the bright guy. I could help people with financial + problems, and relationships with the outsiders, and I was setting up + huge CD accounts for the long term inmates whom after they got out in + fifty years would discover their ten thousand dollars had blossomed + into half a million. Needless to say, I was pretty popular. Davidson + was big on keeping track of shit on the outside. He had newspapers + and current magazines spread out in his cell as though he was + housebreaking a dog. He came to me because he considered me his + intellectual equal. We had been designated the smart ones. He wanted + my opinion. He also wanted me to go first. + + He told me about the new sentencing system that the NSC was + trying to put into effect. He told me about the NASA mergers and the + grant funds and about how it was just in the beginning stages, and the + more he talked, the more I began to feel like Alex in A Clockwork + Orange, finding out about the new treatment that gets him out of + prison quick, provided he becomes brainwashed. That, I think, was + when the first light pangs of fear kicked in. But Davidson was + constant, and he really thought I should talk to the warden. When I + asked him why, he told me about a recent vote in the Senate he had + uncovered, a vote attached to some other goofy bill that wouldn't show + up in Newsweek, but would in the Congressional Record, for anybody + bored or boring enough to sift through its all-text pages. Turns out + the Senate vote was that the selection for the test orbital was to be + pulled from Gladstone Maximum Security, which was the place both + Davidson and I were staying at the time, courtesy of the United States + judicial branch. That's why he was so interested in it. I + reluctantly agreed, and went to see the warden the next day. + + He was a little stunned, and wanted to know where I came across + my information, and again I felt like I had just fallen onto the set + of A Clockwork Orange. I just beat the bush for a bit, and then he + settled back into his naugahyde chair and decided to tell me about it. + The NSC and NASA were working together to develop what they called the + orbiting cell. The idea was to lock a hardened criminal in a tiny + clear plastic bubble, with food and air and shit, and fire him into + orbit. The idea was that he could see out, and it would feel as + though there was nothing between him and space. This plus the raw + boredom, the soundproofing, and just the goddamn loneliness were + supposed to be really good rehabilitation methods. I wondered why and + how. I guess it had something to do with the philosophy behind + solitary confinement. I had been in solitary several times, and I + didn't really mind it. It was relaxing. It seemed kinda fun to me, + and that's what I told the warden. He smirked and said that he + wouldn't want to try it. He said that studies had proven the orbiting + cell was sheer torture, and some other studies said it could cause + insanity or even be lethal. That's why they wanted to try it out. + + I'm not sure why I did it. Sometimes I dream that I did it just + to help the scientific research aspect of it, that I did it so the + people who designed it could know more about it, but I know that's not + true. I suppose it was just the short duration of it. They said that + if I stayed in the bubble for one month, that the rest of my sentence + would be remitted and I would be a free man. In the words of Fibber + McGee, it seemed like a good idea at the time. To make the dull part + brief, I was taken to a NASA training center, specially built for the + Orb. That was what they called it, the "Orb". They had built only + one of them so far, and they let me see it before I began my + debriefing. Apparently, it went up with the automated shuttles. It + was sealed, and placed in a huge apparatus in the shuttle bay which + would put it into orbit and could also retrieve it. Then the shuttle + would land. The whole thing was automatic, and the plan was for + nobody to be on board except me, as though they thought I might + actually try to hijack a space shuttle. + + They showed me the Orb. It was a clear plexiglass sphere about + four feet across. There wasn't any hatch. They would have to cut the + top off of it to let me in, then they would seal it shut again with + some kind of torch. It didn't leave any seams. It was incredible. A + clear, plastic bubble just floating in space. The only thing that + marred it was this black box on the outside. It was about a foot on + all sides, and it was attached to the outside of the bubble like a + parasite. The box contained a special algae. I could tell the goofy + scientist who was there just loved to brag about it. They developed a + new strain just for this project. They built their own life form, how + about that. I guess it was like being God. + + The box had this algae in it, and a self-contained light source + that would let it grow. Three holes connected it with the Orb. One + of the holes was for the air. Through it, the algae used my carbon + dioxide and made water and oxygen. Just enough for one man. The + second hole was for processing urine and feces. It wasn't fancy, and + it wasn't comfortable, but it worked. Through the third hole, I could + sip some water mixed with algae. That was my food. I was supposed to + eat this plant. No shit. They told me it was tasteless and very + nourishing and the tube only let a certain amount go through. Enough + to support one man indefinitely. It was a little ecosystem, a + controlled one. It would let me live, but it would not let me enjoy + it. + + It was around now that I began to get a little scared. I had no + idea what it would be like, and I spent most of my four-day training + period worrying. Again, to make the boring part short, they sealed me + up, naked, in my little Orb, and set me up for launching. It was + pretty uneventful, since I spent the entire launch in the blackness of + the cargo bay. I just sat and waited. And enjoyed the lack of + gravity. + + The terror started when the hatch opened. There was some kind of + goop in the plexiglass that would prevent nasty rays from burning up + my skin, but it didn't seem to change the fact that the earth was + agonizingly bright. I had to shield my eyes for about seven minutes, + while the launcher shoved me out into orbit. Squinting, I looked out + and saw the engines fire, and the shuttle went out ahead of me. I was + in orbit. I was alone. + + At first, I was impressed by the bright sun, which was tolerable + now, as was the earth. I studied the motions and the shapes. I + watched the shadows of the earth bounce off the moon, and I stared at + the motions of cloud patterns and land shapes with hypnotic intensity. + But after a few hours, you just plain run out of stuff to see. I got + bored with earth and started studying some other planets and stars. + Needless to say, I got bored with them fairly quickly as well. I'd + say about five hours had passed since my launch, and already I could + think of nothing to do. + + The minutes, which used to pass by like seconds, now seemed to + drag into endless days. I began to slowly lose my sense of time. I + ate as much of the algae as it would let me, and I had a good shit, + but then what else is there to do? I started to wonder if eating and + shitting would become priceless luxuries now that they were the only + real physical activities I could do. I wondered how long it would be + until I could get more food. The horrible idea that the food + distributor might be broken flashed across my mind. I had nothing to + do but think. + + I started talking to myself for a while. I began to just talk + and talk about anything that came to mind. All of the background + voices in my brain which are cut off somewhere before they get to my + mouth just blurted themselves out. After a while, I ran out of + thoughts and began to recite poetry. I'm not sure why. Little + fragments of stories and plays and shit I was supposed to have + forgotten after I graduated from college. Shards of Shakespeare and + Dante. Verses of Homer and Frost. I babbled nonsensically for hours + until I realized I wasn't even listening to myself. I realized that I + had just been staring out of the side of the Orb the entire time, and + got hold of my brain. I decided talking to myself accomplished very + little and decided not to do it again as I wiped a river of saliva off + of my chin and neck. My breathing slowed down. + + I began to spend entire days with my eyes closed. It was easier + to think if you didn't have to look at the nothingness above your head + and the earth, a two hundred kilometer drop below your feet. I was + comfortable with the blackness behind my eyelids, and that was what I + stared at for the next week. Things began to play themselves out in + swirling images, trying to replace the black, to cut into it like + fireworks. I started to play movies in my head. Every fragment I + could remember, it was flashed onto the silver screen behind my + eyelids, larger than life. The sounds were totally clear, and the + images flowed easily. I replayed Bogart and Jimmy Stewart. I + replayed Hoffman, Redford, and Malcolm McDowell. Sean Connery. + Michael Caine. Endless Woody Allen lines flashed across my mind with + unbelievable ferocity, and I found myself laughing out loud more than + once, half from comedy, half from shock. The second half of the week + was filled with songs. Thousands of them, played back across my ears + like some flawless recording system. Every move. Every note. + Classical, rock, and all the Jazz I could remember. But, perhaps for + the same reason why we forget a good tune in daily life, I became + bored hearing Beethoven's Ninth six million times, and started + grabbing at fragments of songs I had only heard once ore twice, + mentally scrambling to catch hold of one or two notes that could lead + to a ladder of music. It was frustrating, and I found myself crying + continuously without even being aware of it. + + I started to think about what was beyond the glass. The vast, + black emptiness which I could see, yet couldn't see. It was black + because there was no light, but I could still see it, even with this + lack. I could see the lack of light. The blackness. It was + literally nothing. There was nothing out there. The fear turned into + claustrophobia over the next two days. I found myself blinking too + often. I found myself unable to focus on sound. I found myself + tapping the glass for no apparent reason with the tip of my finger, + very lightly, just tapping, and unconsciously intensifying it into a + light slap and I remember sweating madly as the power of my taps + increased until I was pounding on the glass with the full force of my + fist and not even being aware of it. I would scream at the top of my + lungs for minutes straight with my fist pounding against the side of + the plexiglass with booming rhythm. I started to see things in the + black emptiness of space. My mind started to play horrible tricks on + me. I began getting paranoid. I kept jerking around, glancing over + my shoulder thinking that something was in the bubble with me. + Sometimes I would push myself away from one side of the bubble where I + thought that something was outside trying to get in, then I'd think + that the same thing was happening on the other side, and whirl around + again, screaming with fear, yet unable to hear myself, lashing my + fists and legs out into the clear, cold solidity of the Orb. + + That was how I cut myself the first time. Pow! Into the side of + the glass. Stinging pain in my knuckles. The red spot on the wall. + I found myself staring at that red spot for hours on end afterwards + for lack of better things to do. The blood tricked upwards from my + hand and began to separate into little globs that bobbled in the air + like tiny acrobats. I watched the blood flow into the zero-g of the + Orb, a thin stream of red responding to it's own laws of physics. I + jammed the knuckle into my mouth and kept it there for about an hour, + staring at the red spot on the side of the Orb with shaking eyes and + terrified sweat. I kept it there until the bleeding stopped. Then I + passed out. + + Sleep was rare and fragmented. My body's timetable had been + turned inside- out, and it seemed as though I was never totally sure + if I had gotten too much sleep, or not enough. My sleep was liberally + coated with nightmares too horrifying to mention. Visions of evil I + hadn't had nightmares about since I was a kid came back, as if to + haunt me, as if to say "You thought you were scared of your closet! + Ha! Whaddya think of this?!" I think that was when my mind started to + go. I think I just plain ran out of stuff to think about. I spent a + day mowing lawns. Mentally mowing lawns which I had plotted out in + size and shape beforehand, noting every tree, every tall weed, and + when I came to them, mower buzzing furiously, sometimes I would have + it choke or run out of gas, and I would mentally imagine every second + of my angered, sweaty trip to the garage to get a gas can or a wrench. + I spent a week building houses. Plotting out the land, surveying it, + pouring in the cement foundations. I imagined every insignificant + motion, every board, every nail, every stroke of the hammer. It was + all flawless. I once spent five minutes on the same set of shingles. + I built seven houses in all. Very big ones, too. But as I said + before, you just run out of stuff to think about. You can feel your + mind just slowing down, devoid of not just active thought, but + creative energy too, and you run out of stuff to do. It's difficult + to describe, I know, and a part of me hopes that none of you ever find + out exactly what it's like. I started to think of HAL in 2001, and + about his dying words: "My mind is going. My mind is going, Dave. I + can feel it." I spent the next two days repeating his lines in my + head: "My mind is going. I can feel it." Over and over again, for + forty-eight hours: "I can feel it." I no longer knew where the lines + were from: "My mind is going. I can feel it." I no longer had the + urge to cry, or to sleep, or to think, or even to move. My joints + began to stiffen up: "My mind is going." + + I'm not sure how long I remained in that trance, but I do know I + came out of it. It was something on the outskirts of my vision, + something almost subliminal that made me realize that I should have + been paying more attention to the planet. I remember suddenly being + able to think again, and I remember my first thought being pain. Pain + in my knees and back. I hadn't shifted my position in God knows how + long. Weeks? The pain subsided quickly, and I whirled myself around + to face the planet Earth. The first thing I noticed that was odd was + all of the flashes. All over the surface of the planet, bright + flashes would erupt, then spread slowly over areas the size of Brazil + as their glare reduced from a pinpoint flash to a dull smoky glow. + Then I saw the source of the flashes. I was not the only thing in + orbit. Emerging from strategic points on every single land mass, + there were tiny disruptions in the atmosphere which propelled + themselves in smooth, flawless arcs, leaving trails of smoke behind + them, and touched the surface again to create other pinpoint + explosions. It was then that I knew. I knew what was happening. + + The sizes of the warheads were staggering, six thousand megatons + at least. I watched slowly as the United States civilization was + wiped clean off the surface of the globe, as if by God himself. I + watched retaliatory strikes do the same to almost every corner of + every continent, and it was then that I knew that the remaining + population would be lucky to be a number in the millions. + + I glanced back to the United States. There are only three + shuttle launch stations, and all of them were practically in the + center of some detonation radius. I am almost certain the Orb design + station is now rubble, and I am starting to think that nobody even + remembers my name. + + The temperature in here is seventy-two degrees Fahrenheit, but I + still feel very, very cold. + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Garry is a Broadcasting and Film major attending + the University of Iowa.

Phil got up early and worked on three more + lawns that day but his heart wasn't in his work. He kept remembering + the pictures he had seen. He'd look at a bed of flowers and wonder + how they would look in a picture taken by the new camera. He'd see a + bird in flight and wonder the same thing. Sunday finally ended. + + On Monday morning Phil awoke early, went over to Mr. Harris's + house to mow his lawn and when he had completed his work there took + his bike, trailer and all, to the schoolyard. He went into the all + too familiar building and to the physics lab where he hoped Mr. Riley + would be found. + + Stephen Riley was there trying to get across the coefficient of + friction to a group of three students. Phil poked his head into the + classroom and made a quick motion with one hand indicating the + laboratory. Mr. Riley nodded that he understood and continued with + his lecture. This was a signal that they had used many times in the + past. The schools darkroom was located just off of the physics + laboratory and Phil needed permission to use it. As photography + editor he actually didn't need permission, but it was school policy + that someone had to know whenever anyone was using the darkroom. This + policy came about after he had lost track of time last year while + working in the darkroom and was locked in the laboratory overnight. + + The principle wasn't too upset over the whole episode but his mom + had been hysterical! No one had known where he was until the janitor + had let him out of the locked physics lab the following morning. By + that time the police were looking for him and his mother was certain + that he had been kidnapped. He was grounded for two weeks for that! + It was Mr. Riley that had suggested this notification scheme and it + satisfied all concerned. If Phil was going to be working late in the + darkroom Mr. Riley would let the night janitor know. Before he + locked up, the janitor would stop by the lab and tell Phil it was time + to go. It worked well for everyone. + + Phil had been waiting in the laboratory for about half an hour + when Mr. Riley came in. "I thought you were going to be working in + the darkroom," Mr. Riley said as he saw Phil sitting at one of the + laboratory benches. + + "No, actually I wanted to talk to you," Phil told him. Mr. + Riley had taught Phil everything about photography that he now knew. + Darkroom technique and safety, developing, printing, cropping, air + brushing and everything else he had learned from Mr. Riley. + + "Well, I'm done for the day," Mr. Riley said sighing, "I hope + those kids pick this stuff up this time. They won't graduate without + it." He then added, "I just hate to see a kid not graduate because of + what could be my failure to get something across to them. Now, what + do you want to talk about?" + + Phil again explained the new camera and the pictures to Mr. + Riley. He had told him that he had practically made up his mind and + that he had the money with him right now. After he left the school he + was planning to head to the camera shop. Mr. Riley urged caution. + + "I know you're excited about the camera but I've never heard of + that make, though the name does sound familiar for some reason. Nor + have I ever heard of a camera capable of taking pictures of the type + you describe. I'd wait a few days before making the purchase. + Something that sounds too good to be true usually is." + + Phil thought to himself, "First my father and now Mr. Riley. + They both don't want me to buy the camera. Hell, they haven't even + seen it or those pictures!" + + Aloud he said, "Thanks Mr. Riley. I'll think about it." + + Mr. Riley replied, "You do that Phil. I'll tell you what, I'll + check into the literature I have and see what I can find out. The + name is familiar but I don't know why. Stop back in a couple of days + and I'll let you know what I find out." + + As Phil was leaving the lab he said to Mr. Riley, "Thanks again. + I'll stop back in a couple of days." He left the school to where he + had parked his bike and trailer. On the way out of the school + building he had decided that he couldn't wait to own that camera. He + was going to go back to the shop and purchase it today. + + He headed downtown to the camera shop, parked his bike so that + the trailer wouldn't interfere with anyone walking by and went inside + the shop. The bells attached to the door announced his entry again as + he opened then closed the door. The heat inside the shop was as bad + as it had been two days previous. Phil was surprised at this since + the weather had cooled off Saturday night and it was no nowhere near + as warm as it had been on Saturday afternoon. + + The storekeeper came though the doorway leading to the back and + said cheerfully, "Good Morning young man. Back I see. Have you + decided on purchasing the camera?" All the time he was smiling that + disconcerting smile. + + Phil was again uneasy as he said, "Yes I have." He then quickly + asked, "Can the camera be returned if it isn't all you claim it is?" + + "Oh, by all means," assured the storekeeper. "If this camera + doesn't give you pictures just as good as these," he indicated the + pictures still lying on the counter top, "you bring it right back. + I'll refund every penny, no questions asked." + + "You've got a deal!" said Phil excitedly. He reached into his + pocket and pulled out the $200.00 he had brought along with an + additional amount sufficient to cover the sales tax. + + "Oh, this is unnecessary," said the storekeeper after having + counted the money Phil had handed to him. He handed Phil the amount + Phil had given him to cover the sales tax and said, "My price was + $200.00 even. Put the remainder in your pocket to purchase film." He + was smiling as he counted the money as though enjoying a private joke. + + Phil was surprised that he didn't have to pay sales tax. You + paid sales tax on almost everything in New York! He didn't argue + further however. He put the money back in his pocket and waited. + + "Ah, your camera." said the storekeeper apologetically. "I had + almost forgotten." Reaching into the display case he removed a box + containing the Follis 138. He opened the box and checked the contents + and asked Phil to do the same. The box contained an instruction + booklet, the camera, and a black carrying case. "Here you go. Enjoy + your pictures," he said as he slid the box and it's contents across + the counter to Phil. + + Phil excitedly closed the box and said, "Oh, I will!" and quickly + left the store. If Phil had turned around he might have been + disturbed to see the wicked grin on the storekeepers face. + + Carefully maneuvering his bike and trailer another three blocks, + Phil made his way to the ShutterBug. He walked inside, carrying his + purchase, and made his way to the display counter at the back of the + store. The ShutterBug, specializing in photography equipment and + supplies, displayed photographs on every wall. On this side, where + Phil was walking, was a winter theme. A skier was in mid-air, caught + in the instant he hurtled from the top of a large dune. Next to this + was a photo of three skiers, taken from above, making snake pattern + traces as they skied down a mountainside. + + "Wait until they see my photographs," Phil thought to himself. + He patted the box he was carrying. "It will put these to shame." + + He made his way to back and set his purchase on the counter. He + looked at the man behind the counter and said, "Mr. Jenson, I'd like + a roll of Kodacolor 135-24, ASA 100, and a roll of Tri-X Pan film, ASA + 400, please." + + Mr. Jenson, the owner of the ShutterBug, was familiar with Phil + having seen him in the store many times before. He looked at the box + Phil had set on the counter top and asked, "Buy a camera Phil?" + + Phil said proudly, "Yes. My first one. Bought it just today at + the new camera store where the old arcade used to be. Need to get + some film though. The store hadn't stocked any yet." + + "New camera store huh?" said Mr. Jenson. "I'm not aware that + another had opened up. Well, the competition might do me good," he + said laughing. "What did you buy Phil?" he asked genuinely + interested, "Mind if I take a look?" + + "No, go ahead Mr. Jenson," Phil said, pleased to have an adult + take interest in something he himself enjoyed. Phil opened the box + the camera was setting in and slid it across the counter top to Mr. + Jenson. + + "A Follis ay?" asked Mr. Jenson. "Can't say I've ever heard of + it before." Looking at the camera more closely Mr. Jenson said, "Phil + this camera has no controls, no way to set the aperture or shutter + speed." + + "I know," replied Phil. "It doesn't need them. It's fully + automatic. All I have to do is load the camera and shoot the + picture." + + Placing the camera back into the box Mr. Jenson said, "Well good + luck with the camera son." He then added with a wink, "You know I'm a + little disappointed that you didn't buy a camera from me. Would have + given you a good deal too." + + Phil blushed a little with embarrassment and said, "Well I would + have bought the camera here, you know that, but I got such a good deal + and the pictures this camera takes are so incredible I had to buy it." + + "I understand," said Mr. Jenson as he retrieved a roll of black + and white and color film from the honeycomb display behind him. + "Here's the film you wanted, and here," Mr. Jenson selected another + roll of film from the display case and placed it with the other two. + "I assume you're testing the camera with both black and white and + color film. This roll is on the house. It's a 1600 ASA color film. + If you want to test a camera thoroughly test it through the extremes." + + "Thanks Mr. Jenson, I do appreciate that!" Phil said, honestly + surprised. "I'll be back in a day or two to have this film developed. + You still have same day processing don't you?" + + "Oh yes," said Mr. Jenson collecting the money for the two rolls + of film he had rung up on the register as they talked. "Bring in the + film before noon and you'll have your pictures ready before closing + time." + + Taking the bag containing the film and carefully picking up the + box containing his camera Phil made his way out of the store. He was + now ready to shoot pictures with his new camera. HIS new camera! + + Phil made his way carefully back home. The camera was placed in + the wire basket in front on the bike. Phil took his time, avoiding + most of the bumps and walking his bike around the worst of them. + + When he got home he called the customers on his list that he had + scheduled for the next two days and told them he would not be coming + on the regular day. He would catch them up during the weekend or the + following week. He then took his new purchase to his room, closed the + door, laid on the bed with the box next to him and began reading the + instructions. + + The instructions were understandably brief. They were more of a + sales pitch than instructions. After showing how to load the camera + the instructions touted the camera's ease of use and the quality of + pictures that could be expected. + + Phil removed the camera from the box, loaded the black and white + film according to the directions, then put the camera in the carrying + case provided. He put the other 2 rolls of film in the pouches + provided in the camera carrying case. He was ready to shoot his own + pictures! + + Phil grabbed his notebook from the desk and went downstairs to + find his mother. She was in the living room sewing the pockets in a + pair of his jeans. He had somehow managed to put a hole in them last + week and had told his mother about it. + + "Mom, I bought a camera. I'm going out to shoot some pictures. + I'll be home in time for supper," Phil told her. + + Phil's mother stopped her sewing and looked at Phil with a little + concern. She knew better than to say anything about how he spent his + money, he worked hard for it and it was his. She simply said, "I hope + you got a good deal. Please try to be home on time tonight." + + Phil smiled and said, "I did. And I will, promise." He walked + over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. He then hurried outside. + + Phil wasted no time. He selected subjects the he thought would + test the capabilities of the camera. He photographed dark subjects in + a bright background, colorful storefronts, canopies, and anything else + he thought might make an interesting photograph. After he took a + photograph he logged each subject in his notebook. He noted the time + the picture was taken and the subject. He had no idea of the shutter + speed or aperture settings so he left those notations blank. He even + made the entries of the pictures he shot of Cathy Danis! + + He had been so intent on taking pictures and making notes that he + hadn't noticed that he had made his way to her house. She was outside + dressed in a halter top and shorts and was raking the lawn. He felt a + little like a peeping Tom as he photographed her through the hedges + surrounding the schoolyard adjacent to her parent's house. If she had + seen him with his camera she would have immediately gone into the + house. His heart was pounding as he snapped shot after shot. "I + can't wait to see how good these look!" he thought to himself. + + It didn't take long for him to shoot the three rolls of film. He + made his way back home, placed his camera and notebook on his desk and + went back downstairs. It was only 3:00 pm and he wanted to get the + film to Mr. Jenson before 5:00 pm, closing time. + + He couldn't find his mom so he left her a note and placed it on + the kitchen table. He took his bike out of the garage and made his + way to the ShutterBug to turn the film in for processing. He arrived + well before closing and went to the back of the store with the three + rolls of film. + + "Back so soon?" said Mr. Jenson surprised. "I would have + thought it would have taken you another ten minutes to shoot three + rolls of film!" he said jokingly. + + Phil laughed too and said, "Well I am a little anxious to see how + these turn out. Will they be ready tomorrow?" + + Mr. Jenson looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Tell you + what Phil. I'll develop the negatives tonight and print the pictures + tomorrow. They'll be ready about noon. How's that?" + + "Oh, that would be great Mr. Jenson! Thanks!" + + Phil went home and for the second time in three days hardly paid + attention to supper. He was thinking about how great the pictures + were going to be, how clear the images were going to look, and yes, + how Cathy was going to look raking her lawn. + + The hours crept by and Phil hardly slept. The next day was no + better. Noon seemed to take an eternity to arrive. Shortly before + noon Phil headed out to pick up his pictures. He arrived at the + ShutterBug just at noon and went to see Mr. Jenson. + + "Are the pictures ready Mr. Jenson?" Phil asked excitedly. + + "Yes they are Phil. Came out of the printer just a little while + ago," he said, indicating a complicated looking piece of equipment + further back in the store. "I put them into their packages a few + minutes ago. I purposely didn't look at them as they were coming out + of the machine. Care to share them with me?" he asked. + + Phil thought of the pictures of Cathy. Not that they were + anything to be ashamed of, he just didn't want anyone to know he liked + her. "Uh," Phil began, "I'd rather not if you don't mind. Not this + time." + + Mr. Jenson smiled and said, "I understand. Your first pictures + and you want to look at them yourself first. Don't blame you. I did + the same thing with my first camera too!" He rang up the sale and + placed the three envelopes of pictures into a yellow plastic bag with + the ShutterBug's logo on the side. He handed this to Phil and said, + "Hope they turned out alright." + + Phil was relieved at not having to explain any further and said, + "Thanks again Mr. Jenson. I'll stop back and show you how they + turned out." Mr Jenson smiled at that, and Phil quickly made his way + out the door. + + He raced home and went quickly inside. His mother was on the + phone and he heard her say, "Oh, wait a minute he just came home. + "Phil," she called to him, "it's Mr. Riley from school. He wants to + talk to you." + + Surprised, Phil went into the living room and picked up the + telephone receiver from the table where his mother had placed it. + "Hello Mr. Riley," Phil said. "What can I do for you?" + + "Phil," he heard Mr. Riley begin, "I wanted to let you know what + I found out about your camera." Mr. Riley continued as Phil took the + packages of pictures out of the bag and opened one. + + "The name seemed familiar to me but I couldn't place it," Mr. + Riley continued. "I looked in the literature I have here and couldn't + find any reference to the Follis 138. After looking through + everything I had, I gave up and was going to call you to let you know. + Then this morning I was in the teachers lounge having a cup of coffee + when Mrs. Landry, the biology teacher, came in and sat down next to + me. She looked at the piece of paper I had written the name of your + camera on and began to laugh." diff --git a/textfiles.com/magazines/ATHENE/ath1n3 b/textfiles.com/magazines/ATHENE/ath1n3 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..efc58321 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/magazines/ATHENE/ath1n3 @@ -0,0 +1,1684 @@ + + + ** ************ + *** *********** **** **** ********* *** **** *********** + **** ** *** ** *** *** *** ** *** *** **** ** + ***** *** *** *** *** **** *** **** + ****** *** ******** ****** ******** **** + *** *** *** *** *** *** *** **** ******* + *** *** *** *** *** *** ** *** *** **** + ********* ***** **** **** ********* **** *** **** + *** *** **** ** + *** *** ------------------- **** *** + ****** ***** The Online Magazine *********** + ****** ***** of Amateur Creative Writing ************ + --------------------------- + + ====================================================================== + November 1989 Circulation: 431 Volume I, Issue 3 + ====================================================================== + + + Contents + + Etc... ..................................................

I normally try to get the magazine out + during the first weekend of the month, but school and work forced me + to delay it by a week this time. I'm confidant that December's issue + will be on time, even though it is only a couple weeks away. + + Since the last issue, I polled the readers of the plain text + edition of Athene for their opinion of the magazine's appearance. + From that response, that version of Athene will no longer have + justified paragraphs. It makes it easier to read on a display + terminal, and it also makes it easier on those people who reformat + Athene for their own printers. Thanks to everyone who responded! + + Getting feedback from the readers is a great experience, and I + encourage you to contact me if you have coments relating to any aspect + of Athene. I'd like to make this magazine as responsive to *your* + needs as possible. In fact, I'm looking for a new logo, and I am open + to suggestions from the readers. + + Here we are in issue three, and yet two of this month's stories + were submitted back before issue one! In fact, "Final Memories" and + "Fundamentally Switzerland" were the first two stories Athene ever + received. I want to thank Keith and Barbara for their great stories + and patience. + + We also have an interesting story from the driving force behind + Quanta, Dan Appelquist. "Winds" has a unique narrative style that + forces us to consider how we would react in extremem circumstances. + "I considered first person but it wasn't powerful enough," Dan says. + "The reader could still say ''I'd never do anything like that.'' With + the second person narration style, the narrator is telling *you* that + *you're* doing these things and that way you're forced to think about + it more, and doubt whether you couldn't be like that too." + + Also, after last month's excellent story "Solitaire," Garry Frank + gives us yet another good one with "Hampton Cafe." + + With these stories, I think that this issue was well worth the + wait.

Vaglienti + CCASTKV@GITNVE2.GATECH.EDU + ====================================================================== + + I am tired and I hurt. What's the saying? Mother come take me + home? Strange that I should die now when I am just coming to terms + with what I am. Still, I do not think I would mind dying if only it + didn't hurt so much. + + * * * + + Overhead I can feel the moon calling to me as I stretch my stiff + limbs. I did not sleep well last night. The hunger seemed to gnaw at + my bones and kept me from having a proper rest. I must do something + to satisfy my curse but not yet, not yet. + + I finger my crucifix ruefully. He who visited this damnation on + me was destroyed by merely being in the same room as one but it seems + to have no power over me. In truth I obtained this one in the hopes + that it would kill me but such was not my fate. Perhaps it is because + I have never been what mortals believe. I feel the beginnings of + despair and know I must seek the night and find release. + + I let change sweep over me and when it is done I bound up and out + through the basement window. At the sight of the moon a keen howl + wells up in my throat but I hold it back. This is neither the place + nor the time. + + It is but a short run to where my love lies buried, murdered by + the foul creature that took me. Ah my love, you were the fortunate + one. Surely death can not be worse than what I must endure but endure + it I must. Though I have tried to take what little there is of my + life, it resists most hardily. Neither sunlight nor holy signs nor + running water seem capable of destroying me and I cannot bring myself + to employ more drastic measures. Surely this is Hell, to abhor one's + self but not be able to do anything about it. Now my love I must + leave. The hunger grows too strong and I fear the pain of it might + make me hurt someone. + + I head for the park. Not too long ago I caught a pair of rabbits + there. Perhaps tonight I shall have similar luck. + + I hear them first; the soft padding of tennis shoes and the sharp + click of high heels. Then I scent them, one has a decidedly masculine + smell while from the other wafts the delicate scent of some perfume. + Before I see them I know what to expect; two kids, probably from the + local college, out on a date, going for a romantic stroll by moonlight + in the park. In short, fresh blood for the likes of me. + + My pulse quickens with the thought of the hot, rich, red liquid + coursing down my throat. I catch myself as I begin to edge forward. + If I am not careful my instincts will get the better of me. It would + be so easy, the humans never take any real precautions against such as + I and they are easier to catch than the animals which are my normal + fare but no, I will not give in to the hunger, I cannot. I hate what + I am but I have to live with it and with myself. And so I ease myself + back into the shadows as the humans come round a hedge. I was right, + just a couple of college kids out to have a good time. Silently I + wish them luck for I envy them their innocence. + + Then I see the wino that is no wino. He wears the ragged clothes + of a street bum. In one arm he cradles a bottle of Muscatel, of which + he reeks. A battered hat shields his face from the street lights, + hiding it in shadow. A good enough disguise to fool a human but not + enough to trick my senses. Silently I laugh, where is the smell of + old vomit and urine that normally accompany such as you? You cannot + fool me, old friend, for you and I are brothers. I see the gleam of + hunger in your shadowed eyes, the glistening tip of your tongue as you + moisten your lips in anticipation. I know what you are feeling so + intimately for I too just felt it. But you are one of the weak ones + or worse, one of the ones that glories in such things as what we are. + + He has been lying on the bench so still that the couple has not + noticed him. Maybe they think he is asleep. Maybe they were so + wrapped up in each other that they didn't see him. Whatever the case, + they know he is there now as he lurches to his feet, hands reaching + out to grab and hold. The boy, brave in his ignorance, shoves the + girl back and moves between her and the wino. Undaunted the wino + lashes out, his hand a blur, to smash aside the boy with inhuman + strength. The lad lies still where he falls, unconscious, possibly + dead. Now the wino glides toward the girl, relishing the terror which + holds her paralyzed. He opens his mouth in a leer and she screams at + the sight of his fangs. + + I am the wind as, on shadow silent paws, I rush past her to hurl + myself at the wino. My jaws snap at his throat but it is no longer + there as he becomes mist. Then it is another wolf that faces me. We + circle each other warily for a moment. I stop between him and the + girl. He hungrily eyes the boy, then changes again; this time his + shape flows into that of a bat, and he flies away. I consider + pursuing the abomination but, no I must help the humans. + + ``Good boy,'' comes the girl's voice. I turn to face her. She + smells of fear but she is unwilling to leave the boy. She moves + slowly towards him, trying not to spook me. She is brave like the + boy. I change and it catches her by surprise. Before she can + remember the legends, I trap her eyes with my own. I remake history. + When I am done she remembers nothing of what has happened. I release + her and turn to examine the boy. He still lives. With rest he will + recover. + + I hear the sound of running feet. People coming to investigate + the girl's screams. I stand and nod at the girl, then fade into the + night. + + It is late and I still haven't eaten. I must do something soon + or the hunger will consume me. But for now I am satisfied. I am + nosferatu and I am human. + + * * * + + A lot of people are afraid of death but I am not. I came to + realize early on that death is inevitable; nothing lives forever. + Perhaps I shall see my love when I die. I hope so. + + * * * + + ``I love the night.'' Lynn laughs and her eyes seem to sparkle in + the moonlight. ``I don't know why. It just seems like the darkness + sets my spirit free. I feel like I'm bursting with energy. I want to + run and jump and shout for joy.'' Suddenly I am serious. ``Lately I + feel that way a lot. Whenever I'm with you.'' + + ``You've been watching too many old movies,'' jibes Lynn as she + gives my hand a squeeze. + + I grimace and moan, ``The lady doth wound me deeply. I confess + my love and she laughs at me.'' + + ``Pardon me, kind sir. How may I make amends?'' + + ``If you would dance with me it might ease the pain some small + degree.'' + + Lynn laughs, ``Here on the sidewalk? With no music?'' + + ``Of course not,'' I exclaim. ``What do you take me for? A + fool? No, don't answer that. I mean on yonder hill in the faery ring + that crowns it. There we can dance to the strains of an elvish + band.'' + + ``Has anyone ever told you that you're strange?'' + + ``Of course, many a time. I'll have you know that I work very + hard to make people think I'm strange.'' We are young and in love. + The night is full of silver magic. + + Our waltz is interrupted by a dog's howl. Lynn shivers so I pull + her close. From behind me comes a growling sound and Lynn suddenly + stiffens. I turn to find myself facing a wolf. Once more it growls + and then it takes a step forward. Pushing Lynn behind me I say, + ``Just stay calm and don't make any sudden moves.'' The wolf's muscles + seem to bunch and then it leaps upon me. Startled I fall backwards. + My head strikes something cold and hard. Unfriendly blackness + consumes me. The last thing I hear is Lynn screaming. + + * * * + + When I awoke Lynn was dead, her throat torn away, and I was a + vampire. I begin to laugh but it only makes the pain worse so I stop. + Funny how the past always returns to haunt you. As if my life was not + already more horrid than I can bear.

Lynn... + + + + + + + Hampton Cafe + By Garry Frank + CSTGLFPC@UIAMVS.BITNET + Copyright 1989 Garry Frank / Failsafe Productions + ====================================================================== + + He was a small man, no taller than a boy of fourteen, but he + carried himself with an air of contentment and virility that made him + hard to forget. I do not know his name, and I do not ever wish to. I + met him for the first and only time in a small cafe near Hampton, a + place I would often escape to when I needed to be alone. Hampton was + peaceful, and the cafe even more so. + + It was not uncommon for me to spend hours of my time sipping + coffee and twiddling my spoon in a small, deserted booth in the south + corner. It was a special place to me, a place I could go to be + thoughtful or dreamy. Or in this case, sorrowful. + + I had gone to Hampton on the afternoon of October 12, 1981, two + days after the death of my brother, Matthew. I had gone to the + funeral almost completely alone, since he and I were the last + remaining members of our family, having been the only sons of a man + who was an only child. That man, my father, had attained his own date + of mourning in the cafe some years earlier. + + I invited none of my friends, not even Matthew's, and I wonder + sometimes if I hadn't intentionally avoided informing everyone but a + small handful of people about his death. I do not like to cause any + more grief in the world than I have to. + + I am not obsessed with death. I think that I may have been the + only person at the funeral who truly accepted the concept of Matthew + being dead, and the peace that such a thing should bring. All the + same, this acceptance did not stifle my need to escape to the cafe, to + my special table, sip coffee, and think. + + The waitress gave me no more attention than she would give any + other patron and did not recognize me. Nor did she make the + connection between my face and the particular table at which I was + seated, the same table I had always selected for almost six years now. + The coffee was black and strong, and I had to mix several packets of + sugar with it to make it tolerable. It cooled in the stagnant cafe + atmosphere, and when the steam had completely departed, it revealed + the old man, standing less than seven feet from my table, staring at + my coffee. + + He was wearing an old but intact gray two piece suit. His + stature was wide, and his shoulders broad, but he still had an aura of + humility about him that I could not explain. His face gave away his + age, which was in the mid-seventies, I imagine, and it was + clean-shaven, yet haggard, like the face of a man who has lost + interest in appearance. His shoes were clean, an extremely odd thing + to notice at that point, I know. My acute sense of observation + sometimes gets the best of me. Covering his short, brownish-gray hair + was a short-brimmed hat of almost the same color. + + His eyes were like dark chips of ice, yet when he stared at me + through the clearing steam, feelings of care and compassion swamped + over me. + + "May I sit down?" + + His voice was clear and soft. It took me a little by surprise. + + "Yes, please do." I found myself saying before thinking about + what I might be getting into. + + He shuffled himself into the booth, sitting across from me, + nearer to the window. + + "Cold." He said, smiling and shrugging his shoulders, "That + coffee looks quite good." + + I paused for a second. The man did not have the appearance of a + man stricken by poverty. + + "Would you like some?" I was full willing to by him a cup of his + own, if not to give him mine, which I seemed to had lost the taste + for. + + "No." He shrugged. "No, no, no... I am not in need of favors. + I am simply making small talk." + + I nodded, confused. I had an urge to simply come out and ask him + what it was that he wanted. + + "Cold, yes. Quite cold. Very difficult times." + + I frowned. + + "Do I know you from somewhere?" + + "Only indirectly... In passing, so to speak. I was a good + friend of your brothers." + + I accepted this in good faith, not taking the time to stop and + weed out the oddities of his story. + + "I see." + + "Very good friend indeed. I understand you are now all that is + left of the family line." + + "Yes, you could say that." + + I thought back briefly on what the old man had said. Was a good + friend, he used the word was, and I had never seen this man before in + my life. I had only told six people about the death, only one of + which was a good friend of Matthew's, and this man was not one of + them. + + The obituaries, I thought to myself, he just read about it in the + papers. I came up with the comeback myself: there hasn't been an + obituary report yet. A clerical error had caused the local newspaper + to report the death two weeks after the event itself, so where, + thought I, did he find out? + + Again, I came to my own rescue, there must have been other + reports. Other articles in the news. This man had just been paying + acute attention. Perhaps he was a consistent member of the church + where the service was held, and saw it written in the schedule + pamphlet. + + He was, after all, a good friend of Matthew's. + + So why wasn't he at the funeral..? + + "Such a pity. His demise, I mean. That is, after all, the + reason you are here, is it not?" + + "I'm sorry?" + + "You have come here to grieve, so to speak." + + My eyes were locked open. He continued to speak with remarkable + calmness. + + "Do not be frightened. I am here as a friend." + + My throat was getting slightly dry, and it clicked as I + swallowed. I was genuinely intrigued, if not scared. + + "Look, I'm sorry, but I've never seen you before in my life, and + I knew most of Matthew's close friends." + + "Are you saying that I'm not who I say I am?" + + "I'm saying that you haven't said who you are at all. Now + please, my good man, state your business or leave me in peace." + + "I have a message." + + I couldn't move. + + "A message?" + + "From Matthew." + + It was then that all time seemed to stop in the Hampton Cafe. I + found myself mesmerized by this old man, held in some kind of + imaginary, supernatural grip. I began to breathe quickly, then + stifled it, to conceal my fear. + + "I don't understand." + + "I have a message from Matthew." + + "Are you in charge of his will?" + + He chuckled. + + "No. No, not at all. This is not something that he wanted to + say to you. This is something that he wants to say." + + There it was again. Has a message. Wants to say. The fear of + this man, of the unknown crept up slowly from my heart. + + "Would you like to hear it?" + + I paused. + + "Yes." I whispered. + + For the next few seconds, a startling change came over the old + man's face, a change that I will describe only once, something which I + have never been able to satisfactorily explain since. For the brief + moment when the old man relayed his message, his eyes changed. His + eyes and mouth took on a new form, perhaps only in my mind, perhaps + not. His eyes turned dark brown, and they somehow glistened + differently, with youthfulness. The eyes portrayed a different mind, + and the mind that was behind them was a mind that I did and still + could recognize at a moment's glance. It was Matthew. For a brief + instant, the old man's eyes became Matthew's. He said: + + "Thank you, Jonathan. For all you have given me. Please forgive + the shortcomings of my youth, the pain of our days growing up, for + someday you will be with me, and together we will be happy." + + Then his eyes faded, and the man sat back in his cushioned seat. + + "He thought you should know that before you went on living." + + The old man slid to the end of the seat, and moved to stand up. + + "Wait." I croaked silently. He seemed to take no notice. He + stood, and walked toward the exit of the cafe. Just before he opened + the door, he stopped, and I got up enough strength to ask: + + "Who are you?" + + He nodded and stepped out the door. I sat in my own sweat for a + long time, not knowing what to make of what I had just experienced. I + have not told anyone about my periodic expeditions to the cafe until + just now. Not even Matthew. If this was some elaborate joke, how did + he know to come here? Had he been shadowing me since the funeral? + Where did he get his information? + + Breaking the spell, I stood up violently and stepped toward the + exit, just as he had done seconds ago. I threw open the door, and + stepped out into the parking lot. The wind was cold, and I had left + my jacket in the cafe, so I stood there, shivering, looking earnestly + for a trace of the old man. + + I found none. + + There had been only one automobile in the lot, and it was mine. + The only possible directions he could have gone walking (I heard no + motor) were well within sighting distances. It was as though he had + just vanished. + + Several explanations came to me later, ranging from the abstract + (I had merely lost track of time, and he had walked many blocks during + my spell) to the common (he had escaped on bicycle) to the silly (he + was hidden under my car). + + Since none struck me at the time, I resigned myself to re-enter + the cafe and sit once again at my booth. I pondered the events which + I now chronicle, then paid for my coffee and left. + + + + It has been many years since my encounter with the old man at the + Hampton Cafe, and I am still as speechless about it as I was back + then. What happened, you ask. I do not honestly know. Some + elaborate prank? There had been too much detail which would have + required so much research and money that the prank would have been + worthless without a punch line, so to speak. And I have not been + bothered by laughing co-workers since. + + Was this old man somehow a messenger from wherever Matthew is + now? I do not know. I am not even sure if I believe that myself, and + I was the one who recognized his eyes. Did the event change my life, + do you ask? I only wish it had. I still find myself as much of an + agnostic as I was many years ago. + + I still have no answers. + + The only change it brought about in my personal philosophy is not + one of conviction in the afterlife, or in Heaven and Hell. The change + is acceptance that there are many things in this life which we cannot + explain. I accepted this with the same calm frame of mind with which + I accepted Matthew's death: + + There are things in this world which defy logical explanation. + + There is so much we don't understand. I am convinced of that. + There is so much about this world that we do not understand. + + + + So now what? I visited the cafe a total of three times after the + incident. Once for the birth of my son, once for the death of my + wife, and once for the end of World War III. Very few events other + than these have influenced my life. + + I enjoy my life, but I am not afraid of losing it. + + The dingy cafe four miles to the East of the small Missouri town + of Hampton is still standing. So am I. + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Garry is a Broadcasting and Film major attending + the University of Iowa.

The time is 21:34 on October 27, 2050. + You are packing a state of the art Phased Plasma Pistol, a real + beauty. You can feel its cold metal pushing up against the skin of + your left side through the tight fitting radiation-proof cover-all. + Feeling the piece there gives you a sense of security, a feeling that + armies would fall under your fire. The fact that you are on massive + amounts of speed, of course, does wonders for your sense of euphoria. + + On the opposite side of your body, there is another object that + makes you feel good. Although not as large as the pistol, you can + still feel it's weight. It is a small iron bar, a one day pass into + the free-neutral city. The city lies four hundred kilometers to the + southwest of the base you are stationed at. Right now, you're driving + down a fairly straight road, bounded on both sides by seemingly + endless planes of glass-like residue, the only telltale that there + ever was a fusion explosion here. The sight is familiar to you, so + you do not contemplate how this area will be barren for millennia to + come, nor of how you are only able to pass here due do the heavy + shielding of your '20 Chevy Sunblazer. Your mind doesn't flicker + back, even for a second to the millions who died when the great city + that once stood here was annihilated completely. + + The speedometer reads 207 km/hr. A respectable speed, but you'd + like to go faster. Your left hand planted firmly on the wheel, you + toggle the velocity switch a few times until the green counter rises + to 265. Normally, you wouldn't be able to control the car at this + speed, but the increased awareness and strength provided by the drug + does a lot to help. The base won't notice a few patches missing from + the barracks supply station. You think back, only for a moment, to + all your poor compatriots who don't have a friend in the supply + division; who can only experience what you're experiencing now while + in action. Your thoughts quickly turn to contempt. + + "Fuck 'em!" you mutter venomously under your breath. You raise + the velocity to 296. + + Now, through the leaded glass of your windshield, you can see the + towers and lights of the free-neutral city, and also something else of + interest. Perched ominously over the lighted city is the hulking form + of the carnival zeppelin. The zeppelin, now dark, will shine tonight + with the intensity of the sun. Even at this distance you can feel the + members of the psycho-symphony tuning their instruments. Nothing mind + effecting now, but later... later... You reach back behind your + neck, flick a switch on your brain implant, and the disturbances + cease. It wouldn't do any good to have distractions now, not when + every movement of the wheel is life or death. No.. As good as the + carnival psycho-symphony is, you decide to forgo tonight's + performance. You have some other entertainment in mind. + + The towers are closer now, as is the looming hulk of the + zeppelin. A blinking radar dish icon on your dash tells you that + you're about to enter into a speed patrolled area. Regretfully, you + thumb the revert-legal button on the wheel and your speed drops down + to 150. Even in your drugged state, you realize that the pistol + pressed tightly against your armpit won't save your from the automatic + guns that are the city's defenses. You've seen city defenses in + action before. You're not about to let that happen to you; not when + you've got so much to do. + + As you pull your vehicle in through the ramparts, your level of + excitement rises. You can feel the blood course through your veins + faster and faster, driven by your racing heartbeat. + + + + You are in a field; a broad, green, gently sloping field; the + kind they had before the terror. You are a child. The grass is + thick, although not overgrown. Small portions of it break off and + stick to your feet as you run through it. The sweet smell of flowers + is near. You don't know which ones. It doesn't matter, the smell is + good. As you run across the field, you start to bound, your bare feet + contacting with the ground, then your entire body raising into the air + with each stride. How easy it is. And how futile. + + + + "Your pass sir? This is the last request I shall make. I repeat + my assertion that I am prepared to use deadly force unless + identification is certified." + + The voice of the gate computer brings you back from your reverie. + You remove the iron bar from your right vest pocket and insert it into + the slot next to the window. You're amazed that you were able to + negotiate the car to its present position. You try, in vain to + recapture your vision, but it is forgotten. You can think now only of + the carnival's delights. No doubt there will be mutant death + wrestling, perhaps a few burnings of recently seized technocrats, and + certainly there will be the famed sex-slaves. You reach down into + your left hip pocket and finger the coinage therein. There is enough. + + The light in front of you flashes green, and the gate opens. The + auto-control of your car is engaged, removing you from the loop. At a + creeping pace which angers you even more than the tone of that gate + computer, you are drawn into the spacious parking lot of the city. + + When you finally stop and get out, a female voice gently reminds + you "remember where you parked, please." Your hand instinctively moves + to your gun, eagerly anticipating. It is only when the weapon is half + drawn do you realize that the voice's source is the PA located at the + top of a high pole some thirty meters from you. "Remember where you + parked, please" she states again, softly. Fighting your nature, you + sheathe the pistol, but the swirling energy in your blood stream + remains undiminished. You must consummate your feelings; soon. + + You enter the winding walkways of the free-neutral city, walking + at what you consider to be a slow pace, so as not to broadcast your + condition. Still, you seem to be passing out most of the other + walkers. + + Perhaps it is the subliminal advertising boards hung above the + pubs, or perhaps you were simply too excited to notice it before, but + you suddenly feel parched beyond belief. You must have a drink. The + noisiest, most garishly colored bar attracts your attention and you + enter, anticipating the cool feeling of liquid passing down your + throat. The place is crowded, hiding for the moment your + conspicuousness; the wide open eyes and red lips that are the mark of + a soldier. + + You look towards the bar, and she is there. Just the same as she + was all of those years ago, at the first carnival. There is no + thought in your mind as to how she is here, or why she doesn't + recognize you when you sit down next to her and offer her a drink. + Your increased awareness does not extend to your inner being, and so + the illusion lives on. + + "I'd be much obliged, stranger. Ooooh.. Are you a soldier? How + interesting! You must be very strong. And very wealthy, no? I'm + sure you have some coinage on you, eh?" + + "I'll have a bourbon and soda, and a beer for the lady," you + state impassively at the bartender. "Coming right up, sir," he says + as he turns around, revealing the series of raised switches on the + back of his neck. A deserter, no doubt. You hate deserters, but you + suffer him to live as long as he doesn't give you any lip. "Do you + live here, or are you part of the carnival?" you ask politely, even + though she is obviously of the latter persuasion. Her scant, ornate + clothing and wealth of hair, a commodity for which other less + fortunate women would kill, give her away clearly. + + "I'm a carnie worker... I'm, uh.. off for the day though." You + don't hear her. You're too busy looking her up and down. Her body + has some inconsequential differences to how you remember her, but all + in all she appears the same. Large breasts heaving with the effort + she must take to breathe this thickened air. Eyes dilated by + depressants or pleasure heighteners. Smooth skin unblemished by even + a single spot or bump. She's been modified, as they all have. It + goes without saying. She is too perfect, just as she always has been. + + + + You've run into a section of the field where the grass is taller, + thicker, more easily concealing. Some of the long strands have a dry + seed pod at the top, waiting to be blown away by the wind, to + propagate, to spawn, to swarm. Bees buzz around you now, but you've + had your shots, so they don't come within a few feet of your heaving + body. You ran hard and fast, and now your friends won't find you; for + sure they won't, and then you'll win. You'll prove yourself superior. + You squat down to provide yourself even more protection than before. + Waiting, anticipating the moment you hope will never come, when your + questing friends will come upon you with a shout and you will taste + your defeat. + + + + As you walk out of the bar with her, your excitement reaches a + peak level. You start walking faster, faster, until she can barely + keep up with you. "Why are you walking so fast? What's the hurry, + honey?" You still don't hear her. To you, she has become a + non-person; an object. As you pass a deserted alleyway between two + towering buildings, you push her in with all of your weight, following + close behind. As her crumpling form hits the wet ground, you reach + up, to your left side, grasping your pistol, pulling it out of its + carefully fitted holster, aiming it for her crying eyes, now turned + full force on you and filled with a fear unequaled by any opponent you + have ever met in battle. There is only time for her to scream a + plaintive "Why?" How dare she? Why indeed? Doesn't she know? + Doesn't she remember? With only a grim hate in your mind, you pull + the trigger. The only evidence is a clean hole directly in the center + of her forehead. You always were a good shot. + + Kneeling over her dead form, you plant a kiss tenderly on her + stiffening lips. "I loved you." Are the words yours? You don't know. + You only feel the deep satisfaction that came from the kill. You + raise your head to see the tops of the buildings and the huge hulking + form of the zeppelin overhead, blotting out the stars, the sky. Soon + the lights of the zeppelin will brighten the streets of the city. You + take out a small phial, remove a new patch and apply it eagerly, + discarding the old one. Already you can feel the excitement course + through your veins, just as you can hear the blood rushing there even + now, pumped by a renewed purpose. + + By now your drugged mind has almost forgotten the existence of + the corpse beneath your feet. You must find her again, and kill her, + and again. You will kill again tonight. + + * * * + + The time was twenty years ago. You were a trainee. Seventeen + years old, a mere boy. But even then you had been carrying a weapon + when you rode into the city, a distant city, with your friends from + the academy. Indeed, the academy required that all personnel on leave + carry a firearm at all times. One never knew what scavenging scum one + might find in the wildernesses of the wasted world. That city had + been much like this one. Smaller, perhaps, but still much like this + one. You remember seeing first the defense towers, and then the + radiation dome that that city had required, being in an area of much + higher risk, and of course there was the zeppelin. You remember + sitting in awe in the main concourse of the city with thousands of + others as the psycho-symphony played through their set, the effects of + the performance sending waves of strange, undefinable sensation though + your body. "Better than sex," you had remarked to one of your friends + afterward. Well, perhaps, perhaps not. Of course, you had been a + virgin at the time, so the use of the expression had been more comical + than anything else. + + She was at the city. Her name was Juliana. She told you she was + not a prostitute of the carnival, merely a worker for it. Her job was + mostly in setting up the carnival, and so she had some time off, time + she usually spent in whatever city the carnival was in, looking + around, experiencing. She was young, and not unpretty, although not + of the caliber required for the prostitutes and sex-slaves but to you + she was perfect. What you and her shared that night was greater than + any pleasure you have since had. You shared tenderness, you exposed + your soul to her, and she to you. And for the first time in your + life, you believed yourself to be happy. You cared for her, damn it! + You cared for her in the few weeks that you were together. You spent + most of your time with her and when the call to return to the academy + for classes and training came, you disobeyed it. + + And then it had come. A subtle change in the way she acted + towards you, the way she spoke to you. Almost unnoticeable, but you + noticed it. You felt her love for you deteriorate step by step, while + you tried to wish away the hour you knew would come, tried to tell + yourself it was just a passing phase. You remember the moment when + you came back to the apartment she was renting. She told you that + night that she had loved another man. A man of the carnival. The + carnival was leaving, and so was she. She didn't want to see you any + more. She was a wanderer, she didn't want to stay put for any length + of time. Many other things were said, many more excuses. All you + could think of was how she had used you, how horribly insensitive she + was to you, how much you had given to her and how she was now repaying + you, with her brutal farewell. You remember running back to the + academy, to lick your wounds, to nurse your hate. They reaccepted + you. No reason was grave enough to give up a potential soldier. And + a soldier was what they got. + + The image of her in your mind is skewed now, distorted, enhanced + by the images of other, lesser women. Women with expressions of blind + terror frozen into their faces, just like the woman you even now leave + in the alley. In a very real way, all of those women are and were + Juliana. All of them. + + + * * * + + + The field has turned a deep auburn color now. Still the grass is + thick, but many of the strands are dry and brittle. Now as you run + back towards the school the strands break under your feet, sometimes + causing pain. The sky, formerly a deep shade of blue, now appears + gray. Huge black clouds move fast and silently over the darkened + land. Strong winds have begun to blow in from the south. Already you + can feel the first drops of the storm impacting on top of your tousled + mop of hair. The other children are already there, waiting for you, + calling to you, calling from safety, along with the worried teachers. + "Hurry up, Phil!" they shout plaintively. "The storm's coming! Get + inside quick!" Or maybe the voices come from inside. The schoolhouse + seems so very far away. + + + + You walk several meters down the street from where the opening to + the alleyway lies when the lights come on. From above, from the huge + form of the zeppelin, there is light; a bright white light, a magical + light. You try to look up, but the zeppelin is too bright to look at + directly. Like the sun. Like the truth. It leaves a shadow on your + vision that never seems to completely clear. You feel a slight + brushing against your mind, a signal that the Psycho-Symphony has + started its epic concert. Still, you make no move to cut out your + shield. You've seen her now. There she is! Walking out of that + residence! This time you'll have her. This time she can't escape + your savage passions. + + Now another woman lies dead in a thirty-fourth floor hallway, + slumped against one wall. This is the third for this night, and still + it is the first ever. Again, the look of crazed terror on her face. + Again, the clean burn-hole bisecting her frontal lobe perfectly. The + effect is enhanced by the bright light streaming down through the + picture window from the zeppelin, giving all objects in sight a + day-glow luminescence. Still, you love her. + + Skulking out of the residence, pistol still hot from the last + shot, you glimpse, out of the corner of your eye, an ambulance drone + carrying another one of this night's victims along with several other + corpses you don't recognize. It appears you aren't the only one who's + been busy this night. Far from it. It's the way it always is at + carnival time. Some corner of your mind reaches out to these other + murderers, leaving a trail of dead flesh just as you do. You feel, + somehow, that you are all kin, a brotherhood. But this feeling is + soon wiped clean from your mind by the all-pervasiveness of the new + dose of the drug. You must kill again, for only in killing can your + passions be consummated. Your carnal excitement reaches a fever + pitch. Not thinking of your own safety, only of your purpose, you + reach for your pistol, tooking out across the crowded square for a + target; any target. + + "Phil? Phil Miller?" The voice shatters your concentration like + a brick thrown through a plate-glass window. You turn, hand still + gripping the pistol in its shoulder holster. At first, you can't make + out who or what... and then there she is. "It's Juliana. You do + remember me, don't you? I know it's been a long time, but when I saw + your name come up on the city pass list, I just had to go looking for + you. You all right?" + + You're not. You're frozen in stark terror. You can feel the + blood drain from your face, your pupils dilate. It can't be! Your + grip on the pistol is greater than ever. + + "You OK Phil? Oh dear! I seem to have given you quite a shock! + Maybe I should have left well enough alone... Want to sit down or + something?" + + If you hear her at all, it is merely as a shadow, as all of those + other women were merely shadows of this goddess that stands before you + now. Juliana, how could I profane you so? The words only appear in + your head, but to you they are real. You pull the pistol slowly out + of its holster. + + + + The storm is raging full force now. Rain batters at the + schoolhouse windows and roof, propagating waves of sound that + reverberate throughout the cinderblock classrooms. As much as you + tell yourself that the building will stand under this punishment, and + as much as the teachers reassure you, you can't help thinking that the + world is on the verge of collapse. The wars in Asia and Africa seem + to grow nearer every day. The blockades in South America are causing + more and more controversy. The government, torn apart and dominated + by huge corporations, holds no answer, no hope. Somewhere in your + mind, you realize that most of your thoughts now are in retrospect, + looking back on that day with the point of view of someone who's been + through it, but the image is still real. The blinding flash far on + the horizon. The rush for the underground shelters. The horrible, + horrible noise. These are real memories, no phantoms. The death. + Only the death is unreal. It could not be realized by even the + oldest, wisest minds, and certainly it could not be realized by a + child. + + + + "Phil, no! no!" She rushes at you but it is too late.

She climbed into the + bathtub and soaked, water as hot as she could stand. At last she + drained the tub, wrapped herself in her warmest bathrobe and made a + pot of tea. When it was poured and steaming she opened her purse and + took out the funeral program. + + The cover was a tasteful photograph of stars over a quiet sea and + a few lines from "home is the sailor." Inside was the order of + service, a list of hymns, a short biography and a recent publicity + photograph. Nothing in it seemed to have anything to do with Paul. + There was no mention of suicide. + + The telephone was ringing. Margaret crumpled the program and + dropped it in the waste chute. She picked up the receiver before the + third ring. + + "Yes?" she said. "Oh, Andrea, hello!" She looked across the room + at the calendar, where a date three weeks ahead was circled in black. + "Yes, it was a lovely service .... Your roses were beautiful .... I + thought so too .... No, I went alone. I'm sorry you couldn't get + back in time. How is Japan?" + + A longer pause. "No, I suppose they didn't. It happened on + Wednesday. He was working on his new novel. The machine was still on + when they found him. He shot himself through the head. He hadn't + even taken off his harness." Margaret was surprised how calmly she + could relate this. "No, he didn't leave a note. There was no clue in + the tape. No one knows why he did it." + + Damn him, Margaret thought. I always hated his gun collection. + And his war books-- "It was a new Constantin Falcon adventure. + Something about gold and white slavery in the banana republics. He + was on the second draft." She stiffened. "I wouldn't know, Andrea. I + suppose you could contact his attorney." + + Now she relaxed again, speaking as one professional to another. + "Yes, I'll have it in the rough tape by the end of the month .... No, + I can work on it. I lost a few days, of course .... No, I'm fine + now. In fact, the work should do me good." She smiled at the reply. + "Yes, Andrea .... No, Andrea .... I'll see you later, Andrea. + Goodbye." + + Damn the bastard for killing himself, she thought, and the tears + finally came. Why the hell should it hurt so much? It's been over a + year since we split up. We just meet at authors' parties, chat over + drinks. It's all so fucking civilized. + + She cinched her robe tighter, picked up her tea and walked to the + study. The composing machine took up nearly half the room. It was + the one she had used for 23 years, bulky with banks of flickering + lights and trembling meters. She had to be half technician to operate + it. But the new machines were less sensitive-- + + She was starting self-hypnosis as she sat and pulled on the + receiving harness. She pasted the pickups over the acupuncture + meridians, tightened the headband, clipped the ground wires to her + earposts. She smiled at her reflection in the window, strapped and + metal-studded and umbilical-wired like a character in one of her space + fantasies. + + She was adjusting knobs, choosing the tape. She recited her + mantras for this novel, entering the mood. "Fundamentally + Switzerland. So small against the immensity. The high proud terror + of the snows." She settled into the chair and played the familiar + switches, advancing the tape to the roughed-in chapter. "Margot flees + to the pass. The pass -- the "col" -- is haven. Escape from Italy. + Switzerland. Premonition of the final terror." Should I record from + the start? She decided to view for a while, as if she were audience. + + Now, belted and strapped like a spaceman she descends, counting + downward through the three stages of sleep. She has reached eyelid + catalepsy, she drains her arm of feeling, then fills it with light. + Far away as in a dream she feels it levitate. When it reaches her + face it drops and she enters the story. + + + + Blue sky, cloudless and cold, dark with high altitudes. + Featureless--a sudden pain at the sun, overexposed--drops back to blue + and below, mountains. These are white mountains, sharp ice edges + against the void. A sudden cold, as if wind blows from the ice. In + the cold a subtle undertone, a terror, a premonition or a nostalgia. + + Margaret, surprised, decides that last mood flicker must be + removed. This novel has nothing to do with nostalgia. + + The view drops from ice to rock, then down dark forest slopes. + Below is the road, two lanes, old blacktop, white dashed line. It + clings to the mountain in vertiginous switchbacks, fades into blue + haze far below. On the road two cars crawl about two turns apart, as + if linked by invisible string. + + We descend rapidly toward the red Chevy convertible, white + leather top open, a starlike reflection off the paint. A glance + behind at the gray Mercedes, sharklike, implacable. Now we are in the + car, a disembodied viewer in the passenger seat. Margot, who is + driving, looks over her shoulder at the Mercedes two turns below. + Fear flickers about her mouth. She controls the shudder, tries to get + more speed from the red convertible. The car skids on a tight turn. + A quick glance at the blue depths below, a shudder of fear. + + We pass an Italian mile-post. It is sixty-five kilometers to the + Swiss border. Margot's mouth silently forms the words "sixty-five + kilometers." She looks up toward the col. (Segue here--pass, col, + Ramuz, Switzerland.) Our gaze follows hers. We know that the top of + the pass is the Swiss border and safety. + + Our gaze lingers on the far snowfields after Margot's has + returned to the road. The cold returns, now mixed with Margot's fear. + (Is the nostalgia still there?) + + Margaret decides to take control. Far away, in a dream of + flickering lights and trembling needles, her wired hand moves to a + switch, presses it. Tape reels revolve silently. The mountains + heave, then stabilize. The landscape is the same. But now she is + creating it, wandering invisible in circuits of brainlike complexity + half a mile below the publishing house. She feels the potent joy of + creation. + + Margaret sharpens a mountain peak. She defines the line of the + road where it crosses the snowfields, gray on white. With the + landscape in order she turns to her heroine. + + Now that they are recording, Margot is aware of Margaret's + presence. But she does not turn yet, still in character. "The woman + menaced." Very good, thinks Margaret, studying her expression. Just + the right touch of brave resolve over the fear. Margot reaches back + and touches her hair where it is held by the clip, an almost + unconscious gesture of vanity or bravado. She glances back at the + gray Mercedes. It is no closer. + + "Good morning." says Margaret. + + Margot relaxes and smiles. "Good morning, Margaret. Are you all + right?" + + Margaret frowns, says "Well enough. Why do you ask?" + + Margot looks at her strangely. "Andrea was here this morning. + She left a note for you in the glove compartment." + + Margaret finds it: + + Great feel to the last chapter. Keep up the good work + We're all pulling for you, kid. Love, Andrea. + + Margaret smiles. "Did you read this?" Margot nods. "Someone I + once loved has killed himself. Paul Constant. He was a composer + too." + + "He created Constantin Falcon, didn't he?" + + "Of course you remember him. I had forgotten our joint story." + Margaret blushed. "I had always sort of hoped we could do another. + That one was very popular." + + "Well, I enjoyed it." + + Margaret stares at her character. My god, she acts so real + sometimes. + + She remembers their first and only collaboration. In the first + delights of mutual lust, they had created New Orleans brothels, + unspoiled Pacific islands, mad gallops over the Arabian desert under + the lurid moon. When they finally settled on a plot they had edited + out all the sex scenes and left only the romance. The emotional + undertones had required more skillful, professional editing before + Andrea would release it. "We are NOT a porno house!" she stated, + tapping her pencil. + + ("I'll write her into my next as Queen Victoria," Paul had + whispered.) + + "I'm glad Andrea dropped in. Margot, let's try to finish up the + chase to the pass today. I think we can keep the main action and + views we blocked in last week, and work on emotions." + + Margot frowned. "I still think the action is a little weak. + Maybe we could leave it open for improv, see what turns up. We can + always use the backup tape if it doesn't work." + + "Well, it is a little trite. Why not?" Margaret trusts the part + of herself that has created Margot, that is Margot. Paul always kept + the Falcon on a tight leash, a wooden puppet. ("Hell, woman! All the + people want is action! The other stuff is all literature." Half + ironically, half meaning it.) + + Margot returns to the script, squeezing every ounce of power from + the red convertible. Vertiginous views, spraying gravel, the smell of + hot brakes. Margot's fear, more insistent, a hint of her thoughts. A + memory image--golden sunset, Claude handing her the white packet by + the Grand Canal. "They'll kill for this, love," he had said. Now + they are trying. The road again, the pass still far away, white on + blue. Near panic, then control. The high snows brood over all, + fundamentally Switzerland. + + Margaret notices the mountains sagging. That's a hazard of full + recording, not depending on the tape. Your attention wanders, things + change. Stream of consciousness takes over. Objects have emotional + undertones. It can save a tired story or ruin it. She plumps the + mountains up again, but the peaks seem softer, as if the ice were + melting. + + Another turn. The scream of tires on gravel echoes the silent + scream in Margot's head. Good effect. We'll keep it. + + She hears Margot gasp. + + The gray Mercedes has crept up a hundred yards. There is now + barely a switchback between them. Too early! thinks Margaret. But + let it be, maybe it will tighten the pacing. Margot pulls ahead + slowly, regains the lost space. Another turn, a skid near the edge. + Too close--we made it! Relief, then remembering, the fear again. The + road turns up a glacial valley and the ground becomes nearly level. + Dense forest blocks their view. + + + + "The car is boiling over," says Margot. + + "That's not in the script." + + "It's doing it anyway." The gauge needle is well into the red + zone. Margaret tries to will it down. + + "I suppose the radiator would have boiled if we had been driving + this hard," she says. "Damn it, I keep forgetting about old cars. + Margot, I'm going to make a fork in the road ahead. Take the left + road. I'll get the Mercedes to take the wrong fork." + + It is hackneyed, but she doesn't know what else to do. Margot + can't flee on foot in this country. Nor can she have a shoot-out with + the men in the gray Mercedes. That can't come until the end, five + chapters away, in a speedboat on Lake Constance. "Maybe there can be + a small dirt road over a different pass, known only to local + farmers...?" (Trite! You're getting old, Margaret!) + + Or maybe I should give Margot a better car. It would mean + retaping most of the chapter, but we could salvage a lot-- The + intersecting road appears. The tires squeal as Margot swings suddenly + to the left, a quick decision. + + Good touch, thinks Margaret. Maybe this will work out after all. + + "There's a gas station ahead," says Margot. "I'm stopping." + There is, indeed, a small building with a sign that says PETROL, red + letters on white. + + Is that right? Margaret wonders. She changes the word to + GAZOLIN, then ESSENCE, but it still looks wrong. I'll research it + later, she decides. She pulls out her notebook (and far away a second + tape revolves.) + + Ask A. re: "gas" Ital. Switz., ca. 1967. Photos? + + Margot pulls up beside the pumps. The mechanic lifts the hood + and begins spraying water on the erupting radiator. "Won't that crack + the engine block?" + + Margot smiles. "Trust me. Let's go in and have a cup of + coffee." + + Margaret notices the little restaurant beside the gas station. + The white neon sign in the window spells CAFE ANTARCTICA. + (Antarctica?!) "Why not? I need time to think." + + The two women sit near the window. Outside, trees sway in the + wind from the pass. Above them the mountains look soft and + vulnerable, like ice cream. + + In the station lot, the mechanic is doing something to their + engine with a large wrench. + + Margaret hooks her arm over the back of the chair and looks + around the cafe. "Don't they heat this place?" Her breath fogs the + air. The walls are brushed steel, the white linoleum floor spotless + as a hospital. On the tabletop, which is a mirror, are a transparent + vase and one white rose. The sign in the window, seen from the rear, + is reflected around it in puddles of white light. CAFE ANTARCTICA, + reversed and inverted. + + Why Antarctica? All that goddamn snow. I'm freezing. What's my + subconscious up to today? Margaret shivers, hugs herself. Margot + silently offers her a sweater. + + The waitress has come. Expressionless, white as a nurse, eyes + hidden by mirrored sunglasses. Her hair flames bright as a rainbow, a + shaggy cut dyed orange, blue and golden. + + "Two coffees, one black, one with cream." It is Margot who + orders. Margaret stares at their reflections in the table top. Her + heroine, dark and slim, smooths her immaculate hair. Margaret's own + image is large and blondish, visibly middle-aged. She feels worn out. + Her shoulders ache. She cannot find her comb. She tries to recapture + the mood of the novel, repeats her mantras. "Fundamentally + Switzerland. Facing the immensity alone. Riding like a falcon above + fear. Death in the high proud snows." When she reopens her eyes the + coffee has come. + + Horribly, it comes in clear glass mugs. The steam rises above + the cups and sinks into the depths of the mirrored table. The + reflections of the ceiling lights look like stars. She sips slowly. + Calm. Be calm. You are in control. This your world, your self. + Fundamentally-- + + Outside, the mountains roll past in stately progression like + waves on a peaceful sea. The trees sway in the wind like seaweed. + Warped reflections from the ice fields dancing on the walls are like + the surface of water seen from beneath. As a drowning man might see + it. Once again the cold washes over her, and with it the strange + nostalgia. She knows what it is now. It is depression, nostalgia for + sleep. + + So this is what I had in mind, Margaret thinks. I had thought + this novel would be fundamentally Switzerland. I wanted high proud + mountains over pastures, domesticated immensity. Images taken from + the novelist Ramuz: cows climbing to fragile summer meadows, the + threat of avalanche, fear overcome by stolid courage. Margot, + exhausted by her pursuit from Italy, would meet this hardy courage and + make it her own. + + But instead it is becoming Antarctica. I hate Antarctica. The + snow there is dead snow. It has been there since before there were + men. The horror of frozen mountains under strange stars. Green + witch-lights dancing in the night that lasts all winter. Blank white + silence or wind howling in the dark. The sleep of a land with no hope + of waking. + + What the hell, perhaps I should scrap the whole thing and make an + adventure story. One man alone on a snowfield with solitude and + death. Wolves howl under the northern lights. He's already eaten all + the sled dogs. Death by freezing. They say it feels warm, sinking + down to sleep. + + I wonder how Paul-- + + Goddamn it, I know depression when I see it. Occupational + hazard. Snap out of it! + + You're just tired, babe. Mistake to work today. Take the week + off and fly to Hawaii. + + Or maybe-- + + + + The cafe door opens. The young man who enters is, even before + introductions, unmistakably a reporter. He tips his hat back on his + sandy hair, shakes out his plaid sport coat. "Wind's rising!" he + announces. "Are you Margaret Norris?" + + Where'd I get him? Margaret wonders. He looks like something + from a 'forties film. + + "Sorry, ma'am. Of course I know who you are. I came here to + meet you. But you're probably wondering if I'm real or something you + improv'ed." He extends his hand. "Joe Jackson from the Chronicle. + We're doing a feature on famous composers and I thought it would be + great to do an interview on-line, as it were..." + + "How the hell did you get into my novel?" + + He smiles and pulls up a chair. "Coffee, black!" he shouts over + his shoulder. "Oh, I have literary ambitions myself. Taking a + composing class out at City College. I've done a little computer + stuff before and -- well, I just hacked my way into your account. + Hope you don't mind." + + His coffee has arrived. "Thanks, miss. Great hair. You see, + ma'am, I've always been sort of a fan of yours. And I thought, Joe, + this is your chance of a lifetime. You can actually be IN a Margaret + Norris. See the master in action. Will you do an interview?" + + He's real all right. I couldn't possibly have invented this. + "All right," she agrees. "But frankly I'm having a lousy day. Just + keep it short. And don't ever do this again, or I'll call the cops." + + "Thanks, Ms. Norris!" Relieved. Not a bad kid, just a bit of a + nerd. He turns on his tape recorder and sets it on the mirror among + the mugs. + + + Q. Ms. Norris, a lot of our viewers have asked us, and + frankly I'm curious too. How do you put a dream on a disk? + + A. That's a good question. You need an engineer to answer + it for you. But basically, and I'm probably getting + some of this wrong, the dream is never really on the + disk. There's too much data. The disk just holds the + addresses of the real images, which are stored in a very + large computer owned by the publishing house. That's + why you pay per viewing. You're using computer time. + + + Q. Where do you get ideas for all your novels? + + A. Well, I read a lot. Before composing machines became + so common I wanted to be a writer. The Margot Noel + series is based on the spy and adventure novels of fifty + years ago, which is when they are set. Beyond that, + it's hard to describe how it happens. I work from + dreams, sometimes, or waking fantasies. This novel + started with a few isolated phrases. "The high snows + of fear" was one, and of course that became the title. + "Snow" was also slang for cocaine, which is the pivot of + the plot. + + (...and the adventure genre tied me closer to Paul, let me be Margot, + just as he as the Falcon. But the rest of him was a bitter, balding + little man who drank too much and collected guns. Who shot himself + through the head three days ago. Just as the rest of me is a + middle-aged writer manquee'. We never forgave each other that.) + + Q. Do you base your characters on real people? They seem + so real. + + A. I don't think you can make them real unless they + are really part of yourself at some level. Actually, + after a while characters seem to take on a life of their + own. It's not just practice. They are partly stored in + the computer. They get more interesting as you work + with them. + + Q. Sounds spooky! Aren't you ever afraid they'll take + over? + + A. Well, that's a common plot for horror fantasy, but it + just doesn't happen. The composing computer is + incredibly complex, but it doesn't create. It's more + like a magic mirror from a fairy tale, that shows you + your greatest hopes and fears. + + (...as if that were any less dangerous. And here I am in a blue funk + with my mountains melting. Damn, but it's cold here.) + + + "Thanks for the interview, Ms. Norris. Say, I was wondering... + but it's an awfully big favor." + + "What?" + + "Well, like I said, I'm studying to be a composer. And I noticed + you're having a little trouble with the scenery today. Mind if I fix + it up a little bit?" + + Margaret sighs. "Be my guest. I've given up on taping today + anyway." + + Beyond the window the mountains are boiling like clouds. The + reporter stares at them. A snap like a shutter, and they freeze into + postcard outlines, with the Matterhorn dead center. "Greetings from + Zermatt" half visible in the lower right-hand corner. + + Outside, the mechanic has been replacing parts in their engine. + There are red and yellow rubber things and coiled black hoses. He + slams the hood down and walks away. + + "Honestly, I don't think the Matterhorn is visible from here." + + He shrugs. "It's Switzerland. They'll never notice. Well, + thanks again. Ciao!" + + He climbs into his Porsche and starts the motor. Reporter, car + and postcard mountains vanish in an almost audible click. Logout, + tape off, power down. + + + + God, I feel awful, Margaret thinks. I'll have to erase the whole + chapter, start over from the backup tape or even from Venice. "Margot + dear," she says, "I really don't feel like working today. Shall we + take a few days off and start over? Maybe where you leave Claude in + Venice." + + Margot pats her hand. "No problem. But we've come so far today, + perhaps we should walk through to the pass scene, just to get the feel + of it." + + Margaret hesitates, then agrees. A rehearsal will make it easier + later. If only the mountains would stop heaving. + + "Stop," she whispers, and they freeze back into mountains. But + they are wrong mountains, more like bedpillows. She sits while Margot + pays the bill, fighting down feelings that come in waves, a wave of + nausea, of memories of Paul, of cold, of weariness, that terrible + nostalgia for sleep. + + "I'm so tired," she says. + + "We'll be done soon." They leave the empty cafe. Their car is + waiting for them. Margot takes the wheel again. Margaret lies back + in the seat. She closes her eyes. Remember Switzerland. + Fundamentally.... + + On the road again in the alpine air, Margaret finds she can think + more clearly. The mountains are almost certainly proper mountains. + They show no tendency to shift. Perhaps the break at the gas station + was what the plot needs. A break from the panic. What to use in + place of the reporter? + + No matter, this is just a rehearsal. They will drive to the top + of the pass and walk through the scene there. Then Margaret will go + home and take a hot bath. A clean flannel nightgown lies across the + bed, with clean sheets. In a distant dream Margaret senses her body + waiting patiently at the composing machine, strapped and studded like + a space explorer. She smiles at it. Hello body. I'm coming home. + + They are well above the snowline now. Italy has vanished into + blue mist. A milepost passes. Three kilometers. Another switchback, + and the col opens around them. Two granite peaks frame a glittering + saddle of snow, slashed the road to the border. The sky is deep blue + without clouds. The high mountain wind smells of Switzerland. + + + + Margot steps on the brakes. + + The gray Mercedes blocks the road. A tall man in a trenchcoat is + leaning against it, waiting. The sun glares silver on something in + his hand. His hat is over his eyes. + + The women get out of the convertible. + + "Go away," says Margaret. "Go away. We are rehearsing." + + The man may have nodded. It is hard to tell in the glare of the + snow. + + Margot is walking toward him. "Careful, Margot. I'm not sure he + understands." Margot touches the man's sleeve and they embrace. As he + turns in the kiss Margaret can see his profile. + + "Constantin Falcon!" she exclaims. "You're in the wrong novel!" + + They turn to her together, their arms still touching, the gesture + of old lovers. (Our gesture!) He raises his gun. + + This has gone too far. I must wake up! + + Margaret flees across the snow that lies smooth and clean in all + directions. It glitters and blinds in the sun. Red specks lie + scattered over it like drops of blood. Butterflies, dead on the snow. + She struggles to rise through sleep. + + But it is so cold. Her body lies passive before the flickering + lights. She can't seem to focus on awakening. She stumbles, falls + heavily in the snow. + + They are standing over her. + + "Go away! You're just part of my depression! I shouldn't have + been working today. I was upset about Paul. I just need some rest. + You aren't real. You can't kill me." + + "Why not?" asks the Falcon. "We already killed Paul." + + Margot brushes back a strand of hair. She smiles, revealing + small, perfect teeth. Like the teeth of a skull. + + The Falcon laughs. "Shall I shoot her now, Margot?" + + "No, dear, she doesn't own a gun." + + Margaret crawls away. She must wake up. She must escape. If I + can only reach the peak. It's the snow that's killing me. I have to + reach the rocks. But the rocks are so far away. I can hardly see + them through the glare. + + Far and away on all sides the snow lies smooth as a bedsheet. + The red disks lie scattered like stars, thicker now, more insistent. + + Behind her, she hears Margot's voice. + + "Stand up, dear. Walk to the bathroom." + + She feels her distant body rise, unplug the cords, walk slowly + across the floor. I must wake up! She struggles through the layers + of sleep, but they lie heavy on her like water. + + Far away, in a world not attached to her, she sees her hand open + the medicine chest, remove the bottle of sleeping pills. Margot's + voice floats directionless over the snow. "Pour a glass of water. + Swallow them all. All the pills." + + She sees it all happening, tiny and clear, as if through an icy + lens which sits in the back of her head and focuses her thoughts. + + This is not real. I can control this. I am just in my mind. + + And in the brainlike computer. + + No, that is ridiculous. They are not something outside. They + are not robots, or monsters. They are part of me. + + But that is the worst of it. + + I must wake up. + + She stretches her arm toward the distant rocks, forces her mind + upwards toward waking. The peak wavers and shrinks. Her hand almost + merges with that other hand, which holds the bottle. They brush, + almost catch each other. Then the lens melts. + + She sags into the snow. It warm under her body. Far away, the + other body sets down the empty bottle, walks slowly to the bedroom. + There are clean sheets on the bed. The other Margaret crawls into + bed, turns over, hugs the pillow. + + So this is what it is like. I read somewhere that death by + freezing was like sleep, and warm. Like the sleep after love. + + Lying here in the snow she can see that the red disks have become + scattered rose petals. She touches one. It lies in a little hollow + in the snow, melted by sunlight. + + Where did I get roses? she thought. I had meant them to be + butterflies. + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Barbara Weitbrecht is a marine biologist by + training, a computer specialist by profession, and + an artist and writer by avocation.

I was tempted to incorporate some of + the improvements into this month's issue, but decided against it for + two reasons. Most importantly, I wanted to maintain some consistency + within the issues of this volume. Secondly, this one was already late + enough as it was. + + Speaking of late, expect January's issue to come out in the + second half of the month. I will be gone on vacation from December 21 + through January 6, and so I won't be able to read my mail, much less + work on the magazine.

The fish-faced + stranger cautiously approached the small Mexican man and took his hand + firmly. + + "Name's Azul, Gordon Azul, and I wonder if you can do a job for + me." + + The stranger led Jesus out into the parking lot to a brand new + 1973 tan Volare. There was no licence plate on the car and it still + bore the dealer's decals upon its windows. "Caramba!" Jesus cried. + "Great wheels, man. I'll bet Nixon can't afford one of these!" The + stranger said nothing. He went to the trunk, opened it, and with- + drew a roll of technical drawings and blueprints. He brought these + over to Jesus and spread them out on the hood. + + "I want you to make some alterations," the stranger said. + + Jesus studied the drawings with care. He was not at all sure + what all the symbols stood for--he had no idea what the equations + scrawled along the margins of the document meant--but he easily + recognized most of the parts and modifications specified in the body + of the plans. + + "You want to do this to a car?!? Are you sure you don't want to + be talkin' to a rocket scientist instead of me, man? This is some + pretty weird shit. Even my brother Julio doesn't have a car that..." + + Gordon took his hands from the diagrams where they had held the + sheets spread out on the hood of the car and grabbed the Mexican's + shirt by its wide collars, hoisting him into the air. + + "Can you do it?" Gordon hissed between closed teeth. + + Startled, the little man was happy to oblige this ill-tempered + honkey. "Yeah, sure man! You pay and Jesus will play! I'll make any + changes you want--just put me down!" Gordon dropped him, turned + around, and began walking away, down the street. + + "I'll be back on Friday," he said over his shoulder. + + Jesus gathered himself up, straightened his collar, and picked up + the blueprints. As he did this, a wad of crisp C-notes fell to the + ground out of the papers. "Holy Maria," Jesus said to himself as he + walked back into the garage, crossing himself and counting his loot. + + + Jesus worked diligently over the next five days. He spent a lot + of time in the mechanical engineering section of the UCLA library, as + well as in the sections on experimental physics and applied + thermodynamics. He ordered parts from parts houses all over the + basin. A few had to come from as far away as San Diego, Chicago, and + Duluth. He spent every waking hour in the project, often working 23 + hour days. A few of the parts he had to machine himself, relying + primarily upon the technical specifications given in the blueprints. + The lamps of the garage burned continuously as Jesus shaped and + rearranged the guts of the infernal machine. As he was working, he + had no idea what end this engine was meant to perform. After he had + finished installing a set of parts, he would try out various theories + as to their function. None suited him. In all of his fifteen years + as an auto-mechanic and body man, he had never seen anything as + strange as the components he was so meticulously packing into that tan + Volare. + + By sunrise on Friday morning, the job was complete. Every + modification had been performed. Every technical specification + fulfilled. Jesus stood back and admired what he had wrought as the + early rays of the sun glinted on the chrome of his beloved. "I wonder + when the gringo will show," he wondered to himself. "Time enough for + a test drive, maybe?" "Naah, better not," he thought, remembering the + strength of his mysterious customer. "It could use some paint, + though..." + + + Gordon arrived at sunset to find a glistening tan Volare (with + three new coats of tan paint) fully equipped with front and rear + hydraulics. + + + A red stripe starting from the front fender on each side made its + way along the sides of the car, expanding and finally exploding in a + blaze of glory in red-yellow-orange flames painted on the rear + fenders. Raised, knife- blade encrusted, Spartacus-style hubcaps + finished the masterpiece. Jesus Millagros stood with his arms crossed + in pride as Gordon completely ignored every one of these cosmetic + additions. + + "Is it done?" Gordon asked bluntly. + + "Yes! She is finished!" Jesus beamed back at him. He had + expected at least some praise for the fine job he'd performed, but + none was forth- coming. + + "Good," said Gordon. "Here's your money," he said as he handed + Jesus another wad of 100's. "Get in." + + Jesus was perplexed. "Is she not beautiful, senor? Don't you + want to open her up and look her over? Her parts have been installed + just as you ordered. She is..." + + "Get in," Gordon repeated, as he opened the door and lowered + himself into the driver's seat. Jesus said nothing as he got into the + car (pausing to admire the fiery sheen of the hood as it was + illuminated by the dying rays of the sun.) Gordon started the engine, + and to Jesus, it purred beautifully, although with a dampened fury + that he'd never heard in a car before. + + "We're going for a test drive," Gordon said. "Ever been to the + Los Angeles Speedway?" + + "Sure, many times, Senor." Jesus was disgusted. Cars were his + life. He lived, ate, and breathed paint primer, axle grease, and + ether (respectively). Ever since he had worked on his first + automobile at the age of thirteen, he had always served the steel, + chrome, and glass god with a zeal that was atypical, even in his + neighborhood. This car, in which they were now passing under the + amber streetlamps of Greater L.A., had become his idol. It was + mysterious and beautiful and it seemed to have a power that was not of + this world. It had taken every bit of knowledge and expertise that + Jesus had acquired over the years to assemble this monster of + mechanical mastery. + + As they pulled into the unlit speedway, the security guard was + conspicuously absent. Gordon slowly pulled onto the track and put the + transmission in park. "Get out," he said. Jesus got out of the car. + "You're here in case anything goes wrong. I'm going to make three + laps around the track to pick up speed. Stay out of the way. I don't + want your intertia to slow me down one bit. If I haven't made the + third lap in twenty seconds or less, I want you to wave this + flashlight at me," he said handing a flashlight to the mechanic. "Got + it?" Jesus nodded his head. "Do you have a watch?" Gordon asked. + + "Several," Jesus replied. + + "Good." + + Jesus closed the passenger's door and stepped out of the way. + Gordon revved the engine several times and threw the car into gear. + The wheels squealed and the car was gone, already well into its first + lap. Jesus bit his lip. + + The small man looked at his watch. The Volare did its first lap + in sixty-one seconds. The second in thirty. Jesus swayed to the + music of the high-pitched squeal of the engine. As the car came + around for its last lap, he studied it carefully. It was going over + three- hundred miles per hour, and yet it seemed to be handling as if + it were only doing sixty. Tears welled in his eyes as he saw his + beautiful beast race by for what would be the last time. Gordon was + finishing his last lap. Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, he was almost + around... nineteen... Jesus trembled with the beauty and excitement + of the thing he had helped to bring to life. Twenty! Gordon was + around!...but he wasn't stopping. Faster and faster he went. The car + continued to race around the track, its tires beginning to glow redly. + The high- pitched wine had become a wail. The air crackled and + smelled faintly of ozone. The ground shuddered. The sky opened up. + Great hosts of angels came down and danced and flitted around Jesus' + head. Suddenly, a great wall of flame sprang up in front of the + five-speed, automatic, family-sedan-shaped demon. + + + And in an instant, it was over. + + + An explosion rocked the ground. An enormous fireball shot from + the place where the car had (apparently) collided with the barrier + wall. Flaming shards of metal and ash rained down upon Jesus' head as + he watched the brilliant demise of his beloved. All that remained was + the chassis and tires (all blown). The hydraulics had remained in + tact. The skeleton of the car sat in flames as it jerked up and down + with the nervous twitch of a decapitated insect. Other than that, all + was still--except for the crackling of the embers which rained down + upon Jesus' head. + + + * * * + + + Jesus wept. + + + * * * + + + Gordon's eyes felt as though they were going to jump out of their + sockets, turn a cartwheel in the air before him, salute, and whistle + "Dixie" in the cloud of ammonia that had coalesced about his body. + Upon his exit of the car (in 1972) the glass of the windshield had + retorn his face on each side from the edges of his mouth to his ears. + It had not taken much force to reopen the scar tissue along the sides + of his face and the auto-glass had not yet melted from the heat of the + explosion. Gordon, of course, had had nothing to fear from the + destruction wreaked by his slightly modified 1973 Volare. He had left + 1972 and was now hurtling backward through a glassy tunnel filled with + the past events of his own life. He struggled to raise his hand to + his wound. The viscous liquid that encircled him restricted his + motion and, in the end, he gave up all attempts at wiping away the + blood and simply rode the current. The life of a time-traveller is + never easy. The horrors of life: college, boot camp, and the senior + prom, hurtled past him with dizzying speed. Occasionally, a figure in + the menagerie would reach out and try to draw him into one of the + blurry scenes. Mary Jo Simpleton, summer camp, eleventh grade, + necking in the woods. Her tiny hand pressed through the walls of the + multicolored tunnel, glowing redly for an instant before receding into + the mists of time. Attempting to reorient his hurtling body, Gordon + managed to get his face up over the rest of his body, but his feet + kept wanting to fly up behind him, forcing him into a double + somersault. Finally, he managed to face forward (or backward, + temporally) in a more or less upright sitting position. + + Up ahead, at the end of the tunnel, was darkness. He was now + nearing the end of *his* portion of the journey. Scenes of his early + years were now flitting by with an ever-increasing speed so they + appeared about as dim as did his memories of those same years. From + the end of the tunnel a great wailing noise resounded. Someone was in + great pain. Suddenly, legs spread wide surrounding a large vagina + loomed before him. Would he be able to make it? "I really shouldn't + have eaten that cheeseburger in '73," Gordon thought to himself, + remembering the size and weight restrictions imposed by time travel. + He braced himself for impact. The soft material, at this speed, had + the force of hitting a brick wall at thirty miles per hour. Just + barely, he squeezed through the small opening. An instant later, + Gordon lost consciousness in the sweet taste of amniotic fluid. + + + The surgeon looked nervous behind his white mask. This woman was + far too old to be having a child. The labor had already been hell + (the last seventy-two hours of it.) However, it now looked as though + she was going to make it. + + "That's it, Mrs. Azul. Easy. Now B R E A T H ! That's good!" + A nurse blotted the sweat-covered forehead of the middle-aged woman, + whose screams and moans filled the delivery room. "We're just about + there, Mrs. Azul. Now one or two more good pushes, and we'll have + him," said the Doctor. He now took an instrument that vaguely + resembled ice-tongues and approached the birth canal. "I'm going to + have to pull him out by the head," the doctor warned. "Now, when I + give you the signal, push. OK, now, PUSH!" + + The doctor reached into the body cavity and now pulled at the + tiny head that appeared at the opening with his metal instrument. + "One more time." He almost had him, then, there was the sound of an + explosion somewhere within the body of the middle-aged woman. The + doctor lost his grip upon the baby, badly scarring its tiny face on + each side from its little blue mouth to its little blue ears. This + child would carry these scars for the rest of his life. The doctor + fell backward on the floor as the woman's body shuddered again. There + was another dampened explosion and a loud "Pop!" and suddenly the baby + shot out of the opening, flew five feet across the room, and landed in + a pile of linens that were being stored there. A nurse rushed over to + the place where the baby had landed. + + The EKG responded with a steady "Beeeeeeeeeeeeee..." The woman + was dead. Suddenly, the scream of a newborn infant's first tears + filled the room. There was much applause. + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Phillip is a senior, majoring in Philosophy at + Mississippi State University.

"I can't make you do + anything you don't want to do, and this first session will only get you + prepared for later. You won't forget anything, and it won't even seem + like you're under hypnosis." + + She nodded and smiled. "I'm not worried," she said, "I don't know + if you know it or not, but everyone at school trusts you." + + I nodded, while laughing a little bit inside. The small two-page + hypnosis guide I got from the local computer hacker was the only thing + separating me from all the other people at the high school, including + Sandy. + + "Now, I want you to sit back and relax." I took a candle out of my + desk drawer. Her eyes, which had begun to drift closed, popped open. + + "What's the candle for?" she asked, not as suspiciously as + curiously. + + What was it that the "Guide to Hypnotism" had said? + + "The candle is to, uh, relax and calm you, so your mind is more + susceptible to suggestion. That way, I can begin to prepare you for + the next session." + + "Oh, okay." She closed her eyes, and left it at that. I honestly + don't know why these people trust me. I certainly wouldn't trust + myself. + + "Now, relax and concentrate on the candle flame. Watch the flame + slowly move back and forth. As it moves back and forth, you can feel + yourself becoming calmer. All your stress leaves your body, and you + are completely relaxed. Your mind is floating free of all tensions, + and your worries have left you." My relaxing talk went on for a few + more minutes, but I was wondering if I really needed it. After all, + everybody always seemed to be completely relaxed in my presence. + + "You are now experiencing hypnosis," I said in my soft tones, "and + it does not feel in the least bit menacing. This is but the first in a + series of hypnosis sessions which will increase your self assurance and + my Biology grade. You can now open your eyes and the hypnosis session + will be concluded." + + As she opened her eyes I blew out the candle and walked over to + the window. I pulled the shade down, and it rolled back up into place + at the top of the window. Light filled the room. + + "Well, that's all for today," I said to Sandy. "We can do this + again... maybe next week?" + + "Sure, that'd be nice," she said in a relaxed tone. My little + suggestions seemed to work wonders. + + + On Wednesday, I called Sandy and asked if she could come over on + Friday. She said she could stop by for a few minutes, but she was + planning on doing things Friday night. I didn't bother to ask what. + Partying's not my kind of thing. If I lost control of my faculties, I + might let it slip that I'm not as competent as they all think I am. + And I can't let that happen. + + Friday, after school, I met Sandy on the way to the school parking + lot. I don't have a car, and it's just as well because I'd probably + wreck it in a split second. + + Now let me make this perfectly clear-- Sandy's a really nice girl, + and she's actually quite pretty, but I was never interested in her. + Really. Now, I know that guys like me always seem to have a reputation + for slobbering all over any girl who might give us the time of day, but + that's just not true. Besides, my friend Steve always had it bad for + Sandy. He wanted her. Everywhere she went, he followed. In fact, he + was the one who suggested I get Sandy as my subject. + + Do you get the impression that my hypnosis experiment wasn't + exactly based on scientific curiosity? Very smart, my friend, very + smart. Indeed it wasn't. + + So, anyway, Sandy and I got into her car, a cute little '68 + Mustang, and we drove on over to my house. She had her car radio + blasting "Tequila Sunrise" and was wearing tight blue jeans and a denim + jacket. I must tell you, I felt like quite an important guy, riding + out of the high school parking lot in a hot car, driven by a cute babe, + blasting some tunes. And we were going back to my house, no less. Not + bad. + + Then again, everyone thought I was an expert before then. No + doubt I just hypnotized her into being this way. Yeah, right. I + couldn't hypnotize a chicken into laying an egg. Hell, I couldn't + hypnotize it into clucking. + + When we got to my house and had gone inside, I pulled out my + calendar and began planning when we'd hold the next four hypnosis + sessions over the next week. Then I'd have the entire week to write up + my report and get an excellent grade in Biology. The teacher loved me, + and besides, he probably thought I was an expert too. My Biology grade + was most definitely cake. + + "Tommy," Sandy said to me in a deep, sexy voice, "I want you to + read something of mine. Would you?" + + My voice went up two octaves, but I still managed to squeak out + "Sure!" to her. Sign me up for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and fast. + Either that, or gag me and tie me to a tree. + + Sandy took a piece of paper from her purse and handed it to me. I + unfolded it and found that it was a poem. A love poem. The first + part, "My heart's passion is for you/My life breaks without you near" + was really dumb. But I liked the end bit: "Wherever you go, my Love,/I + will follow in the skies above." I mean, she rhymed love and above. + Now that's good poetry. + + "Now that's good poetry," I said to her. + + "Really? Oh, thanks, Tommy! I'm so glad you like it!" She gave + me a kiss on the cheek. Sigh. + + After we completed our little planning session and poetry + workshop, we headed for the door. As I opened my front door for her, I + began to speak out words that I had been composing for all of-- well, + all of two seconds. They dropped right out of my mouth. + + "I really want to thank you, Sandy. Without you, my Biology grade + would be in serious trouble." Yeah, sure. "And you know how hard it + would have been for me to find anyone willing to volunteer to be + hypnotized-- hypnotism scares people." Mister humble. + + She batted her eyelashes at me, in a way that made me wish Steve + was here to see it. "Oh, Tommy," she said, "every girl I know would + have done this. Anything to be able to experience you in action." I + don't know whether there was an underlying meaning to that statement, + but I was afraid to find out. + + "Oh. Well, whatever," I said. + + I guess I'm just the master of impromptu speaking. Somebody + please stop me, before I stick both of my feet in my mouth. + + She bid me farewell, muttering a typical high school "seeyalater", + and was about to turn around when my good buddy Steve, wonderful master + of timing Steve, walked up the driveway. Sandy turned around, and, + seeing him, smiled politely. She then turned around, crossed her eyes + at me, and got into her car. I guess it was her sly way of telling me + that she liked me better than him. + + Sandy had started up the car and driven out when Steve's voice + crept into my head. + + "Oh, man, she smiled at me," he was saying in his pathetic + love-induced tone which I had heard far too much for comfort. "This is + great. Now look, Tom. I called her up, begged her to call you, and + she's now your hypnosis subject. She wouldn't have done it if it + weren't for me." + + I didn't have the heart to mention about how well-loved I was, + about how all of the girls wanted me to pick them for my Biology + project. + + "So you've got to do this for me, Tom." Then he started with his + scheme. "We agreed that if I got Sandy to be your guinea pig, you'd + hypnotize her into loving me." + + "Oh, was that the plan, Steve? I seem to recall something vaguely + along those lines." I had agreed to Steve's plan, of course. If you've + been paying close attention, though, you'll realize that I had + absolutely nothing backing up that little promise of mine. Relaxing + her was going to be tough enough as it was. + + "Good. Thanks, Tom!" Steve was happy again. "Can I watch Dave + with you?" + + Sure, I told him, I'djustloveit. Watching Letterman with Steve + was a seriously lame experience. Not only were the subtleties of + Stupid Pet Tricks beyond his grasp, but even the meaning of Paul + Shaffer completely eluded him. Simpleton. + + He was probably my best friend, though, so I put up with it. + + + Saturday was a pretty lousy day, in the grand scheme of things. I + was, of course, anxiously awaiting my second special session Sunday + with Sandy. You know that any event involving that much alliteration + has gotta be good. But that was still a day away, and so my Saturday + was instead spent with Steve. What a weenie. + + I mean, first off, I had to listen to him moan and complain about + Sandy, which was bad enough. But then he conned me into going to the + movies with him. + + Going to see the new Stallone movie might sound fun to you, + especially if you've got the I.Q. of wood pulp, but to me it sounded + like no fun sent down to walk among us in human form. Come to think + of, that was Steve, too. The personification of no fun. + + So, what did I do? I went to the movies with him on Saturday + night, to see Sly blow stuff up. + + About twenty people were outside the theater, in line to see + Stallone, I guess. At the door, one of those typical employees at the + Cinema 10 was selling tickets-- he had what I could only call big hair. + Piles of it. Poofing up all over the place. There were ten screens in + the place, all about the size of a shoebox (with mono sound, no less) + and they probably had fifteen employees for those ten screens. And + they all had big hair. + + While Steve was rambling on about one thing or another, about how + "cool" it was when Stallone shot at communists or homosexuals or + whoever he shoots at, my eyes were scanning the line in front of us. I + was specifically looking at a girl, about seventeen, standing in the + middle of the line. She was about 5'6", with teased blonde hair. Her + lips were shiny with red lipstick, and her eyes were shaded with dark + blue eyeshadow. She looked great. + + From the neck down, it was even better. She was wearing a tight + blouse, her fair-sized breasts straining against the buttons. She wore + a tight leather miniskirt, which drew my attention to her legs, made + even more appealing by the black stockings she wore. And, at the + bottom, spiked heels. + + She looked at me, snapping her gum (they always snap their gum, + girls like that), and I stopped slouching, pushed my hair back from my + forehead a little, just to be subtle, and smiled at her. She smiled + back, and then licked her lips. Soft pink tongue over bright, shiny + red lipstick. I wanted her. + + And Steve was with me, damn him. + + I listened carefully when she and the two girls she was with + reached the ticket window, and discovered that they were going to see a + comedy. Thank God-- I wouldn't be able to accept a girl who actually + wanted to see Sly in action. So what if she popped her gum? + + Anyway, Steve and I bought our tickets and went into the fifth + theater. In there we found a huge collection of mental misfits, many + more than I'd ever seen before. They wore Rambo T-Shirts. One couple + sang the Over the Top theme while they arm-wrestled. + + + All of this time, of course, I was planning my escape from Steve. + I figured that if I excused myself to go to the bathroom, he'd probably + go with me. Steve was like that. If I went to get refreshments, + though, I might be able to go alone and offer to bring some back for + him. Then I was home free. + + Steve had me get him a small Coke and a medium popcorn-- he gave + me $20 to cover the Coke-and-corn. My plan worked like a charm. Of + course. It was my plan, after all. + + + The comedy that my girl had gone to see with her two friends + started five minutes after ours. In other words, while Steve sat + through the trailers-- which were no doubt advertising another movie + featuring an adult and child switching bodies, or maybe a second-rate + comedian teamed with a dog, or, better yet, a second-rate comedian + switching bodies with a puppy-- I could set about wooing my desire. + + Wooing my desire-- that's right, isn't it? That's how the Romeos, + the Don Juans of history put it, isn't it? I doubt they talked about + trying to get into a girl's pants. I really do. Talk like that was + for, uh, uncouth cretins. So I walked into the still filling theater + (it wasn't Bargain Night-- all seats $3, so it wasn't that full) and + looked for my woman and her two friends. + + They were six rows back, and three seats in. My love was on the + aisle side, and there were three empty seats next to her. I set a + course for the middle of the three empties, warp factor one Mister + Sulu, damn the (photon) torpedoes. + + I sat down in the chair. Lock phasers on charm. Then I turned + and looked at her, feigning surprise. She smiled. + + "Hi!" she said in a high voice. Well, I didn't expect poetry. + + "Hi there," I said, shrewdly, and wiggled my fingers in a sort of + low-profile, cutesy wave. + + "Aren't you Tommy Baker?" she asked me, saying my name in the way + you might say the name of a movie star. + + "How do you know that?" I asked in a semblance of modesty. How + did she know it? + + "Oh, you're kinda famous around school." She cracked her gum. + "You're hypnotizing Sandy Chambers, right?" + + "Yeah, that's me." I smiled. "What's your name?" Oh, I must be + the king of originality. + + "Trish. Trish Brooks." She paused for a second, but I was + enthralled, watching her lips, her eyes, (her breasts), and said + nothing. Fortunately, she continued. "You know, Sandy's pretty lucky. + I would have been glad to let you hypnotize me-- just for a chance to + see you in action." + + Hadn't I heard this somewhere before? + + "Wow. Thanks." Me, the master of dialogue. + + Then a thought came to mind. I don't know why I did it, but I + did. It just slipped out of my mouth, probably because of some + chemical reactions a bit lower down in my body. + + "Say," I said slyly, "I don't know about how I'm progressing with + Sandy. I might need some more data from someone else." + + She gave sort of a questioning half-smile. "Really?" + + "Sure! If you're interested, and you have some spare time during + a few evenings over the next week or so..." + + "Great!" she said, and smiled again. Those lips. Wow. We + watched the movie together, just us and her two friends. + + I've never been so glad that Stallone movies tend to run longer + than comedies. I managed to bring Steve his Coke and popcorn toward + the end of the climax. + + "Where have you been?" he asked faintly as he kept his eyes fixed + on the screen. + + "Long line," I murmured, and handed him his nourishment. He gave + an understanding grunt and left it at that. What a guy. What a moron. + + + Sandy was out like a light. I had really done it-- but, then, one + episode of Cosby would have probably done the same thing. It was a + good idea not to get cocky. + + "Imagine yourself on a cloud," I said. "You are resting + peacefully, with a slight breeze caressing your gorgeous body." I guess + positive reinforcement during hypnosis is always a good idea. + + "A tingling sensation begins to work its way through your toes, + moving slowly up through your feet, making them warm, heavy, and + relaxed." + + It was working. I could see her toes wriggling in her shoes. I + was actually hypnotizing her-- of course, all I had done was put her + feet to sleep, which wouldn't exactly get Steve a date. Unless he had + a foot fetish. + + "The cloud is soft," I continued in my New And Improved Hypnosis + Monotone, "and your body is supported by that softness." The cloud she + was lying on was actually my bed. And no, I didn't buy the Garfield + sheets-- my mother did. Besides, Sandy said that they were cute. + + "The tingling gently and slowly moves up your sexy legs, relaxing + them. Making them warm and heavy." I theorized that I could probably + have had my way with Sandy's kneecaps if I wanted to, but I was much + too big a man to do such a thing. + + "That feeling moves slowly into your, uh, chest, making your + breathing relaxed as well." With that, she let out a deep sigh, her + breasts straining against her shirt as she made her final deep + inhalation. I knew then that I should have set up the video camera. + + "And now it reaches your head. You drift away into the blue sky + as you rest blissfully in the cloud." That cloud was exactly where I + wanted her. I figured that it was about time to start the suggestions. + Sure it was. + + "On a nearby cloud," I began, "you see someone drifting toward + you. As he gets closer and closer, you see that he's unbelievably + attractive. You seem to recognize him from somewhere..." + + Sandy was breathing harder and harder. I wasn't sure if this was + the right thing to do-- besides, hypnotism wasn't meant to work so + well. I was afraid that if I suggested that the man on the cloud was + Abe Vigoda, Sandy would fall in love with him. + + Nobody should have that kind of power. + + + "You told her it was who?" + + Steve needed a little calming. I theorized that a blow to the + head with a frozen TV dinner might do the trick, but I decided to try + talking him down. + + "Tom Cruise. Don't worry about it. I decided that it was far too + soon to have her fall in love with you." I mean, I wasn't sure if I + could hypnotize anyone before, but now I was afraid that I might be too + good. + + "But why Tom Cruise?" he whined. I suppose I could have picked + some other media stud, like Val Kilmer, Kirk Cameron, William Shatner, + or Don Knotts, but I decided that Cruise would be safe. + + "I wanted to see how powerful the suggestion would be, stupid!" + Oh, yeah, big shot-- make Steve feel dumb. Choose the hard jobs. + + "So now she thinks that Tom Cruise wants her to be relaxed? Why + not have her think that he wants her to love me?" + + "You don't get it, do you, Steve? Look." I sat down next to him, + placed my hand on his shoulder, and hoped that I could keep physical + contact at a minimum. "My Biology project is supposed to be about + hypnosis relieving stress in individuals. I have to make an effort. + Besides, she's got two more sessions, on Wednesday and Friday. I've + got plenty of time to make her love you. Or want you. Or whatever you + like." + + Then Steve did something quite amazing. He smiled, let out a big + laugh, and patted me on the back. "Thanks, pal!" he said. + + It was at this point that I wondered if a nice, smart girl like + Sandy deserved a gullible dweeb like Steve, especially considering his + horrible hypnosis plot. I mean, Sandy was one of the most caring and + feeling people I had ever met. She wrote love poems. She told me that + she cries whenever she sees a movie any more dramatic than the Three + Stooges. And sometimes she cries at the Stooges, too. + + She was a beautiful person. Did I really have the right to force + her to love a guy like Steve? + + Fortunately, it was a philosophical argument that I wouldn't have + to worry too much about. I had to get ready-- in a few minutes, I + would be having a session with a girl who had teased blonde hair, wore + leather minis, and cracked her gum. + + + They were pink this time-- her lips, I mean. And she wore tight + jeans and a short top that exposed her waist. But she was still + gorgeous, and I still wanted her. + + Now, I know that I said I couldn't make someone do anything they + didn't want to. But you've got to remember, Trish told me that she'd + do anything to see me in action. So I figured that she probably liked + me already. I just had to bring it out. + + And I know what I said about easing into hypnosis gradually, over + several sessions. But things had gone so well before, with Sandy's + relaxation and Tom Cruise on the cloud, that I figured I must have this + hypnosis thing down by now. So I didn't wait-- the first time Trish + Brooks came over for a session, we worked our way around to the cloud + pretty quick. + + The guy on the cloud, the one she was amazingly attracted to, was + none other that yours truly. Who did you think I'd put on Trish + Brooks' cloud-- Don Rickles? + + After I had finished the session, counting from ten back to one, + and filling in all of my typical suggestions of rest and relaxation, + Trish didn't seem much different. I guess that she was already + interested in me, and so it didn't make much difference. + + Standing by the front door, I decided to make my move. "Trish," I + began, "I was wondering if you'd like to do something Friday night." I + was getting pretty good at this. + + "Oh--" she smiled for a second, and then frowned. "I have + something to do with my family on Friday night. It's my sister's + birthday." + + "Oh..." For a second, I thought that my hypnosis scheme was + nothing but a sham, that I was nothing but a phony, a fake, a + charlatan... + + "I'm free Saturday night. How about then?" + + ...but just for a second. + + "Saturday night would be great. How about dinner and a movie?" + + "Sounds great," she said, and licked her lips. + + I had the power. I really, really did. + + Of course, I had known it all along. + + + It was Thursday when Steve got his list of demands to me. I had + already completed my Wednesday session with Sandy, which had went well, + even if it wasn't very exciting. I wasn't getting much data for my + Biology project, but I figured that I'd wait for the final session on + Sunday night before interviewing Sandy and assembling the report. + + Steve's demands were scrawled in blunt pencil on a torn sheet of + binder paper-- it wasn't exactly neat. It looked more like a list of + demands that a terrorist might have. Except, of course, that it said + things like "Undying Affection" and "Everlasting Love", not to mention + "Faithful Devotion". It was as if the terrorists had kidnapped the + president of Hallmark Cards. + + On top of all of those demands (which he made as if he was + ordering a pizza or something), Steve required that I force Sandy to + ask him out on a date. Steve was so gutless that he couldn't even + stand asking out someone who had been bent to his will by my expertise + in hypnosis. What a weenie. + + So my Friday session with Sandy started to bother me. When we + were in her car, driving to my house, I began asking myself if I really + wanted to do this to her. Steve was just a geek, but Sandy was a + beautiful person. She didn't deserve him. + + As we walked into my house and Sandy sat down on the bed, I tried + to think of ways to explain the reasons for my not hypnotizing Sandy. + He was such an idiot that I could probably work something up by Sunday, + when the experiment ended. And he'd buy it, as usual. + + I mean, really-- who would doubt my word? + + + Sandy shifted on my bed as I began to finish my suggestions for + the day and bring her out of hypnosis. The suggestions had been + working great, too. She said that she hadn't gotten into any fights + with her parents in the past week, and that she knew that my hypnosis + was responsible. I had no way of knowing if my suggestion that she + cluck like a boneless chicken while she was in bed had worked. + + "As you awaken," I said, "You'll feel relaxed and invigorated. + You will have the confidence to do well in life and in school, the + energy to put your best effort into all that you do, and a relaxed + attitude which will keep your mind free from stress." + + I counted from 20 back to one, and then she slowly opened her + eyes. Her legs trembled a little as she threw her arms above her head + and stretched. + + "Oh, Tommy," she said, "I feel so great!" She sat up, lifting her + head from my pillow, and dangled her feet over the edge of my bed. + "You've done so much for me, Tommy," she said. "I really owe you a + lot." + + I smiled, deciding that it would be best to be the King o' + Humility in this circumstance. + + "It's no problem, really," I said. "Besides, you're helping my + Biology project along, remember? Without you, there'd be no Biology + project. You're my subject! You're the key!" + + Hey-- I had managed to be humble and throw out a big compliment at + the same time. Sometimes I impress even myself. + + "How would you like to come with me to Brad Johnson's party + tonight?" + + Brad Johnson? The most popular guy at school? + + Party? Me, invited to a party? + + With Sandy? Me, going to a party with a babe like Sandy? + + "Sure!" I said, trying not to sound too excited, but failing. + "When would be a good time?" + + "I'll pick you up at ten," she said. + + "No problem!" I smiled again. It seemed to work well. + + Sandy walked out the door, into the driveway, got in her Mustang, + and drove away. + + + I had just fast forwarded past the end of my pirated copy of + + "The Full Figured Woman's Workout" that I watched every once in a + while and was preparing to watch last night's Letterman when the phone + rang. It was Steve again, and this time he seemed more anxious than + ever. + + "I just talked to Sandy," he said. + + Uh-Oh. + + "We only talked for about a minute. She said she had to do a lot + of things before she goes out tonight." + + "Uh-huh..." I said, trying not to give anything away. + + "She didn't ask me out, Tom! Did you give her the suggestion + yet?" + + "No, not yet," I said, trying to get him back on the defensive. + "I'm still setting it up. You don't want me to blow this whole thing, + do you?" + + "You've had three sessions with her, for God's sake!" he cried. + "You should have been able to do something by now! She didn't even + want to talk with me!" + + "Everything will be fine," I lied. "You'll get your woman, Steve. + Don't worry." + + "I'd better," he said. Steve didn't seem to be buying my + explanation. "So, I'll be over at 7:30, right?" + + Huh? + + "7:30, Steve? What's at 7:30?" + + "What do you mean, what's at 7:30? I'm coming over, and we're + going to watch Rambo III!" + + "Oh... right. See you then." + + Those Rambo movies only lasted two hours. Steve would be gone by + 9:30. Plenty of time to get ready for the party. + + + Yeah, well, Steve got there late, and the movie was over two hours + long, so it finished at 9:50. At least I had enough foresight to + change into my party outfit before Steve came over. He didn't even + notice that I was wearing nice clothes. + + As soon as the movie ended, I jumped up and hit the rewind button + on my VCR. I was hoping to get him out of the house as quickly as + possible. + + There was a knock on the front door. + + Now, any normal person would probably be panicked at such a turn + of events. I mean, I was going to a party with the girl that my friend + was in love with, and he was still a little mad about the fact that I + hadn't hypnotized her into loving him. You can see where Steve's + misconceptions might lead. He might come to the conclusion that I had + hypnotized her into liking me. + + I didn't panic, though. Of course not. I would find some way + out. I could explain my way out of anything. + + "Wait here, and I'll get the door," I said. Steve always did as + he was told-- he was like a faithful dog in that respect. Actually, he + was like a dog in a lot of respects, one of which was his intelligence. + + He stayed in the room, just as I thought. + + I went to the door and opened it. It was Sandy, of course, and + she looked better than ever. She was made up a little more, because + she was going to a big party. And I was going, too. + + It was then that I figured out my grand scheme: I'd just yell to + Steve that I had to go with my mother somewhere, like to the store, and + ask him to close the door behind him when he left. A perfect plan. + + That was, of course, when Steve walked out from my room, holding + his well-worn Rambo III tape, and looked at Sandy and I with bug-eyes. + + "Sandy!" he said, shocked. "What are you doing here?" + + I was about to wince. But I didn't have enough time. + + "Tommy and I are going to a party tonight. Didn't he tell you?" + + Ouch. + + "You're what?" Steve cried. + + Like I said, you can guess the inferences he made. I had, in his + mind, used my hypnotism for evil instead of good. The ultimate comic + book sin. (I always had a hunch that comic books comprised Steve's + entire reading list.) + + After he was through yelling at me, he ran out the door, screaming + something like "Friends don't betray friends! I'll never be your + friend again, you jerk!" + + I don't remember his exact words. But you get the idea. + + Sandy actually looked a little worried, though. I tried to + reassure her. + + "Don't worry," I said. "He's a real geek-- I should have ditched + him years ago. You know what he did tonight? He wanted me to watch + Rambo III with him." I laughed. + + Sandy laughed a little, too. "Come on," she said. We started out + to the car. + + + Brad Johnson's house was filled with all sorts of popular people, + most of whom I did not know. Most of them knew me, though. I guess I + was more famous than popular. + + "Tommy Baker," one tall, well-muscled guy said, "you're the guy + who's hypnotizing Sandy!" He reached out his hand, and shook mine. + "Glad to meet you, buddy!" he said, laughed, and drank some more beer. + + "To tell you the truth," he said, "if I could hypnotize Sandy, the + first thing I'd do would be to make her take off her clothes!" He + laughed again, and slapped me on the back. + + I wanted to tell him that I wanted to use my power for good, and + not evil, but that smelled like something Steve would say. + + Sandy came walking over, then, and the guy turned to walk away. + As he passed her, he put his fist out in a thumbs-up sign, as if he + were a slimmed down, pumped up Roger Ebert (sort of an Ebert without + the daily supply of rasinets and goobers), giving me approval. + + "Are you having a good time, Tommy?" she asked. + + "Sure," I said. And I was. + + "Great!" she said, "I'm going to go get something to drink. Would + you like me to get you something?" She was being quite hospitable + toward me. I felt more and more relieved that I hadn't made her fall + in love with Steve-- especially now that Steve had shown how much of a + friend he really was. + + "Um, I'd like a Coke." I smiled. + + "Just a Coke?" + + "Yeah, just a Coke." + + She nodded, turned, and walked across the room. I kept her in my + field of vision as she walked through different groups of people. Over + at the other end of the room, she picked up a can of Coke and a bottle + of beer. Just as she was opening the beer, a girl walked up to her. + They began talking. + + Of course, I have no idea what they actually said. But I've + reconstructed the conversation by considering what happened after it + ended. So pretend that this is like In Search Of..., and I'm Leonard + Nimoy (just imagine I've got the pointed ears), and you'll be fine. + + GIRL: It was nice of you to bring Tommy to the party. + + SANDY: Well, he's been really nice, and those sessions of ours + have helped me a lot. He's done a great job. + + GIRL: Sessions? I thought that you didn't work out and that he + had to find a new subject. + + SANDY: What? Where'd you hear that? + + GIRL: From Trish Brooks. She says that she's his new subject. + + (At this point, Sandy set down her beer, an act that I am now + very grateful for. She still held my can of Coke in her hand, + however. At the same time, another girl joined in the conversation.) + + GIRL 2: Consider yourself lucky that Tommy couldn't use you. I + heard that his geeky friend Steve was going to have Tommy + hypnotize his subject into falling in love with him. + + GIRL 1: Gross! (This is an assessment that I agree with.) + + Then Sandy turned and started walking very quickly toward me, + plowing through the groups of people that she had properly skirted + around before. + + "Tommy, do you have another subject? And were you going to + hypnotize me into falling in love with Steve?" She yelled this to me + from halfway across the room. + + It was at this point that I realized that I might be in the + middle of a little confrontation. + + By the time Sandy reached me, she had about six people behind + her, three of whom were tall, strong guys. One of them was that guy + who I had talked to earlier-- the "hypnotize her naked" guy. You + remember. + + "Um-- well," I stammered, "I'm also having sessions with Trish + Brooks." + + "That slut!" one of the girls behind her muttered. + + "And Steve did want me to hypnotize you into loving him..." + + I was going to use my diplomatic skills to explain how I had + evaluated the situation and decided to use my abilities for good, and + not evil, but I didn't have the time. + + That was when Sandy threw that can of Coke at me. So now you see + why I'm glad she set down the beer. Aluminum is lighter than glass. + + Then those big guys started advancing on me, as if I had insulted + Sandy by even considering to hypnotize her into loving Steve. As if I + had hurt her by adding Trish as a second subject. + + I mean, Mister "hypnotize her naked" was even coming to get me. + As if he was any better than me. What a hypocrite. + + Nevertheless, he was a big hypocrite, and I've been 5'8" for + quite a while now. So I did the intelligent thing, and ran for my + life. + + I got home at about 12:30. The moment I walked in the room, the + VCR began taping David Letterman. + + As I slid into bed, I considered the day's events. + + It wasn't so bad a day. + + I had ridden myself of that geek, Steve. He would no longer + plague me with Sylvester Stallone. The can of Coke only hit me in the + shoulder, so I wasn't visibly scarred. Sandy had found out about the + true plan behind my hypnosis project, which meant that it would get + back to my Biology teacher. I suppose it might hurt my Biology grade, + especially if I had no project to turn in at all. + + But what do I care? I mean, really. I'm still me, the same guy + I've always been. I'm still well known around the school, and I was + able to control a girl's desires through hypnosis. + + And better yet, I had a date the next night. + + So what if she cracks her gum? + + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Jason Snell is a sophomore at UC San Diego, + majoring in Communication with a possible double + major in either Media or Writing.

It was the only thing that let him let off steam from work. + Ever since taking that promotion to first-level manager, things had + only gotten worse. When he was just a programmer, all he had to do + was get the job done. As a manager, he had to meet unreasonable + deadlines, deal with the financial analysts, make sure the legal + department had okayed everything, listen to his employee's complaints, + excuses, and demands and still meet his personal goals. No wonder + some of them took the Concrete Swan Dive. + + He checked his posture. Gotta be careful, he thought. If you + looked nervous, you were a prime target and the gangs would rip you. + If you looked tough, the gangs would still rip you, to see if you + really were tough. Unless you could fight them off or run faster than + they could, you'd end up the same way. Red Stain Street. + + The streets hadn't been cleaned in years. They held the stench + of millions of bodily excretions, intentional and otherwise. The + concrete absorbed it all, mixed them into an exquisite odor, and + infused the air with it. Johnny didn't know how the beggars could + take it. Every so often, some new wretches would try to make it on + the streets. Many of them ended up dead, or worse. Food was + sometimes hard to find. + + He punched his codeword into the door lock and slid it open. + Home, sweet home, Johnny snorted. The apartment, more like a rabbit + hutch he thought, was just large enough for a person to stay sane. It + consisted of a small main room, a tiny bathroom and small kitchenette. + A thin mattress occupied one corner, nearly buried beneath a pile of + dirty clothes. A plastic desk, almost too large to fit separated the + bed from the rest of the room. With it went a stained and old chair. + The only item of obvious value sat upon the desk -- his deck. + + Stepping over piles of dishes, making sure not to spill their + contents onto the floor, Johnny threw his backpack on the bed. Last + time, the spoiled food damned near burned through the plastic. + Fortunately, it had only left a dark brown spot on the floor. + Selecting a not too dirty shirt and shorts, he put them on and sat in + the chair. + + He ran his hands along the deck's smooth worn sides. It wasn't a + top of the line model, but it was good enough, he thought. Ripping + out a new set of diamond fiber patchcords, he plugged one end into the + deck, the other into the sockets on the backs of his hands. The + sockets were unnecessary and were expensive as hell, but Johnny had + had them since his college days. It was a mark of pride to him. + + He felt them seat firmly. He powered on the deck and adjusted + himself in his chair, making sure that his head wouldn't fall and his + neck get stiff. + + The Blind Spot slowly grew and surrounded him. After a few more + seconds, he was in. + + Information technology had come a long way since Gutenburg first + perfected the printing press. Information, originally kept in the + minds of people, could now be stored on paper. As science and + technology improved, information was stored magnetically, then + optically, finally holographically, although biologically stored + information was "coming soon." In this day and age, print truly was + dead. + + So too had the way people accessed information. With + bio-technology, direct links to the brain were possible. Electrical + stimulus to the optic nerve made words and pictures appear before + one's eyes. Similar stimuli to the other major nerves created + illusions of sounds, smells, tastes, and touches. + + What shall I be tonight, he asked himself. While out in the Net, + he could, through the correct programming, make himself look to others + like anyone he could imagine. He settled on his usual persona, + himself with some cosmetic defects erased. He was comfortable in it, + like a favorite pair of pants. It also meant he didn't have to + role-play or over-play any specific caricature. + + He'd been out countless numbers of times, yet it was always a + thrill. Leaving his home node, he entered the Net. + + A comfortable darkness surrounded him; then suddenly a thousand + and more brightly lit points, other data on the Net, appeared before + him; like fireflies, they were constantly in motion. There were so + many of them, you couldn't discern a pattern. It looked like chaos + itself. + + Though potentially as infinite as space itself, the Net reflected + the thoughts of those who'd given birth to it. He was almost + completely surrounded by the many structures that seemed to form a + tunnel surrounding the main routes, partially protecting newcomers + from acrophobia, though it was not the sky that caused the fear, but + rather the Net itself. + + Pundits called the Net an electronic counterpart to the human + circulatory system. Data packets were the red blood cells, holding + the vital information, transferring it from one "cell" to another, in + much the same way as the real one transferred oxygen. The analogy + broke down in two places. The Net's pathways were bidirectional, and + users were considerable more than mere red-blood cells. + + As Johnny traversed the Net's routes, he could see the myriad + institutions that lined this portion of the Net. The highly + symmetrical and sterile multinational subnetworks, the more loosely + arranged but just as large universities and research centers, and the + small fry, the haphazard public networks. + + He went at his usual pace, checking if anything new had been + added, something worth checking out. There was nothing new this time, + which surprised him. Normally the turnover rate was pretty high. + + He stayed on the normal routes. Stray too far and you might get + lost permanently, as though the red blood cell decided to take a tour + of the rest of the human body. A very few had gotten lost and made + their way back, telling stories of demons, which were definitely not + believed. + + He was also very careful not to approach certain nodes too + closely. Though quiescent enough now, if approached the wrong way, + especially the multinationals, their defensive sub-systems would + activate. Johnny had heard that some of the ultra-secure networks + used defense systems that erased yet another line between biology and + technology. Their security resembled the immune system. Special + drones would check how you were organized. If you didn't have the + right antigens, then antibodies would be produced to neutralize you. + Flatline EKG. + + Johnny arrived in what was the electronic equivalent of Downtown. + Huge glowing signs beckoned to the Net travelers. Their barker + programs endlessly repeated the same spiel: "You won't find a better + sensory stimulus simulation anywhere else! Anything you want to do, + anyone you want to be! For only a minor charge, you too...." + + He passed them by, like he always did. They were traps, he'd + decided long ago. They'd suck you in and fleece you for all your + credit before you could blink. He switched at the next nexus and + arrived at his destination: Chuqui's. + + Nobody seemed to know if Chuqui was real or an AI. He was always + there, 24 hours a day, but no AI had yet passed the Petersen test. + + The decor was different every night. Chuqui's looked like what + Chuqui wanted it to look like. Tonight it looked like Chuqui was in a + nostalgic mood. It was a combination bar and restaurant, the kind + that you found in the late Eighties or early Nineties. Period music + filled the air. The smell of fine wood grain and sizzling meat filled + the air. + + "Hey Johnny, how are you?" asked Chuqui. He always recognized + everyone. Johnny wasn't quite sure how he did it. After hearing + about Chuqui's unusual talent, Johnny had tried using different + personas to fool Chuqui: he'd even come in as a woman once. Chuqui + always saw through it. So he just gave up trying. + + "Fine, Chuqui, just fine," he replied. "Any action going on + here?" + + "No, not really. The usual?" Johnny nodded in reply. + + He walked past the bar that lined one side of the room, mementoes + of past dreams hanging on the wall above it, into a section of + restaurant stools lining two walls. You could watch the people across + the aisle watching you in the mirrors. Beyond that, a multi-layered + area with both booths and tables. + + Johnny found himself a table and drank in the atmosphere. Chuqui + brought him his dinner. He smelled real steak, not the yeast he + usually ate. And his drink was a golden-colored beer in a frosted + mug. + + He looked up from his plate and discovered that someone was + watching him from a booth near one corner. Johnny was sure that the + booth had been empty when he'd come in. And he hadn't seen anyone sit + down there. No matter, he thought, there were plenty of back doors + into Chuqui's and some people preferred not to walk in. + + She was beautiful. Her brown eyes had small epicanthic folds, + with long lashes. Her hair was long and raven, bangs spilling forward + over her face. Her skin was perfectly smooth and tanned and her teeth + were a sparkling white, set in a smile between scarlet lips. She was + dressed in a shiny velvet-black dress, which was cut low enough to + reveal the swell of perfectly formed breasts. She smiled and winked + at him. + + Johnny walked over to the booth and sat down across from her. He + caught a whiff of something indescribable which jolted his pleasure + center like an electric current. He had never smelled anything like + it before. But it was recognizable all the same. It was the + indescribable scent of woman. + + "Hello", he said. He'd learned long ago that snappy pick-up + lines often didn't. + + "Hello yourself", she replied. Her voice was low and husky. A + corner of her lips twisted upwards in a small smile. + + "What do you think of Chuqui's tonight?" It never hurt to talk + about the place they were at. + + "This is the first time I've seen it like this. Do you come here + often?" + + "Yes, it's one of my favorite places. He always seems to come up + with the most interesting decors." + + "You call Chuqui a 'he'. Rumor has it that Chuqui is an AI. Do + you know what I think?" The last was in a playful voice. + + "No, what do you think", in the same playful tone. + + "I think it's a computer with a human brain connected to it. An + experiment in permanent man-machine symbiosis. A rather powerful + tool, the computer's speed with a human's intuition. What do you + think?" + + "That's an interesting theory. But what about sleep? A man + can't stay awake forever, and some people I know have stayed with + Chuqui for ten days straight. If he was human, he'd have gone crazy." + + "Well, I'd be willing to bet that they didn't keep him constantly + occupied. That'd be how he could get sleep. A "Russian Sleep" + inducer implanted in the brain. Instant deep sleep for seconds or + minutes at a time. Granted, Russian Sleep isn't REM sleep, but the + computer could take over for an hour or two to cover for him." + + It wasn't until some time later that Johnny noticed that he + wasn't intimidated by her intelligence. Her theory was interesting, + and she seemed to have thought it out completely. He was totally at + ease with her. And those beautiful eyes continued to look at him, and + that mouth still framed that smile. + + Chuqui brought a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket that Johnny + didn't remember ordering. He expertly cracked it open and together + they shared the bubbly sweetness. + + After finishing the bottle, he asked the inevitable question, + knowing she'd say yes. + + They left Chuqui's and went over to a nearby love hotel. For a + fee, two or more people could rent a room by the hour or for the + night. The room was tastefully done, and looked much like an + expensive hotel suite. + + They kissed, his tongue and hers nuzzling, his pleasure center + being jolted repeatedly. Then she stepped back and shrugged out of + her dress. Johnny was not surprised to find that besides the dress + and her shoes, she wore nothing else. He caressed her silky skin + while she undressed him. Then she gently pushed him onto the bed and + she straddled on top of him. + + They moved together as men and women had done for thousands of + years. As they got closer and closer to the explosion, she seemed to + blaze like an aurora borealis. + + He fell asleep with her head on his chest, his arm laid across + her smooth back. + + Johnny woke up back in his seat, his chin on his chest, his neck + painfully stretched. He jacked out and switched off the deck. + + After stretching the kinks out of his neck, he took a shower, two + one-minute blasts of tepid water. It felt oily and only slightly + brown. Putting on the same shirt and tie as yesterday, he + hop-scotched his way back to the door and left. Time for another + lousy day at work.

After all, this magazine +is supposed to be monthly, right? + +Excuse number 1: Winter Break. I lost a couple of weeks of good +word-crunching time while I was away from school, visiting my family. + +Excuse number 2: The New Look. The PostScript edition of Athene now +is greatly improved over the older style, and the changes took about one +week to complete. For one thing, I started using a newer release of the +publishing software, which was substantially different from the older +release. So I had to learn how to use all of its now features, and +also learn the new ways to accomplish the old familiar tasks. + +Those who read the flat text versions will probably not notice too +much of a difference -- there is only so much one can do with straight +ASCII. Sadly, about 80% of the subscribers never see how nice the +laser-ready magazine looks. The PostScript version is the form I consider +the "true" Athene, and I start working on the ASCII version only after +I have the ps release available to serve as a model. + +So, this issue was delayed long enough to make it more like a February +release, and that's how it will be labeled this time. + +I can foresee this style of journal becoming very popular in the +near future, now that high-resolution printing and display devices are +becoming so commonplace. At the moment, I am only aware of one other +magazine that is distributed preformatted, in some page description +language like PostScript. That magazine is Quanta, a close relative of +Athene that specializes in science-fiction-related topics. +But there seems to no reason to stop at just fiction journals. It would +be nice to see all sorts of magazines distributed this way, catering +to a fantastic variety of interests. There is really no reason why this +shouldn't happen over the next few years. + +In any case, here we are today with the first issue in a new volume of +this magazine. I hope that, with occasional feedback from the subscribers, +we can set a standard for excellence that will help to make this medium +more commonplace and respected. + + + + + Cops, Cabs and a Decent Pastrami Sandwich + By Craig Schlechter + cs4d+@andrew.cmu.edu + Copyright 1989 by Craig Schlechter + ====================================================================== + + It was midnight, and Gabrielle and I were standing on the corner + of Grant Avenue and 79th Street. She had the umbrella, and I was + soaked. I was standing against a building, but that didn't stop the + rain from hitting me. I pushed my suitcase further towards her, to + keep it dry. A car in the distance shone its lights on the back of + her head, making her hair glow with a bright yellow aura, while hiding + her face in shadow. I wasn't ready for this, and the first thing it + reminded me of was an image of the Angel of Death from some late movie + I'd seen. Then the car drove by, and I could see her smiling, + wide-eyed. It was midnight and raining and we'd been waiting for a + bus for the past hour, and still she looked so happy, like there + wasn't anything else in the world she'd rather be doing. + + Gabrielle was a strange girl. I'm not talking specifically about + her looks, although they were a bit unusual. She had a very round + face. Not just the shape of her head, but the cut of her hair, the + curve of her cheeks. Even the concave slope of her nose seemed to add + to the roundness. And especially her huge dark eyes, circled by + round-framed glasses. I couldn't tell you if the rest of her body was + similarly round, because she always wore layers of formless, baggy + clothes to hide her figure. + + What I really found strange about Gabrielle, though, was her + outlook on life. It was as if she had been in a coma for the entire + time between her eighth and eighteenth birthday. Nothing seemed to + get her angry. She could get condescending and preachy if you didn't + agree with her, but she would never argue. Of course, that's because + she would never listen to what the other person had to say. Before I + met her, I'd never known anyone who sincerely believed that God looked + out for the `pure of heart'. I'm Jewish, and to me, the existence of + this kind of naivete in the 1980's is nothing short of incredible. + One of the first things I learned, back when I was seven and our pet + collie got sick and died, was that life is not fair. That's the + cornerstone of Jewish belief. So when I see that someone has written + a novel about "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People," I just have to + laugh. + + I remember being invited to a party her roommates were throwing + for her. It was her nineteenth birthday, and I had been invited even + though I didn't know her all that well. I made her a gag gift. I had + taken a "Beware of Dog" sign and switched the letters so that it read, + "Beware of God". She loved it. She put it up outside her house, and + it's still there. I guess she thinks anyone who tries to break into + her house will get struck by lightning or something. Well, the only + thing I really remember about that party was that during a lull at the + beginning, when everyone else was getting everything set up, Gabrielle + said to me, "So, Craig, are you eating right?" I asked her what she + meant, and she said, "You know, three square meals a day." I assured + her that I was. She said this was good. I was tempted to ask her why + she wanted to know, but then some guests arrived and the party got + started. + + So what was I doing there, soaking wet, staring up into the + street lamp, waiting on that corner with Gabrielle? Well, I hadn't + planned on it. Thanksgiving Break was over, and I was returning to + school. My train had gotten into the station five hours later than + scheduled due to some blockage on the tracks. I happened to run into + her at the station; she had just come in from South Carolina. Her + parents had seen her off, and she had brought explicit written + instructions on which bus to take to get back to our campus. + Unfortunately, her train had arrived late also, and the bus on her + list, the 44B, didn't run after ten o'clock. + + I suggested we get a cab. She said that she didn't have enough + money, and it was foolish to pay ten dollars each when the bus could + make the trip for a dollar and fifty cents. I couldn't just leave her + there, so I said okay, we'll take the bus. The guy at the information + desk told us about another route we could take (the 49A), with only + two transfers required (the 45C and 44A.) She wrote it all down on + that little piece of paper, which I noticed had her name and address + in gold lettering at the top. + + I had a bad feeling as I got off that first bus. The driver + seemed surprised that we were asking for transfers. I could have + sworn I heard him laugh as he drove off, but Gabrielle assured me it + was the sound of exhaust from the bus. + + And an hour later, we were still there, on the corner of Fifth + and 79, waiting for a bus I knew in my heart would never come. I was + now certain that the 45C existed only in the imagination of the + Department of Mass Transportation. You know, like the Flying Dutchman + or something, a bus spoken of only in whispers, that appears out of + the fog, then rolls off into the distance. I pictured Charon the + Ferryman from the Greek myths, who ushers dead souls across the River + Styx to the underworld, I could see him in the driver's seat. He had + a blue bus driver's cap covering the shiny bone at the top of his + skull. His hand, like a misshapen cluster of Kellogg's Rice Krispies, + pointed down the aisle, and a voice like steel scraping steel said, + "Come on in, Craig. Plenty of room." + + "The bus is real late," Gabrielle said. + + "Yes, it is," I said. Cautiously, I added, "Look, there's a taxi + down there." + + It was really easy to catch any movement on the streets, since + the only thing out that night besides Gabrielle and I was the rain. + Off in the distance, I could see a yellow car approaching, the rain + glistening in its headlights. Actually, I could tell it was a taxi + before I saw what color it was, simply by the way he was driving. + + "Um," she said. I knew what that meant. Every time I even + hinted that we give up waiting and find a cab, she refused. She was + downright indignant about it. When I asked her why, all she would say + was, "If God had meant for me to take a taxi, there wouldn't be a bus + route leading right to my door." + + It didn't really make much difference, anyway. The cab I saw was + off-duty. For the past half an hour, all the taxis that passed by + were off-duty, or full of passengers. That's the way the city works. + The three things in the city you can't find when you need them are + cops, cabs and a decent pastrami sandwich. It never fails. + + I was getting tired of standing in the rain. The only sound was + the splatter of water and the hissing of cars in the distance. It + would have been easy enough to start up a conversation with Gabrielle, + but to tell the truth, I was afraid to. Talking to Gabrielle is like + playing verbal Russian Roulette. Sooner or later, you're going to say + something that she will find offensive, and your conversation turns + into a sermon. It could be anything, from a food that she finds + `yucky' to a book she thinks is `blasphemous'. + + I yawned, and when I opened my eyes, this taxi was pulling up in + front of us, nearly running into the lamp post but neatly avoiding it. + I had no idea where it had come from. Actually, just calling it a + taxi doesn't do the car justice. It was a jalopy. I don't know much + about cars, but I can tell a jalopy when I see one. Dark orange rust + coated the bottom of the car, like diseased fringe. The front fender + was completely missing, and it had taken the headlight with it. There + was a huge dent in the back door, and a piece of clear plastic was + taped across the window. It had the typical checkered pattern along + the side, but the sign on the roof had been smashed off. + + The driver leaned over to the passenger window and rolled it + down. He was a thin-faced man, wearing a ratty sheepskin coat. His + hair was slicked back, and two gold teeth flashed out from a + carnivorous grin. He had thick eyebrows, and his eyes were set so + deep, you couldn't see them. + + "You two need a ride?" he asked. + + I nearly burst out laughing. As far as I was concerned, it + didn't matter if this guy were pulling a rickshaw. I'd be damned if I + was going to wait out in the rain for another hour. Here was my + ticket home, how could I refuse? + + As I opened my mouth, Gabrielle piped up. "No, thank you, + mister," she said. + + "Hey," the man said. "A nice lady like yourself shouldn't be + standing out in the rain this late at night. Come on, I'll take you + anywhere you want to go." + + I could see she was starting to stretch her lips, forming the + word "No". If she used that magic word, our ride to safety would + disappear, leaving us stranded. + + "Listen, Gabrielle," I said. "It's late, I'm cold and I'm wet. + All I want to do is go home. Now. I'll pay for the taxi, the whole + thing. I don't care anymore. Let's just get out of here. Okay?" + + She stood there, thinking. I tried to look as wet and miserable + as possible. + + "Well, alright," she said. + + The driver popped the trunk open and I put our suitcases in. + Gabrielle sat in the front seat, I took the back. I wasn't surprised + at the condition of the interior. The seat covers were torn, and + graffiti was scribbled all over the back of the seats. There was a + plexiglass divider between the front and back, with a small opening in + the center. The plexiglass was covered with stains I didn't even want + to try and identify. + + I was a bit surprised that the driver had allowed Gabrielle to + take the front seat, but I wasn't going to argue. It was like now, I + didn't feel obligated to act like I was having a good time. Every + time I saw her smiling on that bus stop, she seemed to be saying, + "Aren't you having fun?" After just five minutes of it, I was ready to + ask her "What's so goddamned fun about this?" + + The driver turned around and asked me where we were going. I + didn't even get a word out. Gabrielle told him the name of the + college, and the nearest major street, and several of the larger + intersections near campus, until he said "Okay, I know where that is." + + I looked through the hole in the plexiglass, just to make sure + there wasn't anything vital missing up front, like the steering wheel. + That was there, but half the dashboard was gone. Something else was + missing as well, but I couldn't quite place it. It wasn't until he + started the engine that I realized that the cab didn't have a meter. + There wasn't even a CB radio on what remained of the dashboard. + + So, I said, "Uh, excuse me...how much is this going to cost?" + + "Oh, twenty-five dollars," he said. That was a little more than + what I had expected, but I wasn't about to go back to waiting in the + rain for the Phantom Bus 45C. + + And with a screech of tires, we were off. + + I had learned my city etiquette lessons a long time ago. Number + one was, when you're walking down the street, never make eye contact + with anyone. There's crazy people out there who will yell at you if + you look at them `wrong'. When I was fourteen, a friend and I were + just walking along, minding our own business, when this old man walked + right up to us. He started yelling at my friend, "You got a problem + or something, you got a problem?" All my friend was guilty of was + looking at this deranged man as we walked past him. So, I learned + that rule really well. The second rule, and I'm not sure who taught + me this, was to keep conversation with cab drivers down to a minimum. + I think it's because the less you open your mouth, the less chance + you'll reveal that you're just a tourist, that you don't live in the + city. This is important, because there are plenty of cabbies out + there who will try and cheat passengers who don't know any better. + + That was why I was keeping my mouth shut, not to mention the fact + that being sealed off from the front seat as if I were in a police car + didn't encourage conversation. Unfortunately, Gabrielle's from South + Carolina, and hadn't even been to a large city until she was eighteen. + Right after she fastened her seat belt, which even the driver hadn't + done, she proceeded to start up a conversation. We soon learned that + our driver's name was Chico. He told us rather emphatically that he + didn't work full-time as a cabbie. He only needed to make an extra + hundred dollars or so to pay for his car insurance. + + Meanwhile, I looked out the windshield, and noticed that he was + driving on the left side, on the wrong side of the road. He breezed + right through a red light, and I saw headlights in the distance, + coming straight towards us. I remembered the taxi's broken headlight. + The car ahead honked, God knows how he saw us coming, and Chico slid + calmly back to the right side of the road, completely innocent, as if + he were just changing lanes. + + Chico was still talking, he didn't even break rhythm. He said, + "No, most of the time, I work in movies. I'm an extra, you know, for + those action movies. There's this company called Toughs, that's where + I work. Whenever Stallone or Schwarzenegger needs some bad guys, you + know, some enemy soldiers to kill, they go to Toughs. It's great, I + was in Raw Deal. It's just there's not a lot of work right now, so + I'm doing this." + + And all this time, I was thinking, only a hundred dollars for + this maniac's car insurance! + + By now I felt like I was on some demented carnival ride. The + whole situation, with Chico the Cannon Fodder at the wheel, driving as + if he was the last person alive in the entire city, was almost + surreal. I couldn't believe it was really happening. I was expecting + to see little cardboard pictures of Mr. Badger and the Weasel gang + pop up, like in Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disney World. Only it would + be cutouts of women with shopping carts, businessmen dropping their + attaches, all with crazed looks of horror on their faces. That's why + I wasn't afraid. I was so sure that any moment, the car would stop, + and the doors would automatically open, and we would step out and be + home. + + "This is the turn-off, up ahead," Gabrielle said. I looked out + the window. We were almost home. + + "Okay, that'll be fifty bucks," Chico said. + + I reminded him that he had said the trip would only cost + twenty-five dollars. + + "Each," Chico said. + + "That's crazy," I said, "I won't give you fifty." + + "Stop at the blue house," said Gabrielle. "The one with the big + bright light on in front." + + "You want to go home, it's fifty bucks," Chico said. + + "Look," I said, "you told us twenty-five dollars. I wouldn't + have done this if you had told us twenty-five each." + + "This one this one this one here on the left," Gabrielle said. + + "No, man, it's fifty." + + "Sorry, I ain't giving you fifty." + + Chico slammed his foot to the floor, and we sped off. + + "You passed it!" Gabrielle said. + + "Fifty bucks," Chico said, "or I take you right back to where I + picked you up." + + I really think he meant it, too. I think he would have driven + all the way back and left us there, if Gabrielle hadn't been...well, + hadn't been Gabrielle. She started insisting that he turn back around + and let us off. He shouted back about how we shouldn't have gotten + into the cab if we were going to try and cheat him. He was paying + almost no attention to the road, just driving in a straight line, away + from her house. They yelled back and forth, and I was lost. I mean, + I still thought that this was a big amusement park ride, but now with + a bigger price of admission. + + I think that if Gabrielle had kept quiet, he would have gone all + the way back into the city and left us. Instead, he turned into an + alley and screeched the car to a stop. I sat there in the dark for a + moment, still not sure if this was really happening. I looked up at + Chico. He was holding something, a dull grey metal thing. + + "Have to do things the hard way, right?" Chico said. I leaned + forward to get a better look, then flew back. It was a gun, and he + was pointing it at Gabrielle. "Okay, lady, drop your purse and get + out. And you too, asshole. Just throw your wallet through the glass + here and get out." He tapped on the plexiglass angrily. + + It took a moment for me to realize that I was staring through a + sheet of plexiglass at a short greasy-haired man holding a gun. My + first thought was, is that a real gun? I quickly decided that I + wasn't going to find out. The next thing I thought was, is this + plexiglass bullet-proof? It didn't matter. He wasn't pointing the + gun at me, only at Gabrielle. + + I've been mugged before, but never at gunpoint. Being robbed by + guys with knives isn't as frightening. It's a lot easier to kill with + a gun. I pulled out my wallet, and popped it through into the front + seat. + + "Okay, lady," he said. "Let go of your purse." + + She didn't. She looked him right in the eye and said, "You can't + do this. You just can't." + + "What are you talking about?" he said, a bit taken aback, "I can + do whatever I want." + + "No, you can't mean this. Put that away, you don't mean this." + + He lifted the gun out the window, and fired a shot like a + thunderclap. + + "He means it!" I said, as I shoved the door open. "Give him your + goddamn purse." + + Gabrielle flew out the door, and landed on the sidewalk. I + barely got my leg through when Chico drove off, down into the heavy + darkness of the alley. In a second, all you could hear was his motor. + I sat there in a daze, listening to it fade into the distance. + + Gabrielle was going to be furious, I knew. After all, this was + all my fault. If I hadn't insisted that we take a taxi home, if we + had just waited for the bus like God had intended her to, this would + never have happened. Now, she had lost not only her purse, but her + luggage as well. I remembered something Buster Keaton had once said, + "The best way to fight a woman is with your hat. Grab it and run." I + was considering the merits of this solution when I heard Gabrielle + start to cry. + + I looked over to her. She was sitting on the sidewalk hugging + her knees, and trying unsuccessfully to hold back her tears. "Oh, + God," she said in a shaky voice, "Oh God, oh God, oh God..." + + She fell silent, and I couldn't think of anything to say. I felt + like I should say, "It's alright," but it wasn't alright. We had both + been robbed and dumped here, and she was getting all wet now, and it + was not alright. + + Oh, God," she said, and I thought that would be it, but she + added, "What happened? God, what happened, why? What did I do?" + + And then I understood. Here was a girl who had lived such a + sheltered life, she really believed God was watching over her. She + did all her work in school, and got very good grades. I had met her + parents one time when they came to visit her. They were almost + stereotypical God-fearing southern folks. For nineteen years, her + Lord provided for her, gave her good parents and let her get into good + schools, made good things happen. But now, to her mind, God had + turned. God let her get into that car. God let Chico take everything + she was carrying. All the crime and death going on in the world + around her, and none of it had actually touched her until now. + + I suddenly thought, "About time something like this happened to + her. She had to learn what the real world is like sooner or later." + And I believed it, but I hated myself for thinking it. She hadn't + deserved it. Neither had I, for that matter. How could I possibly + tell her that this was for the best, that it was a learning + experience? A chill ran down my back, and I shivered. I had to say + something. + + So I said, "Look, there's Center Avenue. Come on, let's get out + of here. We'll go to your house, and call the cops." + + I offered her my hand. She wiped her eyes and looked up. I + helped her to her feet. A neon sign across the street blinked, then + went out. + + "How," she started to say, then choked up. She cleared her + throat. "How can you take this so...so easily?" + + I said, "Listen, we Jews have been suffering for thousands of + years. In Ancient Egypt, we were slaves. In the Middle Ages, we had + the Inquisition. In World War II, we had the Holocaust. This is a + piece of cake." + + She laughed, then looked across the street. There was a deli + over there. It was open until the wee hours of the morning, since it + was so close to a college campus. + + She said, "You know, I'm really hungry all of a sudden." + + I reached down to my ankle. + + "Rule number three of city etiquette," I said, "is to always + carry a spare ten dollar bill in your shoe." + + I pulled the crumpled bill out, and waved it in front of her. + She held her nose and said, "Ugh, don't get it too close, if it's been + in your shoe all day it must stink!" + + "Come on, wise guy," I said, "Let's get something to eat. Just + don't order pastrami." + + + + + Ouroboros Annie + By Jason Snell + pa1033%sdcc13@ucsd.edu + Copyright 1989 by Jason Snell + ====================================================================== + + OUROBOROS: The mythical serpent which eats its own tail, + a symbol of the unending cycle of the universe. + + Where Annie went, it seemed, she left a trail of broken hearts in + her wake. It wasn't as if she didn't care, wasn't as if she had no + feelings about the men who fell in love with her-- in fact, she loved + them, too, in various ways and varying degrees. It hurt Annie, when + she left them. It had always been her doing-- she was the one to + sense the end before it came, the one who felt life pressing on her + back like a five-hundred-pound weight. + + The end hurt them, all of them, and Annie was always the one who + caused the end. It was their pain-- that was what hurt Annie. It + hurt her deep down inside, in the part of her heart reserved for love, + for tenderness, the part of her heart she treasured the most. At + times, it felt like her heart would break. + + But it didn't. Though it hurt like hell sometimes, she always + got through it. Again, and again. She knew the hurt would always + come at the end-- but she did it anyway. The hurting part of her + heart had to heal, and love was the only thing that could heal it. + The problem was that love was what caused the damage in the first + place. It was an endless cycle-- Annie loving, them hurting, her + hurting, and then Annie loving again. + + At least, it seemed endless. It wasn't, really. I'm afraid that + I was the one who saw to that. There is no such thing as an endless + cycle. + + + I've noticed something funny about love, about people and + attraction-- sometimes, the people you always expect to end up with + you, the ones you @know@ will end up with you, don't. And the ones + you don't expect at all, they're the ones that do. It was kind of + that way between Annie and I. + + Have you ever heard of instant attraction? "Love-At-First- + Sight," as the movies call it? I was thinking about that very subject + when I met Annie. One night I was at a party, talking to a friend, + when this woman, fairly nondescript, with brownish hair, walked up to + me. + + I was definitely thinking about love at first sight. Actually, + my precise thoughts were: "I wish I could experience love at first + sight. Instead, all I meet are women like this." + + Annie and I didn't hit it off. She was a nonentity to me, and I + was a nothing to her. + + The next week, at another party hosted by the same group of + friends, we were introduced to each other. And, several times that + evening, we were forced to speak with each other. It turned out that + we had quite a few mutual friends. + + So I got to know her better. And I actually liked her. She + seemed very confident, like she knew exactly what she wanted. I had + no reason to doubt that. And I noticed something very funny about + her-- she wasn't nondescript, after all. She was actually somewhat + pretty. And her brownish hair had a slight red tint to it. + + We were the last people to leave when the party was over that + night, and as I walked her out to her car, we kept on talking. About + all sorts of things. And, somewhere in our conversation, Annie + changed again. It wasn't as much of a physical change, this time, as + much as a personality change. When I started talking to her, it was + clear to me that Annie knew exactly what she wanted from life. But + then she softened. And I saw her as being vulnerable, as being a + confused woman with a lot of wide-eyed little girl running around + loose inside of her. + + I guess that's how she does it. Time and again, the softening + will do it. I know that as soon as I saw that girl, I wanted more + than anything to let her escape from the self-confident wall that + Annie had built to protect herself. + + + I got the little girl out, finally, after talking with Annie on + the phone any number of times, going out to dinner with her, and + spending a lot of time with her. We were good friends-- good enough, + anyway, for her to drop her confidence and let me see who she really + was. The self-confidence was a part of her, of course. But there was + something more. I wanted to see all of her. + + And, one night, while we were sitting on her couch talking, a + beautiful little red-haired girl popped out of nowhere. It was then + that I saw all of Annie-- the nervous, curious, childlike wonder of + the little girl and the sensual, self-confident woman. + + And when I kissed her, I felt a shudder of relief come from her + body. It was as if the last barriers, the final layers of protection, + had fallen away from her. And as they fell, a wave of fear-tinged + passion flooded into her. We both clung to each other, like two + sailors clinging to the mast of a sinking ship, hoping that each + other's company could save us from the rest of the world. + + In that embrace, we were safe from the world. Nothing could hurt + us. + + + It's funny how strange the human mind is. It strives for things + it can not have, and refuses anything but perfection. + + We were looking for perfection. We were looking for protection. + And we couldn't have either. + + My mind went about telling me that we couldn't stay the way we + were, that we weren't really protected. It only took a few months for + me to realize that we were vulnerable. For Annie, it took a little + bit longer. I guess that was the first time that she'd been beaten to + the punch by her partner. I don't envy her the feeling of being first + to the realization-- it always happened to her like that. But it only + happened to me this once. + + My mind started suggesting to me different ways that our + relationship couldn't work. It started pointing out other women, + women who were different, women where there was more of a chance of + perfection. It slowly became obvious that what I had with Annie + wasn't perfect, and I needed to move on. Maybe, if I kept going on + long enough, the relationships would get more and more perfect. + + It was an endless cycle, all right. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. If + you always follow all three steps, you'll be in the shower until your + fingers shrivel away. I'd be looking for the perfect relationship + forever. + + So why didn't anyone tell me about it then? I wish someone had. + + + I told her. Not all at once, and not straight out, but the exact + words really didn't matter. I said things like "it's not working out" + and "maybe we should see other people", but they were just words. + + You're not perfect, and I can't accept that. That's what I was + saying. Once I've gone, you'll find someone better. You'll find + someone perfect, or try. + + I looked for the little red-haired girl, and she was gone. I + tried to look in her eyes, deep down into her soul, looking for that + girl. And, if I found her, maybe I would want to take her in my arms + and hold her again. + + There was nothing in her beautiful golden-brown eyes. At least, + nothing that I recognized. The emptiness was a wall, stronger than + her wall of self-confidence, and I had a feeling that I was the one + who had helped built it. + + Maybe the little girl was back there, the innocent little girl + who didn't know love and, therefore, didn't know sadness. + + But I'm afraid that all that was back there was pain. Because of + me. I was the one who ended it. I should have known that it was + coming, and I should have avoided hurting her, but I didn't. + + How many times had Annie gone through what I was going through? + How could she take it? + + As I drove away for the last time, away from what we had been, I + felt that this was the end. + + I was tired of loving, and I was tired of pain. I was tired of + feeling them, and I was tired of causing them. + + The end of the cycle. + + + So I'm in this dance club, a few months later, and I meet this + girl. Nondescript. Nothing special. But we dance, we talk, we get + to know each other, and now I'm sitting on the couch in my apartment, + talking to her, noticing how beautiful her eyes really are. + + And I'm praying for a little girl, hoping there's one somewhere + inside of her, one that I can bring out. + + And I find myself wanting the same things, all over again. And + I'm planning the same things, all over again. + + When I find that little girl, though-- what then? + + Love. Pain. + + And then, begin again. + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Jason Snell is a sophomore at UC San Diego, + double-majoring in Communication and Writing while + serving as the Associate News Editor of the UCSD + Guardian newspaper.

Brad really didn't mind all that much, he + would still have little trouble getting through it. A small gap + between a Buick and a Toyota became evident over in the passing lane + and he slashed into it in an instant with a quick twist of his right + wrist and slight lean to the left. He was past the ancient + rust-colored Pontiac in a heartbeat. A lean back to the right and + another twist of the wrist and Brad had a quarter-mile of open road + ahead of him. The speedometer needle was touching seventy-five before + he backed off. Brad smiled inside his full-face helmet, it was going + to be a great day! + + These morning rides to work on his Kawasaki Ninja were often the + most enjoyable part of the day. The ritual of suiting up in a heavy + leather jacket and strapping on a full-face helmet were sort of like + getting ready to do battle. For a motorcyclist about to experience + heavy traffic, the simile was perhaps uncomfortably accurate. Still, + it certainly was a great way to start the day and by the time he got to + work, he was definitely awake. + + "Work" was no longer an unpleasant situation for Brad, since he + and his friend Peter had started their own business. They called + themselves "Offworld Specialties" and they sold a whole line of + science fiction products. Name it and you could get it, anything from + old paperbacks to posters to stuffed aliens to Star Trek T-shirts. + Most of the their business was mail-order, but they did occasionally + have some walk-ins. Both men had been working for the same + agricultural chemical firm when they met and discovered a similar love + for science fiction. Over a sack lunch one day they had dreamed up + the idea for a short line of products with a science fiction theme. + It started out as a mind game but, within a month, they had decided to + go ahead with a modest ad in one of the fanzines. A year later they + had both quit their regular jobs and were devoting a full- time effort + to their fledgling enterprise. The money wasn't nearly as good as + their previous jobs had been but the business was their's and it did + seem to be growing. Neither man regretted his decision. + + Brad could see Peter's battered old Chevette already parked + outside the ancient building in downtown St. Paul that Offworld + Specialties called home. Two different philosophies: Peter got up a + little earlier than most people and drove sedately through light + traffic to get to work, while Brad lounged around in bed, got up at + the last minute and rocketed to work dicing with traffic all the way. + He pulled the big bike inside the building through the open overhead + door in front. After a couple of blips on the throttle he shut it + off, put down the sidestand and dismounted. He unstrapped and then + removed his helmet as he left the garage area and entered the main + building. "Good morning," he called out as he set his helmet down and + removed his leather jacket. Peter's muffled voice came out from + somewhere in back. + + "Finally decided to come to work, huh?" + + "Jesus, Pete, are you in the can again?" Brad said, smiling, + amusement in his voice. + + "Just get started on that pile of mail orders and don't be so + damned worried about my bodily functions!" Peter replied, with mock + anger. + + Brad chuckled and moved to comply. There was a satisfyingly + large mound of letters on the long table that they used for handling + orders. Each letter contained an order and, more to the point, a + check or cash. Brad smiled, it was a great job, kind of like + Christmas every day! He had gotten through three of them when Peter + finally came out of the john. "That's better," he sighed. "Mornin', + Brad." + + The men were both in their mid-thirties. At six feet, Peter was + at least half-a-head taller than his friend. The dissimilarities + didn't end there. Peter Breck was slender with an unruly shock of + blond hair and a pair of ice-blue eyes that reflected his Scandinavian + heritage. In contrast, Brad Weller was stocky and muscular with + dark-brown hair and green eyes. + + "Isn't it about time for some coffee yet?" asked Brad. + + "You bet! Julie put some on, it should be done drippin' about + now." replied Peter. "Besides we've got some business to discuss." + + "What kind of business?" + + But Peter wouldn't say any more until they each had a cup of + coffee and had sat down. He set a medium-sized cardboard box down on + the table between them. + + "I got a phone call yesterday," he began. "It was from some + character who claims that his firm can supply us with all of the + products that we have right now at about half the price we're paying." + + "Sounds like bullshit to me," said Brad. + + "It gets better," his friend replied. "Not only will they be + cheaper, the guy said the quality would be better too." + + "Really," said Brad. "Let me guess. Is that what's in this + box?" + + "Yup!" + + "Well, what have we got to lose? Let's take a look." + + Peter cut the tape along the seams and filled Brad in on a few + more details. + + "He said his company could supply some of the items in our little + mailer catalog right now. We could expect samples of those products + today. He wants us to compare them to our present stuff." He fished + around inside the box. "Hey wow! Take a look at this." + + He held up a Star Wars T-shirt. At first glance, it looked + exactly like the ones that Offworld Specialties were selling. A + closer examination revealed that the fabric was subtly softer and + shiner than their current product and the colors in the transfer were + much more vivid. + + "This looks like nice stuff!" said Brad, taking his turn at + rummaging around in the box. "Oh my! What have we here?" He grabbed + it and pulled it out. + + What they had there was the new version of their dashboard + blaster. Their present blaster looked a lot like a radar- detector. + It was a black rectangular box with some buttons on the front of it + and there was a suction cup that mounted it to the dash of the + customer's car. If the customer was stuck in traffic or pissed off at + some idiot at a stoplight, he could vent his frustrations by + pretending to blast the perpetrator into the next galaxy. It was + powered by flashlight batteries and, in actuality, all that it did was + make some nifty sound effects. It wasn't a big seller but at $19.95 + they made just over eight dollars on each one they sold. The new + product looked like nothing more than an old-fashioned, art-deco ray + gun with an outlandishly large cross-hair sight on the back of it. It + was made of a very tough-looking plastic and the quality of the fit + and finish was excellent. There were several other new versions of + their wares in the box; each had some noticeable improvement over the + old. + + "What kind of prices did he say he'd give us?" asked Brad. + + "I'm sure he said it would be only half of what we pay now," + answered Peter. + + "It sounds great and this stuff looks wonderful," said Brad, + shaking his head. "But I can't help thinking there's a catch of some + kind. You know what they say about a free lunch." + + "Yeah, I know." He put the blaster back into the box before + continuing. "Well," he shrugged, "the guy is supposed to call on us + this afternoon, around one or so. We should at least meet with him. + What do you think?" + + "Won't hurt to talk to him, I guess. Meanwhile we might as well + try the stuff out." said Brad, as he slipped off his tattered + University of Minnesota T-shirt and slipped into the new one with the + vivid, multicolored Star Wars emblem splashed across it. The shirt + felt cool and light on his skin; it was very comfortable. "This feels + great! I don't know, Pete," he said, shaking his head appreciatively. + "This is good stuff!" + + The two friends went back to work and didn't talk too much more + about their pending business deal. But that didn't mean they weren't + thinking about it. Finally, at quarter-to-twelve, Peter suggested + that they take a break for lunch and go to the bank to cash and + deposit the morning's receipts. + + "Good idea," said Brad. "Shall we take the bike or the + Chevette?" + + "The bike or the car?" said Peter. "Give me a break! I'm taking + the car." Peter headed for the door. Brad stared to follow him but, + as an afterthought, he went back for the new products. + + "Just a minute," he called out, "let me grab that box. We can + take a closer look at some of the new stuff over lunch." He scooped it + up off the table. + + "Julie," Peter called out the their part-time secretary, "mind + the store. We're going to get some lunch and go to the bank." + + "Okay," she called back cheerfully. "But remember, I've got an + appointment at one-thirty today. I'll be gone by one." + + "No problem," said Peter. "Just leave the place open if we're + not back. We won't be long." + + "And don't forget the phone guy is coming in tomorrow to fix that + noisy line," she added. "The phone will be out for a while in the + morning." + + "Great, it's about time!" said Peter. + + Moments later they had left the old building and were heading + towards downtown St. Paul. Peter was needling Brad about his + motorcycle and how impractical it was--again. + + "You and that stupid crotch-rocket. Damned thing sure is + worthless; can't even carry two people and a couple of bags of money!" + he said. + + "Hey Pete, ease up a bit, would you," said Brad. "I used to be a + lot worse. At least I gave up road racing when I got married. Look, + the bike is my one indulgence, and I couldn't afford a Ferrari, Okay? + Besides, I take great pleasure in knowing that my Ninja will kick the + ass of any Ferrari or Porsche or Corvette made. You know what, Pete? + That bike's the closest thing to an x-wing fighter on the planet." + + "X-wing fighter?" asked Peter, dubiously. + + "You remember the scenes in 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' when they + make the jump to warp speed?" asked Brad. Peter nodded but still + looked puzzled. "Well, that's about how it feels to twist the + throttle on that Ninja. Zero-to-Sixty in less than three seconds, + quarter-mile in eleven flat, top speed one-sixty-plus! You bet, + Peter, it's the starship of the 1980's! And I own one!" + + Peter smiled and shook his head. "You're an incurable + motorhead!" he said. It didn't matter, they had had the same or a + similar conversation a hundred times before and, as usual, it was all + just good-natured banter. Each man had his own turf and each + respected the other's opinion, even though that opinion might be + radically different from his own. No doubt this was one of the + reasons that their friendship had worked so well. It was a good + cornerstone upon which to build a successful business. + + Lunch was a quick soup and sandwich at the Center Street Deli. + They took the opportunity to play around with some more of the + potentially new products in the box. Brad was especially enamored + with the stuffed animals. They were cute, cuddly and seemingly + covered with real fur! Peter liked the little dragon with the ivory + (?) teeth and the incredible iridescent skin. Neither man had any + doubts, it was all first-rate merchandise. + + Lunch was followed by a trip to the First National Bank to + deposit the fifty or sixty checks that had come in that morning. By + 12:45, the two friends were on their way back to work. As usual, the + downtown traffic during the noon hour was heavy and slow-moving. The + poor little Chevette was so underpowered and sluggish that they were + more-or-less at the mercy of the slowest vehicles on the road--mostly + more. Finally they got stuck behind a UPS van that was double-parked + to make a delivery. Not a soul traveling in the middle lane had the + common courtesy to let them get around the van and so there they sat + until the driver came sauntering out and moved it. Brad shook his + fist and hollered at the guy out the window. The driver just smiled + and flipped him off. Brad was furious! Two blocks later the Chevette + was stopped for a red light. Across the intersection they saw the van + stop and the driver get out and go into a store. Again the van was + double-parked. + + "I'll fix that son-of-a-bitch!" said Brad. He fished around in + the cardboard box. "I'm gonna blast his sorry ass!" He quickly found + the new blaster, dusted off a spot on the dashboard with his elbow and + licked the suction cup to mount it. After a brief examination, he + flipped a switch on the side of the Buck Rogers-looking ray gun, + centered the back of the van in the outsized crosshairs and pulled the + trigger. To his utter shock and amazement a blue beam the size of a + pencil shot out of the gun. "Ka-wummp!" With a loud report that shook + the ground, the back of the UPS van jumped two feet off the street and + went up in a searing ball of blue-white flame! The two friends looked + at each other in horrified shock. + + "Let's get the hell out of here!" shouted Brad. + + Peter, his face white as death, complied by turning right and + flooring the accelerator. Mercifully, it was only a short distance, + maybe five or six blocks, back to the store. Brad rocketed out of the + car as they arrived and opened the overhead door. With a quick glance + up and down the street, Peter pulled the car inside, barely missing + the big Kawasaki, and Brad pulled the door shut. Peter, still + shaking, got out of the car. + + "Brad, what the hell happened?" He was shouting. + + "That God-damned ray gun blew the shit out of a UPS van!" Brad + shouted back, his voice quavering with excitement. "Jesus Christ, + it's a good thing the driver was in the store, we might have killed + him! Where the God-damned hell did that stuff come from, Pete?" + + A calm and whispery voice interrupted. "You are in some way + dissatisfied with the new products?" + + Both men nearly jumped a foot off the floor at the sound. They + turned to see a short man in what looked like a strangely- styled, + two-sizes-too-big, cream-colored leisure suit. It had no lapels and + was secured in front by two huge, sparkling crystal buttons. He was + also wearing a matching, outsized fedora hat with a floppy brim. A + pair of gaudy Elton-John sunglasses added the finishing touch to his + outlandish costume. In the darkness of the garage area they could not + make out any details of his face. + + "Who the hell are you and how did you get in here?" Brad nearly + shouted. + + "Your attractive secretary let me in before she left," the man + lisped. "And, as you may have already guessed, I represent the firm + that is offering to sell you all those fine new products." + + There was something definitely odd about him. Brad also had to + seriously question the guy's taste in women; Julie was heavy set, had + bad acne and was anything but attractive. + + "Man, you can't sell a functional ray-gun to people by mail!" + said Peter. "We're God-damned lucky we didn't kill somebody!" + + "Perhaps we misinterpreted the purpose of the weapon. From your + brochure it was apparent that it would be used to rid the streets of + idiots. As you can see, it will be very effective for this purpose. + + "You're God-damned right it will be effective for that purpose! + We damned near killed a UPS driver! Okay, the guy was an asshole," he + admitted. "But that's no reason to kill him. Who are you anyway?" + + Both men felt their knees turn to water as the short man stepped + out of the shadows and removed his hat. He was obviously not from the + earth, meaning that he was humanoid but certainly not human. Without + his hat, he was even shorter than they had thought at first and he was + very thin which made the oversized zoot-leisure suit look even more + outlandish. His head was hairless and sported a pair of delicate and + very ornate ears which stuck out sharply. His skin was light-blue, + almost white, and looked smooth to the touch, like doeskin, and his + lips were thin around a small mouth. Yet, for all of his + differentness, there was no air of menace about him. At that moment, + the mouth was apparently in the alien version of a smile. + + "I am called Roton and I represent the Coalition of Worlds," he + lisped. "We are certain that we can provide you with products + superior to those you now sell and at a lower price." He removed his + Elton-John sunglasses, revealing a pair of liquid, aquamarine eyes. + "Who is your current supplier anyway? Is it Deneb? Sirius?" + + "W-we get our stuff from many different outlets," Brad managed to + stammer as he backed towards the door. Peter stood his ground. + + "Hang on, Brad," he whispered, grabbing Brad's arm to slow down + his retreat. "This is starting to make sense." + + "It doesn't matter," said Roton. "We can still do better. The + Coalition represents over a hundred civilized worlds!" He looked at + the two friends, seeming to finally notice their near- flight + attitude. "What is wrong? I mean you no harm. You look as though + you'd never seen a Coalition agent before." + + "To be truthful...," Brad began. Peter interrupted. + + "It's been a while," he said. "Why have you contacted us + anyway?" + + "We wish to open new markets for trade in your solar system and + your firm is perfect for this purpose. As you can see, we can already + provide certain items that you can use by modifying some of our staple + goods and certainly there are many products of your world that we can + use also. We are very interested in doing business with you but we + have to be very careful not to alert the competition that we are here. + In fact, we have purposely not used some of our most sophisticated + probing devices for fear of detection. Instead, we have been + monitoring what you call 'radio' and 'television' broadcasts for some + two weeks now and with the aid of a learning booster we have absorbed + enough about your culture to communicate. We found your firm in + something called the 'yellow pages'. You know, 'let your digits do + the walking'! The (untranslated expletive) Denebians would never have + looked there!" + + "Good, good, I'm glad you found us! Umm...Would you excuse us + for a moment?" said Peter. "My partner and I have to talk a little + business. Have a seat. You do sit, don't you?" + + Roton nodded. "Of course, my physiology is very similar to your + own." + + "Good," Peter continued, scanning the room for something to + occupy the little alien for a few minutes. "How about some coffee?" + + "If you mean the beverage made by straining hot water through + partially burned vegetable matter; no thank you," he said, making a + face. "Do you have any Coca-cola?" Peter nodded cautiously, Roton + continued. "Excellent! That is a product we simply must have! The + aroma, the bouquet! I know of ten worlds where we can sell all that + we can get!" + + Peter got him a Coke out of the small fridge in back and got him + settled down in a chair. The two friends went into the office to + talk. + + "Give me the phone!" said Brad, in near panic. "We gotta call + the cops, the Air Force or somebody. That's a God-damned alien out + there for Crissake!" + + "Hang on a second," said Peter, grabbing his shoulders and gently + pushing him into the desk chair. "This is different! This alien + wants to do business with us. I don't know, there must have been some + kind of mistake somewhere, but it really doesn't matter. What does + matter is that they've come to us, you and me--first! Do you know + what that means, Brad? We will be the first humans to have dealings + with another civilization!" + + Brad cocked his head. "You're right," he said, starting to calm + down a little. "This is our chance to be famous." + + "There'll be fame and notoriety, sure, but that's only the + beginning. Think of it, Brad! It means new products from over a + hundred different worlds and we, you and I, have sole rights to sell + them in this solar system! Brad, Brad!" Peter shook him. "We're + talking heavy-duty, major-league wealth here! Can you imagine how + many people would stand in line to buy something from the stars? And + what about all of the stuff made right here on good old earth. You + heard him, they want to buy Coca-cola for Chrissake! + Coca-fucking-cola! If we play our cards right, they'll buy it from + us! We'll be two of the wealthiest people on earth. We'll need dump + trucks to haul all of the money to the bank. You can buy that + Ferrari...Hell, you can probably buy Italy!" He paused to let the + impact sink in before continuing. "Unless, of course you'd rather + call the cops or something." + + Brad swallowed and sat back, his face contorted from the effort + of the mental battle that was raging inside his head. To his credit, + he thought for only a moment. "You know, you're right," he said, as + it dawned on him. "We certainly could take advantage of this + situation." + + Brad had always demonstrated a gift for understatement. They + gathered what self-composure they could and went back into the + mail-room area to confront the alien. Roton had just finished his can + of Coke and was sitting with his head thrown back, eyes closed, + apparently still savoring the aftertaste. + + "Mr. Roton," said Peter. "How do we go about setting up to do + business with you?" The alien blinked and brought his head down to + face them. + + "Truly an excellent beverage!" he proclaimed. He looked into the + empty can forlornly before setting it back on the table. "It is + really very simple," he lisped. "We will draw up a standard contract + with you as our sole agents for T-shirts, dashboard blasters and + stuffed animals along with some choice products for us from your + planet. But that is only the beginning, from there we can go on to + some serious business. You might say that the stars are the limit!" + he chuckled, a sort of bubbly hiss. + + "How long until you can have a contract ready, Mr. Roton?" asked + Brad. + + "Just 'Roton' will do," he replied. "It usually takes only a few + hours. We could do it more quickly but there are always some special + details for each world we deal with." + + "We've been talking this over and we're very interested," said + Peter. "But, I think we may need some time to settle a few things. I + think we could be ready by tomorrow morning. Would that be alright?" + + "Not at all irregular. It will be fine. I shall return tomorrow + to answer any questions you may have. We can have a contract ready + at, say, nine o'clock for you. It can be signed at that time." + + "Good, Good!" said Peter. "Until tomorrow, then?" + + "Actually, there is one more thing," said Roton. "The landing + craft that brought me here will not return until tomorrow. As I said, + we do not wish to alarm the Denebian or Siriusian competition so we + have operated only clandestine flights." + + "Probably not a bad idea," said Peter. Good, he thought, no one + else has seen him. He was even more positive that he and Brad had + made a good decision. + + "Indeed," said Roton. "The question is: Could you direct me to + an establishment that will accept a Coalition credit cube? I need a + place to spend the night." + + "Um...There aren't any near by," Peter managed to stammer. Shit, + he thought, we can't have this alien roaming the streets! Could ruin + everything! Thinking quickly, he came up with a solution. "Why don't + you spend the night with one of us," he said, managing to stay + outwardly calm; meanwhile his mind was racing. He himself lived in a + large apartment complex, no good, too many people. Brad had a nice + two-story with attached garage--perfect! They could probably get + Roton into the house without anyone seeing them. "Brad would + delighted to have you stay with him." + + "Huh?" said Brad. + + "Wonderful!" Roton was almost gleeful. "I should tell you that I + am an amateur sociologist. I would like to study a human family unit + to gain some insight as to how they work. You know, relationships and + such. This would be an excellent opportunity!" + + "Well...okay," said Brad hesitantly, definitely not convinced + that it was going to work. "As long as we're going to do business + together, we might as well get used to it. Yeah, what the hell! Come + to my place tonight. I'll talk to my wife right now. It should be no + problem." He almost choked over the words "no problem". + + Roton got a small transmitter out of his breast pocket and spoke + some unintelligible syllables into it. After a couple of exchanges, + he announced. "The arrangements have been made. Valtex will come + down tomorrow with a contract. And I am free for the evening!" + + They got Roton another Coke and the two friends went back to the + office to call Brad's wife. They looked at each other for a moment, + neither wishing to break the spell for fear the dream would end. + Finally, Brad broke the silence. + + "Pinch me, Pete! This has gotta be a dream!" + + "If it is, I hope I never wake up!" said Peter. "Brad, we're + gonna be rich!" + + "Yeah, and I invited an alien over to my house. 'Gee Honey, + guess who's coming to dinner!'" They both cackled excitedly. They + didn't accomplish much for the rest of the day. In fact, most of the + day's orders remained unfilled. + + + Nancy Weller was a reasonable woman. During the time she had + known Brad, she hadn't pushed him at all. In the beginning, she had + waited and worried, silently, until he decided, on his own, to give up + the extremely dangerous sport of motorcycle road-racing. The worry + had been worth it. Since it was he who had made the decision, he had + no trouble living with it. Later, when her husband had informed her + that he was going to quit a secure, fairly-well-paying job to start up + a science fiction business with Peter she had been worried but, again, + hadn't voiced any objection. A year later it looked like Brad may + have made a good career move. However, she had balked a bit when he + announced that he was bringing an alien home for dinner. + + "You mean a migrant worker, Dear?" + + "No, I mean an honest-to-God, not-from-this-planet space alien." + + "What the hell are you talking about, Brad?" she asked sternly, + her voice tinged with worry and more than just a trace of anger. "You + guys didn't have another one of your famous four-beer lunches, did + you?" + + "Not this time, Honey. I'm dead serious. Believe me, this is + the opportunity of a lifetime! Hell, five lifetimes!" + + She decided to humor him, it had always worked in the past. + + "Great, what do I fix for supper?" + + "He says that his physiology is almost like ours. What the hell, + make your lasagne. Better make a lot, because he's going to ride home + with Peter--I can't bring him, I'm on the bike--and Betsy will + probably stop over after work." There was a silence on the line. He + added. "I love you, sweetheart. Thanks a lot." + + They say behind every successful man stands a good woman. By any + measure, Nancy Weller was truly a magnificent woman. With her behind + him, Brad was practically guaranteed success! + + + Dinner went splendidly. Roton had two generous helpings of + Nancy's excellent lasagne and washed it down with a two-liter bottle + of Pepsi. No doubt about it, there was trouble brewing. Roton liked + Pepsi even better than Coke. Brad caught himself thinking of what a + great TV campaign it would make, sort of an ultimate Pepsi Challenge. + Move over Bill Cosby, make room for Roton! And he might have been in + a gourmet restaurant the way he reacted to the meal. Even before + dinner had ended, he had charmed both women completely. The rest of + the evening went just as well with Brad, Peter and Roton talking about + potential products and swapping stories about life within their + different societies. + + They had a few after dinner drinks. To further their amusement, + they discovered that something in the Pepsi, the carbon-dioxide maybe, + affected Roton much the same as alcohol effected the humans. The + slightly tipsy and very personable alien was great entertainment. + Finally ten o'clock came around and Peter announced that it was time + for he and Betsy to be going home. Roton agreed that it was time to + quit also. Members of his species didn't sleep as such, but they did + have a similar state, and he was feeling like he needed to partake of + it right then. By that time, Nancy and Brad had no reservations about + having their new friend and business associate spend the night. + + Brad didn't sleep much that night but when he did, he dreamed of + two-wheeled starships and short, dapper aliens who looked like Truman + Capote. + + + Morning found them all in good spirits with, fortunately, no ill + effects from the previous night's activities. All, including Roton, + had overslept a bit so they were running a bit late. They served up a + normal, midwestern breakfast just like any other day. Roton took a + particular liking to Wheat Chex. Brad mentally marked off another + product that could make millions for Offworld Specialties. With + breakfast finished, there was coffee for Brad and Pepsi for Roton. + Brad decided to double-check the morning's agenda. + + "When do we sign the contract this morning, Roton?" he asked. + + "Unless I am mistaken, I believe it is at nine." He consulted a + cube from his pocket. "Yes, my colleague Valtex will come to Offworld + Specialties at nine with the contract. I am very excited. I haven't + told you this yet but this is my first assignment for the Coalition." + + "Your first?" + + "Yes, but I think it is going rather well, don't you?" + + "Ah...sure, but there is one thing that puzzles me," said Brad. + "Why did you guys pick us to do business with?" + + "Your's was the only firm that we could find which had some + experience working with extraterrestrial civilizations," said Roton. + + Roton had admitted that this was his first assignment; Brad + figured he that owed a confession also. + + "But, Roton, we don't have any experience working with aliens." + said Brad. + + "How can that be? On the telephone, yesterday, I asked your + partner if you were the firm that worked with other space-faring + civilizations and he replied 'yes'!" said Roton. There was an edge of + concern in his voice. + + "Roton, we get thirty or forty calls a week where someone asks us + the same question," said Brad. "We tell all of them 'yes', they + expect it, it's part of the game." + + "But the name 'Offworld Specialties?' said Roton. + + "We chose it because it fits with the illusion that we have some + contacts in outer space. But none of our customers really believes + that we do." + + "Oh, this is most unfortunate!" said Roton, agitatedly. + + "It's a kind of joke!" said Brad. He looked thoughtfully at + Roton for a moment. "Maybe you just don't understand our humor. That + would make sense." A light went on in Brad's brain. "Sure, like that + damned dashboard blaster. Ours was never intended to work, it was + just a toy, a noisemaker. Your's blew the shit out of a UPS van! + Maybe we should talk a bit more, Roton." + + "You mean you admit that you lied to a Coalition agent?" Roton + was really getting worked up." + + "Well, I wouldn't exactly call it lying," said Brad. "I'd say + that you guys kind of jumped to some conclusions." + + It may already be too late!" said Roton. "What time is it?" + + "It's twenty minutes to nine," said Brad, looking at his watch. + "I'm going to have to leave for work pretty soon." + + "You must stop your friend from signing that contract!" said + Roton. "There are severe penalties for lying to a Coalition agent." + + "I said I was leaving for work in a few minutes. Surely they + won't sign the contract without both of us there!" said Brad. + + "Now it is you who do not understand. In our society, time is + inviolate. If the contract is to be signed at nine o'clock, that is + when it will be signed, believe me!" + + "Look, we certainly didn't mean any harm," Brad began. Roton cut + him off. + + "The last time someone lied to one of our agents we retaliated by + destroying the entire planet." said Roton, in near panic. + + "What!" Brad stood up so suddenly that his chair fell over behind + him. "Jesus, Roton, isn't there anything we can do?" The panic was + infectious. + + "No problem, if we get it straightened out before he signs that + contract," said Roton. "Otherwise..." + + "I know, why don't you call Valtex on your communicator and tell + them not to sign before we get there!" + + "Good idea," said Roton, with some relief as he reached for his + breast pocket. His face fell as he failed to find the device. He + stood up and frantically felt the rest of his pockets. "I...I cannot + find it! Let me think. I used it in Peter's vehicle on the way here + yesterday. I...I must have left it there! If you remember, I had two + Coca-colas before we came here yesterday. I get a bit disorientated." + + "I'll just call Peter myself," Brad said as he picked up the + phone and dialed the number. That failed too. "Oh shit! I forgot! + The phone is down this morning!" + + It seemed there was only one possible solution. + + He hollered to his wife as he grabbed his leather jacket and + full-face helmet. "Nancy! Call the police and tell them to meet the + maniac on the Ninja at Offworld Specialties. Tell them it's a life or + death situation. Get Roton in the car and follow me down as quickly + as you can." + + He had the jacket, the helmet and his gloves on before he opened + the garage door. He had the key in the ignition and switched on + before he even threw his leg over the bike. He stabbed the starter + button and, as usual, the engine roared to life immediately, throbbing + with power. There was no time for the customary pre-ride + inspection--the future of mankind was at stake!. He pulled in the + clutch with his left hand, snicked the shift lever down into first + gear with his left toe, blipped the throttle with his right hand and + let out the clutch. The rear tire left a six-foot long stripe on the + concrete floor as he launched the bike out of the garage. He slowed + down only slightly and took a left into the street--right into the + path of a Buick! He ignored the squeal of brakes and the angry curses + of the driver as he straightened out the handlebars and twisted the + throttle to the stop. + + Engage warp drive! + + In less than a heartbeat the awesome power of the two- wheeled + beast was unleashed. The bike lunged forward, the front wheel + skimming a couple of inches off the street, the rear tire clawing at + the asphalt. The tach soared to redline in first gear accompanied by + the soulful howl of the big, inline four in full song. The guy in the + Buick stopped in mid-curse as the big bike with its obviously + psychotic rider seemingly evaporated down the street! With the + throttle still at the stop, Brad snapped the clutch in and out while + lifting his left toe simultaneously, accomplishing the shift into + second gear in less than an eyeblink. The front wheel again lost + contact with the road. The process was repeated for third gear. Brad + was now a mere eight seconds away from his driveway. His speed was + already 102 m.p.h. and climbing. Four intersections shot past, Brad + silently thanked God no one was coming! Too quickly, it was time to + slow down for the crosstown freeway entrance. After a quick pull on + the brakes and a downshift to second gear to lose a little speed, Brad + shifted his weight over to the left, "hanging off" to insure proper + cornering attitude as he banked the streaking bike over into the + curve. The rear wheel slipped a couple of times but he managed to + successfully negotiate the carousel onto the highway at just over 70 + m.p.h. Brad's heart was in his throat, even in his racing days, he + had never done anything quite that dangerous! Race tracks have + generous runoffs and hay bales if you make a mistake. On the street + there are nothing but hard things and sharp angles. Not to mention + cars. Thousands of cars, all crawling along at 65 m.p.h., or less. + There were trucks too, big, heavy, ugly trucks that clogged the road + even better. + + Out on the highway, and he was on the throttle again, hard! The + Ninja again lunged forward, eating up the road ravenously, like some + lithe, hungry, two-wheeled predator. Brad tucked in behind the short + bubble windscreen of the sportbike's full fairing as he weaved in and + out of the traffic like a madman on amphetamines. The tach hovered + near redline in fourth gear as he and the big bike screamed down the + dashed lines in the middle of the two-lane one-way road and flashed + between a moving van in one lane and a tow-truck in the other. + + The noise of the wind tearing at his helmet and clothing was all + that he could hear but he could feel how hard the engine was working + by the urgency of the tingling vibration he felt between his legs and + in the handgrips. Brad realized once again that riding a big powerful + bike really fast required CONCENTRATION!. Things happen at an + alarming rate at 130 m.p.h.! + + Don't try this at home, kids! he thought, as he shot over to + pass a dirt-covered Cadillac, skirting by it by going out on the + shoulder. Not surprisingly, most of the people he passed were shocked + and angered and were making all kinds of gestures at him. At the + speeds he was traveling and in his state of total concentration, he + barely saw them. + + The engine was singing soprano and the speedometer indicating 135 + m.p.h. as the exit for downtown came up on the right--fast! Brad + grabbed a handful of brake with his right hand. It was like hitting a + brick wall. The powerful twin discs on the front wheel of the + streaking black and red bike were so strong and the need of the rider + so urgent that the back wheel came up momentarily from the force of + braking. He downshifted twice, fourth to third to second and coasted + down the ramp and out into the street at half-throttle. There was a + tiny opening in the traffic; Brad put the hammer down! The warp drive + kicked in again and the big bike with its white-knuckled rider clawed + its way around a red Dodge Omni and flashed through the tail-end of a + yellow light, speed: 80 m.p.h. Just five more blocks to go! Then + four, then three...Again the squeal of car brakes from a near + miss--unheard. The "Offworld Specialties" sign came into view. Brad + again hit the brakes so hard that the back wheel came up off the + street. He slithered the bike to a stop in front of the building, + slammed the sidestand down and ran inside, screaming for Peter as he + clawed at the fasteners on his helmet. He rounded the corner into the + mail-room just in time to see Peter and another alien by the desk. + The clock on the wall read 8:59. Peter had a pen poised above a large + formal-looking document. + + "Peter!" Brad shouted. "For God's sake don't sign that + contract!" + + Peter looked up at him with a kind of bewildered stare. Brad + didn't even stop. He continued his headlong rush across the room and + snatched the pen out of Peter's hand. + + "What did you do that for?" asked Peter. + + Brad was out of breath from the exertion of piloting the big + bike. Or maybe it was because he hadn't breathed for most of his + incredible trip--He wasn't sure! He sat shakily down in a chair and + put his head in his hands. The enormity of what he had just done, the + saving of mankind and the personal risk he had just taken, was + beginning to dawn on him. It would be a while before the adrenaline + wore off. + + "We have to talk a bit more about some of the details of the + contract," said Brad, calmly. "That is, if we want to stay in + business for very long." + + Within minutes, the building was surrounded by police cars which + were full of confused and angry policemen. A short time later Nancy + and Roton arrived. The spacecraft on the roof and the alien on the + ground were enough to convince the cops that a momentous event was in + progress. Besides, they weren't sure who had jurisdiction over the + matter. Roton and the two friends made a few minor (but extremely + important) changes in the wording of their contract and, with the + stroke of a pen, Offworld Specialties really did have contacts with an + extraterrestrial civilization! + + + * * * + + It had been a truly fantastic banquet with delightful and exotic + cuisine from all over the Galaxy and the lush appointments of the + formal dining room were opulent in the extreme. Red velvet draperies + and gold brocade adorned the frescoed walls. The table was covered + with the very best Denebian linen and was set with "china" from + Sirius's most famous kilns. Around the table, three friends raised + their expensive Rigellian crystal goblets in a formal toast. Two of + the goblets contained the finest champagne, the other contained the + finest Pepsi-cola. + + "To the first five years of our prosperous partnership, Brad, + Roton," said Peter. "May there be many more!" They clinked their + glasses together and tossed down their respective beverages. + + "Where to now?" said Roton. + + "Oh, I don't know," said Brad. "How about Barnard's Star. I + hear they had a fantastic year for Sardinarian Brandy." + + Roton disappeared into the control room. Minutes later the sleek + gleaming starship that was the property of Offworld Specialties came + majestically about. After a short countdown she flashed into + hyperspace. With her wealthy merchant crew and her cargo of precious + goods, the Offworld Ninja was off on another foray as trader to the + stars. + + --------------------------------------------------- + Phil is a research specialist in Plant Pathology at + NDSU in Fargo, North Dakota.

The tedious job of processing + subscriptions, although still done by hand, is becoming more + efficient. The development of the PostScript edition is also becoming + more and more automatic, as I continue to fine-tune both my custom + software and the templates used by FrameMaker. I am comfortable, but + I don't think I will ever be completely content. There is always room + for improvement, and I encourage the readership to recommend changes. + + This month's issue contains some subtle changes, suggested by a + few concerned subscribers, which relate to the formatting of the + PostScript versions. The story titles are now enclosed in quotes, + instead of being underlined. The title of this column is now + formatted more consistently, using no italics or quotes everywhere it + is referenced. Also, the gray "filler" blocks, used to balance the + columns of the last page of some stories, have been discontinued. A + true dash is used now as well, instead of a double hyphen. In + addition, the "A" icon is now used to signal the end of every story, + instead of being used only for my editorial section. The most visible + change is a reduction in the size of the type. The smaller type helps + to ease the psychological burden of reading such narrow columns of + words, and it also makes each issue about four pages shorter. + + I have also started a newer system for distributing the + back-issues of the magazine. Before, I would process each request an + issue at a time, immediately when I received it. Now, I save up all + the back-issue requests until the end of the week, then I send them + all out at once. Although this causes a slower turnaround time in the + short run, above this individual level it makes much more efficient + use of the network and contributes to a faster throughput in the long + run. These reader-sponsored improvements, balanced with a few other + small modifications made on my own, should help to make this monthly + magazine a more enjoyable experience for everyone. + + I am happy to announce the formation of a new fiction magazine + for the Scandinavian community -- Volven. Like Athene and Quanta, + Volven will be distributed electronically, over the ever-expanding + global computer network. The editor, Rune Johansen, had originally + planned for it to deal exclusively with science fiction, but has + decided to allow for "any good stuff in Danish, Swedish, or + Norwegian."

Kousen + KAK%UTRC@utrcgw.utc.com + Copyright 1990 Kenneth A. Kousen + ====================================================================== + + Sometimes, graduate school is no picnic. + + I reflected on this fact in the Student Lounge while "talking" to + my friend Jeremy Davis, a fellow Ph.D. candidate in mathematical + physics. I use the word "talking" loosely, because Jeremy suffers + from Graduate Student Disease: the firm conviction that his work is so + fascinating that everyone in the world ought to be eager to hear about + it, in great detail, for hours on end. I find this self-centered + foolishness frustrating, because it makes people reluctant to hear + about truly important work. + + Like mine, for instance. I am going to revolutionize physics by + introducing the concept of negative probabilities. How can the odds + of something happening be negative? Simple. If something is + absolutely impossible, its probability is zero. Therefore, a negative + probability means that it is so totally impossible that you shouldn't + even be wasting your time thinking about it in the first place. + + This, naturally, brings me to the problem of writing my thesis. + Don't get me wrong; I'm an excellent student. I took all the required + courses, and did fine (after all, grades don't matter to graduate + students, right?). I passed my qualifying examinations at the end of + my second year with only minor damage, and spent the last four years + blissfully contemplating the wonders of the universe. All right, so I + mostly did it while drinking beer at the beach. Thinking deep + thoughts is best performed when you are relaxed, and where do you go + to relax? Q.E.D. (Latin for "it ought to be obvious from here, so + don't bother me with any questions"). All in all, it had been a good, + productive, and, of course, relaxing existence, all for the benefit of + my fellow man. + + Last week, however, my entire carefully cultivated world received + a shattering blow. I had presented the deep, powerful theorems I had + been working on to my advisor for His review (note: advisors always + get a capital He/She/It -- follow this rule and you have at least a + fighting chance to get your degree). When He later called me into His + office, I subtly commented that it was He who had provided the + inspiration for this beautiful, elegant work, and carefully called His + attention to the way my work built upon His own. I finally told Him + that I was going to name my first child after Him, even if it was a + girl. He rolled His eyes in response, no doubt thanking the heavens + that He had been blessed with such a devoted disciple. + + Imagine my astonishment when He then informed me that funding for + my project was being terminated, so that if I wanted a Ph.D., I had to + submit a thesis within two weeks! + + I went to the Student Lounge to consider my plight, which is how + I received the privilege of hearing every detail of Jeremy's research, + as I said. When he finally ran out of wind, I told him about my + predicament. + + "Ok," he said, "so you have to give your advisor a rough draft. + What's the problem?" + + "Well, at this particular point in time, I don't have much + actually committed to paper." + + "Really? You've been here forever. How much do you have?" + + I looked down my nose at him. "Please, sir. Like the immortal + Gauss, I am an explorer, not a colonizer. I prefer the noble quest + for knowledge to the mundane aspects of recording my discoveries. + While it is true that I may have spent more time here than the average + student, I assure you that it has been well spent." + + "So you keep telling me. Don't you have anything at all?" + + I gave him my pages of theorems and proofs. He shuffled through + them, emitting an occasional whistle. He never actually laughed. + + "My friend," he said after he had finished, "you have a problem." + + "Nonsense," I replied, "_we_ have a problem." + + "We? What do you mean `we'?" + + I then proceeded to dazzle him with logical arguments in favor of + his helping me find a way out of this mess. Sadly, I must report that + man is not a rational animal. Threats worked better, but I'm afraid + it was bribery that was most effective. I shall dearly miss my mint + condition set of Pink Floyd original master recordings. + + "Well," he said, "I'll try, but I'm not promising anything. I'll + let you know if I come up with any ideas." + + "Sir, you are a gentlemen and a scholar. I look forward with + great anticipation to hearing your recommendations." + + + + Later that evening while listening to Pink Floyd's _The_Wall_ + (you know, "we don't need no education..."), I compiled a list of + possible solutions to my dilemma. It ran, in part: + + 1. Finish the thesis. I rejected this as + impractical, given the time considerations and my + adviser's unfortunate predisposition against me. + 2. Transfer to another department. (And have to + take the qualifiers again? Get serious.) + 3. Transfer to another school. (Possible but + unlikely. See (1) above.) + 4. Get a job. (And _work_ for a living? There + has to be a better way.) + 5. Extortion. + 6. Marry my adviser's daughter. + 7. French Foreign Legion. + + + Believe it or not, the list went downhill from there. + + How disappointing. Maybe my work is not the most rigorous in the + world, but at least it tends to be original. I know my ideas + sometimes seem rather far out, but they're certainly new. + + I remember when I took that Modern Art course as an under- + graduate. The instructor projected slides of various odd-looking + works of art on a screen, and invited discussion about them. One day + she put a particularly wild Jackson Pollack up there, and it pushed me + too far. The painting consisted entirely of blotches of paint on a + canvas, with no apparent pattern. I felt compelled to say something. + + "Now wait a minute," I said. "What's so wonderful about that?" I + pointed disdainfully at the screen. + + "It was new and different," she replied. + + "You mean that all I have to do to be a famous artist is to come + up with new and different things?" + + "It's not quite that simple, but, in effect, yes. If you can be + truly original, perhaps you could produce something of merit." + + "All right, then, try this. I'm going to paint an absolute + masterpiece on a canvas and put it in a nice, wooden frame. The thing + is, though, I'm going to hang it so that the picture faces the wall + and nobody can see it. I'll call it `Hidden Beauty' or something like + that. What do you think?" + + "Well..." + + "Next, I'm going to suspend it by a thread from the ceiling, but + in the middle of the back so that it faces downward. Then I'll attach + a motor to it so it spins back and forth. What do you think now?" + + "Um..." + + "You like that one? How about this? I'm going to slice a + triangular section out of one end and argue that the missing piece + gives the work a sense of space. Then maybe I'll hang the section + next to it. Maybe I'll just put the whole thing in a locked room and + only let people see it through a mirror. Am I an artist?" + + She shook her head sadly and didn't reply. I wound up with a + B-minus in the course. I never did figure out what made some modern + art works worth a lot of money and others garbage. I decided to stick + with physics, where you could usually tell the good from the bad. + + This, unfortunately, brought my attention back to the problem at + hand. All this daydreaming may have helped, though, because I began + to get the barest glimmer of an idea. Maybe the whole trick was to + turn everything around and look at it from a different angle. I + pondered the possibilities far into the night. + + + + The next day, I met Jeremy for lunch. He looked like he hadn't + slept well either. He handed me the papers I had given him the day + before. + + "I don't know," he said. "There are some interesting ideas here, + but not a lot of development. There really isn't enough here to get a + thesis out of it." + + I smiled at him. "Fear not, I have been inspired. With some + help from you, my dear fellow, we are well on the way to becoming + famous beyond your wildest dreams." + + "What are we going to do, rob a bank?" + + "Oh, thee of little faith. You know my hypotheses about negative + mass and negative probabilities?" + + "Sure. Cute ideas, but I can't imagine anything productive + coming out of them." + + "The beauty of my plan is that we don't have to. What we are + going to do is to propose the Madison-Abramson-Davis Conjecture." + + "The who?" + + "Look, all the truly famous problems in mathematics are unsolved, + right? Some may even be unsolvable. But it doesn't matter. Nobody + ever remembers the person who solves an unsolved problem, only the + person who came up with it in the first place. Look at Fermat's Last + Theorem. Mathematicians have been trying to prove or disprove it for + three hundred years with no luck. Even if they do succeed, though, + the guy everybody will remember is Fermat. So I, Robert Madison, and + you, Jeremy Davis, are going to come up with a Great Question." + + "Sure we are. By the way, where does the Abramson part come in?" + + "Elementary, my dear Davis. No doubt you have forgotten the name + of my esteemed advisor, the soon to be famous Professor Bartholomew S. + Abramson." + + He laughed. "Cute. Real cute. Incidentally, why is my name + last?" + + "Ah, sometimes my subtlety surprises even me. Can you think of a + better name for a kooky idea like this than the MAD Conjecture?" + + Jeremy grinned. The grin forced its way into a laugh, and then + into a guffaw. It is extremely gratifying to watch skeptics come + around to my way of thinking. + + "Now for the minor details," I continued. "As wonderful as my + work thus far has been, it needs to be presented in the proper manner + for it to yield the desired results. This is what I want you to + do..." + + + + During the next two weeks, I circulated rumors around the various + funding agencies that my advisor had made a Nobel Prize-worthy + discovery. I stated that he was reluctant to announce it yet because + he hadn't worked out all the possibilities. I then called the science + editor at the local newspaper and gave him the story. He loved it. + Most professors don't have time for science journalism types; they + prefer to talk only to each other. Consequently, the newspaperman was + thrilled to be on the inside track of a potentially major discovery. + + I then called the governor's office. `If you're going to be + audacious, you might as well go all out,' is my philosophy. I + eventually was placed in touch with the state representative for + public relations in education. When I told him the story, he ate it + up. Nothing like a little state xenophobia to make people not worry + about facts. All he could talk about was how this reflected well upon + the governor, the state, the university, and my advisor, probably in + that order. + + My favorite call, however, was to the fund-raising office at the + university. Here, the operating principle is greed. They love + anything they can flaunt to potential donors. I spoke to a Ms. + Weston, Senior Executive Assistant to the Dean for Industrial and + Alumni Relations. + + "We're so glad," she said, "to see our junior faculty producing + such important work." She always used the royal plural. "We simply + must see to it that Professor Abramson receives our fullest support + and appreciation. Would you please, for the good of the University, + of course, persuade him to release his results as soon as possible?" + + I promised to try. + + Meanwhile, Jeremy was working on graphics. There's nothing like + multicolored diagrams and videos to dazzle the uninformed. Just look + at all the computer manufacturers that show bar graphs on TV. + Honestly, when was the last time you truly needed to use a bar graph. + + Jeremy really came through. He made multicolored pie charts, + constructed elaborate three-dimensional models, and even managed to + create a video tape of some complicated numerical simulation. It + looked beautiful. + + Finally, everything was ready for the big day. I triumphantly + entered my adviser's office, just before my list of callers was + scheduled to arrive. Professor Abramson motioned for me to take a + chair until he got off the phone. + + "No," he was saying, "I'm not ready to publish my results just + yet. Yes, yes, I'll let you know when I am. You're welcome. Good + bye." He hung up the phone and turned to me. + + "Strangest thing," he said. "All week long I've been getting the + oddest inquiries about some supposed `Big Question' they say I'm + working on. Can't imagine what they're talking about. No matter, + they're all daft anyway. Now, Mr. Madison, have you a thesis to + present to me today?" + + "Sir, with my associate, Jeremy Davis, I have prepared a paper I + believe you will find quite interesting." + + I handed him a copy of "The Madison-Abramson-Davis Conjecture and + Its Revolutionary Impact on Modern Physics." His expression was + priceless. He couldn't decided whether to be astonished or furious, + and tried to do both. Fortunately, at this point the first visitor + arrived. + + "Professor Abramson, I presume. I'm Dick Jorgens from the Daily + Press. Your student here tells me you're on to something big." + + My advisor turned to him, but before he could respond, in walked + the Honorable William H. Wyeth, State Senator and Head of the + Governor's Commission on Science and Technology. He didn't introduce + himself. He just assumed everyone knew him, which was probably + correct. + + "Nice to see you again, Bart," he said. Nobody ever calls my + advisor Bart, but what the heck, I was going with the flow. "I hear + you're up to something that will make the governor proud." + + Right on schedule, Jeremy came in, with an armful of materials + and equipment. He and I started handing out copies of our paper, + complete with multicolored graphs, etcetera, and he then hooked up a + video monitor and a slide projector. Everybody started talking at + once. + + Now that it looked like something really important was going on, + in walked the Dean for Industrial and Alumni Relations, Randolph + Murphy, and the Dean of the School of Science, Chong-Liu Mei. An + assistant professor's office is not large, so this made quite a crowd. + I called for attention. + + "Honored guests, members of the press, distinguished gentlemen, I + bring you greetings. You are witnessing an historic occasion. + Professor Abramson, my esteemed advisor, tends to be overly modest + about His work, so I am now taking the liberty of informing you about + His latest results. If I may have the first slide, please..." + + I talked for about an hour. I said a great many things, some of + which might even have been significant. I wasn't worried, though. + When you are dealing with an audience of non-specialists, it's easy to + get them to ignore your words in favor of your pictures. + + "... and so, in conclusion, let me say that negative + probabilities and negative mass could change our entire conception of + reality. Future work on solving the Madison-Abramson-Davis Conjecture + will undoubtedly open up whole new continents of theory, and lead to + many new and exciting discoveries for the benefit of mankind. Thank + you for your kind attention." + + Dean Murphy was first to speak. "Thank you, son, that was quite + impressive, and no less than we expect from such a gifted young + researcher. We in the administration are proud of the progress + Professor Abramson has made, and consequently we would also like to + make an announcement. In consultation with Dean Mei here, we have + arranged for an award of early tenure to be given to Professor + Abramson, as a reward for his important advances in his chosen field. + We are very pleased to have such a brilliant young colleague, and look + forward eagerly to his next discoveries." + + Beautiful. Couldn't have planned it better myself. There's no + better way to get a faculty member on your side than to help him get + tenure. + + I'll skip the subsequent discussions, which primarily consisted + of my advisor making polite denials about the importance of his work, + which were naturally taken as appropriate modesty. Eventually, all + the VIP's left, leaving me alone with Professor Abramson. The video + tape was still playing in the background. + + "Congratulations, sir," I said. "It's no more than you deserve." + + He wanted to be angry with me, but couldn't. Getting tenure will + do that to you. + + "Now look, you know very well that I didn't come up with any + `revolutionary hypothesis.' What happens when nothing ever comes out + of any of this?" + + "Not to worry, sir. You just tell them that the problems are + more complex than you imagined, and that it could take years to see + practical results. Besides, what difference does it make? You are + now a tenured professor." + + That did it. Finally, even He had to laugh. "All right, you + win. Congratulations, _Dr._ Madison." + + + + One final note. Two years later, I visited Jeremy in his office + at Rocket Propulsion Associates, where he worked as a research + physicist. + + "Bob!" he said, wringing my hand. "Good to see you. What have + you been doing with yourself?" + + "My dear fellow, you have the distinct honor of addressing this + year's winner of the Golden Squiggle Award for Original Concepts in + Modern Art." + + "You became a modern artist? It figures. Only you could find a + way to make a pretentious attitude and a crazy imagination pay." + + "Please, sir, you wound me. I earned it. Don't argue with + success." + + We sat around, talking about old times and listening to his + (near) mint condition set of Pink Floyd original master recordings. + Eventually, the subject of Professor Abramson came up. Since I had + left the field soon after receiving my degree, I wasn't up on current + events. + + "Then you haven't heard?" Jeremy asked. + + "Heard what?" + + He dug up a recent copy of Physics News, and opened it to a + picture of my advisor. He had just become the youngest ever recipient + of the Nobel Prize in Physics. My jaw dropped. + + Jeremy laughed. "Apparently, there really was something to all + that stuff about negative probabilities and negative mass. Professor + Abramson managed to tie a theory for antigravity to it. They're + talking about a multi-billion dollar industry." + + Hoist by my own petard! I recovered quickly, though. + + "Nonsense," I replied. "Not `they.' We." + + "We? What do you mean, `we'?" + + Here we go again. + + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Ken Kousen is an associate research engineer at + United Technologies Research Center in East + Hartford, CT, where he works on computational + models for the aerodynamics inside turbomachines. + This story was written while he was completing his + doctoral thesis at Princeton University, which he + admits "was finished by the traditional method, + rather than the one used in the story." + --------------------------------------------------- + + + + + "Uncle Itchy" + By Heidi G. Wolfson + v5011e@TEMPLEVM.BITNET + ====================================================================== + + Uncle Itchy was the one who gently shook my sister and me awake + to announce the arrival of the family's first baby boy. To use the + word gentle in the same sentence with Uncle Itchy's name is very + unlikely, yet fitting. As a child, I would stare up at his anchor + tatoo, down at his shaking hands and up again into his anxious, red + and blue eyes. There was a gentle fright inside of Uncle Itchy that + he pushed inside himself with Seagrams. It was apparent to me then, + but dissolved from my sight over time. The only real fact that I knew + about my Uncle Itchy was that he had been in the navy. That was, for + me, the whole of his identity. He was my father's older brother and I + was a week shy of being five on the night that my brother was born, + old enough to wonder what my Uncle Itchy's job was and why he had no + wife. + + "It's a boy! Girls! Girls, you have a brother." They may be the + most gentle words my Uncle Itchy ever bestowed upon us or anyone; + still, he was our favorite adult in my grandparent's house. Uncle + Itchy would make faces behind the backs of the other grown-ups in the + room and then smile through his eyes at our giggling. + + My mother called it immaturity. My grandfather referred to it as + laziness, often calling my Uncle Itchy a schleper. Whatever it was, I + liked it. It was the thing that prompted Uncle Itchy to pay more + attention to us than our grandparents did. "I'll trade you a quarter + for your nose," he would say. + + My grandparent's house was the opposite of other places. There, + the adults were noisy and the children were quiet. My Uncle Itchy and + my father's sister, Aunt Sheila, lived at home. Aunt Sheila was + getting married that year, and would soon be out of the house. It was + not shameful for her to live at home. My Uncle Itchy was thirty-five. + He lived at home, walked boldly up and down the avenue, and tip-toed + around my grandfather. + + My grandfather had a booming voice and would criticize every one + around him. He was also riddled with aches and pains. My grandmother + was always fussing over my grandfather, making him food and coaxing + him to eat it. I used to think of her as my grandfather's pet dog. + + There was something about my grandparents' cedar smelling house + that made all adults who entered act a little bit like my grandfather. + There was a mirrored wall along the stairs. I would watch myself walk + up and down the stairs as an available form of amusement, and sing + songs to myself to block out the voices. "Lazy slob," "No good bum," + "Schlemiel," "Faird," (which meant a big, stupid horse) and so on, + talking about no one in particular and everyone in the room. Uncle + Itchy was often the sullen target. I would watch him drift into the + living room while the adults were in the dining room playing cards and + exchanging insults. From the top of the stairs I could see Uncle + Itchy in the mirror, opening the bottom door of the cabinet where the + bottles and decks of cards were kept, screwing and unscrewing the cap + of the Seagrams and taking drinks out of the bottle while keeping + sharp watch on the dining room. I wanted him to know that it was our + secret. I would stare at him through the mirror and try to send him + that message through secret brain waves. + + + + The occasional nights that my sister and I would sleep over at my + grandparent's house were the longest days and nights that I can + remember. The neighborhood was quiet and felt desolate despite the + old women that would sit on their front patios in lawn chairs. For + play, my sister and I would walk around the block and fill paper bags + with acorns. We were always in identical dresses and tight, + patent-leather shoes. We would smile at the old women. Sometimes + they would call us over and pinch our cheeks, exclaiming "Shana + Maedelachs!!" and put candy in our acorn bags. We circled and circled + the same square block. We weren't allowed to cross the street. + + The day after my brother was born, Uncle Itchy promised to take + me to the library. We walked first down to the Avenue, and Uncle + Itchy brought me a whole dill pickle, which he allowed me to hold in + my hands and eat as we walked. He never cared if I got my dress + dirty, and didn't keep after me with a napkin as the pickle juice + dribbled down my chin. He smoked cigars and said brisk "Hellos" to + people in his throaty voice. Uncle Itchy had a big nose and a black + moustache. Black, curly hair circled the sides of his head; he was + bald on top. Now I know that he wasn't a particularly tall man, but, + as we walked down the avenue I remember likening his sullen stare to a + Wooden Indian in the tobacco store and wondering if all of the people + we passed weren't just a little afraid of him. + + Uncle Itchy didn't make me hold his hand as we walked, which next + to my Grandmother's overprotection and grandfather's bossiness, was + wonderful freedom. We paused for a traffic light, and I darted + against it out into the busy Avenue. When Uncle Itchy finally caught + up with me, his face had turned white and he grabbed me with both of + his hands under my arm pits. + + "What's a matter with you? Meshugeneh! Didn't anybody ever + teach you that red means stop and green means go?" He shook me + violently and I dropped my pickle. + + "Yeah, they did," I defended as I sadly watched my pickle rock + back and forth and then settle on the dirty sidewalk. "But that's for + the cars. People are supposed to do the opposite of what the cars do + so's they don't bump into each other." + + "Lunatic, crazy person," Uncle Itchy mumbled to himself and then + held my wrist between his vice-like thumb and forefinger as we walked. + + + + My brother and I were wrestling on the carpet of the living room + in our own house, when Uncle Itchy showed up with Aunt Mable. My + brother was then five, and I was old enough to know that Uncle Itchy + had brought disgrace to the family by marrying this huge, red-haired + gentile behind everybody's back. My brother and I stopped wrestling + when the screen door opened. Uncle Itchy was proud and defiant as he + quickly led Aunt Mable to the couch. I guessed that she had to sit + down right away because her legs couldn't hold her. My mother + nervously shuffled into the living room with glasses and a pitcher of + iced tea. My brother and I stared at Aunt Mable. My mother lightly + kicked my bum with her pointed shoe when Uncle Itchy and Aunt Mable + weren't looking. + + There were rolls of flesh wagging beneath Aunt Mable's chin and + her arms were as wide as my mother's whole body. She had bright + red-orange hair piled high on her head. I wondered how she got it so + stiff and shiny. I thought that it was really a plastic wig and + fought the desire to walk over and touch it. Aunt Mable didn't say a + word. She looked at all of us with a blank expression and smiled + lovingly at Uncle Itchy. "Oh, Itch," was all she said during the + whole visit, giggling and looking down at her own fat thighs. She + seemed amused by every word that came out of Uncle Itchy's mouth. She + even looked at him lovingly when he belched real loud, as he tended to + do. + + That was the only time I ever met Aunt Mable. After she and my + Uncle Itchy were married, he didn't come to visit us very often, maybe + once a year, and when he did, he came alone. + + + + On Uncle Itchy's visits he would bring money and candy. He never + stayed in our house very long. My parents kept no booze in the house. + On each of these visits, someone would ask Uncle Itchy where Aunt + Mable was. "She's home," was his standard reply. Uncle Itchy's eyes + and nose were becoming permanently stained red. He would promise to + buy us cars and tell stories about all of the important people he knew + and all of the money he had in the bank. At the time, Uncle Itchy was + selling appliances at a downtown retail store. I had heard that he + and Aunt Mable lived in a dim, brown-paneled, one room apartment, + although I had never been there. My sister and I used to laugh about + him when he left, and then feel guilty for laughing as we each spent + the five dollars he had given us. + + "Where do you think Aunt Mable really is?" My sister once asked + me. + + "I don't know. Maybe he killed her." + + "Do you think?" + + "Yeah. And he's got her buried under the floor boards." + + "Damn," my sister said with widening eyes. "He would have had to + pull up the whole floor." + + We amused ourselves for hours, planning out Uncle Itchy's + strategies of murder. + + "He pushed her face in a lemon meringue pie and held it there + until she suffocated," my sister suggested. + + "Yeah. And then he hung her on a meat hook in the closet and did + some process on her like dried beef so he could fit her under the + floor boards." + + + + Five years went by, in which I didn't see my grandparents. My + father didn't talk to his parents. There was some blow-up in the + family that evoked this grudge. I think it had something to do with a + card game. I suspect that for most of my grandfather's life, he + didn't talk to his parents either. When I finally did see my + grandfather again, it was at my grandmother's funeral. + + Before the service, the coffin was opened for the immediate + family and the grandchildren. My grandmother was the first dead + person I had ever seen. I remember thinking that at any moment, my + grandmother would sit up in her coffin. My Aunt Sheila and my sister + were crying. My sister held my hand and reminded me of all the times + that my grandmother sat us down and her linoleum, kitchen table and + plied us with potato-latkas and luxion-kuggle. I wanted to cry, too. + I thought that everyone was looking me and thinking that I was a bad + girl for not crying for my dead grandmother. I turned away from my + sister, and looked over at Uncle Itchy. He was red-eyed, silent, and + nervously fidgeting with his keys. + + "Where's Mable?" Aunt Sheila had asked Uncle Itchy during the + Shiva. + + "Oh. She's home," Uncle Itchy said quietly. My sister and I + looked at each other and suppressed our laughter. + + + + Uncle Itchy was the first to notice my breasts. I think he + noticed them before I did. I remember my face turning red as he + commented. + + "Ooooh, looks like you're developing," he said with his Uncle + Itchy grin, red eyes and twitching moustache lurking in my disgrace. + + "Yeah." I would run out the door, letting the screen door slam + behind me, and head for the corner to drink beer with my friends. + There was a relief in being handed a cold can and pulling the tab + back. I remember the beer tasting soapy and the chore of getting it + down. There was something in the beer, however, that pulled me far + away from my family and Uncle Itchy's shaking hands. The slow, + mechanical clicking in my head replaced all thoughts and violent + emotions. My friends and I laughed and spent nights trying to climb + telephone poles or hang onto the back bumpers of moving cars in the + snow. + + + + Aunt Sheila told my sister that Aunt Mable was put in a mental + hospital because they found her wandering naked down the crowded + Avenue. I tried to picture it for a moment and then blocked the sight + out of my mind and laughed. + + "I guess she's alive, after all," I said to my sister. + + This was my teenage years, drawing to a close. There was a + feeling of the world stretched out before me that the thought of a 300 + pound, naked Aunt Mable could do very little to disturb. There was a + world beyond family to explore and I was beginning to get served in + bars. + + + + Once, in my early twenties, as my head was throbbing with + hangover and I was calling out sick from work, I thought about Uncle + Itchy. It was the second time I had called in sick that week and the + sixth time that month. The memory of my grandfather's voice, hurling + insults and accusations, disharmonized with the pounding in my head. + The exact look of Uncle Itchy's watery eyes came back to haunt me, and + then disappeared. + + + + The phone call had come like a wolf at the door on a particularly + cold, January evening. I was sitting in the dark, in my downtown + efficiency, listening to traffic and drinking brandy. The phone call + was from my sister. Aunt Sheila had asked her to call me. My sister + passed on to me all of the details that Aunt Sheila had passed onto + her. + + Uncle Itchy's friend had called Aunt Sheila to say that Uncle + Itchy had not been to work in a month and that his phone was + disconnected. Aunt Sheila went to his apartment, and when there was + no answer at the door, called the landlord to let her in. In the + apartment were my Aunt Mable and Uncle Itchy, stretched out on the + floor. They were surrounded by empty whiskey bottles and there were + empty cardboard boxes in the corner that once held cases of Seagrams. + Aunt Sheila said that the apartment was overwhelming with the smell of + urine and that the mattress and rug were covered with human + defecation. The food in the refrigerator was unidentifiable in its + mold. Aunt Mable was dead, and had been for days. Uncle Itchy was + still alive, holding onto her. + + It wasn't until I got that phone call, that I realized that Uncle + Itchy had a friend. He had a friend at work. I wonder what they + talked about. I wonder what kind of friend my Uncle Itchy was. + + My sister was going to the hospital to see Uncle Itchy the next + day. She asked me if I was going. When I didn't answer, she insisted + that if I ever wanted to see Uncle Itchy again, this was my last + chance. + + I hung up the phone and stared into my snifter. I resolved that + 'tomorrow' I would stop drinking. + + + + Uncle Itchy's eyes were open and moving with vague recognition as + my brother and sister and I stood above him. His feet were sticking + out from the bottom sheets. They were yellow and scabby and three + times as large as life. His face was yellow and bloated as well. The + only things about him that looked like Uncle Itchy were his blue, + watery eyes and the anchor tattoo on his arm. I suddenly wished I + could talk to Uncle Itchy. I wished I could tell him something, + anything. I thought about saying "I love you", but decided against + it. I wasn't sure myself if it was true, and even if it were, he + never would have believed me. + + + + The shiva was at Aunt Sheila's house. Everyone, except for my + grandfather, had fond stories to tell about Uncle Itchy. The way that + he died was never discussed. The talk made me uneasy. I escaped the + sound of the voices by going into the kitchen. On the counter was a + bottle of Seagrams. I poured myself a drink, glancing nervously over + my shoulder at the adults in the living room. I suddenly heard a + child's laughter. I looked down. Aunt Sheila's little boy was + sitting under the kitchen table, staring up at me. I winked at him as + I lifted the glass to my lips. + + + + + "Solace" + By Bill Sklar + 86730@LAWRENCE.BITNET + ====================================================================== + + I sat in the lobby playing guitar. It was my "Flamenco" phase + and music to me was often a form of fire. I remember the feel of my + fingers as my right hand struck the strings with a syncopated pulse + and my left climbed up and down the fretboard with rhythmic ferocity. + People sat near me, watching and listening, but I noticed them only + incidentally. My mind was occupied with the music. + + John walked into the room. I looked up. He grinned. He opened + his trumpet case and started to warm up. I continued to play, + nervously looking forward to his participation. I went into an + uncharacteristic scherzo-- my thumb plucking a pizzicato bass while my + index and middle fingers played an arabic dance. Then without thought + I moved back into my original theme. I was watching myself create. + My hands knew more than my brain what was to come next. + + John piped in with a soft flurry of notes. I smiled and relaxed, + letting him take the lead for awhile. My strumming grew sparser, and + his tone grew fuller, painting the room a regal rustic red. The + rapport was better than usual. John and I had played together for a + long time, but it was rarely this good. My mind was cleared of + extraneous thought as I grew more and more oblivious to the world + around me. The beat led me like nothing else could. + + John too was the music's willing slave. He played a theme and I + echoed it back, giving it a slight variation and he returned the + favor. It felt so smooth, so lucid, as if nothing could possibly go + wrong. We were one with the melody, the harmony, and for a single + moment, we were one together as well. Suddenly John dropped out, + leaving me to face the music alone. The beat wavered a little and I + felt suddenly lost. + + I looked at him, somewhat annoyed. He grimaced as he moved the + trumpet back to his lips and inhaled deeply. Suddenly we were flying. + Before I knew what was happening, John was at double tempo, and made a + deliberate effort to avoid every melody I approached. I chased him, + kept trying to pin his theme down, but every moment I reached a + connection, he found a new tangent and moved on it as if he were + racing with the wind. + + "You bastard!" I wanted to scream, "It was going so damn well! + Where the hell are you going now?" and yet his melodies mocked me, + taunting "catch me if you can." + + My fingers were driven by vengeance. I wanted to win that + melody. I wanted to find it and tie it down, so my fingers moved to + match John's tempo. My tendons began to ache. My fingers grew sore. + I kept chasing. My hands began to sweat. + + Resigned, I stopped, letting him carry the last moment of the + song. It was his show now, he would be the one to move it through and + follow the action, though I was still fuming with anger for the way he + had edged me out. + + Upon stopping, however, I was able to sit back and listen. The + turmoil, I noticed, was hardly what I had felt it to be. This new + view showed me something different and I heard a melody for the first + time from the ears not of a performer but a listener. I felt ashamed + -- ashamed that I had tried to interfere with his theme, and ashamed + that I had been angry with him for taking on his own song. + + I carefully edged myself back into the song. We finished it as a + duo, separate, yet joined -- alone yet together. John's cheeks above + me blow air through his golden horn. I caressed his flourish with a + cadential strum and the room exploded into a laudatory roar. I looked + at John, and he back at me. "It's time," our eyes said to one + another, "It's time to move on." + + I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. He stroked my hair as + the crowd dispersed. It was over between us, we both knew, but to let + him go was so hard. The music was good, sometimes great, but it + wasn't enough simply to make beautiful music together. My head ached + for a second, resisting the moment I knew was about to come. He put + his trumpet away. I watched him move, wanting to hold him next to me. + I didn't touch him again. I knew I couldn't handle it if I did. From + across the room I waved a warm goodbye, holding back my tears. As he + left he blew me a kiss. I still feel it to this day. + + I turned away, and picked up my guitar. I started into a solace, + but the notes didn't come together. I tried again, and still it + didn't feel right. I put the guitar down. I paused for a moment. + "Alone again," I thought, and looked back at my instrument. I paused + again. "But I've still got you," I added aloud. + + I picked it up once again, and struck a gentle chord. I started + into a solace -- it flowed like never before. I could feel it working + itself within me, though it was painful. The music knew, better than + I, what had to be done. It hurt so much, trying to hold onto those + memories. "Let go," it told me. "Let go." + + My hands were becoming their own masters again. I watched and + listened as they played with bittersweet simplicity. I took a breath + and exhaled a sigh of relief. Alone we sat, me and my music, but we + were no longer slaves to the sounds of another. I fell into song. + Tears streamed down my face and rather than hold them in this time, I + let them stream. The song flowed in unison and I reached a harmony + with myself. With the tears still flowing, I laughed aloud, my joy + complementing my sorrow in a rubato rhythm of fire and ice. My fear + dissipated and my hope soared. "Finally," I thought. "Finally I am + alive." I strummed like mad and my voice bellowed with joyous agony. + The pain flowed as I released it -- the wounds bled, "but oh so much + better to feel this pain," I thought, "then to be denied the chance to + embrace it." Blood coursed through my veins and I was aware of every + last corpuscle -- I felt the pulse inside me in tune with the rhythm + of my music. + + I allowed the melody to end itself. My heart relaxed and I wiped + away my tears as I put my guitar away. "It's over," I thought aloud, + half-smiling. "Time to go home." + + --------------------------------------------------- + Bill Sklar is a musician with interests in + filmmaking, photography, fiction writing, and + sexuality issues.

I have survived the fight, and it feels very good. + I know I have been cut but I cannot feel it because I am still too + full of battle lust. I am still furious, and the passion rises inside + me, crashing, demanding more. I am still hungry, but there are no + more enemies. + + The sun is reddening, threatening to leave the sky and I curse at + it for depriving me of light. The handle of my sword is slick with + sweat and blood. I tighten my grip and swing at nothing. + + There are bodies everywhere. Some are still moving and some will + be fertilizer for the soil. I notice the sky, the land, the smell of + death, the sounds of pain. I walk towards the rise, still swinging my + sword, towards the mountains that ring the valley that we won today. + This is fertile land, and now that we have fed it with the blood of + our enemies it will be even more fertile. + + Our enemies. They resisted us and so we killed them. Their + farms, their mills, their animals, their wealth, are now our + inheritance. I remember how they fought, not as warriors but as + farmers, clumsy and slow. It is what happens to a people who settle + to become workers of the land and forget the skills that made them + masters of men. This will never happen to us. I will teach my + children as I was taught, I will see to it that they are always + warriors first and farmers second. + + There are children in the piles of bodies. My kin collect more + dead even as the pile is lit on fire. I should stay and help, but + there is still too much of the battle in me. + + I walk towards the mountains again. The land is steep, and I + push myself to walk faster, and it feels good. + + The sky is dark in front of me. After a while I stop, breathing + heavily. I look out on the valley that is now ours. The moon hangs + on the edge of the sky, as full as it can be, so bright the stars + nearby have vanished. Smoke rises from the fire below, painting the + moon dusty red. + + The moon holds my gaze. The sun is life, but the moon is a + mystery, and I do not know what it is good for. It does not fight. + It does not change us, it only changes itself, over and over again. + + I turn and walk again up into the darkness of the hills. Around + me are trees, birds and the sounds of night. + + The battle is over and I have killed and somehow it is not + enough. I recall every hand that was raised against me today, every + cry, every death. It is important that I remember each death + carefully, for each one brings me life. + + I look at the valley again, watching the fires. My sword has + grown heavier, fed with blood. It feels alive in my hand, hot, + fevered, and I am hot, too. The night air has begun to cool me, but I + am still much too warm, and sweat gathers under my leather. + + I hear a step behind me. I have turned almost instantly, my + blade raised, ready, hungry, and the sound stops suddenly silent. + + In the moonlight there is a girl. She looks almost a woman, but + the moonlight washes her color and the color of the rags she wears so + I cannot be sure. She is one of them, I know, a villager, the enemy. + She must have run to the hills to escape the battle. + + Her eyes are wide. She thought that I was one of her own, come + to take her back to the valley. + + She backs away towards the trees, but I have already caught her + by her hair and arm. She cries, at me, at the night, terror and + anger, and I grab her and throw her to the ground. + + Now I sheath my sword. I do not need it for her. + + I straddle her on the ground, pinning her. She is small beneath + me. She pleads wordlessly for a few moments and I hit her to make her + quiet. I tear the rags away from her chest and stomach. She is + slender, just at the first change of life, and she squirms to get + away. + + I take out my knife. She cries and I hit her again. Her hair + fans out around her head on the ground and I take a handful, tilting + her head back to expose her neck. I hold my knife close and I think + about where I want to cut first. + + Suddenly she goes limp under me. I look at her face, thinking + that she has fainted, and I see her looking back at me. I hold the + knife against her neck a moment, and cut a bit to draw blood. She + closes her eyes and I watch the trickle of blood run down her neck. + + Her eyes are open again. There is a look on her face, and it is + not one of fear. She is going to her death and she is not afraid and + this makes me angry. I hit her across the face with my fist, with the + handle of my knife, and she exhales as her head turns. I dig the tip + of my knife into her chin and turn her head to me to look at me, to + see in her eyes if she is afraid yet. + + She is not. I grab her breast and slowly I dig my nails into her + chest, raking lines across her skin. She looks past me, into the + night sky. I search her face again for fear, for any reaction. The + moonlight makes her face very pale. She might be dead already. + + I decide that it is time to finish this. I place my knife + against her ribs, angling to slide the blade through, into her heart, + but I do not. She looks at me now and I do not look away. + + I know I must kill her. We do not take prisoners and she is + enemy. But there is something in her eyes that I have never seen + before. For a long moment I do not move. + + She waits, and I wonder what to do. This is not right. She + should be afraid. She should resist. She should fight me, fight + death. It is right and good to fight death. + + I growl and I grab her neck and I shake her. She winces and + cries out, and then she is quiet again and without expression. I + position the knife once more, ready to put my weight into the + movement, but everything feels wrong and I hesitate again, angry at my + hesitation, my confusion. I struggle to find the answers before this + moment is past understanding. + + As I look into her eyes something new comes into my mind and I + begin to understand. She breathes still, but somehow she has already + given up her life. How can I take what she has already given away? + Her eyes are so strange and calm. I am drawn in and caught. + + I shake my head to clear my thoughts. This is a moment of death, + but she is already dead. How can that be? I hold the knife but I + cannot move my hand to kill her. + + And then, suddenly, the warrior inside me decides, and the blade + plunges deep into her. She cries loudly now, with pain, but her eyes + are still fixed on mine and mine on hers. She convulses under me, and + I lie on her, I embrace her with my body, breathing with her as she + breathes, breathes for the last time, watching her eyes as they watch + mine, watching her, seeing her die. + + Long moments pass. Her eyes are open but they do not see, and I + close them for her. + + I pull my knife out of her body. I wipe her blood off the blade + on her body and then I sheath my weapon. + + I look at her a for a while. The moonlight makes the blood on + her black and her face white. I stand slowly, looking at the stars, + not looking down, yet I see her eyes as I walk back down the mountain. + They stare at me, clear, calm, alive. + + Now the blood-lust has finally left me. I do not understand what + has happened, what I have done, what it means. How have I killed what + was already dead? I wonder if I have been cheated somehow, and the + thought makes me angry. + + I stop walking to let my anger cool. + + A doe bolts into my path, freezes. Her eyes meet mine for a + moment, glinting in the moonlight, and then she bounds away into the + brush. + + I realize that the girl has won. Slowly I smile. + + The moon shines on me as I walk down the hills, away from my most + recent battle. My enemy lies dead on the ground behind me and I + realize that I have lost and she has won. I don't know how, exactly, + but I know it is true. + + I look at the moon and I almost think that I understand what it + is for now, what its mystery is about, but I am not sure. I must + think about what has happened, about this battle, and about the moon. + + I will stay outside with the moon every night until I understand + this thing. Eventually I will win the battle that I have just lost. + + + --------------------------------------------------- + Sonia is a software engineer by trade.

Gradually, + free time has become an increasingly sparse luxury for me, which may + be evident from the sporadic distribution schedule Athene has had + lately. This latest delay has shown me that it is time for a slight + change in the way the magazine is put together each month. + + The most time-consuming factor is in reviewing the many story + submissions that arrive. Currently, I sometimes don't even get to + read a story until weeks after I have received it. Not only is this a + pain for the author who submits it, but I sometimes feel like I am in + a hurry to get the work done. But, the best work isn't done at a + hurried pace. + + What Athene needs is a few good assistant editors. As a group, + we would have an expanded view of each submission, and I would get + some idea of other people's opinions of a story instead of relying + completely on my own. Hopefully, this will only improve the quality + of the magazine. If nothing else, it will help to keep Athene on time + each month. I would like to hear from anyone who is interested in + becoming part of the Athene staff in this respect. + + So, it's been forever since the last issue, but in a way it was + worth it. This issue is one of the best ever, with four excellent + stories. Three of the four featured authors this month have appeared + in Athene before, and I would like to send a special thank-you out to + these people who continue to write good stories for us. And of + course, I welcome all newcomers who wish to contribute as well. + + For those readers who receive the text version of Athene on IBM + CMS mainframes, Bill Harvey has written an XEDIT macro that adds + carriage control, page numbers, and page titles to your file for more + attractive printouts. If you would like a copy of this program, Bill + can be reached at HARVEY@WUVMD.BITNET. + + I'm not going to make any predictions on when the next issue will + be out, but I can assure everyone that there will not be another delay + like the one we just finished. I already have more stories to rewiew + for August, but, as always, I would enjoy seeing some new faces. In + the meantime, I hope you enjoy this July issue. + + + + + "Pearl Highway" + By Phillip Nolte + NU020061@NDSUVM1.BITNET + ====================================================================== + + On December 7, 1941 the Japanese Imperial Navy staged a + vicious and very effective attack on the United States Naval + base at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands. The result + was the loss of many lives and the almost total destruction + of the U.S. Pacific fleet. Suddenly, overnight, America + was a reluctant and unready participant in the conflict of + nations that is referred to as World War II. + + That action will be remembered as one of the most infamous + sneak attacks in history... + + + Jap cars, thought Marvin, the damned things look like they were + designed by some alien from outer space. Front wheel drive, engines + mounted sideways, bodies made of tin foil, he shook his head. Give me + American any time! And not those damned American cars that are trying + to be just like the Japs either. No sir! Give me an American car + with some metal in it and lots of good old-fashioned V-8 horsepower. + + Auto repair was Marvin's moonlight occupation, one that he + preferred to his regular job. In the evenings or, like today -- on + Saturdays, he could usually be found working out in the big double + garage behind his house -- A garage that was really a well- equipped + workshop. Marvin was in his mid-fifties with the lines and creases in + his face to prove it but his short, stout body was still as hard as + steel. In fact, around his neighborhood, Marv's incredible strength + was legend; stories abounded. No slave to fashion, he was wearing a + ragged and incredibly dirty pair of coveralls over a faded and + nearly-as-soiled red flannel shirt -- clothing that was practical and + couldn't be damaged much further, no matter what he did. He wore his + graying red hair in an efficient and equally practical crew-cut. Up + on the shelf above his workbench, a battered and grease-spotted old + radio was droning a country-western song as he worked under the hood + of a late model Nissan Sentra. + + Oh well, he thought, Jap or not, a minor tune-up and valve + adjustment was good for about fifty bucks. Not bad for an hour's + work. The price was not at all out-of-hand, Marvin was a pretty good + mechanic. + + He was almost done, ready to replace the cam-cover and take her + out for a test run to make sure everything worked the way it was + supposed to when his wife Dorothy called him into the house to answer + the phone. It was Dean Torkildsen, a friend of Marv's from the local + university where both men worked. Dean was a foreman in the + carpenter's shop and Marv drove the campus garbage truck. Dean had + run into something strange while trying to install a trailer hitch on + the family car. He didn't think he could handle it and could he come + over and have Marv take a look at it? + + Marvin told him about half an hour. + + He was just parking the little blue car in the street when Dean + pulled up into the driveway in his own Sentra, nearly identical to the + one Marvin had just parked except that Dean's was red and it was a + wagon. Dean grabbed a cardboard box off the passenger seat and + unfolded his long, lanky frame out of the little car. The flaps of + the box were open, revealing a mound of trailer hitch parts, plastic + wrappers, electrical wires, and installation instructions. + + "Mornin' Marv," said Dean, balancing the awkward load as he + entered the garage. "Really appreciate you takin' the time to help me + out." + + "No sweat," replied Marvin. "What's the problem?" + + "Well, everything was goin' just fine," replied Dean, setting the + box and its jumbled assortment of parts down on Marv's not very neat + workbench. He rummaged around in the box until he found the paper + mounting template, turned it right side up, and pointed to the spot in + question. "Until I had to drill a hole, right there, in the frame, to + bolt the stupid thing on." His voice took on a note of concern as he + continued. "I hit something inside the frame rail with the drill. I + don't know what the hell it is, Marv. I mean I've even got the shop + manual for my Sentra and it just doesn't show this thing. I'm really + worried that I screwed something up." + + "Bring her in," said Marvin. "We'll put her up on the jack and + have a look." + + Marvin stood at the end of the garage stall and guided him in. + When Marv was satisfied with the alignment, Dean turned off the + ignition and again squeezed out of the tiny car, like some kind of + wingless praying mantis emerging from an egg case of red metal and + glass. Marvin rolled his hydraulic jack around to the back of the car + and, with a few powerful strokes, lifted the rear end up off the + floor. After carefully placing two jackstands under the frame to + insure that it was safe, he crawled under the little car to see what + the problem was. + + An hour's worth of work poking, prodding and cussing had Marvin + confused too. Dean had drilled right through the middle of some kind + of electrical device. Marv pointed out that Dean had made the mistake + of reversing the hitch kit's mounting template. As a result, he had + drilled the hole in the wrong place. It seemed like a simple enough + error but Marvin had not only checked Dean's shop manual, but two of + his own and no hint of what the thing might be could be found. In + addition, he'd never seen anything like it before and he'd worked on a + lot of cars. Marvin was indeed puzzled. + + Dean had obviously destroyed whatever it was or at least severely + damaged it, but the car seemed none the worse for it -- everything + still worked perfectly. + + "I'm gonna get my air chisel and open up the hole a little so's + we can take the damned thing out," said Marvin, showing some of his + frustration. "Maybe the Nissan dealer can just give us a new one." + + A couple of minutes work with the air chisel and Marvin was able + to remove the mystery part. He disconnected a black electrical lead + and emerged triumphantly from under the car, handing the prize to + Dean, who took it gingerly. The two men then piled into Marvin's 1974 + Ford LTD Station wagon and headed off, in plush and smooth V-8 + comfort, to the Nissan dealer. + + An hour later they were back, as confused as ever. The Nissan + parts man had never seen anything like it and he'd been in the + business for more than twenty years. They had left with the man + chuckling after them, convinced that they were trying to play some + kind of elaborate joke on him. + + "Let's open the sonofabitch up," said Dean, after they were again + in the garage. "It's for damned sure wrecked and the car still works + fine. What have we got to lose?" + + "Hand me that pliers," said Marvin. + + The "thing" was slender canister about six inches long and one + inch in diameter. Dean's drill had hit it near one end -- from the + side. A couple of thin copper wires hung loosely from the rather + jagged hole. Marv peeled back the thin metal skin of the canister + with the pliers to expose the innards of the strange device. After + five minutes of intense concentration, it lay disassembled on the + workbench. + + It was really quite simple. There was a small cylinder about + four inches long, covered with paper. Dean's drill bit had severed + the wires that connected it to a tiny bundle of electronic components. + + "You ever take a radio apart, Marv?" asked Dean. "I ain't no + expert but that thing looks like some kind of transmitter." + + "Could be," said Marvin. "Look at this, the little paper + cylinder has some kind of plastic goop in it." + + Their eyes met and grew large as the suddenly obvious truth + occurred to both men at the same time. + + "That thing is a God-damned bomb!" said Dean, backing quickly + away from the workbench, his voice quavering. + + "What've you been doing lately, Dean?" asked Marvin, taking the + hint and backing away too. He shifted his gaze back and forth between + the device and his friend. "Runnin' drugs? Messin' with the Mafia? + By God, you must have pissed somebody off!" + + "I swear to God I haven't done nothing like that," said Dean. + "This is really weird, Marv. It's gotta be some kind of mistake." He + looked pleadingly at his friend. "Marv, what are we gonna do?" + + "I don't know! Let me think a minute!" said Marvin. He went + cautiously back up to the device and, without touching it, studied it + for a few minutes. "There's only one thing to do," he said. "We need + someone who knows somethin' about bombs. Let's call the Captain." + + "Yeah!" said Dean, with relief. "The Captain. He'll know what + to do!" + + E. W. Strang, the Captain, lived only a couple of blocks away. + He was also associated with the university -- as an ROTC officer. He + and Marv and Dean were avid football fans. In fact, they often sat + together on the forty-yard line at the university's home games, which + is how they came to be friends in the first place. Strang was a man + with an interesting, one might even say fascinating, past. Before + getting involved in college life he had served in 'Nam where his area + of expertise had been in that of E.O.D. (Explosives and Ordinance + Disposal) -- Strang had disarmed booby traps and unexploded shells for + a living! He hadn't actually disarmed any live ordinance lately but + he still had the steel nerves and sure fingers required. Well, at + least he was pretty sure he still did. The experience had prepared + him well for his present career -- after disarming bombs and such, + almost any kind of job would have been a snap! + + Strang was there in just under five minutes. Trim, athletic and + all-business, he had a military look about him -- even in casual + clothing. He stood ramrod straight with his short, dark hair neatly + combed and parted. The red sport shirt he was wearing fit him + perfectly -- so perfectly that it looked brand new, like it had just + come off the rack and even his faded blue jeans had a knife-edge + crease down the front. He cautiously approached the device on + Marvin's work bench. + + "It's a bomb," he declared, after a brief examination. "But + don't worry, it's safe, probably has been since you cut the red wire. + Besides that black lead has to hook up to a battery of some kind. + Where the hell did you guys get this?" + + "You ain't gonna believe this, Cap'n, but we found it in my car." + said Dean, still obviously shaken. + + "It's a nice piece of work," said the Captain. "This little + cylinder is a charge of plastique explosive. That other thing is a + receiver. Just a simple radio signal and kaboom! You're history. + What've you been doing, Dean? You must have pissed somebody off!" + + Dean just shook his head and looked even more miserable. + + "Maybe not," said Marvin, his voice muffled. + + The two men looked around at the sound of his voice, finally + noticing that Marvin's legs were sticking out from under the car + again. + + "I've been thinkin'. The way that thing was buried in the frame + here, someone would've had to go to a hell of a lot of trouble to put + it there. No, by the way it looks, I'd hafta say it's more likely the + damned thing was built into the car, right from the factory!" He + crawled out from under the car, stood up and looked around for a rag + to wipe his hands. He found one, but from the looks of it, it was + highly unlikely that his hands would be any cleaner after contact with + it. Seeming not to notice, he wiped his hands with it anyway. + + "Why would they want to do somethin' like that to my car?" asked + Dean, with a puzzled frown. + + "I don't know anything about why, but whoever put it there sure + picked a perfect spot," said Marvin. "That thing was only inches away + from the gas tank and the rear brake lines. If that bomb had gone + off, the tank and the brakes would've both gone with it. Your car + would've become a flaming runaway. Not something I'd care to be in + out on the freeway!" + + "No shit, Marv," said the Captain, getting into the game. "She'd + have been a handful on the freeway but, make no mistake, that bomb + would've raised a lot of hell even if the car was just innocently + parked in the garage!" + + "God-damned foreign-built junk!" spat Marvin. "Wouldn't surprise + me if all them God-damned Nissans had bombs in them!" + + "C'mon, Marv!" said Dean, "I know you ain't got a high regard for + Japanese cars, but that's ridiculous -- Even a little sick!" + + "Well, why don't we just find out if I'm right?" said Marvin. + + "And how are you gonna do that?" asked Dean. + + "There's another Sentra right out there in the street," replied + Marvin, "Let's bring it in and see if it's got one of those things in + it too." + + The other two men agreed that the idea sounded pretty good. + + They immediately drove the little car into the garage, jacked it + up and carefully opened up an inspection hole in the same spot on the + frame where they had found the bomb in Dean's car. To their horror + they found an identical device. + + "Ain't that a son of a bitch!" said Dean, "Somebody wanna tell me + just what the hell is going on?" + + "I don't have a clue," said the Captain. "But it sure looks like + trouble. If every Nissan in town has one of those things in it and + they start going off, there's no way that the cops and the fire + department could possibly keep up with all the calls! Jesus, what a + mess!" + + "Well, what if it ain't just Nissan," said Marvin, listing the + possibilities and ticking them off on his fingers. "How 'bout Toyota, + Mazda, Honda, Mitzubishi -- all those damned Jap cars? Listen you + guys, how many times have you heard about one of those little cars + blowing up when they get rear-ended? If you ask me now, I'd say it's + probably those damned bombs going off that's the cause of it!" + + "I thought those were Ford Pintos?" said Dean. + + "Don't kid yourself," said the Captain, "There's a lot of + Japanese parts, even on American cars. It really wouldn't be all that + much trouble to build in a bomb like this one. If you weren't looking + for it you'd never find it!" + + "What the hell have we found?" asked Dean. Then he scared + himself even more. "Holy shit! Captain, do you really think they + could all be set off at once?" + + "Why not?" replied the Captain. "They could use a satellite + broadcast and blanket the whole country!" + + "Can you imagine something like the Brooklyn Bridge or the Golden + Gate with twenty-five or thirty out-of-control, flaming little Jap + cars on them?" said Marvin. "The bridge becomes totally useless in + less than two minutes!" + + "How about the rush hour traffic in Los Angeles or New York or + any of our major cities?" said the Captain. "That would slow up the + traffic a bit! It boggles the mind -- flaming cars careening out of + control, fires in garages and parking lots and service stations -- the + entire country would be in chaos! We'd be helpless!" + + The announcer on Marv's country-western station broke in on a + Merle Haggard song with a late-breaking news headline. He was + laughing so hard he could barely read it. + + "This just in from Washington. Ha Ha!" said the announcer, "The + Japanese ambassador has just delivered an ultimatum (chuckle). If the + United States Government doesn't immediately begin proceedings to turn + over the rule of the country to Japan, they will begin to take + action." + + "And we thought Pearl Harbor was a Japanese sneak attack!" said + Dean, shaking his head. "It ain't nothin' compared to what this is + gonna be!" + + "Yeah," said the Captain, "This time it'll be a sneak attack on + the roads that carry the very lifeblood of our nation, sort of + a...'Pearl Highway'!" Gentlemen, say good-bye to our much vaunted + transportation system!" + + The broadcast was interrupted by a pause while the announcer + regained control of himself. The three friends looked at one another. + None of them felt much like laughing. They didn't share the + announcer's scepticism either. They quickly moved both of the little + Jap cars a safe distance away from Marv's garage and waited + expectantly for the action to begin. It was not an overlong wait. + + "Kaawump!" The little blue Sentra sedan went up in searing, + smoking blast of yellow flame. "Kaawump! Kaawump!" The red RX-7 down + the block with the "KUTI PI" license plate and the Jones's shiny new + black Honda Accord went too. Here and there even an occasional late + model American vehicle became a flaming car-bomb as a strategically + placed Japanese component went Kamikaze. Marvin did have one small + consolation. In spite of the uproar going on around it, his loyal, + true blue, made-in- the-USA Ford LTD wagon remained untouched by the + carnage. + + + ...The so-called "Pearl Highway" affair will also be + remembered as a notorious sneak attack. But when a nation + initiates a war should its objective be to lose that war? + Or should it instead attempt to create the most favorable + environment possible? The answer is obvious: Wars are + fought to be won! The Japanese nation would have had little + chance against the mighty U.S. Navy in World War II and + they would have fared poorly in the War of 1995 also without + employing these brilliant surprise tactics. Sneak attack? + We remain the only nation on earth that has had nuclear + weapons used against us -- weapons that were used by the + United States of America.

O'Donnell + Atropos@Drycas.Club.CC.CMU.EDU + Copyright 1990 David B. O'Donnell + ====================================================================== + + My friends tell me that I'm in the grip of an "unnatural + possession", but I know better than that. You see, I can't stand the + color blue. Any shade of it. Every time I see something that's blue, + I break down into tears. My psychoanalyst shakes his head, pats me on + the back, and charges me $90 an hour. But that's about the limit of + his help. I don't really blame him, I wouldn't want to have to + counsel me either. Poor fellow has to remove everything from his + office that's blue - he even can't wear blue underwear anymore, I can + tell when he has it on. I guess it could be worse - I could be unable + to stand the presence of green, or yellow. Well, come to think of it, + I can stand the sky, and water and they are blue. But every time I + see someone wearing blue, or a blue Audi drives by, it brings back + memories. + + We met, like most people do, by accident. I was at a party in + New York City, given by the new-wave activist artist J------. It was + one of those open ones that everyone seems to know about so no + invitations were necessary. I saw him by one of the large paintings, + a study in blue of the PWA ward at some nameless New York hospital. + He appeared to be studying it intently, until one followed his gaze + past the edge of the painting, to the cluster of pseudo-intellectuals + raving over some small erotic sculpture in bronze. He wasn't + interested in the painting nearly as much as he was interested in what + was in the faded jeans of the "Villagers". Someone - Joan, I think - + who knew us both and had an eye for potentials brought me over to meet + him. I was shy, then, not nearly as reclusive as I have been, but + certainly not an "out" person. You chuckled over the difficulty Joan + (?) had saying my last name correctly, and then proceeded to greet me + in flawless Romanian. At least I thought it was flawless - I can't + speak a word of the language, never had an aptitude for anything more + foreign than a few pieces of Yiddish. + + It wasn't much of a meeting, that is certain, and I probably + would have never seen him again, except that somehow we met in the + airport as I was preparing to head out West for graduate work at + Berkeley. I am sure it was fate then for he was going to the same + place, for the same reason. Fate is an evil bitch. At the party, I + was led to believe you were at least moderately well-off, by the + studied way your clothes looked tailored to be second-hand. Your + luggage assured me you were more than fairly well-off, though. It + placed you a few steps up on the social ladder from me, and I was + happy to let it slide by and let us go our separate ways. Already I + could sense a growing enjoyment in staring into your slate-grey eyes, + which constantly seemed to shift from that grey to a deep, almost + midnight blue. In fact I recall clearly having this terrible + fantastic desire to run my fingers through your hair when I saw you at + the gate to our jet; I've always loved black hair, especially in the + curled cut yours was in then and that you favored. You said + something, which I missed, and I was even more embarrassed. Luckily + we were several rows apart, you being in first class, and I somewhere + in the desolate wastes of "economy" class, wedged between a fat, + sweaty housewife from Chicago and a neurotic banker who kept taking + his briefcase, opening it, murmuring incoherently, then closing and + restowing it. He never did a damn thing with it. + + Look - I've switched persons already. Sigh. I had hoped to keep + this impersonal, but it's not possible. At least the screen isn't + blue; you and that damn color! + + Thankfully the graphic arts program at Berkeley was just large + enough that we seldom crossed paths. But every time, you were wearing + something blue, to accent your complexion. I began to pick you out + across the campus by your clothing, by your lilting voice which always + greeted me in Romanian. By the time we were sleeping together, I'd + learned how to say "Hello" and "Good Afternoon" in Romanian; I guess + that is good, at least. + + I'm going to diverge from the usual here and not bother to + describe California. Yes it was sunny and yes there were beautiful + bodies everywhere. The state flower should be a fucking Narcissus. I + managed to get a tan, something next to impossible to accomplish in + the dreary climates out East, and I lost weight. I even joined a + health club, though I soon quit when, passing by one day, I saw you + entering with your gym bag. I don't know why I tried to avoid you + with such fervor - I should have known by then we were fated to be + together, and that I was fated to lose you. + + New Year's Eve, 198-. No date, no snow, no celebration with my + new colleagues at the Technical Publications House I now worked at. + Instead I was in a bar - not quite a dive, I decided to step up a bit + for once and enjoy myself, even if it was alone. Now, don't get me + wrong: I wasn't celibate before we met. I am not the best looking man + in the world, but I am good-looking enough to be able to get a trick + when the need for release becomes overwhelming. It all sounds so + lurid now, the one night stands or occasional week-long flings, but I + was never much for permanency either. In two years, I went through + three apartments, five battles with my parents (who still expected me + to marry a nice girl and raise kids - Yecch), two beat-up Volkswagons, + and ten affairs. On the average, I had sex once every two weeks. Not + bad (though I could have done better among the timid sex-starved + Midwesteners where I grew up) but not enough. Funny, isn't it? I'm + mister impermanent, and yet the thing I desire the most in life is + security. "Big Fat Hairy Deal". + + So there I was, New Year's Eve, alone, in a bar, with no one I + knew around, staring into a drink. So wrapped up in memory no one + even thought to try and pick me up - or if they did, I was too + absorbed in the colored liquors to care. I wasn't very drunk - I + needed to drive across town to get home later - but I was loose enough + that I didn't immediately cringe when someone dressed in midnight blue + sat down across the table from me. Of course I knew it was you. No + one else smells that color. Smelled, that is. Sigh. + + We chatted, though god only knows how, for over an hour. You + were doing well, working on your thesis. I was nearly done with mine. + You weren't seeing anyone, and wondered how I was doing? It was so + obvious, I missed it completely. To this day I think you were simply + too drunk to realize who you were talking to. And I was too drunk to + realize that I was too hooked on you to possibly go home with you. Of + course, we did. I have to admit, it was wonderful. Your apartment + was tastefully done - in blues, of course - and you were far the + superior love-maker. By the third time (it was nearly sunny out) I + meant it when I said "I love you" and you were even replying in kind. + We could have stopped it, then. We should have. + + Instead, that next weekend, you called me. I don't know how you + got my number - Joan, maybe? - I know it wasn't listed, and she is + about the only person I still talked to from out East. It doesn't + really matter; the damage was done, and nothing we can say or do will + avert the past. You called, you goddamn faggot, and invited me to a + party of all things - that silly activist J------ was in town, and you + wanted to commemorate our "first happenstance crossing". Sigh. Why + did I acquiesce? I really detested the man's work, it had no taste + whatsoever. I told you that, when we got there, expecting - hoping? + - that you would fly into a huff and take me home, never to see me + again. Not a chance. No, you agreed with me, said that the only + reason you went to his stupid parties was to gaze fondly at the + too-tight asses of the pseudos who always hung around his stuff. I + had to laugh at that, since there were only women at the party that + night (other than the host, his lover, and us). So we cut out and + went to see a film that had just debuted. A mindless comedy - + something with the guy from "Mr. Mom" I think - but we barely watched + it. Instead we held hands! Of all the pubescent things to do. But I + relished your touch, feeling your thin, almost fragile hands, sensing + the warmth of your body through the fabric of your (dark blue) shirt. + It seemed so natural that we would go back to my apartment, + eclectically furnished. You loved cats, you said. That was the + clincher for me, I was yours, body and soul. Three weeks later, you + moved in. Sigh. + + Life with you was - wonderful? stupendous? - certainly the most + enjoyable time I ever had. You were witty, you loved cats, you liked + my work, and listened to my critiques with rapt attention. You + weren't pushy, but after time it was clear that in matters of the + home, you were the master. The redecorating was gradual, and at that + time blue was only another color, albeit one I associated with you. + You cooked well, and made me breakfast in bed on Saturday's. You even + gave up your church for me, when it was clear that I was terribly + unhappy going. I loved you with every ounce of my will. How could + you do what you did to me?! + + Four years, two apartments - larger each time - and an Audi + (yours) later. Me, a successful consultant to several large + advertising agencies. You, finishing your Doctoral thesis. Five + cats; Malachi, Gabriel, Fuffi, Esmerelda, and Clarice. Joint checking + account. I even started hyphenating my last name with yours. Your + picture was everywhere in my office, and everyone was always + commenting on what a lovely couple we made. Then one day, I came + home, and you weren't there. It wasn't unusual at first; often you + were gone for long stretches of time, putting the finishing touches on + your thesis at school. The apartment felt a little funny, but I + didn't realize there was anything wrong till I went to get ready for + bed, and found your clothes gone. No note. No forwarding address. + No phone number. The police just laughed at me. Called me a "queer" + on the phone, first time anyone's ever done that to me. I had a hairy + fit. + + No one knew where you were. Well, maybe Joan. But she wasn't + telling. It wasn't until almost a year later that I heard from you. + Your lawyer called, it was a Friday afternoon in August. I had just + finished off a huge presentation for a large firm in the area, and was + ready to head out of the office to hit the bars. I still thought of + you a lot, but as the time passed, moss grew on your memories, and I + started to go out again. I wasn't seeing anyone, but I was getting + more offers to move in with the guys I was sleeping with. At home, + four cats remained; Fuffi, your favorite, had been struck by a car a + month after your absence, and killed immediately. The decor was the + same, though perhaps a little more of me was projected into the + arrangement in the kitchen. I was becoming something of a chef, with + the resources your books provided. Instead of leaving immediately, + though, I had stopped by the receptionist, to wish her a happy weekend + and congratulate her on her engagement to a nice Jewish lawyer (really + a schmuck but well-off, and from what I'd heard well-hung, so who's to + argue with that?). I had a message, she said. To call some "Shyster + and So-and-so and Sons" in New York City. I didn't know who it was, + but she said it sounded important, so I went back to my office and + called. + + I think the entire office heard my scream, though everyone was + conspicuously absent when I finally left the office and drove home. + Your mother called me that night - had been calling all day - she + wanted to contest the will. You had left me everything you owned, a + fairly sizable chunk of cash and bonds, and she didn't think I was fit + to get it. My lawyer talked to hers, and a few months later I was a + couple hundred thousand richer. Whoopie. You were gone. Without a + sound you had left my life, and had gone off to Europe to die in a + clinic. They wouldn't tell me at first, but I knew why. I remembered + that painting, in that trite little gallery in New York so long ago. + I knew what had happened to you. + + Of course I was tested, immediately. I was in the clear, by some + twist of malign fate. You died, I lived. I went home and tore + everything down, made a complete wreck of the place. Took three + weeks' mourning leave from work. I even sent your mother flowers. It + didn't help. It's been two years now, since that phone call. I know + you're up there, reading over my shoulder as I type this into the + machine. I'm coming to visit you soon, but not until I get this out + on paper... + + + ---------------------------------------------------- + David B.

Kousen + KAK%UTRC@utrcgw.utc.com + Copyright 1990 Kenneth A. Kousen + ====================================================================== + + On the morning of September 9, James Alton had the dubious + privilege of watching all of his technical problems solved before his + very eyes. + + Naturally, he felt elated. To finally understand the problems on + which he had spent his entire professional career was thrilling. Just + as naturally, he was devastated, because he was not the man to solve + them. Worse, the solution as it stood represented a change so basic + in character that it rendered all of his previous work obsolete. + + You think this can't happen? You think it doesn't happen all the + time? Wrong on both counts. It has to do with the fundamental nature + of research. Before addressing this, first consider the specific case + of James Alton. + + His field of interest was the dynamical behavior of fractal basin + boundaries. Actually, it doesn't matter what his field was. It could + have been quantum chromodynamics, or neural networks, or computational + aeroelasticity, or any of a dozen others. It helped, however, that it + was one of the so-called `hard' sciences, like physics or mathematics, + as opposed to one of the so-called `soft' sciences, like history or + literature. Any time a subject contains problems that have `definite' + answers of some sort, a person's career can be destroyed overnight by + a new breakthrough. It can happen in the soft sciences as well, but + not as often. In this particular case, however, it was the dynamical + behavior of fractal basin boundaries. + + James W. Alton, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Applied Mechanics + at the Holmes Center for Nonlinear Physics at Cornell University, + cared more about the dynamical behavior of fractal basin boundaries + than life itself. He remembered the excitement he felt when he first + learned about them, and the thrill it gave him when he presented his + first contribution to the subject. He believed the problems in his + field had a special esthetic beauty about them, and he had built his + entire career on their solution. They had rewarded him with success, + recognition, and feelings of accomplishment, which is as much as any + researcher could want. The dynamical behavior of fractal basin + boundaries was his life. + + What happened was this. Professor Alton was one of the world + authorities on the use of Smale methods. He had used them for years. + He liked them, and he was comfortable with them. He had been one of + the first to use them in the field of fractal basin boundaries, and + his results had gotten him tenure. Since then, he had become an + editor for the Journal of Nonlinear Mechanics, had become a University + Fellow, and had signed a contract to write an advanced text on his + subject. + + As part of the last chapter of this book, he wanted to include a + survey of the newest results in the field. To accomplish this, he + decided to attend the 42nd annual AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS Structures, + Structural Dynamics and Materials Conference, which traditionally held + a session on novel new techniques in nonlinear dynamics. He prepared + a survey paper for this conference, giving the history of Smale + methods in the dynamical behavior of fractal basin boundary problems. + He felt that by presenting this work, he could simultaneously continue + to popularize his methods, encourage new researchers to enter the + field, and deduct the trip as a business expense. + + He spent a considerable amount of time on the paper. In a sense, + it was a labor of love, and a welcome opportunity to immerse himself + in the older literature in the field. + + As he did so, however, clouds began to appear on the horizon. + Certain fundamental problems had a tendency to reappear every so + often. They generally looked simple at first glance, but had an + annoying tendency to resist solution. Alton found that each + generation of researchers had encountered them and applied the latest + techniques for their solution, completely confident of the outcome. + To their chagrin, the answers never came out quite right. They were + close, but somehow the discrepancies between what they got and what + they thought they should have gotten were always a bit too large. + What usually happened then is that each researcher would attribute the + errors to higher order effects, with the comment that a more detailed + analysis would take care of them. It was a natural, even obvious + conclusion. + + It was also wrong. + + Don't be so smug. These people were not stupid. If they had + known then what they know now, of course they would have realized that + these errors were indicative of some pretty basic faults in the + current theory. It's also possible that some of them did suspect + this, but lacked the time or the skills necessary to follow up on + their suspicions. This is part of the fundamental nature of research. + You damn well can't solve everything, so some things have to be taken + on faith. If every once in a while an assumption like this gets you + into trouble, well, that's just an occupational hazard. The + researchers were doing the best they could at the time. + + James Alton was, naturally, aware of these problems. What had + never struck him, though, was how one particular problem, the + so-called Hyperbolic Singularity Problem, kept coming up again and + again. It had defied all attempts at solution by some of the biggest + names in the field. + + He received a nasty shock when he discovered that he himself had + encountered the problem as a young man during the course of his own + work. It had been only a small side detail at the time, but it had + proven necessary to get a solution. He found that he, like everyone + else, had been unable to solve the problem with techniques known at + the time. He personally had encountered the Error That Wouldn't Die, + and to his dismay had swept it under the rug, calling it a + `pathological' case, of no real importance. + + Now he knew better. "Pathological, my foot," he muttered. + + He dropped his other projects and spent the better part of two + months attacking the problem. He ate, drank, and slept the Hyperbolic + Singularity Problem. Its solution became an obsession, partly as a + matter of pride, and partly because he dimly glimpsed what the + inability of his methods to solve it could mean. There was no reason, + he believed, that the problem could not be solved by Smale methods, + but the problem refused to listen. Something was terribly wrong, and + disaster lurked over the horizon. + + He tried all sorts of odd approaches to the problem. Some made + progress; some didn't. One thing he did not try, for the + understandable reason that he had never heard of it, was a technique + from outside his field known as Renormalization Group Theory. After + all, who knew it might help? Who could have suspected? Is it fair to + blame the man in retrospect? + + It's funny how much difference little errors can make. It has + happened over and over again throughout history. The change in the + orbit of Mercury due to the effects of general relativity is + vanishingly small, yet the implications of that change altered physics + forever. Before, gravity was action at a distance. Now, it's all a + question of geometry. + + Don't worry if you didn't follow that analogy. It doesn't + matter. There are plenty of others. Is the curvature of the Earth + zero, or not quite zero? Has the universe existed forever, or not + quite forever? Can you specify both where a particle is and how fast + it is moving exactly, or not quite exactly? Each answer is, of + course, `not quite,' and the result is that the world is round, the + universe is expanding from an initial Big Bang, and Werner Heisenberg + deserves his Nobel Prize, among other things. The lesson for the + researcher is that sometimes little errors _do_ matter. The question + here is, what happens to the poor sap who missed it? + + In the case of Professor Alton, the answer wasn't pretty. After + much soul searching, he decided to center his entire paper on the + solution of Hyperbolic Singularity Problem with Smale methods. He + hated to call attention to the problem, but his basic honesty + tragically won through. He submitted the paper, including several + false tries and a desperate plea (if you read between the lines) for a + solution using his methods. + + As luck would have it, his paper was scheduled to be presented on + the morning of the last day of the conference. Immediately preceeding + was the paper by Samuel Ware that would make history. + + On the day in question, Alton entered the long, low lecture hall + with trepidation. He moved down the rows of padded metal chairs until + he reached a seat about one third of the way from the podium. Gentle + fluorescent lighting glowed from above, casting few shadows on the + amber carpeting. In front, a slide projector and an overhead + projector both hummed quietly to themselves. He felt that the silence + was deafening, and only made worse by the hush of his colleagues as + they entered and saw him. He tried mightily not to show the + nervousness that he felt. + + He basically succeeded. In reality, of course, no one paid him + the slightest attention. They were far more concerned with getting a + good seat for this talk, or discussing the last one with a friend, or + getting a cup of coffee to help them stay awake. The rare individual + who did notice Alton simply assumed that he was nervous about his + presentation. In this case, that was prescient, but nervousness in a + speaker is sufficiently common that it engendered little commentary. + + Promptly at nine o'clock, the session chairman introduced the + first speaker. His rather uninteresting paper concerned a certain + extension of the known theory into an area about which few people + cared. This was normal, and is another aspect of the fundamental + nature of research, this time involving production research to fill + out a resume. The only relevant point here is that such events are so + common that its very familiarity helped Alton relax a bit. There were + a few questions afterward, and most of them were silly. Again, this + was normal. + + At nine-thirty, the chairman introduced Samuel Ware. This was + far from normal. Ware was a wunderkind; one of the brilliant young + men who published little but revealed entire new continents of theory. + Ware had a knack for knowing exactly what questions to ask that would + challenge the current understanding. Speakers dreaded seeing him in + the audience, as his questions usually drove them nuts. + + Was Ware a genius? Who knows? What is genius, anyway? He was + often described as brilliant, but that only means that he was more + intelligent than the person who said it. If one person is ten times + smarter than you are, and another person is fifty times smarter than + you are, the one person who won't be able to tell them apart is you. + All you know is that they both can blow you away without trying. + + Ware was one of those people who seemed to be smarter than + everybody. + + Incidentally, if you think there aren't plenty of these people + around, you're wrong about that, too. Any professional researcher can + point to one or two. If one of them enters your chosen field, you + just hope that all they do is solve the problems you want solved and + verify the things you did yourself. This is due to yet another factor + in the fundamental nature of research. If you want to make progress + in a field, and you are not in the class of Samuel Ware, you have few + choices. In any established field, all of the easy problems have been + solved, and the vast majority of the unsolved problems are virtually + impossible. To survive, therefore, you either must spend your entire + career trying to work on one of the known unsolved problems, hoping + all the while that it will generate enough of interest to make you a + success, or you have to find a wholly new field, and make your + reputation by solving all the easy problems you find there. The + latter course is risky because new fields are tough to find, but has + the potential to make you famous, at least until one of the Samuel + Ware types wanders in and takes it for himself. + + Some time earlier, Samuel Ware had decided that the dynamical + behavior of fractal basin boundaries was "interesting." He had quickly + mastered the commonly used Smale methods, and then stumbled upon the + Hyperbolic Singularity Problem. After some effort, he decided that + Smale methods were never going to be able to solve the problem. He + set about developing a new technique that would work. + + Think about what this means. It looks noble on the surface. + Here is a guy that has the stuff of legends, attacking a problem that + had frustrated the best workers in the field for decades. Here is + Samuel Ware, a young, bright individual with a "fresh" outlook, who is + going to succeed where all the rest have failed. Leave it at that, + and it sounds like a hero-worshipping TV movie. But look further. + Someone had to develop the methods already in existence. Someone in + all likelihood staked his career on their accuracy and ability to + succeed. Someone cares very much about these methods, and Ware is + going to destroy that person. It may be necessary in this case (after + all, the problem still has to be solved), but the human cost is real, + and shouldn't be ignored. + + Like James Alton, Samuel Ware tried several ideas to solve the + Hyperbolic Singularity Problem. Unlike James Alton, Samuel Ware knew + about Renormalization Group Theory. + + After his introduction, Ware proceeded to the podium and began + his talk. At his mention of the Hyperbolic Singularity Problem, Alton + sat bolt upright in his seat. During Ware's subsequent demonstration + of the inadequacy of Smale methods to solve the problem, Alton hardly + moved a muscle. Ware's formal proof that no foreseeable variation on + Smale methods would ever be sufficient caused his jaw to drop in + astonishment. + + Ware continued. "It is therefore fortunate," he said, "that the + recent advances in Renormalization Group Theory have allowed the + following reconstruction of the basic problem..." + + Alton's brow furrowed in puzzlement. `Renormala-who?' he + thought. `What in the world?' + + "... and therefore," Ware said, sometime later, "it can now be + seen that the imaginary time transform solves the whole problem. + Better than that, actually; it removes the singularity entirely. The + Hyperbolic Singularity Problem no longer exists! + + "If we take these ideas to their logical conclusion, the entire + field can be reconstructed from the bottom, and the singularities + never appear at all. Were it not for an accident of history, the + original problems would have been developed in this form and the + entire issue would have been resolved long ago..." + + He continued in this vein for some time, but Alton no longer + heard him. His wildest dream and his worst nightmare had come true + simultaneously. The problem he had wracked his brains over was now + solved. Actually, all the problems in his field were now solved. + + In the process, though, all the work he had done during his + entire career was now made obsolete. Superfluous. Out-dated in the + span of half an hour. + + His first reaction was to search desperately for a flaw in Ware's + reasoning, but that led nowhere. He didn't know the first thing about + Renormalization Group Theory, and he wasn't likely to find an error on + the spot. He did know about the Hyperbolic Singularity Problem, + however, and his years of experience in the field made him familiar + with what form the answer must take. Ware's answer looked right. It + felt right. He admitted to himself that it was right. + + His next thought was to attack the intruder. He quickly scanned + the room, and noticed that Ware's presentation had left most of those + in attendance unmoved. This was due to one more facet of the + fundamental nature of research; the fact that great discoveries are + almost invariably made in retrospect. Few of the others in the room + had Alton's direct experience with the Hyperbolic Singularity Problem, + and most of them didn't know much about Ware. All they saw was a + person they didn't know presenting a technique they'd never used based + on a field with which they were unfamiliar. Alton realized that he, + and he alone, knew what Ware's solution really meant. Someday the + next generation of researchers would look back at this presentation + with awe and call it the beginning of true understanding in the field. + It would take time, though. Right now, the only people who knew what + had just happened were Samuel Ware and James Alton. If he so chose, + Alton could delay that time of understanding, perhaps indefinitely. + + The opportunity was there. He could denounce Ware and his new + technique. Better yet, he could ensure that it be ignored entirely. + All he would have to do was to take the attitude of a patronizing + elder. "Very good, my boy," he could say. "Quite clever. Who knows? + Maybe your little trick will lead to something important someday." It + would be easy. He had seen it done before. These people knew him and + they didn't know Ware. They will listen to the person they knew. + + `But Ware is right,' he thought, and his basic honesty warred + with his impulse for self-defense. `Can I betray the advancement of + the field I've cared about for so long?' He simply couldn't, and anger + and frustration welled up inside of him, to the point that he slapped + his fist into his other hand. The resulting noise caused everyone to + stop what they were doing and stare at him. + + To understand what he did next, it is necessary to understand + what psychologists call a "displacement reaction." The classic example + is the following. + + The arctic tern builds its nest at ground level, digging into the + snow above the arctic tundra. The tern relies on its white coloration + to provide camouflage and thereby hide it from its enemies. One of + these enemies is the arctic fox. + + Consider this situation. The male and female arctic terns have + built a nest on the ground and the female has laid her eggs. Now here + comes the arctic fox. Each individual now has a decision to make. + + For the fox, the decision is easy. Go get the eggs. Attack. + + For the female tern, the decision is also easy. Protect the + eggs. Defend, even at the cost of her own life. + + For the male tern, however, the decision is not so obvious. If + he stays with the female and defends the nest, he will probably die in + the process, though the nest will have a far better chance of + surviving. If he abandons the nest and the female, both will + inevitably fall to the fox. What to do? Self-preservation, or + survival of the species? + + Such a conflict is too much for the male arctic term. Given two + choices, both imperative and both impossible, he chooses a third + alternative, a displacement reaction. He tries to mate with the + female. Pointless, counterproductive, and suicidal, but at least the + tern didn't have to make a decision it couldn't handle. + + James Alton was not an arctic tern. He was a human being, and + though he too was faced with two imperative, impractical alternatives, + his displacement reaction took a different form, one uniquely human. + + He laughed. + + A chuckle at first, followed by a guffaw and then a full belly + laugh. Before long, he was on his knees, roaring with laughter, tears + streaming down his face. Someone asked him what was wrong, and he + doubled up with laughter and rolled on the floor, waving his arms as + though begging some nonexistent jokester to stop. + + At long last he calmed himself enough to return to his seat, + still giggling but under control. The session chairman, not knowing + what else to do, then announced him as the next speaker, which of + course set him off again. + + This time he really lost it. He banged his head against his + arms. He made outlandish faces at people around him. He danced a + maniacal dance of glee around the room, until he finally collapsed in + exhaustion at the podium. He looked out at the shocked audience. + + "Paper withdrawn," he said, and he left the auditorium. + + + Samuel Ware found him later, standing in a bay window looking out + over the hotel gardens. It was a quiet place, and relatively + secluded. Ware hesitated for a moment before disturbing the older + man. With a shrug, he came forward. + + "Nice day," he said to Alton, looking outside. + + Alton glanced at him briefly and nodded. He sighed. + "Congratulations," he said. "That was a nice piece of work." + + "Thank you," Ware replied. "I appreciate your opinion." + + Alton dismissed the comment with a wave. "Nice of you to say so, + but it's hardly necessary." He chuckled. "As of a few hours ago, I am + no longer qualified to have an opinion." + + Ware raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Ridiculous. I think you + were the only one in there who understood what I was talking about. + Those fools," he said disgustedly. "They didn't follow me at all. + But _you_ did. I'm sure of it." + + "Yes, well, like I said, it was a nice piece of work." + + "Again, thanks." Ware swayed from side to side, apparently unsure + of himself. "Anyway," he said, "that's why I came to see you." + + Alton frowned and turned toward him. "That's right. Why did you + come in here?" + + "I don't know exactly how to say this," Ware stammered. "I + always, uh, thought that the situation you've set up at Cornell was + awfully nice. I mean, it's very convenient and helpful, and you seem + to welcome new ideas, and---" + + Realization dawned on Alton. "You mean you're looking for a + _job?"_ he exclaimed in astonishment. + + Ware looked acutely embarrassed. "Well, when you come right down + to it, yes. Everyone knows that the Center is the best place in the + world for nonlinear dynamic research. There's lots of freedom, and + good people there. I sort of hoped you might let me come and join." + + Alton stared at Ware in amazement. "Fascinating," he said + slowly. "But why did you come to me?" + + "You're the best person there," Ware said, somewhat surprised. + "Everybody knows that. The Center would never turn down your + request." + + "I think you overrate my importance," Alton said, but he could + see that Ware plainly didn't believe him. He shook his head. "I + don't understand. I thought you were happy in your present job. I + never heard anything different. What suddenly changed your mind?" + + "Oh, the government's okay, but when I started learning about + fractal basin boundaries, I just fell in love with the stuff. It's + great fun." He smiled, wistfully. "I decided that that was the field + I wanted to settle down in. So naturally, I wanted to come to the + Center. You guys are the best, and I wanted to be one of them." + + "I see. Why didn't you say anything about this until now?" + + Ware reddened slightly. "Well, I wanted to show you that I was + worth taking on. I figured the best way to do that was to solve some + problem you were interested in." He grew excited. "It worked, too. + I'm so happy I found a way to solve that damned Hyperbolic Singularity + Problem. What a bear! It's a good thing I knew about Renormalization + Group Theory, or I never would have gotten anywhere." + + "Yes, I suppose it is." He slowly shook his head. "You solved + the problem to impress me. Amazing. Simply unbelievable." He + laughed. + + Ware looked at him worriedly. "Boy, you laugh a lot, don't you?" + he said. + + A broad grin flashed across Alton's face. "More and more often, + it would appear. Look, the sun's come out at last. Let's go for a + walk in the gardens and talk about the job." He put his arm around + Ware's shoulders to lead him outside. As they reached the door, + however, he stopped. "Oh, there's one condition." + + "Oh? What is it?" + + "Next time you decide to impress me, please let me know about it + before hand, all right?" + + "Uh, sure," Ware said, puzzled. + + "Good." He gave Ware an amused grin. "You know, in about twenty + years, you and I are going to have to sit down and have a long talk." + + "Really? What about?" + + Alton smiled. "The fundamental nature of research," he replied, + and led the younger man out into the garden. + + + ---------------------------------------------------- + Ken Kousen is an associate research engineer at + United Technologies Research Center in East + Hartford, CT, where he does not work on fractals, + singularity problems, or renormalization group + theory.

Still, I had gone through the + trouble of shocking my family and friends -- if they can be called + that -- by going to a southern A & M college instead of Harvard or + some other such place because I could not stand anything having the + odor of the preppie outlook anymore, and desired to establish a + reputation they would not care for. I'm no rebel, dropout, or hippie, + although you'd think so after listening to some of those people. I + just don't buy the idea that good clothes, fine food and drink, + etcetera, are only earned with plastic smiles and atrophied + intelligence. No Brooks Brothers suits or cordon bleu for me if I + have to read Buckley or Buchanan to keep up with my peers. I'll + settle for jeans, hot dogs with chili, Anderson, and Royko, thank you. + + I thought six years away at college would see me safely past the + preppie threat. Uh-uh. Some bastard went and evolved them into + yuppies. Young, upwardly mobile pinheads -- don't have the slightest + idea what the structure they're moving up on consists of, or if it is + stable. Often they live by computer, speak computerese, and don't + know what one is or how it works. + + I minored in sociology and computer programming, and took my + major and advanced degree in electronic engineering. I know how to + build a computer from scratch, tell it how to work, tell if it is + situated physically and socially in a stable environment, and I make + more money per effort than any of them I've heard of. Still, one of + them hears where I went to school and starts acting superior. Doesn't + make me the least bit sore, though, don't get me wrong -- it's just + that as an engineer, I hate to see potentially good material made into + a second rate product. + + Usually I avoid situations where I might have such encounters, + such as that night's cocktail party I was trapped into going to. My + favorite (well, only, but still deserving of the adjective) sister was + hosting this one, though. Some sort of introduction party. Probably + for some completely useless geek someone else was convinced was an + artist, since she had gone through the bother of pulling in all the + favors I owed her to get me to attend. I suspected that immediately, + and that she cared so little for this party or its guest of honor that + inviting me was a way of getting back at whoever was to blame. + + I asked her, but she just smiled. That, more than anything, made + me feel sure I was right and agree to come. It was scheduled for + eight, in highsocietyese nine-fifteen, but Carol (my sister) knew I + didn't hold with that kind of math, couldn't face this sort of thing + straight, and wouldn't stay past ten anyhow, so she met me at the door + right on the dot, led me to a den where we had a quick drink and + visit, then left me to finish preparing myself while she finished + preparing herself. I enjoyed a few drinks, and welcomed a few + individuals who shared my liking for being on time. + + Carol was back down at a quarter of, just in time for the real + flow of arrivals to start. It only took twenty minutes before she + signaled me that all the invited guests had arrived. I was a bit + surprised by this at first, then remembered that in this crowd it was + usually a sign that there was another party to hit later. I only had + a small round to make to be done with it, checked and confirmed my + guess about the other party, then found a relatively quiet corner and + sat down to watch. + + The guest of honor was really pitiful. I didn't say a single + word -- didn't have to, his pretensions were ripped by a lady I'd + often heard my sister describe -- not unkindly -- as the blankest spot + on the circuit. The crowd didn't turn ugly or get restless, though, + but seemed pleased with the outcome. + + Carol wandered by about ten minutes later, so I intruded upon her + and quietly asked, "Mary was really the guest of honor tonight, wasn't + she? A little something to cheer her up or boost her spirits?" + + She frowned and nodded, then shrugged her shoulders and said, + "Before you ask, smartass, we drew lots. I expect you to keep your + mouth shut. Don't, and I'll give you another one of these -- meaning + it." She walked off, spiking me close to the big toe. Nothing really + painful, so I grinned at her as a sign I'd behave before seeking out + my quiet corner again. + + It was twenty to ten, but the party hadn't been all that + offensive, I didn't have anything on for the next day, and Carol owed + me for the foot business, so I figured I'd stick around for another + hour unless too many other people left and give her bar stock a good + working over. Besides, this one lady had been giving me a very strong + eye all evening, and I wanted to give her a bad impression before I + left lest she try to look me up. I did mention that I couldn't stand + those kind, right? + + I even indulged in a rare cigar, luckily having one on hand, but + it didn't work. She came over about fifteen minutes later, catching + me alone, sat down, and asked, "Does it seem likely to you that the + true first law of any physical universe is inertia, and violating this + law is what leads to entropy?" + + I had been set to frown and say something nasty, expecting her to + say something polite and brainless. I nearly sprained my tongue + swallowing the comment I had ready, regrouped, and finally grinned. I + still believed she was being pretentious, but her line was interesting + and intriguing enough to play around with for awhile. "It's + possible," I said. "I'm not an astronomer, and don't know that much + about current thinking on celestial mechanics. I am an engineer, + though, and if what I've worked with is any guide, I'd say you got it + dead to rights." + + "Ah," she responded. "I thought you looked too real to fit in + with this bunch." + + "Your hostess is my sister," I nodded. + + "You're Carol's brother?" she said. "That's cheering. I didn't + know she had any good influences." + + I laughed. Not especially brilliant, flattery seldom is, but + enjoyable. "Mind if I tell you a story?" she continued. "It'll be + brief." + + "Full drinks for us both first," I insisted. "No worthwhile + story is that short." + + She cocked an eye at me and smiled. "Thank you! I hope I'll + meet your optimistic expectations. Make mine water, since I've had my + limit, but throw in plenty of ice and a slice of lime." + + I took her glass, did the honors, then returned and sat down a + bit closer to be in good position to listen. "This story," she + started, "concerns a man I've known for a long, long time. He and I + have known each other by many names. + + "We've been married a number of times. Other times, we've just + been partners in business. It depended on whatever situation we were + in. Basic survival, court intrigues, smuggling, tavern keeping, + homesteading, sometimes just farming." + + "A busy life," I observed, feeling slightly uncomfortable without + understanding why. + + "Usually," she agreed. "Sad to say, though, I've not been in + touch with him for years." + + "Thought about placing an ad?" I ventured. + + "Yes. I've even got one written. I know, from past experience, + that he seldom remembers to look for me. Not that he doesn't want to, + or that he's not glad to have me find him. It just is not something + he's learned to do yet, so up to now it's always been up to me. I + don't mind, because he's worth it. The only thing is, I'm not sure + the ad as I've written it will catch his notice. Would you listen to + it and tell me what you think?" + + "Sure," I said, reluctantly and nervously. + + "Seeking -- long time partner, to resume partnership as per + understanding. Arrival in this area approximately 1958, avoids the + artificial, impatient with phony. Is seeking deeper under- standing + and patience, lessons on which I will trade for ones in his many areas + of expertise, as per understanding. Reply ASAP." + + "1958 is not very long for all the things you mentioned," I said. + "The ad seems pretty vague, also." + + "I know, but I don't really have any way of knowing what will + stir his memory," she said, looking sad. "He has that skill. We were + hoping I could master it this time around. He always knows what will + ring a bell, whether it would be a meeting, a chance phrase, or, + sometimes, even a dream." "What sort of dream?" I asked. + + "Past exploits, usually, according to him. Making wine in + France, selling ale in Williamsburg or Sidney, sailing the North Sea, + fighting in Turkey, making love in a field of hibicus on Vanua Levu." + + I was shook. As she mentioned these things, memories of dreams I + had had about similar occurrences had come to mind, but the topper was + her mention of Vanua Levu. Immediately upon hearing her say that name + I knew it was one of the Fiji Islands, but could not recall how I knew + it. The world history I had taken in college had been centered on + European history, and I had mostly taken it because the alternative + for freshmen was geography, which I loathed. Sure, we had spent a + week on the major explorations of the 1400's through the 1700's, but I + didn't remember getting anything out of it. I looked at her + helplessly. + + She looked hopeful for just a minute, then sighed. "Oh, well, + don't worry about it if it didn't strike a cord." + + "Something did," I admitted, frowning. "I just don't know what. + Something that seems long ago." + + "Very long ago," she said, looking hopeful again. + + "But you're what, only twenty or so?" I stammered. She nodded. + "I don't see how -- . Except another life." + + She didn't reply. I tried to pinpoint my thoughts, failed. "I + don't really believe this story," I finally said. "Too improbable. + Too many accomplishments, not enough time. Even if there were other + lives. The timing would never work out right." Not very well put, but + I was disturbed. + + "Timing is no problem if two souls are in agreement," she told + me. "Not that I remember all that much, but I do recall that. He and + I have the arrangement needed. Certainly, we sometimes have bodies + that are out of sync by a number of years, but he and I never have + been." + + I had dealt with a lot of weirdness, including a motorcycle club + membership Carol didn't know about, and once talked an armed 'Namvet + friend of mine out of re-enacting the OK Corral shootout, but this + lady stated her thoughts with such self-assurance that it shook me + like nothing else I had ever had to deal with. All I could do was + stammer (without desiring to) "Then these thoughts -- " + + "Can be trusted," she assured me. + + "Some -- " + + "Ten percent are pure dreams." + + "And the rest -- ?" + + "Are memories, a great deal of which I share," she finished. + "But I'm going to have to leave now. I'm running late." + + She stood and headed out. I got moving in time to catch her at + the door and asked, "Can we continue this some other time?" + + "Sure, come by anytime." + + "I don't know where you live. Or your name," I objected. + + "Carol does," she said. "However, I've given you enough clues. + Please, try. Trust your thoughts. If you can, and find me that way, + well, it's not what we had hoped for, but it is a start and may lead + elsewhere faster." She then turned and left. + + Five days later, I still hadn't figured it out. But my dreams + have come through now, I believe. Last night, I dreamed once again of + a wide field of hibicus. This morning I checked the city map. This + town does have a Hibicus street, in the same general area my sister + lives in. + + Also, according to my encyclopedia, the Fiji Islands were found + by the Dutch sailor Tasman in 1643. It might be the whole story was a + fable, but I have a feeling that 1643 Hibicus is where I'll find out + for sure. I could call Carol and check, but I wouldn't want to cheat. + If I'm wrong, I'll do so then, I guess. + + * * * + + I couldn't take it, and I was too nervous with the basic elements + of this situation to just go there and possibly make a fool of myself. + I didn't ask Carol, but I did go to her house and sneaked a peek in + her address book. She does have a listing for someone in the 1600 + block of Hibicus, though not 1643 as it happens. I don't know if it + is this lady, but I feel comfortable enough now to go find out. I'll + admit I checked after figuring it out if I find her there. + + + + ====================================================================== + + + QQQQQ tt + QQ QQ tttttt + QQ QQ uu uu aaaa nnnn tt aaaa + QQ QQ uu uu aa aa nn nn tt aa aa + QQ QQ uu uu aa aa nn nn tt aa aa + QQQQQQ uuu aaaaa nn nn tt aaaaa + QQQ + ______________________________________ + + A Journal of Fact, Fiction and Opinion + ______________________________________ + + Quanta is an electronically distributed magazine of science fiction. + Published monthly, each issue contains short fiction, articles and + editorials by authors around the world and across the net.

+I have a bit of history with Prime Anarchist and his friends, and since +the purpose of this site is to capture the feelings and experiences of +the 1980's BBS era, I might as well go into it here. The story is +completely, utterly true. +

+While I was running The Works BBS, I naturally got the occasional +weirdo on the line. After all, the system was open, and anyone could +post comments to me or leave feedback or request a chat. You know, the +usual off-beat personality, coming in from the night, who would make +the whole thing seem kind of funny with their pathetic antics. +

+Well, at some point I started getting an inordinate amount of calls +from someone who went by several names, but generally called themselves +YOUR MOTHER, all capital letters. While this character started out just +leaving comments in all capitals that were goofy and completely +nonsensical (and of course I wouldn't grant this person access), the +calls kept coming, the comments kept getting left, and some of the +postings got rather sinister indeed: +

+

+FUCK YOU JASON I WILL KILL YOU AND THAT HOMOSEXUAL FERRET. I NOW KNOW OF
+ONE PLACE WHERE YOU ARE ALWAYS ON TIME FOR.. YOU ARE DEAD MEAT I WILL
+LET YOU FIND OUT WHO I AM..... BUT BY THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE FOR ANY
+HELP.  MY FRIENDS THINK I'M CRAZY BUT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE
+A DICK AND SHOULD BE KILLED FOR HUMANITY SAKE.  THERE IS ABSOLUTLY
+NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT YOUR ONSLAUGHT SO SAY YOUR GOODBYE'S FOR
+ONE DAY SOON YOU SHALL DIE... IT WILL NOT BE A GOOD YEAR FOR YOUR
+FRIENDS BUT I KNOW YOUR PARENTS WOULD PROBABLY THANK
+ME...................KISS OFF HOMO............FOR THE END IS NEAR!!!!!!
+
+

+So suddenly I went from running a BBS to being hounded with death +threats online. Within a short time, I started getting screaming +calls on my other telephone lines, including the special one that +wasn't in my name (it was a business line owned by my father's +employer of the time.). When I mean screaming calls, I literately +mean that, calls with people screaming on them. And the comments +kept coming: +

+

+HINT WHO I AM #1:I HATE YOU
+              #2:I GO TO YOUR SCHOOL AND THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE
+THINK YOU ARE A FLAMING HOMOSEXUAL.
+              #3:I HAVE HAIR
+              #4:238-42??  DO I KNOW WHAT THE LAST TWO DIGITS ARE??
+  STAY TUNED FOR MORE NEXT TIME BOYS AND FAGGOTS
+
+

+and coming... +

+

+I AM STILL HERE DICKBREATH I WILL HAVE YOUR HOUSE NUMBER BY TONIGHT,
+SLLEP TIGHT DEAD MEAT, YOU MAY THINK I AM KIDDING BUT I WOULD NOT WASTE
+MY TIME IF I WAS FUCKING AROUND, YOU PISSED ME OFF, YOU WILL PAY FOR
+IT....
+
+

+Now, getting on 15 years later, this sort of thing is easy to laugh +off or trivialize, but for a 17-year-old kid living alone in his +father's house, this was pretty scary stuff. +

+Enter Prime Anarchist. I had made acquaintance with him and his friends +some time previous on The Works, and we had talked on the phone a few +times. At some point, I mentioned that I was experiencing this extreme +harassment, and they got very serious. They offered to help. And the +way they offered to help was to trace back the call. +

+They came over and visited me. Scruffy fellows, but I still remember +the eagerness to help me. They explained to me they had a friend in +the phone company, someone who could look at the special records they +had, the records where they see what numbers called a house (as +opposed to the phone bills we see, where all the numbers the house +called are listed). In this way, if I gave them some times that +YOUR MOTHER had called and left some messages, we could clear up +this little problem. To sweeten the deal, they asked me if I could +give them something to give to the friend in the phone company, +something like twenty bucks. I paid up gladly. +

+A little later, somehow, someone broke into the Works machine with +a remote sysop password, a password only I knew, that I'd not written +down or given to anyone. After breaking in, this person had tried +to delete my entire hard drive, but was typing in Apple computer +commands to do so, and the system was on a PC. On at least one +occasion, I'd used this remote password to use my machine. More +on that in a moment. +

+Well, Prime and his buddy came back and told me their friend had +done his work. They'd traced back the guy who did it, but they +couldn't tell me! Apparently he ALSO worked for the phone company! +According to my new friends, this fellow was TAPPING MY PHONE, and +picking up all this information to hack into my system and harass +me and the whole deal. So, they said, they'd go in and straighten +things out. +

+Later, they called me, and proudly said that they'd gone to the +guy's workplace, and found him at his desk, where they'd presented +the evidence they had and told him to lay the hell off me, to +never go near the Works BBS again, or he'd lose his job. The guy +supposedly freaked out, and swore up and down he'd never go +near my lines again. +

+I never found out who the guy was, and I never understood everything +that went down in that event, but I can say that I was honestly +freaked enough that I didn't really talk to Prime Anarchist and his +friend Cygnus ever again, and to be honest, the whole situation +as creepy. And to be fair, the harassment did stop after they +claimed they'd talked about it. But either way, if you look at +it from any angle, is it any wonder I'm a little paranoid? +

+Starting from relatively humble beginnings, Prime Anarchist gears a crew of +Connecticut hackers through 5 plus years of hacking, phreaking, politics, and +general spouting off. In many cases, they have the weirdest idea of time, +releasing 10 issues in one month and then releasing nothing for 4 more. All in +all, a complete grab-bag of articles. +

+I have a bit of history with Prime Anarchist and his friends, and since +the purpose of this site is to capture the feelings and experiences of +the 1980's BBS era, I might as well go into it here. The story is +completely, utterly true. +

+While I was running The Works BBS, I naturally got the occasional +weirdo on the line. After all, the system was open, and anyone could +post comments to me or leave feedback or request a chat. You know, the +usual off-beat personality, coming in from the night, who would make +the whole thing seem kind of funny with their pathetic antics. +

+Well, at some point I started getting an inordinate amount of calls +from someone who went by several names, but generally called themselves +YOUR MOTHER, all capital letters. While this character started out just +leaving comments in all capitals that were goofy and completely +nonsensical (and of course I wouldn't grant this person access), the +calls kept coming, the comments kept getting left, and some of the +postings got rather sinister indeed: +

+

+FUCK YOU JASON I WILL KILL YOU AND THAT HOMOSEXUAL FERRET. I NOW KNOW OF
+ONE PLACE WHERE YOU ARE ALWAYS ON TIME FOR.. YOU ARE DEAD MEAT I WILL
+LET YOU FIND OUT WHO I AM..... BUT BY THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE FOR ANY
+HELP.  MY FRIENDS THINK I'M CRAZY BUT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE
+A DICK AND SHOULD BE KILLED FOR HUMANITY SAKE.  THERE IS ABSOLUTLY
+NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT YOUR ONSLAUGHT SO SAY YOUR GOODBYE'S FOR
+ONE DAY SOON YOU SHALL DIE... IT WILL NOT BE A GOOD YEAR FOR YOUR
+FRIENDS BUT I KNOW YOUR PARENTS WOULD PROBABLY THANK
+ME...................KISS OFF HOMO............FOR THE END IS NEAR!!!!!!
+
+

+So suddenly I went from running a BBS to being hounded with death +threats online. Within a short time, I started getting screaming +calls on my other telephone lines, including the special one that +wasn't in my name (it was a business line owned by my father's +employer of the time.). When I mean screaming calls, I literately +mean that, calls with people screaming on them. And the comments +kept coming: +

+

+HINT WHO I AM #1:I HATE YOU
+              #2:I GO TO YOUR SCHOOL AND THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE
+THINK YOU ARE A FLAMING HOMOSEXUAL.
+              #3:I HAVE HAIR
+              #4:238-42??  DO I KNOW WHAT THE LAST TWO DIGITS ARE??
+  STAY TUNED FOR MORE NEXT TIME BOYS AND FAGGOTS
+
+

+and coming... +

+

+I AM STILL HERE DICKBREATH I WILL HAVE YOUR HOUSE NUMBER BY TONIGHT,
+SLLEP TIGHT DEAD MEAT, YOU MAY THINK I AM KIDDING BUT I WOULD NOT WASTE
+MY TIME IF I WAS FUCKING AROUND, YOU PISSED ME OFF, YOU WILL PAY FOR
+IT....
+
+

+Now, getting on 15 years later, this sort of thing is easy to laugh +off or trivialize, but for a 17-year-old kid living alone in his +father's house, this was pretty scary stuff. +

+Enter Prime Anarchist. I had made acquaintance with him and his friends +some time previous on The Works, and we had talked on the phone a few +times. At some point, I mentioned that I was experiencing this extreme +harassment, and they got very serious. They offered to help. And the +way they offered to help was to trace back the call. +

+They came over and visited me. Scruffy fellows, but I still remember +the eagerness to help me. They explained to me they had a friend in +the phone company, someone who could look at the special records they +had, the records where they see what numbers called a house (as +opposed to the phone bills we see, where all the numbers the house +called are listed). In this way, if I gave them some times that +YOUR MOTHER had called and left some messages, we could clear up +this little problem. To sweeten the deal, they asked me if I could +give them something to give to the friend in the phone company, +something like twenty bucks. I paid up gladly. +

+A little later, somehow, someone broke into the Works machine with +a remote sysop password, a password only I knew, that I'd not written +down or given to anyone. After breaking in, this person had tried +to delete my entire hard drive, but was typing in Apple computer +commands to do so, and the system was on a PC. On at least one +occasion, I'd used this remote password to use my machine. More +on that in a moment. +

+Well, Prime and his buddy came back and told me their friend had +done his work. They'd traced back the guy who did it, but they +couldn't tell me! Apparently he ALSO worked for the phone company! +According to my new friends, this fellow was TAPPING MY PHONE, and +picking up all this information to hack into my system and harass +me and the whole deal. So, they said, they'd go in and straighten +things out. +

+Later, they called me, and proudly said that they'd gone to the +guy's workplace, and found him at his desk, where they'd presented +the evidence they had and told him to lay the hell off me, to +never go near the Works BBS again, or he'd lose his job. The guy +supposedly freaked out, and swore up and down he'd never go +near my lines again. +

+I never found out who the guy was, and I never understood everything +that went down in that event, but I can say that I was honestly +freaked enough that I didn't really talk to Prime Anarchist and his +friend Cygnus ever again, and to be honest, the whole situation +as creepy. And to be fair, the harassment did stop after they +claimed they'd talked about it. But either way, if you look at +it from any angle, is it any wonder I'm a little paranoid? +

It was alright to feed the Africans, but when we talked about +actually wanting the Africans to liberate themselves and take control of their +own countries, then it was less of a hit than the humanitarian concept of just +feeding the poor African people. + BILLY BRAGG: For some artists, being political is what sells their +record, for good or bad. Certainly my audience is based on political stuff. +Nobody ever asks me what guitar strings I use or what I was doing in my next +video. They all want to know when I am going to think of a good rhyme for +"socialism". + PETER GABRIEL: I really hope young people get a sense that they CAN make +a difference in what is going on. I think that is the most important thing- +that they dont feel victims of the world; that they feel in charge of the +world, because it's theirs to inherit. + NONA HENDRYX: To me, the basic problem is to continue. Not only for the +artist to do it but the audience or the people who are listening to stay +involved. Not only on the large level, but on the small level, in your +community, your neighborhood, your state. + MERLE HAGGARD: was always necessary.

But what I was doing was trying to write songs. + JACKSON BROWN: A door was kicked open with Band Aid and Live Aid so that +you saw a little bit of the rest of the world. Then the door opened a little +further when you saw that there was apartheid in south africa. Now the door +has really been kicked wide open because you see that our government is +involved in a lot of things like selling arms to Iran, trading arms for +hostages, and diverting money illegally to wars that really can only be +called private wars now. + LITTLE STEVEN: In the media, that's where the battle is. that's where +the communication is going on -- where the public opinion is going to be +effected. That's were education is going to take place. + + Any of you who attended the Rutgers Convention last spring will remember +the seminar called Media, Modem, and Music put on by Abbie Hoffman, Marc +Greenberg, and Little Steven.

I know when I'm too welcome." + Your idol has left you like a miserable little child who wasn't +allowed two more cookies, but you're quick to understand and respect that. +You'd give your right arm to have half the celebration Abbie's got, but +you'd gladly donate your left nut to be able to "dis" that fame with half +as much grace as he does. Maybe you hope you'll get busted for cocaine so +you too can go underground. Maybe you hope you can organize a non-event +that the press will wish they had known about. Maybe you'd like to write +the next ultimate manifesto that upsets Walden Books. + + Abbie's death should mean nothing to you - however, his life should have +had great impact. The things he has said should be ignored - we need to heed +what he's done instead. Somewhere around the fab-50's when nothing much +mattered, Abbie Hoffman got his first taste of fame when he became a yo-yo +champ. Even the inventors wished they could have a few moments with the +guy to see some of his made-up tricks in slow motion. I don't think he ever +gave out any of his own secrets. Not then; still 30 years later he remained +reluctant to "tell all." But ask the guy a question or two, and you sure +got a wealth of info. + That first taste of fame must have stunk in his mouth something rotten, +'cause it wasn't long before he spit it out and didn't want a thing to do +with it. No one knows when he became an + A) agitator, + B) activist + C) radical + or D) make up your own word. + He claims it started before he was born. +But just when an event looked like it would make him a little too famous, +it was time to go cook up another event. The people watching with awe when +he mentioned "Iran Contra" or the anarchy caused when Louis Guiffrida got +thirty calls-a-minute telling him he was a racist son of a bitch didn't +seem to bother Abbie. In fact, I think it pleased him. But the minute +we began chatting about "there goes that yoyo again" or "let's interview +the yipster," it was time to go hide. Abbie Hoffman didn't hate the +pressmen; he loathed them. ("Loathe" was for lack of a better word, +by the way. I don't think there's a word bitter enough.) + Plain and simple, Abbie did not like fame. + During the 60's, when everything seemed to matter, Abbie could've +easily been a powerful attorney, great sportscaster, inspiring history +professor, or the best damned bum anyone ever met. Guess which one +this genius-level character picked? + Abbie joined the drug culture, as everyone knows. We are +fortunate he had a high tolerance for drugs, because he was obssesive +about everything he got into. While we were all tuning out and turning +on, he was participating too. But he was also stirring up. Hey, +someone had to do it. No one woulda known, that a little argument with +a mayor could make headlines thoughout the nation. Good thing +Abbie knew a lot of great attorneys, because the Chicago Eight +was about to be plucked right out of the streets just as randomly +as the hispanics that'll get sent to concentration camps if +Operation Night Camp is needed. + In Abbie's obituaries after his death, there'd been a lot of +mention of a Chicago Seven. Who was this group? I never heard of them. +I only know of a Chicago 8! I think it is a gross misinformation blitz +to leave out Bobbie Seale who made it thru more than half the trial as +a teammate. I also think it sets us up as "racism continuers" to leave +out the only man of color burned in that trial. + Abbie handled his fame well; stomached it as best he could, and +drove on - stirring up every event he could organize. The 60's were +a busy time for him, but the 70's just might go down as the time when +he reached his underground peak. Everyone knows about the Yipsters, +but only fans, and hard working undergrounders remember the Youth +International Party Line. YIPL was an underground newspaper that +never saw a "regular" publishing schedule, but always came as a +refreshing piece of mail. You sent a dollar to some suite in NYC, +and kept getting these pamphlets on how to make free fone calls, +how to keep using the same stamp for hundreds of letters among +friends, and generally how to beat the system at its own game. +Few knew that Abbie was one of the strongest ghost publishers +of YIPL magazine, but a lot of freaks started subscribing to +his new form of interactive press. People would write in and +fone in tricks on how to use #14 washers as dimes, how to turn +your utility meter upside-down so it'd flow backwards for a week, +how to set up your apartment with hotel sofas and loveseats. A +phreak/hacker/freaker/enthusiast (you pick the name) who sent +something in could count on YIPL to help him out if he ran aground. +Abbie was quick to start campaigns to get lots of people out of jail. +Like I said, he coulda been a potent lawyer if he wanted to play that +way. YIPL became TAP (short for Technincal Assistance Party) and got +a lot more electronically oriented, but still kept some of its political +bent. But it just wasn't quite as activist. Chesire Catalyst and the +gang tried and tried to get the campaigns going to help bail Abbie out +when he got yanked for his DeLoreanesque cocaine set up. + No dice. Abbie had to go so far underground, even the underground +couldn't always get a hold of him. TAP went on about its merry way +into the 80's and eventually disbanded. After all, the apathetic 80's +were just around the corner. + Abbie began pulling in large amounts for showing up at colleges. +Most of it went to causes. He had the occasional trouble finding liberal +students that would hear him out. The college students seemed too +concerned with resumes, internships, co-ops and things to worry about +Central American problems, or worn-out old protests of nuclear submarines. +But as apathetic as these students were, they seemed to love having him. + A year ago last September, he was inviting students to a well-planned +leftist convention at Rutgers. + + He had no................................................. +idea, the following February, 600 would show up ready to vote, +and more than 500 more wanted to come "be-in." Was the 60's starting +all over again? Or was the same 70's (1770) revolution just hitting +another upstroke? Abbie joined Ginsberg, Little Steven VanZant, Amy +Carter, and other celebrated speakers inspiring tomorrow's youth down +at the New Jersey college, but towards the end, he got mad at someone +or somthing and took off. + His leaving agitated people just as much as his speeches. I think +he might've meant it. Whatever he did, it worked. There are a lot of +20ish people out there ready to come out of the woodwork whenever the +next abortion/marijuana/gay rights/no nukes/etc rally gets underway. +I wish I could be there doing more than watching it, but that's my job. +You do yours, OK? And do it 100% if you can. + When Abbie left the Rutgers convention, he went right home to battle +the Philadelphia Utility company about their unsafe power plant proposal. +Again, he should'a been able to count on those 1000 or so people to come +dribble down there, and help organize, but no dice. Only a few followed +through. But along with a group called Del-Aware, Abbie started a fight +that still continues. Philly has yet to break ground, just billyclub heads. + Abbie's actions throughout the 20th century sets us with a groundwork +for social engineering, political dissent, student activisim, outside +agitation, as well as participation with a messed up country that STILL +happens to be the most free nation we know about. A lot of the negative +short-range things he's started off have led to some awfully positive +restructuring possibilities. "Steal This Book" not only shows you how to +get something free, or sneak around; it teaches you to be creative, and +gets you started making the future yours. "Steal This Urine Test" not +only teaches you how to drink olive oil so last night's joint won't show up, +or how to pour battery acid from a rubber - screwing up millions of +dollars worth of technology, but it shows you how to make decisions +for yourself, and how to go about protesting violations of your privacy. +Any one of his books could be titled "A Patriot's Guide to Keeping +America Free." + + Whether posthumous books are due is up in the air. No one knows +how aggressive/generous his brother-in-law or his girlfriend plan on getting +with his written work. Brother Jack HAS been reprinting "Steal This Book" +and a few other out-of-prints though, so if you missed any of them, now's +as good a time as any to put "Square Dancing" or "Soon To Be" on your +must-read list. + Abbie wrote on everything. Matchbook covers, napkins, address books, +dollar bills, tables, whatever was put in front of him. What he wrote +on mostly, though, was politics. TAP/YIPL might be gone, but many writers +across the land have been so inspired by that style, we've seen an "underground" +rag/fact sheet/fanzine (again, pick your own name for 'em) renaissance. A good +place to start looking for the Hoffmanesque writing style would be Reality +Hackers magazine which comes out monthly, 2600 magazine which comes out 4 +times a year, ATI which comes out whenever, Phrack which comes out only in +"software" copy every two months or so. + Addresses can't be given here, naturally, but if you're savvy enough, +I'm sure you can find your way around. + If you want fame, pattern yourself after someone like Johnny Bench or +Geraldo Revera. But if you want to accomplish things in life, the ones to +watch are the Geroge Bushes, the Tom Clancys and the Abbie Hoffmans. + People liked to steal his driver's license, and his address book. Kind +of a perverted way to get a memento/souvenir/token. Kind of a great way to +piss someone off. The weekdays of the '80s were such a struggle for Abbie +to rewrite his phone numbers from memory, he began making copies to hand out +to anyone who looked like they might want one that desperately. Your second, +third...fortieth copy of your driver's license don't come cheap. I wonder if +Abbie still has an outstanding tab at Bucks County Motor Vehicle? + Phil Donahue type people started bugging the hell out of him around +87-88. It got so bad, he finally had to put a "leave me alone, Phil. I don't +wannabe on your show" message on his phonemate. Warner Brothers, Tri-Star, +etc. hounded him constantly the last few years to play himself in an +autobiographical movie which he always flat out refused. He offered to "play +someone else" though... + Abbie's last few years in a Philadelphia crash-pad-styled chicked-coop +were as quiet as he wanted to make them. He said they were very comfortable; +he was content. From this "headquarters" came the necessary magazine +articles, telephone interviews, event planning, and lecture scheduling. + When we invade a Honduras, bomb a Tripoli or destroy a gulf, you could +count on Abbie and his buddies to get those fones through the government +tan-boxes and give you an idea what's really going on. Sometimes he'd only +tell you a little, but he seemed to know everything. He didn't want to tell +ALL, because he didn't want to be your only source. That meant fame. And +you know how he felt about that. + He told you about Iranscam back in '82, told you about Carter getting +used on the hostage situation way back in '80. To say he was your "1980's +Deep Throat" was the journalistic understatement of the century. He gave great +background. But he said, "don't quote me", and he meant it. And you didn't mess. + Abbie Hoffman died quietly. The press didn't know until four hours later +that something was "news" in New Hope. He even missed the Sunday New York +Times deadline. On purpose? That meant there was no one on hand to shove a +microphone in his face and ask "how's it feel to be dying" or "do you have +any last words for my microcassette recorder here", or even "if you could +do it again, what would you change?"

I don't +think I can stomach that. Not when it's such a +clearcut indication that the entire ship is made +out of veiny horrendous purple and white petrified +dog shit, OK? + Army, you're going to guess next. My shortened +but honorable stint in the signal corps? Nope. Wasn't +there, but I can warm you up with a half-way decent +army analogy here as a minute or two digression if +you would like. + + In basic training I was a teamchief (squad leader) +because I had two and a half years college behind me. +I was fully in charge of 10 or 11 men. The same went +for A School with about the same amount of people but +that was men and women. I think, wait. Did we see +women in A School? Yeah. That's right. + We'd be given a task to do as a team and there I'd +be telling my entire squad they must help me. I would +work just as hard or harder than all of them for as +much of the same time as I could. I might give myself +regular breaks that they dind't get because afterall +I was the chief, right? But that's it. They were very +short breaks, just long enough really, to keep me +going for a 10-12 hour day before sleeping for the +next day of the same old, same old. Back at it quick +enough to get in there and lead by example. + Our squad was in danger of getting things done too +quickly, too efficiently. I came to the attention of +all three drill sergents pretty quickly. The head of +the three would take me aside at least 10 times in +the last half of the 8 weeks and remind me that my +job was NOT to do the work, but to stand around, be +a little bit meaner, and make sure it all gets done. +IN THE TIME ALLOTTED. NO MORE, NO LESS. + I pretended to learn and apply this valueable, +important, profound and almighty lesson. Then I +repeated my "errors" in A School. Same results only +this time in Georgia instead of South Carolina. +Worse results actually. I guess the stakes were a +little higher. I think I was taken aside there at +least 15 times in those 8 weeks. + So essentially I waited out my time toward re-up +where I would opt out. Basically quitting the army. +Or the closest you can come to such a thing. + Fortunately for my world, a medical discharge came +my way, presenting itself when they ruined my right +knee's ligament and cartilage badly enough to become +useless to them. Two operations and I was out in my +three years instead of the four I'd upped for. 9 or +10 months early if I remember right. Thank you, I'll +take it. + Never looked back. So that points a little to the +NATIONWIDE corruption I wish to discuss here. + Please stop trying to guess what company. I'll tell +you that soon enough. + So corruption below me, wow. You go to your super's +supervisor's super and discuss someone lower "ranking" +than you. + "Give her to me, I'll take care of her," she says. + (TO BE CON'T In 322 and others.) + + +part iii + + +You're starting to realize what they'll do because it's +the third or fourth person of at least nine that this has +happened to in front of you. + You find out next that she's been moved to another part +of the same state and like you she's now in charge of half +a dozen people below her. What? Parallel to you? Woah. +Another similar incident, you go to the same "her:" + "Lemme have him, I'll take care of him." This time you'd +gotten to know him a little. Kept in touch through the +years. + Lo and behold they moved him to a different state and +he's no in charge of you really, but way up higher than +you in the "chain of command," so to speak. + Yes, I said "chain." Years or decades ago, most companies +weren't run like military wannabes. But these days more +and more are. + A military structure can get rid of bureaucracy but not +corruption. Remember that -- you might need it some day. + A corporation run this way just might as well be called +a paramilitary like the Boy Scouts or the KKK but I digress. + Radio Shack had what was called "stealing." Your store's +shrinkage could not be above 6% a third month in a row or +"Texas" would come up and audit the hell out of you. No one +I know had ever suffered one of these audits, but it was +one of those scenes NO ONE wanted to find out about. + Hence, stealing. The store I was an A.M. to usually +hovered between 2% and 4%, so we were seldom on the receiving +end, but often the "giver." + "You've got a pickemup truck, right Prime?" + "Yeah." + "I have some items that need to go to store #432. Load up +these items from the stockroom and deliver them. Take the +whole day, I'll clock you out." + He said he'd float me a few small commissions too, from +batteries and telephones throughout the day so I didn't have +a big hole in my afternoon or evening. + After a while I was entrusted with the phone call itself. + "Radio Shack #435, Prime Anarchist speaking, how may I +help you, sir or ma'am." + So the voice on the other end is "we're at 5ish for the +month. How're you looking?" + "Not sure," I tell him, "I'll check." "Hey boss, how are +we looking this month?" Store #408 is over 5ish again." + "One or two," my boss tells me, "give 'em whatever the +heck they need." + This time around it was something like seven Tandy TX +computers, six SX's, five telephones, four shortwave radios, +three discontinued turntables, two microphones and a partridge +family promotional record album. + Well, something like that. Not precisely, but I assure you, +it was in the low thousands. The lowest I'd ever conspired to +"steal" was high hundreds. Last I checked, a felony in NY, +CT, RI areas was theft over 300. I'm sure it's higher now, but +surely not quite into the thousands. + Anyways this was stealing but not quite that kind of stealing. +Or is it? Yeah. Ask me then, I didn't know. Ask me now? That's +why I'm writing this up. + So every other month or so a store would steal enough from +our store to bring us nearer to 6% but never over. + + + [finish later] + +Theirs would go under 6 by stealing from us and/or another +store or two. + Thousands of dollars every other month or so just floating +around from store to store well by itself in a vacuum it +probably doesn't look so bad, but lets look at a couple other +things here at Radio Theft. Tandy Corpse. Realistic. Pilferage +'r' Us before we tumble the whole house of cards. Now I know +there's going to be hardly any outrage to speak of from the +mainstream here. Heck, when Oliver North who's at least 500% +more corrupt than Radio Shack could EVER be, + woops! runon sentence, ok, when he admitted that the entire +Untied States of Alimony stinks there was a small outrage. +A wimper, and a tiny bang really. + And when Coretta Scott King won her decades-old lawsuit +against the FBI and the CIA proving there was conspiracy having +killed her husband there was even less outrage. + So who cares, right? But it has to be told no matter what +happens, because I woke up this morning realizing it's a +metaphor for everything else around me. Enron, Vatican, +Merrill Lynch, McDonalds, Sikorski, the Pentagram, you name +it. But I'll get to that in a second. + Back to Radio Hack. Let's put this stealing into context. +What else makes up shrinkage? "Ohp, careful with that monitor, +that's state of the..." Oh man, just put it by the door, a +part-timer can bring it to the dumpster later... "No, don't +open that package. I'm sure it's broken. No, I'm sure..." + He doesn't need to double check. It's going into the +dumpster. Yeah, right. And/or for how long??? + "Oh boss, I hope that doesn't bring our shrinkage up..." + "Don't worry, it'll be ok." + "He boss, I think she stole that fone, did you see the +size of that purse?" + "Don' worry." + "Hey boss, I know neither of us steal and no one else worked +for us today, but the register is exactly 72.13 short. Isn't +that the same after tax as two of those cute little..." + "Don't worry..." + There were ohter corruptions all around those stores that I +won't bother going into, involving paychecks, ticket stubs, +commissions, utility bills, fone and internet... + Suffice it to say I was being groomed to manage a brand new +Radio Shack in some suburb of Providence, RI. But alas, it +never happened. I couldn't take all the management down +whistleblowing which might risk my getting beaten to death +or shot, or worse -- having to live with knowing I helped +cause the suicide of half a dozen moms and dads around +Mass/RI/Conn. People fearing for their career, their "bacon +on the table." + So I cut my next lucrative career short and signed up on +Delayed Entry Program in the US army signal corps. + 3-4 months I worked odd jobs and temp positions for Olsten +and also Kelly Girl when the "shady was slim" for Olsten +corporation. + One dollar more per hour and no corruption I could sense +around me. Not bad. I'll take it while I wait. + So for the next 11 years I minded my own business, and kept +my mouth shut. But now the Vatican is going down in flames, +perhaps as a scapegoat so Dick Cheney doesn't have to admit +all HIS wrongdoing the past 12 or more years. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/magazines/ATI/ati-01.txt b/textfiles.com/magazines/ATI/ati-01.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..80847e13 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/magazines/ATI/ati-01.txt @@ -0,0 +1,290 @@ +this is ATI, activist times, inc. + +YIPPIE!!! +It starts with advisors. +The Central Intelligence Agency feels +some sort of need to sell drugs, trade +arms, assassinate communists, +fascists, and capitalists for fun, and +stick their noses in everybody's +business. + You work for them for years.

He came here to study +and study he did. He finally lands a half-way decent job in his field of +study.

The embassy says it will take a +few weeks to a month for them to validate his VISA and his children. + In the mean time he loses his new job because of his forced stay. They later +validate his VISA and children and allow his passage to the United States. + +COMMENTARY: + Essentially the government did not believe his VISA as being a valid +VISA.

The meeting was the beginning of a very special +relationship between ITT and the Third Reich. + One Herr Schroeder and our Sosthenes Behn had been found in 1945 in a prison +camp in France, wearing the battle dress of an SS corporal. Both worked for +years as highlevel execs at ITT after the war. + What lay behind this remarkable transmogrification of Behn the +Hitler-supporter into Behn the Allied hero? Part of the story is still buried +in secret files; but it's clear that colonel Behn, at some stage of the war, +became very close to American intelligence agencies, and that he could perform +useful services for them, with his own private information network. + While the justice department and the FBI continued to distrust him, military +intelligence found him and his telephones indispensible. In Latin America, +American agents were placed in the ITT offices of Bolivia, Paraguay, and +Argentina, among others; and Behn, on his visits to Europe, could bring back +information through Switzerland and Spain about the state of the Axis. + Neat, eh?

Winterholer, 31, of 57 +Nathan Hale Road, Groton, has been +charged with harassment for allegedly +programming a computer to repeatedly +dial EB strike hotline numbers. The +computer calls made it difficult for +callers to get through to the company +for information, police said. + EB first began receiving the bogus +calls on July 25 and they contacted +city police. + "Workers were answering the calls, +but there was no one there," said +Police Chief Robert D. Laurie. + Police then called SNETco which +traced the call to Winterholer's +address, Laurie said. + Police obtained a search warrant and, +on July 28, found a computer terminal +in Winterholer's residence with the EB +strike hotline phone numbers visible on +the display screen. + The calls were coming in on all three +strike phone lines set up by EB, Laurie +said, "making it difficult for anyone +who legitimately wanted to call in to +get in on them," he said. + EB announced Friday in its newsletter +"Directions" that the hotlines are back +to normal. + Winterholer was released by police. +He is scheduled to appear Aug. 11 in +New London Superior Court. + Joseph W. Messier, president of the +striking Metal Trades Council, said he +could not discuss the incident. "I +don't really know that much about it," +he said. "He (Winterholer) wasn't +operating on the behalf of any union." + Messier confirmed that Winterholer +was a union steward, but he would not +say to which union Winterholer +belonged. The MTC represents 10 local +unions at the submarine building +shipyard. + While the hotlines are designed to +answer a variety of questions from +striking members of the Metal Trades +Council, EB reported Friday that the +most common questions (267 calls) have +been from strikers who want to know how +to return to work. + The 10,000 member MTC has been on +strike since July 1. While the majority +of workers have honored union picket +lines, the company reported that 613 +MTC-represented workers returned to +work in the yard on Friday. + The union went on strike 37 days ago +after EB refused to offer any wage +increases, proposing only lump-sum +bonus payments. + The company reported in its +newsletter that a first class mechanic +making $12.02 an hour has missed $2,500 +in pay since July 1. + Both sides reported Friday that no +new negotiations are scheduled. + -pap- + +(by the way, PAP hears the strike will +continue into 1989) + - - - - - - +Unusual books +Over 900 titles +ANVIL +box 640383f +elpaso tx 79904 + - - - - - - +===================================== +==The official PAP #'s section: == +== == +===================================== +1-718-PANTIES join the p-o-t-m club. +800-424-9098 Defense Hotline +203-446-2535,3664,2929,6236, + 3843,6289,2906,7202 partyline +(listen beyone the recording for your +friends havin a blast) +203-446-2200 have a scabb paged. +818-407-8900 phoneradio. entertainment +line.

The meeting +was the beginning of a very special +relationship between ITT and the Third +Reich. + One Herr Schroeder and our Sosthenes +Behn had been found in 1945 in a +prison camp in France, wearing the +battle dress of an SS corporal. Both +worked for years as highlevel execs at +ITT after the war. + What lay behind this remarkable +transmogrification of Behn the +Hitler-supporter into Behn the Allied +hero? Part of the story is still +buried in secret files; but it's clear +that colonel Behn, at some stage of +the war, became very close to American +intelligence agencies, and that he +could perform useful services for +them, with his own private information +network. + While the justice department and the +FBI continued to distrust him, +military intelligence found him and +his telephones indispensible. In Latin +America, American agents were placed +in the ITT offices of Bolivia, +Paraguay, and Argentina, among others; +and Behn, on his visits to Europe, +could bring back information through +Switzerland and Spain about the state +of the Axis. + Neat, eh? Most of that is from a +document I sort of declassified.

That's about all they could +do to acknowlege they didnt like +my newspaper article, because I was +a pedestrian. And since I dont litter, +or jaywalk, things became uneventful +til I purchased a moped last month. + I've been pulled over more times in +the last month, than in my entire 9 +years driving motor vehicles. Most +of the time they just take my licence, +look it over for identificaton, and +give it back to me in less than 45 +minutes. + About 2am last nite I was pulled +looked all around, saw there was no traffic, and since I was a hazard +to no one, proceeded thru. He gave me +a 50 dollar fine. + He then told me my drivers licence +was now his property as it was "very +expired". (It expired February this +year, and I'd been using it for ID. +Keep in mind how many times officers +have pulled me over and used it +primarily and solely for ID) + At any rate, he drove off with my +licence. I called the dispatcher and +requested special permission to have +my drivers licence back as it was my +only form of ID. He cleared it thru +his sargent, and told me the officer +would be by to pick it up. + I then listened over my scanner and +allowed the officer to "drop it off +when I get a chance". An hour went by; +so I called the dispatcher to ask if +he'd give the guy a ring,and that +things were busy. + An hour later, my licence came to +me. In both those hours the ONLY things +that came over regarding Groton City +were 4 "reg" and ID's, 3 routines at +Washington Park, 2 rendevous at West +Side junior high, and a striker +disorderly and drunk. + They cant say they were extremely +busy, the officer was obviously +dillydallying to spite me for going +over his head. + HE then told me in front of my +friends that if he hears my motor +running before Tuesday morning, he's +going to lock me in jail overnite, +confiscate the bike, and auction it +off. I stared him down with a +nonverbal "how-can-you-talk-like-that" +while my friend, Sean, got it all on +cassette tape. I then went off to +put my moped away. The officer went up +the road and rendevoused with his +backup. I walked over to his cruiser +to inform him that the bike was +locked and I had every intention of +renewing my licence first thing in +the morning. He did 0-50 in +about 8 seconds on a road that belongs +25 mph. + My friend later informed me that +"he's walking toward you.

At the +end of the letter there was a number +to call if I needed any info. Well, I +called the number and got a recording +that said the number was disconected. I +called the local DMV to get better +info-- they told me to call the same +disconnected number as was on the +letter. + Well after the run around, I decided +to go to Whethersfield (about 1 1/2 +hour drive) for info. + Once at Whethersfield, I went to the +info desk to ask some questions. The +lady there said that she could not +give me that info because I didn't +need to know it. + I asked another lady there the same +question and she said that she didn't +know and that i should call the info +number and guess what??? + You got it-- it was the same one as +on the letter. So back to square 1. + I am planing to run for the job of +commissioner of moter vehicles. I've +had +so many tickets that i can answer any +questions someone might have and I +won't +have to shrug my shoulders and say +call the number on the letter. + Oh, and the question i asked at DMV +in weathersfield??? + "Who do i talk to about getting my +licence back?" + + Fah-Q (the soon-to-be commisioner of +motor vehicles) + Fah-Q is assistant editor, +co-publisher, and resident chief of +electronics.

He came here to +study +and study he did. He finally lands a +half-way decent job in his field of +study. Having headed from home some +10,000 miles away he flies back, +leaving +his wife and children behind here. He +resolves the family problems there and +decided to fly back to the United +States. + + STOP. + + The US government embassy tells +him that he can not fly back until they +validate his VISA. He shows them his +VALID VISA and for further support +tells +them that his three children are US +citizens. The embassy says it will +take a +few weeks to a month for them to +validate his VISA and his children. + In the mean time he loses his new +job because of his forced stay. They +later +validate his VISA and children and +allow his passage to the United States. + +COMMENTARY: + Essentially the government did +not believe his VISA as being a valid +VISA. This does not enrage me as much +as not believing that his children are +indeed his. From what my grandfather +said: he, my uncle, did absolutely +nothing to provoke this action...he +was calm and peaceful. When he +contacted +his employer there was nothing he +could do. I am not trying to condemn +the +U.S. in this respect, but I am simply +trying to say that this certain type of +red tape we can all do without. + + (PRIME NOTE: Wow, Minuteman. That's +a drag. And for you, that one really +hits +home, know? Hmm.

The meeting was +the beginning of a very special +relationship between ITT and the Third +Reich. + One Herr Schroeder and our Sosthenes +Behn had been found in 1945 in a prison +camp in France, wearing the battle +dress of an SS corporal. Both worked +for +years as highlevel execs at ITT after +the war. + What lay behind this remarkable +transmogrification of Behn the +Hitler-supporter into Behn the Allied +hero? Part of the story is still buried +in secret files; but it's clear that +colonel Behn, at some stage of the war, +became very close to American +intelligence agencies, and that he +could perform +useful services for them, with his own +private information network. + While the justice department and the +FBI continued to distrust him, military +intelligence found him and his +telephones indispensible. In Latin +America, +American agents were placed in the ITT +offices of Bolivia, Paraguay, and +Argentina, among others; and Behn, on +his visits to Europe, could bring back +information through Switzerland and +Spain about the state of the Axis. + Neat, eh? Most of that is from a +document I sort of declassified.

Of all the low +things Ron has done to me, to you, to +most of New London County's bigger +musicians; you'd never dream he'd do +such a +thing, would you? + Hmm. Well, after the damage was done +from my previous campaign against Ron's +Ripoff Realm, I'd decided I would be +less agressive with things. + Instead of "Hey, go to Caruso's, +Ron's an asshole", and "I cant believe +you +shop there.

(sept 88 issue) (the one with Traci Chapman on +the cover... you know, the black chick with the nappi hair) + Anyways, here's a few thoughts from various musicians I decided to +highlight for you in case you cant get out and steal a copy or buy it maybe. +(I did) + HOLLY NEAR: If you write a generic peace song that just talks about peace +really propose solutions or if you put forward some kind of analysis of what +is causing war or racism or sexism. + You saw that when Little Steven was doing much more specific things about +south africa. It was alright to feed the Africans, but when we talked about +actually wanting the Africans to liberate themselves and take control of their +own countries, then it was less of a hit than the humanitarian concept of just +feeding the poor African people. + BILLY BRAGG: For some artists, being political is what sells their +record, for good or bad. Certainly my audience is based on political stuff. +Nobody ever asks me what guitar strings I use or what I was doing in my next +video. They all want to know when I am going to think of a good rhyme for +"socialism". + PETER GABRIEL: I really hope young people get a sense that they CAN make +a difference in what is going on. I think that isthe most important thing- +that they dont feel victims of the world; that they feel in charge of the +world, because it's theirs to inherit. + NONA HENDRYX: to me, the basic problem is to continue. Not only for the +artist to do it but the audience or the people who are listening to stay +involved. Not only on the large level, but on the small level, in your +community, your neighborhood, your state. + MERLE HAGGARD: was always necessary. From the time I was in the fourth, +5th grade, it would be on my report cards, only the teachers would call it +staring out the window. But what I was doing was trying to write songs. + JACKSON BROWN: A door was kicked open with Band Aid and Live Aid so that +you saw a little bit of the rest of the world. Then the door opened a little +further when you saw that there was apartheid in south africa. Now the door +has really been kicked wide open because you see that our government is +involved in a lot of things like selling arms to Iran, trading arms for +hostages, and diverting money illegally to wars that really can only be called +private wars now. + LITTLE STEVEN: In the media, that's where the battle is. that's where +the communication is going on -- where the public opinion is going to be +effected. That's were education is going to take place. + + Any of you who attended the Rutgers Conventin last spring will remember +the seminar called Media, Modem, and Music put on by Abbie Hoffman, Marc +Greenberg, and Little Steven. They dealt with a revolution in the music +industry, (and moreso the WHOLE media industry) saying a major change was on +its way. These quotes, and many others in last month's SPIN just grabbed my +attention, and made me think that change might be already powerfully on its +way. (especially if you heard any of Traci Chapman's other (pronounced "not +played on the radio statons)) songs. + At any rate, I didnt mean for this article to make sense as a whole. It +was more or less a collage, of musical stuff that might get you grabbin your +acoustic; or hopefully your million watt marshall stack. cause this shit has +GOT to get out. s/ prime. + +FAH-Q'S CORNER................. + Well here we are in Indianapolis. ATI had to go on vacation and just get +away from the local secret service... I mean the police. This place is +great. I am checking for 1800 diverters from my hotel room. + You can do all kinds of schitt from a hotel room phone. When we checked +in they never asked for ID so I told them I was Phillip Regular. They gave us +a room in the exec section when I told them I ran a newspaper. The room cost +33 a night with a bottle of wine. Well to get back to the phone. In this +hotel they have a system that can dial direct to another room, just by dialing +a 3 digit number. + Well when I checked in the clerk told me I had to dial 0 and tell the +desk I wanted an outside line. Well there is no dialtone on these fones, so i +must be dead til you dial a #. Well I was in 136, and my friends were in 135. +I dialed their # to tell them to wake up. When they hung up I got a dialtone. +I dialed 0 for the desk but instead I got an operator from Indiana Bell. I +called the office to get a printout of all the calls from this room and they +said there WERE no calls. I don't know how that happened but I'm uploading +this +phile from the fone in my room right now and I'm not paying for it, I can +assure you. + +rosto + +We found the rastafarians here in Indy. They are hanging around the +courthouse handbilling. I lost mine, but it said along the lines: laws for po +and the constitution grants freedom of religion, and their religion called for +weed.

We +concluded that it would be too hard to convert any buildings from their +current purpose over to concentration camps for the blacks and dissidents as +per Louis Guiffrida's "California Paper". + 2 days after the document hit the post office, General Dynamics announced +the go-ahead for a large toxic waste incinerator. + Now what could a conservative state do with a row of large stoves??? At any +rate, we all know that EB and Pfizer are naughty. Let's list a few other local +bad boys. + + +1)Mystic Color Lab 1)silver 2 EB 2 toxic waste 3 +pfizer 3 t. w. 4)Dow 4)latex sux!!! +5)Hess 5)Waste oil 6)Soneco 6)can you say + cyanide.?. 7)Millstone 7)lubricants + ind. waste. 8)Naval base 8)old diesel +9)Ming Garden 9)grease traps 0)Evans Shell 0)waste oil in + sewers. + +.. ... ... + +where's doug??? + +.. ... ... + +Mystic Color Lab got nailed last month for dumping excess quantities of silver +into the river. They were supposed to undergo weekly monitoring; but lo and +behold!!! They've suddenly cut back enormously. + Is this real? + The silver that's being dumped is what's left after 3 attempts to +electronically pan out each silver molecule. What's left cannot be gotten. +The silver (alone or joined) is VERY dangerous to plant life in and out of the +rivers. To meet standards, MCL has attached a 3rd chemical making it LOOK like +they've cleaned up their act. + Bullshit. + MCL is still damaging us. + + As we said, EB is doing mega toxic waste. EB is also responsible for a large +portion of our nation's acid rain problems. + So is Pfizer. Some suggest AIDS got its genesis at an African branch of +Pfizer Corp. + A word on DOW: ever get really sick from lighting a styrofoam cup on fire? +One cup? Dow, burns about 1000 cups worth of styrofoam a day. + Hess? Waste oil is no fun. This stuff shows up in the Thames river now and +then. Fish dont like waste oil. You know things are bad when you open up a can +of tuna (in its own oils) and you see a tiny little barge floating around +trying to make a delivery and it asks you where the dock is between Pfizer and +EB. + Soneco burns all their boxes instead of trucking them out to New Jersey. Too +expensive. These boxes are chemically treated so they're strong enough to hold +harsh stuff. + Millstone is responsible for a LOT of industrial waste. It's not just for +radiation any more. hehehe. You'll see a lot of lubricants and shaved up +metals floating around in Waterford's waters. + The Naval base stored up diesel fuel for the past 40 years. They simply ran +out of room on the lower base. So, now they burn up about 3 drums a day. 35 +year old diesel fuel has a distinctive odor. Much like raw bat-shit. + Ming Garden. Why did MG make our hit- list? Don't panic. It's not for their +way of handling the excess kitten population; although rumors fly. Ming Garden +their greasetraps right down into the ground at the end of each night. Ever +wonder where crabgrass comes from? + Evans Shell. Again; another purely arbitrary assignment. This guy's gonna +have to take the heat for ALL the service stations that clean engines right +over a sewer grate. Also going into these sewer grates are any leftover, +useless, (and very potent) oils and assorted solvents. + There you have it. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Apple core; say no +more. + +........................ .a nonpaid advertisement. (hey. we're +........................ havin trouble + collectin our debts just like the rest of em!!!) + The all new FNORD TORMENT. + 100% stainless steel tires that whir at 30 MPH; and scream really high at +60. + FNORD TORMENT has 20 foot tunable hydraulic shocks for slipping over VW's in +heavy traffic. + The TORMENT has a LARGE hood scoop that eats mosquitos, gnats, and medium +sized birds and water foul; converting them to fuel. + A 32 character LED panel in the window is for typing in obscenities at +tailgators, and would-be tailgators. Also serves as a written warning in +advance of Super-illuso-brakes. + Toggle break lights are there for when you dont want to actually use your +breaks; but you want to get someone off your ass while still maintaining an +accelleration. + For those not shaken up by FNORD TORMENT's fake brakelights; uzi-lookin +things pup up out the tailfins. And for unbelievers: fullsized ammo. + For people who wont turn off their highbeams, a megawatt Amtrak Halogen +light on the front. Part # w.att.1k; commonly referred to as the "DEATH RAY". + New TORMENT D-Day style launch pad allows marbles and glass tacks to roll +out back from the underside of the FNORD TORMENT. + 12" woofers and 5" piezos with a drop-in overhead microphone, are stock with +this FNORD for announcing things like, "get the fuck outa the way", or "sunday +driver". + Special option can be ordered for this FNORD model: a wireless helmet with a +built in condenser mic and infra red goggles for night driving when you just +dont feel like turning on your lights. + Drunk drivers got you down? Someone weaving in and out, taking away your +concentration? Maybe endangering your life?

(Fort Griswold Park, Sat., Sept 24, +10am) We're gonna try tackling some of the less obvious companies in our +locale here. + First, a very short word on Pfizer. The only major company left in South- +eastern Connecticut that hasn't pulled out of South Africa. + Next a quick word on GD. + ATI recently did a special survey of the Electric Joke shityard grounds for +ARDIS (John Stockwell's group) and Del- Aware (Abbie Hoffman's band of weary +travelers) to see if EB could do any sneaky shit under the FEMA project. We +concluded that it would be too hard to convert any buildings from their +current purpose over to concentration camps for the blacks and dissidents as +per Louis Guiffrida's "California Paper". + 2 days after the document hit the post office, General Dynamics announced +the go-ahead for a large toxic waste incinerator. + Now what could a conservative state do with a row of large stoves??? At any +rate, we all know that EB and Pfizer are naughty. Let's list a few other local +bad boys. + + +1)Mystic Color Lab 1)silver 2 EB 2 toxic waste 3 +pfizer 3 t. w. 4)Dow 4)latex sux!!! +5)Hess 5)Waste oil 6)Soneco 6)can you say + cyanide.?. 7)Millstone 7)lubricants + ind. waste. 8)Naval base 8)old diesel +9)Ming Garden 9)grease traps 0)Evans Shell 0)waste oil in + sewers. + +.. ... ... + +where's doug??? + +.. ... ... + +Mystic Color Lab got nailed last month for dumping excess quantities of silver +into the river. They were supposed to undergo weekly monitoring; but lo and +behold!!! They've suddenly cut back enormously. + Is this real? + The silver that's being dumped is what's left after 3 attempts to +electronically pan out each silver molecule. What's left cannot be gotten. +The silver (alone or joined) is VERY dangerous to plant life in and out of the +rivers. To meet standards, MCL has attached a 3rd chemical making it LOOK like +they've cleaned up their act. + Bullshit. + MCL is still damaging us. + + As we said, EB is doing mega toxic waste. EB is also responsible for a large +portion of our nation's acid rain problems. + So is Pfizer. Some suggest AIDS got its genesis at an African branch of +Pfizer Corp. + A word on DOW: ever get really sick from lighting a styrofoam cup on fire? +One cup? Dow, burns about 1000 cups worth of styrofoam a day. + Hess? Waste oil is no fun. This stuff shows up in the Thames river now and +then. Fish dont like waste oil. You know things are bad when you open up a can +of tuna (in its own oils) and you see a tiny little barge floating around +trying to make a delivery and it asks you where the dock is between Pfizer and +EB. + Soneco burns all their boxes instead of trucking them out to New Jersey. Too +expensive. These boxes are chemically treated so they're strong enough to hold +harsh stuff. + Millstone is responsible for a LOT of industrial waste. It's not just for +radiation any more. hehehe. You'll see a lot of lubricants and shaved up +metals floating around in Waterford's waters. + The Naval base stored up diesel fuel for the past 40 years. They simply ran +out of room on the lower base. So, now they burn up about 3 drums a day. 35 +year old diesel fuel has a distinctive odor. Much like raw bat-shit. + Ming Garden. Why did MG make our hit- list? Don't panic. It's not for their +way of handling the excess kitten population; although rumors fly. Ming Garden +their greasetraps right down into the ground at the end of each night. Ever +wonder where crabgrass comes from? + Evans Shell. Again; another purely arbitrary assignment. This guy's gonna +have to take the heat for ALL the service stations that clean engines right +over a sewer grate. Also going into these sewer grates are any leftover, +useless, (and very potent) oils and assorted solvents. + There you have it. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

That could mean that +there will be a lot of jobs open to the unemployed come next month, but on the +other side, some of the employers I talked to told me that they opened those +jobs to the strikers because they remember the last long strike and felt that +longer exist when the strike is over. Two of the local taxi companies have +almost all EB strikers as their employees. Now, some of them plan on staying o +as cab drivers because the income can be good (500-700 a week) Most will retur +to work because though the potentials there in the cab for good money is not +always the case. There are bad weeks and good weeks and no benefits. So if you +have a family to support there is a choice between making maybe 500 a week and +a paycheck at the end of the week. You decide. When this strike is over I +expect to see a few unhappy employers in the area for a while and if you are +looking for a job there are certainly gunna be a lot of them out there.

If +you dont vote you better keep your mouth shut when it comes to the +president because if you dont like him you COULD HAVE voted against him. + Now that I have that out of the way let me give you a few of my thoughts +about the US election process. We elect an official to office by voting. Well +if everyond doesnt go out to vote the process wont work right. I mean if there +are 3 million people and only 1 million vote doest that reflect what the publi +as a whole thinks??? (on a united nations poll of 45 "democracies" based solel +on voter turn out, the US ranked 45th) No. The poor and unemployed dont like t +get out and vote because, "man I've been poor this long what makes you think +voting will change anything". Well It could change a lot if all the unemployed +and poor voted. Taxes. Well I dont care who gets in to office and on what +promise he got there on. He will have to raise taxes to make the budget meet. +You want more money for the roads, schools, police, and other things. Well +where do you think that moolah comes from? The government doesnt pull it off +the trees.

Here I will publish exerpts from an employ- +ees' manual which is distributed to female employees of a chat line company +which operates chat lines all over the US, and abroad. Read on.. + + CHARACHTER PROFILE + +ALWAYS choose your opening charachter before opening your key! + +Your voice tone and charachter should match. Don't change names without +changing your voice.If you're working with another monitor, you should listen +for key phrases. Your charachter profile should be AUTHENTIC. You should +remember EVERYTHING about your charachter profile. This includes voice tone, +charachter's description and anything else you may have said about your +charachter to a caller. We recommend that you keep a notebook of charachters +you play. + + Examples of opening phrases: +1. Hi! My name is Peter Rabbit. 2. What's Happening! +3. Anybody out there? I'm sooooo lonely +4. Hey, Hey, Hey! +5. Help! Help! +6. Yo Baby, Yo Baby, Yo! +7. Hey, What's hoppin'? +8. I'm looking for a new love.. +9. Yo! Anybody there? +10. Good Morning! +11. What's it to ya.. +12. Helloooooooo.. +13. I'm going to sing if you don't talk +to me (then sing if they don't) +14. Hey this is (Your charachter name), +Im looking for (Anybody), what am I +going to do?? + + INTERACTING WITH ANOTHER MONITOR + +This technique takes concentration. You must key in on certain phrases and +build either toward it, around it, or take it somewhere else.If you change +directions altogether, you must be aggressive. + + Interacting examples: + +If you're talking on the line with three men and another monitor enters and +says, "Help, help!", if the callers don't respond, you would say: "What's +that? Wait, did you hear that?" + +Monitor #1: What's wrong? +Monitor #2: My husband tied me to the bed! +Monitor #1: What! Is he a maniac? +Monitor #2: Yes! I am afraid he is going to kill me! +Monitor #1: Wait a minute, lady. How did you dial here? +Monitor #2: (Crying and sobbing loudly) I dialed with my nose! + + +WHEN TO TALK EXPLICITLY AND WHEN NOT TO + + Talking seductively requires a certain amount of finesse. You can talk this +way without ever having to say anything sexual. There are different technique +that you can use. We do not want to come across as telephone whores! + There are some key phrases that will let you know when and if the client +wants to talk explicitly. + + Seductive Examples: +1. What are you wearing? +2. Are you in bed? +3. Are you alone? +4. Do you like to talk dirty? +5. Do you like sex? +6. What do you do for fun? +7. Are you playing with yourself? +8. What do you like a woman/man to do for you in bed? + + These phrases will help you to know when to talk expilicitly about sex. If +you start talking seductively and the caller hangs up, when he calls back, +change characters and DON'T talk seductively. When you do realize that the +caller is seeking that type of conversation, select the appropriate technique. + + + WHEN TO AND WHEN NOT TO DISCONNECT A + CALLER + +1. ALWAYS DISCONNECT CHILDREN OFF ALL ADULT LINES without being rude. However, +always mention they should call the TEEN line. +2. If a caller is talking sexually on the TEEN line, disconnect them AFTER +mentioning they should call an adult line. +3. Do not disconnect callers because you do not like them. You are being +paid to talk to the clients, not to have personal likes or dislikes for them. +4. Sometimes hecklers are fun. They brighten up the lines. Use your +instincts and common sense, to decide whether it is appropriate at the time. + + Example: Heckler +A person tries to take down a phone number and someone is shouting or singing +while they are trying to do so, or someone is calling a name over and over, +disrupting all conversation. + + + VOICE QUALITY + + Charachters should be full in every aspect. Practice your voices until they +are perfected. Concentrate on your voice control, voice tone, pitch, and also +practice changing your pitch from high to low, and your voice tone from soft t +caorseness, if possible. + For those who have difficulty changing voices, try to think of it as +singing, working with the scale: "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do". + Change your voice any way possible- High, Low, Soft, Loud, Coarse, +Trembling, Squeaky, with accents..... etc.- ANY WAY YOU LIKE- Just be +different. + + TRAINING SUMMARY + + At the end of this training program, each monitor should be confident that +he/she could have any customer calling back as many times as possible. + You've learned every technique available about how to control your calls to +the point that you know who's calling back and who isn't. You want EVERYONE t +CALL BACK. + Monitors who aren't able to get call backs will need to work harder at thei +conversation. Remember, the final goal is to get call backs. caller not +responding to your conversation quickly enough, get out of that charachter, an +try another. You are selling a phone conversation, so your sales pitch is ver +important. + + + ****END OF TRAINING MANUAL EXERPTS***** + + Neat, huh? Many of the women you hear on these chat lines are simply +paidto keep men on the line. Paid to feign interest in the callers, paid to +coax male callers into staying on the line and calling back in the future. An +yes, expected to talk very explicitly and even participate in phone sex and +"domination" routines with the male callers, if the callers request it. + In our age of crass commercialism, it's not surprising to see yet another +form of human exchange, like the concept of a simple chat line, become +prostituted in this fashion. + Ah, the frontiers of free enterprise... + + Regards..

Getting Around Fascist Checksums + by Happy Hacker (412) + + + New Jersey Bell has announced that +they will make their Class Calling +Services available in selected areas of +New Jersey on November 1st, and expect +to offer it statewide by late next +year. State regulators in New Jersey +approved this group of services on +October 12, 1988 in a 2-to-1 vote. + Class Calling services include the +following: Call Block, in which +customers can block out calls from +certain numbers they do not wish to +receive calls from, Priority Call, in +which customers can have calls coming +from certain numbers they specify be +announced by a special ring, Repeat +Call, which allows continuous redialing +of the last number dialed, Select +Forward, which transfers calls from up +to 6 specified numbers to another +telephone number, Return Call, which +allows a person to automatically call +back the last telephone number that +called it, Call Trace, where customers +can automatically trace the last call +completed to their telephones by +dialing a three-digit code, and +Caller ID, where the originating number +of all incoming calls is displayed on +an LED device attached to the tele- +phone (The LED device must be purchased +separately for $70-80). + Class Calling features are affect- +ed by intralata calls only. Calls +originating from outside NJ or calls +crossing the 201/609 area will not +be affected by Class Calling features. +Also, Class Calling is currently +only available in Hudson County and +Atlantic City. Currently, only calls +originatiing and terminating in these +areas are able to utilize Class Calling +features. Once the service is avail- +able statewide, however, all intralata +calls will be subject to Class. And +although it's obvious that Crossbar +and Step-by-step switched areas cannot +utilize Class Calling, the number +of areas served by these switches in +New Jersey is extremely small. + Sounds great, doesn't it? Marvell- +ing at these wonders of technology? +Don't applaud it too quickly. All +telephone users should become +concerned with these services, as they +are an invasion of caller's privacy. + Also, the Call Trace feature +arises another concern mentioned by +many telecom enthusiasts, including +2600 Magazine: It seems that many +services that were done free of charge +by telephone companies are developing +charges. The Call Trace feature is +perhaps a herald of days to come where +people harrassed by annoyance calls +must PAY to have their harrassers +caught. The Call Trace feature permits +persons to trace calls, but at the cost +of $1 per each traceable call (The call +must be an intralata (non-long dis- +tance) call). The results of each +traceable call are released to the +autorities at a customer's request. +However, even when a call is deemed +"traceable" by NJ Bell and the customer +is billed $1 for the trace, the call +may not be indeed traceable, as was in +the case of a New Jersey man who paid the sum of $42 for call traces, only +to find out by the police department +that only approximately 5 of them +were "traceable". + However, worse yet are the impli- +cations of the Caller ID service, which +is what bulk of this article will +discuss. New Jersy Board of Public +Utilities president Christine Todd +Whitman voted against approving the +Class Calling services, pointing outut several problems she had with the +Caller ID service, in an article in +The Star Ledger, a NJ-based newspaper. + Since the Caller ID service causes +telephone users to unknowingly transmit +their telephone numbers by simply +placing a call, this can cause serious +problems for may people. Whitman +pointed out that many people make +job/work-related calls from home and +would not like their home numbers +disclosed to parties they call. +Doctors, social workers and other +professionals often make these types of +calls. Whitman also pointed out that people who need help may be discouraged +from calling anonymous helplines out +of fear of their telephone numbers +being identified. And let's take that +thought a step further: Persons who +might wish to anonymously give infor- +mation to local authorities might +be discouraged to do so, fearing they +might be indentified through disclosal +of their telephone numbers. + NJ Bell points out that one of +the benefits of Caller ID is that it +will discourage telephone "abusers", +i.e., people who place prank calls. +However, they fail to realize that it +will create a sort of anarchy, in which +people will confront callers who they +feel are "pranking" them by calling +them back. This can cause a simple +hangup call to escalate into a far +worse situation. + One example of such an escalation +can be seen in a real-life occurrence +described to this author. A girl +placing a local call dialed an +incorrect number. Realizing she had +dialed a wrong number, she hung up the +phone shortly after the called party +had picked up the phone. After hanging +up the phone, she looked for the +correct number to call. Suddenly, her +phone rang. + + "Hello?", answered the girl. + "Don't EVER do that again", spoke + a threatening voice into the phone. + +Yes, that DID happen. And, the girl +realized, after being frightened by the +phone call, that she had indeed mis- +takenly dialed the number of an +acquaintence who susbscribed to Caller +ID. + Caller ID will undoubtedly create +many more uncomfortable situations +like the one described above. And, +a strange sort of telephone "anarchy" +will result, as NJ Bell refuses to +step into any sort of phone harrassment +situation once the Caller ID subsciber +has confronted a person he feels is +placing harassing calls to him. + Besides the obvious gross +violations of privacy to all citizens, +BBS callers are especially adversely +affected by Caller ID. Think of the +result if BBS sysops begin to subscribe +to Caller ID to identify incoming +calls to their BBSs. Many BBS callers +enjoy bulletin boards due to the +anonymity associated with calling them. +They expect privacy. Many BBS callers, +for one reason or another do not wish +to disclose their identity of phone +number to other BBS users, even sysops. +Caller ID can be used against these +people to identify them against their +wishes. Also, BBS sysops subscribing +to Caller ID can instantly check the +validity of personal information left +by a new user on his system. If a BBS +sysop catches a user leaving false +personal information, he can relay +this information to other area sysops. +The result is that the BBS user who +just wishes for a little privacy can +find himself blacklisted from many +bulletin boards. Caller ID will can also seriously +affect the activites of telecom +enthusiasts and casual hackers as well. +Small, local computer systems with +little security may subscribe to Caller +ID to combat hackers from entering +their systems. Long distance services +such as MCI, and packet switched +networks such as Telenet and Tymnet +may subscribe to Caller ID to identify +all incoming calls to their systems. +Consider the implications! + So, sounds pretty bad, eh? So, +you don't want your calls selectively +forwarded, announced by special rings, +blocked out, returned, or otherwise +traced? There are ways around Class +features! One way is to use an +alternate carrier while placing a call. +Alternate carriers are often used +to place intralata toll calls for +economical reasons. But, the easiest +way to combat Class features is to +simply add a "1" plus the area code +you are calling while placing intralata +calls. For example, if you are in +the 201 NPA, and you are calling the +number 656-9999, simply dial +1-201-656-9999. By dialing your call +in this fashion, it will override all +Class Calling features, including +Caller ID and Call Trace. Or, simply +plug into your neighbor's line with +some alligator clips while placing +calls that you do not wish to be traced +to you. The more people that are +aware of these methods, the more +privacy the public will remain to have. +Go to it, friends... + + + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +:ATI, changing the way people : + read for over 2 years. +:ATI, a freedom paper. : + ATI, a way of life, patriots / +:ATI, more than just a - - + newspaper, it's the rag / +:of justice!!! / + - - - - - - - - - - - +#b#b#b#b#b#b +el section # Living Colour +de musica b Que Idea!!! +b#b#b#b#b#b# + Living color is a 3-piece +all-black heavy metal band.

A New Haven +Yippie Convention. + ATI recently attended a Vicious +Hippies/Wavy Gravy concert. + It was phenomenal. + Wavy Gravy started us off with his +"Gong Bong". It involved sitting indian +style in a circle holding hands. We +were to breath in slowly and deeply +thru +our noses til we couldnt take any more +in, then you let it out hissing thru +your teeth. 14 times is an official +GongBong, according to Hugh Romney, aka +Wavy Gravy. He suggested we start out +with just 7 since we're east coast, and +cant relate to peace and harmony quite +yet. + The Yale dweebs got offended and +demanded a chance at 14, so we did +fourteen. +Success. On the 14th "hit" you scream +out whatever comes out your lungs, and +the band (Vicious Hippies) takes the +noise in and resubmits it as raucous +rock-n-roll. + And rock, they did. + There was a pinjuggler off in the +corner, and an old guy up front doing +the +swim to an Elvis tune. He did assorted +other archaic dances to amuse the young +crowd. Wavy Gravy was out on the dance +floor waving a wammo bubble blower full +of soap bubbles having a grand old +time. + I'd say the most unique part of +their sound would be from the +percussionist +with his exotic instruments, and the +keyboardist with his unmistakable +Hammond +organ mixed in with assorted synths. + After about six songs of grateful +dead type all out uninhibited dancing, +we +took a quick break for drinks or +whatever, and out came Wavy Gravy.

Believe me, I know. You +dont want a dog that's gonna run away +when a robber calls, or bark needlessly +waking the neighbors and getting +himself shot. + The perfect dog is quiet, loyal, and +strong. I've scared the hell out of +many +a pitbull, and an aweful lot of +dobermans, and on the otherhand, there +are some +neighborhood miniature Schnausers I +would NEVER mess with. + The most important things you want +your dog to be capable of are, +catching, +and alerting, and waiting. S/he should +have that feline characteristic of +stalking. Nice and quiet, she snoops +up, and catches the threat to your +privacy. + S/he should have a nice vicious bark +that's reserved for emergency. You +should know by your dog's tone that +something's up so you can come right +over. + Your dog should then have the +patience of a student activist. + He or she should be able to wait at +the enemy's feet, gnawing on his +anklebone, taking lots of abuse til +you get there armed with a +gun/fone/plastique (whichever the +situation necessitates). + Two ways to check your potential dog +follow: Run straight after him. Many a +doberman will run away if he feels +threatened. While a smart move on the +street; this is not wise when +defending land. If s/he takes 2 or 3 +steps back, +and digs in, that's your animal. + Bark. If the dog starts going nuts, +barking, and shouting, and wailing, +s/he's not your pet. You want a quiet +dog. His/her first reaction should be +stepping up alertness. The ears perk +up, the eyes start focusing, the back +hunches up. The best dog will be +sizing up the situation like a Navy +Seal. + If the dog reacts right to these two +tests, go for it. You'll find your +abode +in good hands. + Bye, for now.

Back to +what happened a thousand seconds +ago (1:03 a.m. this Tuesday morning, +January 13, 1987) +So, I dialed the number using my +Radio Shack autodialing tone-dialer. +After what I thought was a successful +connection to the multi-user +mainframe in Orlando, Florida--- the +phone went dead. +Can you recognize the sound of +numbers dialing at about 19200 bps? I +heard it! I knew what it was. Oh, it +had to be at least 28 tones dialed +before +I hung up the phone in pure panic. Up +and down, high and low pitch.

I wanted to learn all the +ins and out of hack-phreak. Well, here +I +am.) +After hanging up the phone I dialed +every local modem number I could +possibly connect to. All busy. I then +got right onto Tymnet and logged onto +Delphi (my own legally owned account). + It's after hanging up from them that +I +began gathering all my nuts into the +brief-case to stow it away, and that +brings us right up to this very moment. +I'm nervous, really nervous. They +haven't called, and I've left the +phone untied for 7 minutes now. I +think a few things here: 1) They +didn't get a +trace. 2) They got one, but can't do +a damned thing about it. 3) They got a +trace, but are legally bound to +calling me only between the hours 8:30 +a.m. and +8:30 p.m. +You think I'll sleep one second +tonight?

Say +something." + "He has yet to be briefed by his +advisers," said speaker Lario +speakoffsky. "He will address you all +at an open conference within 36 hours." + The premier rushed off to his +helocopter where he would bolted to +headquarters to be told what to say +the next night in front of both +television +audiences: his, and those capitalist +pigs. + See, it's 1995, and the Soviet +Union had been taken over by +anarchists. +This meant that freedom was prevalant. +This was suddenly a more liberal +country +than Amerika. It WAS inevitable: a +Rehnquist/Reagan royal wedding made +merica +more of a police state; so the Union +had to balance things off with a freer +society. Gorbachv made things very +much freer than Russians had seen in +the +80's but his death marked the birth of +anarchy in the ussr. Hence, much more +liberalism.

Now, the press-- TASS, +pravda, ussr today, The Evening, the +Hartforsk Courante, and the New +Yourfsko +Minute all could never forgive a +leader for supplying the enemy. + Fred P.

Marihuana is available anywhere in the +country, as the black market is widespread and thriving very well. + There are many different methods of growing marihuana, and it seems everyone +has just discovered the best fertilizer. I could not relay all the methods in +five books, so have settled for the technique that has been proven most +successful. + Most seeds are fertile, but the best are from Mexico. Never under any +circumstances throw seeds away, since marihuana is a weed and will grow almost +anywhere. The first step is to soak your seeds overnight in clean, lukewarm +water. YOur container should be a standard planter box. If this is not +available, a plastic dish tray about two inches deep will serve uset as well. +Fill the container with washed fine sand and shredded sphagnum moss. If this is +not readily available, you can use regular soil. The soil should be packed +firmly, and watered well so that the excess water is allowed to run off. Dig +furrows the full length of the container about one-half-inch deep. Now you are +ready to sow your seeds. Do so every inch. Fill in each furrow with soil, sand, +moss, and water. Cover the container with a clear plastic sheet, and place it +in a warm location where there are at least six hours of sunlight a day. The +plants now remain on their own until they develop their first true leaves. + Even it the material above is not available, almost the same degree of +success can be accomplished by placing the seeds on several layers of water +soaked paper towels. Now cover the seeds with a plastic sheet jsut as above, +and expose to sunlight. + In about one week, signs of life should start to appear. Within two weeks, +definite little leaves should be present. This is the time to transplant. The +plot you intend to use for your transplant should be carefully prepared. +Manure should be used for at least one week in advance of the actual +transplant. The soil should be similar to the original soil used in the +germinating box. All other weeds, in the general area of your plot, should be +pulled to allow your plant as much freedom as possible. + The original germinating box should be watered the day before you are going +to transplant, so as to make the move easier and less traumatic on the +plants.The plants should be placed in holes two to three inches deep, depending +on the size of the plant. The earth around the plant should be loose, and if +possible, some earthworms should be added. If there is a lack of sunlight, a +simple ring of tinfoil around the plant can be very helpful. The first few days +are the msot critical after the actual transplant. If the plants survive the +shock, there should be no reason why they shouldn't grow into healthy, fully +grown plants (which means, in certain climates, fifteen to twenty feet high). + Very little care is needed after this stage, with the exception of +fertilization. For fertilizers, one can use manure, soluble nitrogen, nitrate +of soda, sulfate of ammonia, or rotting garbage (which has always been +popular). To produce a stronger plant, on can clip off the lower leaves; do +this only when the plant reaches a height of at least three feet. The ground +surrounding your plant should be kept clear of other weeds, but strangely +enough, insects ignore marihuana and do virtually no harm. + As a rule, it is better to wait until the plants have gone to seed before +they are cut, but if you're greedy, you can kill the goose that laid the +golden egg. The best agent for drying is the sun, but if you live in the city +it could prove embarrassing and dangerous to have five- or ten-foot pot trees +on your fire escape- in this case a sun lamp can be used. When using the sun, +drying usually takes about two weeks. With a sun lamp, the pot is smokable +after only three or four days. When drying is done, seperate the leaves and +crush them. This will be the finest smoke, unless you have a female plant. If +so, save the blossoms for the most potent smoke there is. The stems and twigs +can be chopped up and smoked in a pipe, or sold to a friend. + Grass is basically a weed and can be grown anywhere, including indoors with +artificial light. A sun lamp works well from a distance of two to three feet. +For an interesting experiment, use infra -red light on part of your crop and a +sun lamp on the other part, then compare. A bathtub or cement mixer is an ideal +planter for the city dweller. + + COOKING WITH POT + + Pot Soup +1 can condensed beef broth +3 tablespoons grass +3 tablespoons lemon juice +1/2 can water +3 tablespoons chopped watercress +Combine all ingredients in a saucepan an +dbring to a boil over medium heat.

Ever wonder about maybe one +rather outgoing female on the line and why she was sooo friendly? + The reason is simple. Usually in these situations the one outgoing, +slightly seductive female voice you hear belongs to a woman who is paid to +monitor these chat lines, but is also required to double as an actress, to +pretend to be a regular caller on the line, and to coax male callers, through +any methods needed, to stay on the line longer. + Here, I give you an ATI first. Here I will publish exerpts from an employ- +ees' manual which is distributed to female employees of a chat line company +which operates chat lines all over the US, and abroad. Read on.. + + CHARACHTER PROFILE + +ALWAYS choose your opening charachter before opening your key! + +Your voice tone and charachter should match. Don't change names without +changing your voice.If you're working with another monitor, you should listen +for key phrases. Your charachter profile should be AUTHENTIC. You should +remember EVERYTHING about your charachter profile. This includes voice tone, +charachter's description and anything else you may have said about your +charachter to a caller. We recommend that you keep a notebook of charachters +you play. + + Examples of opening phrases: +1. Hi! My name is Peter Rabbit. 2. What's Happening! +3. Anybody out there? I'm sooooo lonely +4. Hey, Hey, Hey! +5. Help! Help! +6. Yo Baby, Yo Baby, Yo! +7. Hey, What's hoppin'? +8. I'm looking for a new love.. +9. Yo! Anybody there? +10. Good Morning! +11. What's it to ya.. +12. Helloooooooo.. +13. I'm going to sing if you don't talk +to me (then sing if they don't) +14. Hey this is (Your charachter name), +Im looking for (Anybody), what am I +going to do?? + + INTERACTING WITH ANOTHER MONITOR + +This technique takes concentration. You must key in on certain phrases and +build either toward it, around it, or take it somewhere else.If you change +directions altogether, you must be aggressive. + + Interacting examples: + +If you're talking on the line with three men and another monitor enters and +says, "Help, help!", if the callers don't respond, you would say: "What's +that? Wait, did you hear that?" + +Monitor #1: What's wrong? +Monitor #2: My husband tied me to the bed! +Monitor #1: What! Is he a maniac? +Monitor #2: Yes! I am afraid he is going to kill me! +Monitor #1: Wait a minute, lady. How did you dial here? +Monitor #2: (Crying and sobbing loudly) I dialed with my nose! + + +WHEN TO TALK EXPLICITLY AND WHEN NOT TO + + Talking seductively requires a certain amount of finesse. You can talk this +way without ever having to say anything sexual. There are different techniques +that you can use. We do not want to come across as telephone whores! + There are some key phrases that will let you know when and if the client +wants to talk explicitly. + + Seductive Examples: +1. What are you wearing? +2. Are you in bed? +3. Are you alone? +4. Do you like to talk dirty? +5. Do you like sex? +6. What do you do for fun? +7. Are you playing with yourself? +8. What do you like a woman/man to do for you in bed? + + These phrases will help you to know when to talk expilicitly about sex. If +you start talking seductively and the caller hangs up, when he calls back, +change characters and DON'T talk seductively. When you do realize that the +caller is seeking that type of conversation, select the appropriate technique. + + + WHEN TO AND WHEN NOT TO DISCONNECT A + CALLER + +1. ALWAYS DISCONNECT CHILDREN OFF ALL ADULT LINES without being rude. However, +always mention they should call the TEEN line. +2. If a caller is talking sexually on the TEEN line, disconnect them AFTER +mentioning they should call an adult line. +3. Do not disconnect callers because you do not like them. You are being +paid to talk to the clients, not to have personal likes or dislikes for them. +4. Sometimes hecklers are fun. They brighten up the lines. Use your +instincts and common sense, to decide whether it is appropriate at the time. + + Example: Heckler +A person tries to take down a phone number and someone is shouting or singing +while they are trying to do so, or someone is calling a name over and over, +disrupting all conversation. + + + VOICE QUALITY + + Charachters should be full in every aspect. Practice your voices until they +are perfected. Concentrate on your voice control, voice tone, pitch, and also +practice changing your pitch from high to low, and your voice tone from soft to +caorseness, if possible. + For those who have difficulty changing voices, try to think of it as +singing, working with the scale: "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do". + Change your voice any way possible- High, Low, Soft, Loud, Coarse, +Trembling, Squeaky, with accents..... etc.- ANY WAY YOU LIKE- Just be +different. + + TRAINING SUMMARY + + At the end of this training program, each monitor should be confident that +he/she could have any customer calling back as many times as possible. + You've learned every technique available about how to control your calls to +the point that you know who's calling back and who isn't. You want EVERYONE to +CALL BACK. + Monitors who aren't able to get call backs will need to work harder at their +conversation. Remember, the final goal is to get call backs. caller not +responding to your conversation quickly enough, get out of that charachter, and +try another. You are selling a phone conversation, so your sales pitch is very +important. + + + ****END OF TRAINING MANUAL EXERPTS***** + + Neat, huh? Many of the women you hear on these chat lines are simply +paidto keep men on the line. Paid to feign interest in the callers, paid to +coax male callers into staying on the line and calling back in the future. And +yes, expected to talk very explicitly and even participate in phone sex and +"domination" routines with the male callers, if the callers request it. + In our age of crass commercialism, it's not surprising to see yet another +form of human exchange, like the concept of a simple chat line, become +prostituted in this fashion. + Ah, the frontiers of free enterprise... + + Regards..

As most of you know, a very well-known hacker by the +handle of Doc Telecom (formerly Laser) got busted in the San Jose area. It's +uncertain as to what his fate will be, and I'm concerned. + + I'm also concerned about what's going to happen in the hack/phreak world +these days. With the recent development of the virus that spread through- out +many computers in the nation, it seems that the media's attention will soon be +turned full force on telecom enthusiasts. It's been rumored that the 804 +bridge has been taped and will be broadcasted this week (week ending 11-19-88) +on ABC's show "20/20" as part of a story on hackers/phreakers. I predict a +negative image will be portrayed, as usual. This will create a backlash of +even more negative public opinion, and perhaps even more "crackdown" efforts on +the part of the authorities and security personnel. + +By the way, it's late Sunday night, and so far I've seen 2 talk shows regarding +computers, mainframes, viruses..and hackers were even mentioned. + +In any event, watch "20/20" this week.

I'm sitting in the +employees' lounge, waiting to start my +shift at 1:30. I tiredly rest my head +in my hands, elbows resting on the +table +cluttered with newspapers. The 2 +Jamaican men who work in the +supermarket's +parking lot returning carraiges are +sitting opposite me. They both just +quietly +smile at me, in silent comprehension +of my tired spirit. + Her voice then penetrates other +background noises in the room and +grasps my +attention. "Yeah, it's like, I get +home and he leaves to go to work. It's +hard", she says, in her loud Jersey +vernacular. Her voice is biting, and +annoying, just as her words. + "Yeah, he works as a police +officer. And we never get to see each +other. +My husband loves his job, and +sometimes when he has the night off he +gets called +in! + "And you know I get a maid to +come in sometimes. But she doesn't +clean. +When I clean, I CLEAN", she says with +a neurotic toss of the head. I recall +seeing the same toss of the head +delivered with the same words stated +by some of +my Italian relations. + I shook my head in silent +contempt and looked at my two Jamaican +companions. They shook their heads in +agreement. I got up, went downstairs +and +punched in. + The work day went by slowly, as +my thoughts preoccupied me. Thoughts +of my +troubles, my friends' troubles, and +what the future would bring. And all +the the +while, I catered to the suburban ego +looking for baked goods. + Finally, it was 9:40. Time to +clean out the bins of unsold rolls. A +lot +of rolls today. I worked hurriedly to +take out the unsold rolls and throw +them +in garbage bags. They would be thrown +away. I thought of the many people who +went hungry each night, and the rolls +and donuts that would be thrown into +the +grabage compactor. I conteplated the +illogic of waste, and the injustice of +a +human being going hungry as I tossed +the rolls into a garbage bag inside a +shopping cart next to me. + Then, a sound grabbed my +attention. An annoying, unpleasant +sound. It +was the sound of gum snapping. I +looked up and saw the "officer's wife" +at the +other end of the aisle. + "Hey!!", she shouted between gum +snappings at a young man working behind +the deli counter. "What are you +going to do?" + She walked over to the deli +counter and leaned over it. She was +several +years older than the young man she was +speaking to, and I thought her display +to +be rather distasteful. As she talked +to him she leaned closer towards him. +Then, she pranced away, and after +advancing about 50 feet away from the +counter +shouted, "As they say, it's your +move", obviously straining her limited +intellect for the words. + Another young man who worked in +the produce dept. walked up to her and +told +her he couln't go drinking with her, +as he had an early class the next day. + I +simply shook my head, wheeling the +carraige full of rolls to be discarded +into +the corner. + Quitting time. I walked through +the employees' parking lot towards my +car. +Something then sped past me. It was a +brand-new IROC driven by one of my +fellow +employees, blasting a Bon Jovi song +through its open window. The driver +shouted +something at a group congregated by +another car as she passed. + Then, my loud-mouthed, +gum-snapping friend drove past me +with the young +man from the deli in her passenger +seat. She drove by in a brand-new +Cadillac +sedan. Must be why she felt such a +dire need to work. That's why she kept +complaining about not being able to +survive and a policeman's salary. + "You don't own that car. The car +and what it represents seem to own +you. +But I guess that's ok with you. Then +again, I doubt that you could comprhend +this", I said quietly as I glanced at +the taillights of the Cadillac. + I got into my car and drove onto +the main thouroughfare. + 10:20 PM. Bored and restless, I +decided to go for a ride. + I drove to a local suburban mall. + The mall was closed, but I went to the +arcade that adjoined it. As I parked +my car, I saw a group of the usual +"mall +rats" that were part of the mall's and +arcarde's usual decor. The males of +the +group wore ragged jeans, concert +t-shirts, bandandas, and donned +leather or +denim jackets. The girls wore similar +garb, although many of them wore +spandex +tiger-striped pants, making them look +like refugees from the latest MTV +video by +Guns and Roses. + I walked into the arcade and +played a few games on the one pinball +machine +I had acquired skill. I became bored +quickly, and decided to take a short +walk +around the arcade before I moved on to +another equally fascinating sight. + As I explored the arcade, I ran +into Joe, and old acquantence from the +arcade. "Hey Joe", I said as I walked +towards him. + "Hi..Whatcha been up to?", he +asked, brushing back his curly black +hair. + "Uh, not much. Working in a +supermarket. You working these +days?", I +inquired, already knowing the answer. + "Nah. Haven't for a while." + "How old are you now? 25?" + "Yeah, somewhere around there..", +said Joe. + "You can't hang out forever." + "I know. But I want to while I +can." + "You're a very intelligent, +attractive guy. It's a waste for you +to just +hang around here", I said, knowing +that saying it wouldn't make a rat's +ass of +difference. + "I know." + "Hey, I gotta get home. Take +care, Joe", I said as I headed towards +the +exit. + 12:05 AM. I grew weary, but my +restlessness urged me to drive on. I +got +onto the highway, deciding I would +visit a friend in Bayonne who I knew +kept +late nights. + As I drove towards Jersey City, I +passed several billboads advertising +various products, including newly +built condos in the area. +Gentrification. I +knew those condos were making homes +for the Yuppies who found it more +eonomically feasible to live right +across the river from New York City. +And I +knew the condos used to be apartments +belonging to working class/poor +people. +But not anymore. They were evicted to +make room for a more profitable venture +for the landlords. + I drove past the main train +terminal in Jersey City and stopped +for a red +light. I lowered my window and gazed +at the dozen or so homeless people +sleeping on the concrete floor outside +of the train station. Two of the +transients were standing within +earshot by the street's edge. One of +them asked +a woman passing by them for some +change. + "Why don't you get a fucking +job", snarled the middle-aged woman in +a loud, +brash Jersey accent. "Always looking +for a fucking handout, you people". + The light changed. As I drove +away, I wondered if it had occurred to +the +lower-middle class woman that she +could soon be in the same position as +the two +unfortunates she had coldly denied. +Doubtful. + As I drove into Bayonne, I +noticed a police car following me. It +stayed +behind me for about twenty blocks, +then pulled up next to me while I was +stopped +at a light. The officer driving the +car glanced at me. I returned his +glance, +and the light changed. He turned +around and drove away. I was not +surprised, +as for some reason police officers +often enjoyed observing me. + I continued on to my friend's +house, and noticed his car wasn't +outside. +He wasn't home. I usually would call +to announce my visit beforehand, but +was +glad I hadn't tonight. If I had +learned he wasn't home, I would have +driven +home early and in a more sullen mood +than I was in. + I pulled my car over on one of +Bayonne's more busier streets and got +out of +the car to stetch out a bit. As I +stood outside the car, a car full of +the local +stock of Italian guys drove past me. +One of the many occupants of the car +mooned me as another shouted, "Hey, +baby!!". I waved them off tiredly and +got +back in my car. + I drove on the highway towards +home, passing the vast industrial +plants +that lined the highway. The smoke +from the many buildings filled the +sky. I +sighed, and took a deep breath of the +toxic air. My car drove onwards, onto +Newark's city streets. + As my journey came to a close, I +passed by a New Jersey Bell central +office, where 2 months before I had +spotted a tall young man going though +papers +in the trash dumpster in the +buliding's parking lot. The building +had since +became enclosed in a barbed wire +fence, with signs in Englsh and +Spanish saying, +"New Jersey Bell.

In this + issue, he contributes info on some + phun terroristic things to do. + Take it away....! + + + $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ + Jungle Survival + --------------- + By: Digital Destruction (604) + + Hello once again, ATI freaks, it's me again with some more + hints to get you through those pesky situations which + always manage to mess up your dinner reservations...This + time, Jungle War Tactics. + Has there ever been a time when you were taking a + leisurely walk through the Amazon jungle only to realize by + way of a note pinned to a tree by a spear that you were being + stalked by headhunters? At that moment I'll bet most of you + + + + + + + + + + + + + said to yourselves 'Gee, I wish I knew some Jungle war + tactics!'..Well Here's the break youve been looking for. + + Knife trick: + ------------ + + To kill your enemy by way of excruciatin pain, use this + method. Sharpen many hardwood sticks, and plant point-up + in a patch of land -on a trail, for instance- and + cover in fesces. Then cover it all with leaves or + something and when Bongo and Umgala come after you, they + will step on the sticks, get driven into their feet (And if + they fell their bodies), and if that dont kill em then blood + poisoning from the feces will. + + Pond Trick + ---------- + If you can find a very still pond, you can plant the sharp + sticks in this, but you dont have to, and then cover with + grass, leaves etc. They will think it is land and SPLOOSH. + + Well, those two tricks should do it. (I cant think of any + more!) So + until next time, Hasta! + + + + + 'Good Time' Tear Gas + -------------------- + By: Digital Destruction (604) + + Okay everyone, it's time to cook! + It seems to me, that an insurance seminar just wouldnt + be any fun without some good potent tear gas. Am I right? + Well anyway, As I was walking through my local K-Mart I was + approached by the King, Elvis himself who instructed me + by divine intervention to write this file so here goes. + + To make real potent tear gas, it's relatively simple. + + Ingredients: + ------------ + 2 lbs. of red pepper seeds + A handy-dandy Popeil Percolater + A perfume bottle or Binaca Blaster + + Procedure: + ---------- + Place seeds, 1/2 pound at a time and perk (perk?) for an + hour or two. Scoop the seeds out and you will have about 2 + tablespoons of the most potent resin I've seen. Put this + with a little + Tabasco in a squirter and there ya go. The seeds can also be + + + + + + + + + + + + + reused for fun... The next time you go see 'Camille' in the + movies, toss a few off the balcony! Hee Hee....Anyway, this + is Digital + Destruction telling you, when the earth collides with the + sun, try to stay out of the backblast. + + + The Calcium Carbide Grenade + --------------------------- + By: Digital Destruction(604) + + Ya know, one of the things I like about this country is + that anyone can build their very own anti-personell + grenade using store bought everyday materials. In this + file I will discuss how to build one of these babies. + It should be known that when this grenade is exploded + it produces a cloud of thick grey smoke 40 feet in diameter + hovering 3 feet above the ground in which nobody can see + or breathe with just a hint of shrapnel to top off the + event, so I wouldnt go throwing it at your local boy scout + parade for a 'good laugh'...Procede with caution... + There are still a lot of angry Indians left over from + Bhopal. + + Ingredients needed: + ------------------- + 250 grams of Calcium Carbide + (You can buy this stuff in any hardware store as lantern + fuel) + + 1 Coca-Cola can (Washed and dried) + + 1 100ml test tube (pyrex) + + 1 rubber cork + + Duct tape + + Procedure: + ---------- + + Funnel 180-250g of Cal. Carbide into the can so it is about + 1/4 full. Then, remembering to keep it AWAY from water, + put aside. Fill test tube to 100ml and cork. MAKE SURE the + outside of this is COMPLETELY dry. Any excess water on the + cork or outside of the tube will make YOU an instant + victim! Then, carefully insert test tube into hole in top of + can so it rests on bed of C.C.. Drop dots of wax around + opening to hermetically seal opening, and wrap the whole + thing in duct tape. When thrown, upon impact, the test tube + will break, scattering water all over the C.C. creating a + gaseous reaction resulting in 600lbs per square inch of + pressure which will last about 5 seconds. the can will + explode, shrapnel will fly and the gas will go. Here is a + + + + + + + + + + + + + picture of how it should look. + + + ------ffff--- + ! ff ! + ! !! ! + ! !! ! + ! !! ! + !WATER>!! ! + ! !! ! + ! !! ! + ! !! ! + ! () ! + !CCCCCCCCCCC! + !CALCIUMCCCC! + !CARBIDECCCC! + ------------- + Remember. Carbide gas is a cancer + causing toxin and is fatal. + + Now you have your own anti-personell + grenade! Won't Mom be surprised! + Have fun.....And be careful. + Until next time, VIVA REVOLUTION! + + + + Mall Terrorism + -------------- + + ..Phun things to do in the vast + malls of Suburbia, by The Happy + Hacker and Digital Destruction + + + 1. Get 500 mg gelatin capsules and + fill about 100 of them with high- + potency suds. Also fill about 30 + capsules with red Jello mix. Dump + all the capsules into the large + fountain that is the central part + of many malls. The time necessary + for the capsules to dissolve and wreak + their havoc will be sufficient for + you to make a non-hasty exit from the + area. + + 2. Take a penny, and wrap a (1/4") + strip of litmus paper. Wrap that in + a foil gum wrapper, making sure the + penny, litmus paper and the foil all + touch each at some point. You now + a crude version of an electronic theft + device! Place it in a plant next to + + + + + + + + + + + + + the security "towers" at the exit of + the store. The alarm will keep going + off, and no one will be able to figure + out what's setting it off!! + + 3. Phun with Mannequins! Try these! + a. Put Groucho Marx glasses on them. + b. Switch wigs on male and female + mannequins. + c. Make them hold signs with + revolutionary quotes on them. + d. Stand next to mannequins and stay + still. Pretend to be one! + + 4. If you are male, go to the women's + makeup counter and demand service. + + 5. Put comdoms over security cameras, + of course avoiding being seen by + them before/while doing so. + + 7. Computers! Write a short BASIC + program that spews obscenitites or + other annoying propaganda across the + screen of a display computer in a + store. Here's an example of one for a Commodore 64: + + 10 PRINT"(CLR HOME)" + 20 POKE 53281,0:POKE 53280,0 + 21 INPUT"PRESS ANY KEY FOR DEMO!":A$ + 22 IF A$="" THEN 22 + 23 PRINT"(CLR HOME)":PRINT:PRINT:PRINT: PRINT + 24 PRINT"(CNTRL-2)THERE ONCE WAS A GIRL FROM VERMEETH" + 25 PRINT"THAT LIKED TO CIRCUMCIZE GUYS + WITH HER TEETH" + 26 PRINT"NOT FOR THE MONEY" + 27 PRINT"AND NOT FOR THE GLORY" + 28 PRINT"BUT JUST FOR THE CHEESE + UNDERNEATH!!" + + NOTE:Where the prg says "(CLR HOME)", + you will actually type SHIFT and the + CLR HOME key.

Phun in the parking lot! + a. Redirect traffic with orange + traffic cones. + + + + + + + + + + + + + b. (You need a few people for this + one) Go past all the newer model + cars, giving each a healthy shove + while passing. This should result + in an infinite number of car alarms + going off at once! + + 9. Pranks in the Electronics Dept! + a. Put porno flick in display VCR. + some other very offensive commedian + in a cassette deck. + + 10. Mix smut books in with other + books being sold at the bookstore. + Also, if they have a display window, + replace one of the displayed books + with the most bizarre smut book you + can find. + + 11. Pay F0ne Phun! + a. See a crowd of annoying mall rats + congregating around a pay phone + waiting for one of their buddies to + call them and tell them their + parents have gone out and it's ok to + have the troop of degenerates over + for a Megadeath listening party? No + problem! Go to the pay phone across + the hallway and watch them curse + angrily with screams of "What da + fuck?!?" as you direct an SSCU to + constantly call that number and say + "Hello, Hello, Hello..." + b. Pull underneath rubber covering + by the handset of a pay fone and + locate the red wire. Strip it, then + cut it. The pay phone will accept + coins, but won't connect any call + after someone has paid for it. Go + back the next day and twist the + spliced ends of the wire together. + Voila! You have hit the jackpot, and + should receive every coin that has + been insereted into the phone since + the red wire was cut. + c. Put a rubber spider, or something + equally disquieting in the coin + return slot of a pay phone. Stay + nearby and watch your surprised + victim retrieve it!! + + 12. Here are some standard names you + can have paged in a depeartment store: + + + + + + + + + + + + + a. Connie Linkus + b. Dick Hurtz + c. Mike Hunt + d. Ben Dover + e. Jack Meoff + + 13. Take a powerful magnet, preferably + a bar magnet, and hold it in your hand + as inconspicuously as possible. Walk + over to a video game in progress in + the mall-rat infested arcade and hold + the magnet in back of the machine. + The screen of the video game will be + disrupted, to the suprise and dismay + of the players and spectators, until + you remove the magnet. + + + That's all the terroristic pranks we + can think of at the moment. But be + on the lookout for Mall Terrorism, + Part 2 in the near future! + ###################################### + And now, on a more cheerful note, + a poem from Ground Zero + in my room + ---------- + i lie alone + the world speeds on + victimized + alone i lie + + hope's not here + i've no reprieve + the walls preach doom + the walls deceive + + but do they lie? + my mind's awry + in discontent + i wonder why + + the darkened night + removes my sight + i face my doom + alone + in my room + + %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + + News From the Front.. + + **** POSSIBLE DATA LOSS 00 21J **** + (Hehe, just kidding, there was no + + + + + + + + + + + + + Telenet packet-switched-induced data + loss.

Since the microprocessors + built into the cards contain + information on the cardholder, there + is no need to access a network to + verify transactions. This makes the + smart card useful in credit card and + calling card applicaions. However, + they are beginning to be applied to + other uses. The National Security + Agency recently signed contracts with + three companies for devices that + utilize smart cards to protect + government computers against hackers. + The devices, called low-cost encryp- + tion/authentication devices (LEAD's) + utilize a smart-card system in which + the microprocessors on the cards + contain a large amount of personal + data on the user, logon sequences + and security data which specifies + the level of access the user has. + The user would logon to the computer + system by inserting the card into a + reader attached to the terminal in use, + then enters his password when the + machine validates his card.

Read on! + + + *********** +* editorial * thoughts from fah-q + *********** + PLANE BOMBS, NERVE GAS PLANTS, JET +FIGHTS..Just a few things in the news +in the past few months. i have been +following them very closely. i don't +know if anyone else has come out and +said it, but i am pretty sure they are +all connected. first we announce that +we are planning to attack a chemical +weapons plant in libya and a plane +carrying american students,american +military, and american tourists is +threatened and (by the way the threat +was not told to the public of the +united states,but was announced on +the foreign short wave broadcasts a +few days before the event) then blown +up. then 2 of our fighters down two +libyan MIGs. were we just on a daily +flight routine or were we there to +see what trouble we could stir up so +that we could take action and not be +the bad guy? seems to me that they +could've attacked right away. If they +were armed (and i'm not saying they +weren't),why did they just follow and +not try to lock on in the airspace off +the libyan coast? now a commercial jet +crashes again in england. could this be +all related? we don't want them to make +chemcal weapons (i see the point in +that), but we and 24 other countries +make them. they attack without warning, +while we tell them days,weeks sometimes +months in advance,so they can move +civilians. our press seems to me to be +making us look like the fools. in their +eyes we can do no right. if we down one +of their fighters, they run us through +the ringer. one of their commercial +jets comes into restricted airspace +and them is warned and signaled 12 +times with out a reply or turning out +of the space,so it is shot down for +security reasons (i think they could +have waited a few more seconds...but +for all intent we were in the right) +we go wild...but let one of their +missles hit one of our military ships +in international waters and sink it. +they say "oh-we-are-sorry-but-we-made- +a-mistake-it-won't-happen-again", +the press thinks that is acceptable. +my stand is this.....(and this is my +personal opinion) stop dealing with +these assholes. they take 1 or 2 +americans and say they will release +them if we set 20 of their guys free? +bullshit...we tell them we will kill +their 20 if they don't let ours go. +they want to bomb one of our planes? +good. go ahead. we bomb one of their +major cities. and the PLO? do they +really think the world is gonna let a +bunch of madmen have a country,who have +stated they would kill anyone they had +to in order to get it? maybe if they +weren't such assholes and sat and +talked to the world and not blow up +planes and act like monkeys for the +world to see they might get somewhere. + fah-q + + + ****************** +! ! +! personal notes ! +! from your buddy! +! Ground Zero ! +------------------ +Greetings. Those of you who +know me are surely aware that the +above opinions do not reflect my own. +I take a different view on terrorism +and the other topics discussed. I +am not in favor of terrorism, nor do +I support or advocate any terrorist +groups in any way. However, I take +the time to understand the causes of +terrorism. This is important, because +in order to deal with terrorism +effectively, we must understand that +it does not exist in a vacuum. Groups +resort to terrorism because they are +powerless. + It's easy for us, as Americans +to sit back and turn on the tube and +say 'What a bunch of crazy ragheads' +when we hear of trouble in the Middle +East. Our own ethnocentrism, combined +with a blind sense of nationalism +prevents us from gaining an under- +standing of the many complex issues +that come into play in the Middle +East. A man like Qaddafi may be a +bit outspoken, and may even appear to +be crazy. Since he's easy to poke fun +at, he has become an easy scapegoat +for the problems that exist today with +terrorists. If you believe that Libya +is deserving of being bombed, then I +would like to point out that there was +no real evidence linking Qaddafi +with any terrorist activities. After +the US bombed Libya in '86, our +gov't later admitted that it had no +evidence that Qaddafi was responsible +for the things he was accused of, +namely the bombing of a West German +discoteque frequented by American +servicemen. But, this admission was +ignored by most in the militaristic +fervor that followed the bombing. + Also, I would like you to +consider your own definition of +"terrorism". It's obvious that there +are many groups that exist whose +activities include terrorism, but +we fail to take notice when our own +government commits acts which could +be also be defined as "terrorism". +The bombing of Libya in '86 included +destruction of civilian targets, such +as a hospital for the handicapped. +Also, our government's support of the +contras in Nicaragua - a band of +mercenaries who regularly attack +civilians in a brutal manner - +certainly constitutes terrorism in my +opinion. And the CIA even provided +them with instruction manuals +encouraging VERY questionable prac- +tices. Please remember these facts, +and keep an open mind. + + + And..now for something completely +different that I feel compelled to +bring to your attention. A fellow +activist friend of mine subscribes to +quite a few political magazines, +leaving him on the mailing lists of +many organizations soliciting money. +One such organization called the +Government Accountability Project sent +him some very interesting information +which he thought I should share with +you folks. The following is an +exerpt from their literature: + + The chicken you buy was most +probably plucked and cleaned in an +automated processing plant. So-called +"protective" government agencies are +permitting gross and shocking laxity +in the treatment, handling and inspec- +tion of chickens in these plants. +Because of this, more people could die +during the next two decades from the +filth, excrement and toxins in chickens +than died in Vietnam. + Machines that mechanically pick +the feathers, remove the entrails and +wash the chickens with high pressure +water have increased profits but have +also increased the amount of invisible +fecal contamination. Because of this +40% of the chickens on the market are +contaminated with salmonella strains +100 times more dangerous and resistant +than before. + Inspectors are being forced to +speed up so that they now have less +than two seconds to look at each +chicken. Under what is called "the new +streamlined inspection system", they +are not allowed to look at the back, +bottom, sides or insides (where DO +they look at?? -GZ), where the +contamination usually exists. + The final washing of chickens is +done in a vat of seldom-changed water +which is rarely kept at the right +temperature and is so laden with dirt +and waste matter that it is virtually +"fecal soup!" + Salmonella is bacteria. It can be +killed by thoroughly cooking the +chicken. However, a real danger is +passing the Salmonella on to other +foods through use of the same knife, +cutting board or your own hands. That's +why we suggest the following tips: + + 1-Keep poultry and meat isolated. For +example, rewrap chicken and place it +in your refrigerator, making sure that +the chicken does not touch other food. + 2-Wash chicken thoroughly and remove +all skin. + 3-Wash all utensils that the chicken +has been cut with, or has been sitting +in. Do not use a wooden cutting board +(because it is pourous). + 4-Wash your hands well after prepar- +ing the poultry, espacially before you +go on to cook the rest of the meal. + 5-Rinse sink and utensils with a +bleach and water mixture. + 6-Cook chicken thoroughly. Do not eat +rare meat or poultry. + + + I hope you find the above info +useful. I did not provide it to groce +you out. I included it in this ATI +in hopes that it might prevent a few +cases of food poisoning. And I would +also like to mention that the above +information was discussed on the March +29, 1988 version of the CBS show "60 +Minutes", and has led to 5 hearings +in Congress last spring. Let's hope +that better conditions are eminent. + And now for the rest of ATI.... + + +mediaWATCHmediaWATCHmediaWATCHmediaWATC +aWATCHmediaWATCHmediaWATCHmediaWATCHmed +diaWATCHmed Media Watch! iaWATCHmedia +aWATCHmediaWATCHmediaWATCHmediaWATCHmed + + Speaking of the CBS network,here's +a transcript of a news segment showm a +few months ago that you might enjoy: + + Transcript of CBS News segment on the Hackers Conference + filmed 7 Oct 88, aired 8 Oct 88. + +Anchorman ("High Technology" logo and drawing of chip): An unusual +conference is under way near San Francisco. The people attending it +are experts on a technology that intimidates most of us, but has changed +the way we live. John Blackstone reports. + +Narrator (trees and outdoor scenes at conference): A small revolutionary +army is meeting in the hills above California's Silicon Valley this +weekend, plotting their next attacks on the valley below, the heart +of the nation's computer industry. They call themselves computer hackers. + +Jonathan Post: "The people who are gathered here changed the world +once; if we can agree on where to go next, we're gonna change it again." + +Narr (conference scenes, blinking lights): What hackers have learned +to do with computers has changed the world, for both good and bad. +They're the people who dreamed of and built the personal computer industry. +Because for a computer, the only difference between a hundred and a +million is a few zeros. + +Donn Parker, (SRI International, in office): "And so, in fact, criminals +today I think have a new problem to deal with: and that is how much +should I take. They can take any amount they want." + +Narr (phone central office): Telephone companies are the most victimized +because those who break into phone company computers can link up for +free to computers around the world. + +Richard Fitzmaurice (Pacific Bell, in office): "You'll hear the term +computer hacker, computer cracker; we call them computer criminals." + +Narr (blinking lights): But much more frightening are the hackers +who crack American military computers. Earlier this year in a lab that +does some classified research, astronomer Clifford Stoll discovered +someone had broken into his computer. He says it was like finding a +mouse running across the floor. + +Stoll (in office): "You watch and you see, he's going in that hole +over there, and you say, ooh, he's going in that hole; that connects +to a network that goes to a military computer, in Okinawa." + +Narr (Stoll playing with a yo-yo in a machine room): The breakins +to American military computers went on for several months. Eventually +Stoll traced them to a hacker in West Germany. + +Donn (in office): "A hacker today is an extremely potentially dangerous +person. He can do almost anything he wants to do in your computer." + +Narr (at conference, video games, stabbing and fighting on screen): But at +the hackers' camp in the hills, there's recognition that in any +revolutionary army there will be a few rogues and criminals. But that's no +reason, they say, to slow down the revolution. + +John Blackstone, CBS News, in the hills above Silicon Valley.'' + + ...And now, a review of the ABC +show "Beach Party Vietnam",oops..I mean +"China Beach": + The show begins with a doctor +talking philosophically into his tape +recorder about sex. Then, we cut to +a scene of some of the show's women +lying down in partially open robes, in +quarters surrounded by amenities such +as rugs, makeup and hairdressing +equipment. 'Doc' then plays golf in +preppy-style golf clothes, while a +female major in her middle years is +plauged with the earth-shattering +problem of onsetting menopause. + While one of our women prances +around their quarters in 80's-style +cutoff shorts and tank top, another +complains of a lost investment +opportunity: tourism in the Vietnamese +coastal area (Ah, capitalism's finest!) + The women, including the major +lounge by the poolside with a blender +of mixed drinks, discussing their +common woe, while a cigar-toting Col. +parachutes into the scene. He looks at +the women confidentally and blares out +a self-absorbed line about owning the +world while the women swoon. + In the next scene, the women all +stand admiring him lifting weights, +and the Col. later has individual +meetings with all three of them. He +knows no shame, using the same line +on each of them: "You have a sense of +mystery about you. I think we have +potential". + The base sponsors a luau, in which +the women adorn themselves in Hawaian +style dress. A wounded soldier with +delusions of being Chuck Berry and a +Black female nurse perform a few +numbers onstage at the luau, then we +cut to a scene of the Col. and our +reluctantly aging major in bed, mixed +with images of a base dweller surfing +on the nearby beach. + Makes you just want to go out and +enlist to go fight wars as pleasant +as this, does it not? That's the idea. +In "Club Med:Saigon", oops, I mean, +"China Beach", the glorification +of militarism takes a very hedonistic +twist! + + And now a word on Drew Barrymore. +She was in films like "E.T." and +"Firestarter". And now she's in the +focal point of the media due to her +drug and alcohol problem. I read the +article in People magazine which +described her problem in her own words, +and frankly, I was appalled that even +a magazine like People could allow such +conceit and misdirected thoughts in +their pages. In the article, she +refers to several people, including her +own mother, as "asshole", and is very +self-involved in her story. People +magazine, in this issue just glorifies +the ramblings of a 13 year-old brat, +spoiled by fame, and non-repentant of +her wrongdoings. + + + Consider these advertisements for +TV shows: + "She was young, attractive....and +MARRIED. (Saxaphones blaring in back- +ground.) During a separation from her +husband, she had a brief affair. When +she finally went back to her husband, +she discovered that her lover filmed +dozens of home movies of their +lovemaking. And this time, THE WHOLE +TOWN WAS WATCHING. (Music speeds up). +Tonight on 'A Current Affair', we +talk to the young lady trying to get +the pieces of her life back together. +It's an X-rated tale of seduction and +betrayal, on 'A Current Affair'." + (woman's voice) "..And I asked +him, HOW can you preach against these +things when you do them yourself? And +he told me, 'I am preaching to myself +as well as the others'". (announcer) "A small-town preacher in Texas +preaches piety on the pulpit, while +PREYING on several of the women of his +congregation" (another woman's +voice, with deep Southern accent) +"My body just froze when he touched +me..." (advertisement for NBC show +"Inside Edition") + Why the hype? Seems like the +sensationalistic, souped-up yellow +journalism genre has made its way to +TV programs. These type of programs +just demonstrate the fact that TV +has completed its journey......into +the gutter. + + +******************************* +* more notes from ground zero * +******************************* + + Ok, folks, first off, you might +have noticed that the ATI mailbox +is gone.

How +was he caught? He would crash a system +and then proudly sign off with the +words, "You've just been stung by +The Wasp". It's my opinion that with +the networking that exists between +telco security, law enforcement, and +informants, it wasn't hard at all to +locate and monitor Mr. Wasp. + Nice going, guy! + More news: Thomas Covenant, an +East coast hacker,was busted last +week, on January 14th.

More on this in future +issues..) Also, I am putting up a BBS +in the next few days. As soon as I +get the software working properly, the +board will be up. Call 201-748-4005, +and if it isn't up when you call, try +again in a day or so. But it should be +up by the time you are reading this. + +Also, note this: Tales Gallery's board +is back up.

To protect the +"innocent", we've edited out names. +hopefully we'll have more of these +chats for your viewing pleasure. +Read on! + +ok.. written down... So anyway, need any new members in your group???? + +Uh, well, knowledgeable ones. I'm not +trying to be a jerk, but you have a lot +to learn. + +no prob ... I'll translate that: "Yes, +but not you!!!!!!!!!!!" heh! :) .. I +kinda figured that ... Owell, it was +worth a shot.. heh! + +uh, you keep interrupitn me when I am +typing! pls stop. anyway, as I was +going to say, we are also looking for +people who are not only knowldegable, +but who have the same ideology as us, +and I do vbelieve that it might be +difficult. me abnd XXXXX are very +similar in a lot of ways, we think +very much alike.. + + + owell .. :( .. So.. you have NOTHING +other than your discovery??!?! (I had +an amazing discovery not 2 long ago 2. + it lasted for a good 3 - 4 months .. +I gave it to XXXX and a local friend +of mine.. no probs.. But when XXXXXXX + got it, THAT WAS MISTAKE #1 ... He +gave it out too too many people, and +NOBODY but me was allowed 2 give it +out .. And I WAS PISSED TO HELL.. but +hey, 3 months on an alliance, and +worldwide supporting accidental +discovery ain't bad .. + + +uh huh, and what was this "discovery"? + +It was some military base kind of +thing.. their phone system.. it had +extensions and wierd shit.. kind of an +exotic PBX ... It had uh.. 6570 - 6579, +6581 - 6589, 6591 - 6594 were possible +last 4 digit phone #'s of the 800 # .. +when calling the # (which all of 'em +are now disconnected :( ), dialing 20 +would give an AT&T dialtone that could +reach out and touch the world .. Then +after they finally caught on to that +(after 2.5 months), I noticed that 9 +would also give a 2nd dialtone .. if I +tried 2 dial a 1 + # .. it would give +3 fast dialtones and another normal +dialtone 2 enter a 5 digit code.. but +these people were stupid .. if +i called up, dialed 9, and then instead +of 1 + ac + ph, but instead 0 + ac + +ph, 2 things would happen: + +A. I could enter an AT&T calling card +B. Just dial 0, bullshit operator that +my phone is broken and she would dial + the phone # for me! I used that method pletny! +So did a few friends of mine! +AND .... Most hilarious of all.. when +dialing the 9 for the dialtone, it +could be used as an extender, or it +could reach ALLIANCE without any code +BS!!! Dialing 0-700-456-1000 wouldn't +get you an AT&T calling card tone OR +the operator, so soooo many conferences +were made off of that trick WE really +did damage to that company phonebill +wise.. But we weren't trying to +purposely do that, we just wanted +conferences ... So I gotta admit, +screwing around with 800 #'s and +KOOK's handle from ddial got me 3 +months of heaven!! Now you may type: + +how does kook come into play here? + +The 800 # had his name in it .. I was +just looking at the ddial, and on my +other line I was dialing #'s with +people's handles.. I was trying for +1-800-456 .. And 56 is KO .. The OK +for KOOK is 65 .. and then I just hit +77 for some unknown reason .. I heard +a dialtone .. And within 10 mins, I +hacked out 21 + 9 for an +outside dialtone .. it wasn't a great +quality tone .. only a few days later +did I realize 20 w/o a 9 after it gave +a clean AT&T line that was almost as +clear as US SPRINT + + +i see. you dialed 1-800-456-XXXX from +ur house? + + +Yeah.. Sometimes thru an extender .. +But I'm not worried.. this was a dumb- +fuck company .. I know it's MCI .. + +I thought you said that it was owned +by the military? + +It was some military installation shit. + not the army .. just some office or +some crap.. no big deal.. A really +stupid company .. if they can't figure +out in their phone system that I can +reach alliance, the most expensive +form of calling I make without the +help of the operator or w/o a calling +card, THEY ARE DUMB .. It's too serious +to be careless.. Trust me, they were a +lame company .. + +i see..ah well.. + +so how much GREATER is your discovery +in magnitude? (Mine was pure LUCK) + +i am not into head trips. it doesn't +matter, what matters is that it works +and is very simple. I discovered +another thing that every 15 yr old +would *kill* to have..actually, +*everyone* would kill to have this +other discovery. the 2nd discovery is +ten times better + + +Can you tell me ONE of the discovery's? + I told u mine ... Exactly what I knew +on the system ... Oh.. the system had +one more thing I forgot to mention.. +When calling the 800 # and hearing the +initial dial tone, dialing 199 would +give a SPRINT like TONE .. or an MCI +tone, whatever.. I couldn't figure out +how many cdigits the codes were + +if I told you, everyone would be beggin + me for it. i would never have any +peace! + +Well, the only way I can answer that +is "I won't tell ANYBODY AT ALL that I +even have this discovery" .. And if +people somehow manage to find that +much out (which they WON'T cause I +WON'T TELL), I'll never EVER EVER +mention your name .. EVER + +sorry this is my favorite toy. im not +done playing wiyth it yet. when i get +b0red with it i will give it to you. + +Ok.. How 'bout the 2nd discovery? (and +for either or both, can you just answer +me if they are on 800 #'s?) + +the 2nd one is my toy. the 1st one, I +need.. + +ok.. but are they on 800 #'s?? + +one is, one is not + +hmm.. the 2nd one is NOT I take it.. +from the way you make it sound.. it +sounds like you figured out a back door +in a local 950 or something .. + +perhap, but perhaps not.. + +well.. no biggie.. I'll wait 4 ya 2 get bored .. heh! :) + +hehe. so do you have a new c0de line +up? + +Not yet.. haven't checked if my other 2 +boxes still work .. + +Hmm. hang on a sec. + +Both boxes still work ... so I can put +up another codeline at will .. but all +the lamer f*cks who call it don't +leave codes, so what's the point? + +i wil get u some stuff to start it and +give the # to /<-rad people + +the last time you did that, I had tons +of stuff from you on my line.. what +happened?? People said "Hey, thanx a +lot for the codes! But I don't have +anything now, but I'll get stuff soon +and post it".. a week goes by, 2 weeks + a month, a year, a decade .. NO CODES +from these lamers.. They're just me, +er uh LEECHES ... + + +uh, u interrrupted me again,. that's +annoying, but anyway, i will give the +# to cool people this time. + +sorry for interrupting u.. thought u +were done this time ... Well, I won't +let it out on ddial then if you can +get REAL people 2 call ... + + +ok, what's the #? + +I'll set it up..should I used box 3308 +or 3517? + +3308.. + +ok.. 3308 it is then.. + +ok, what is the dialup? + +1-800-877-8896 + +ok, got it. hey I gotta split now, +(tired l00k) + +ok... no prob.. I'm setting up my +codeline at this moment .. a codeless +codeline .. heh! :) + +will post some stuff later.. + +Ok ... No prob.. and thanx in advance +for the stuff u'll post .. heh! + +ok! take care.. + +u too.. bye bye + +bye! +======================================= + +And here's a bit of info you might find +useful, contributed by my good buddy +THE SNETSMEISTER (203): + + FRIENDLY INWARDS ???? + + Operators can be friendly, if you +say the right words. Dial 0 on a non- +coin fone and say "Hello,this is HOBIC, +would you please connect me to Rate and +Route ?" Rate and Route is an inward +operator for the 716 area code. The +TSPS operator will dial KP716121 no +ama(no charge) and release the call +from his or her console. you can then +ask the operator to dial any number in +the 716 area code and she will think +that you are an operator and you will +take care of the billing. You have just +made a free call to any 716-XXX-XXXX. +REMEMBER TO SOUND LIKE AN OPERATOR, +SAY ASSISTANCE IN DIALING 716-XXX-XXXX +ON A NO RING. AS SOON AS THE FONE IS +RINGING, SHE WILL RELEASE THE CALL +FROM HER CONSOLE AND AS FAR AS THE +OPERATORS ARE CONCERNED, SOMEONE IS +PAYING FOR THE CALL. + + SNETSMEISTER + + + +(But what if you don't know anyone in +716? Hehehe... -GZ) + +$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ + *college-type stuff* + + + I was walking about my campus +one morning when a rather disquieting +sight greeted me: An advertisement +from a fraternity seeking pledges +called TKE displaying a 6 ft tall +smiling blonde woman in a very scant +bikini. The text of the ad read: +"Tau Kappa Epsilon" at the top of the +page, and the words "Consider the +Possibilities" were printed next to the +picture of the woman. How blatantly +sexist. Naturally, I tore down +the ad, and patrolled the campus in 20 +degree weather and tore down any other +copies of the ad I saw. I even saw +another girl tearing down one of the +offending ads, and another female +student wrote a letter to the editor of +the campus newspaper protesting the +ads before I got a chance to. +Also, the director of the Women's +Center wrote a letter stating, "The +offering of a disrobing woman by a +fraternity to its pledges suggest many +possiblities that could involve actions +that women find unwelcome.....In a +social climate that allows people to +tolerate, even accept, violence against +women, it is not only offensive but +also potentially dangerous to women +to present them as objects to be used +by the men who join a particular +organization". + Right on, ladies! + Another interesting development: +A new organization has popped up on +my campus. A "New Age" club. Jeez. +It calls itself "The Amethyst Unicorn". +How catchy. A poster advertising the +club lists subjects it deals with: +mysticism, herbalism, crystals, and +even the topic of nuclear disarmament +was listed along with the other +hairbrained items. I wonder.. Would +they use crystals to achieve nuclear +disarmament? Yeah, that's the ticket. + This reminds me of a line from +a British movie I saw called "Sammy +and Rose Get Laid". Sammy and Rose were +a married couple with a circle of +radical/gay/just-plain-weird friends. +When Sammy's father (who was from +India) visits, a flaky, shallow female +friend of Sammy's asked his father +if he meditates. The old man sighed +and just said, "The world is like a +cultural department store to you +people. You just aimlessly travel to +each floor, taking something from each +floor to satisfy your egos". Sounds +like that this "New Age" junk is all +about. Just totally phony to me. + But hey.. I'd better not rile +these "New Agers" up too badly. Maybe +they'll cast a spell on me (*gasp*).. + +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + + * News From the Front.. * + + The Enforcer (502) was busted +along with 2 other teenagers local +to him. The three were busted for +making a total of over $40,000 worth +of fraudulent calls using a local TMC +dialup. The local telco had a trace +of incoming calls to the dialup, and +the outgoing calls on the service were +recorded with a pen register. FBI +agents visited homes of the three and +confiscated all their computer equip- +ment, disks and notebooks. + The local TV stations in +Kentucky had a ball reporting this +development, as this was the first of +its kind in that area. In their +report of the story, they showed note- +books belonging to the three, as well +as some of their disks. The camera +made an emphasis on a disk belonging to +The Enforcer labeled "Fast Hack'Em", +making the viewers think that it was +some diabolical program used for +hacking. Fast Hack'Em is merely a file +copy program for the Commodore! Also, +that TV station is in a lot of trouble, +as one of the notebooks they shown had +the real name of one of the three +teenagers. This is illegal, for all +three are minors, and their real names +are not supposed to be released by +the media. Parents of the teen in +question are considering a lawsuit. + Skyy King (317) was busted +recently, the main charge against him +being credit card fraud. He used +credit cards to set up a Phone Base +account, for which MCI is pressing +charges. He is also being charged with +toll fraud. + Bill The Cat (317) was busted +for hacking codes on the recently- +abused Rockwell International PBX +(800-247-1028), and also for hacking +codes on his local MCI radius. + The Arizona Kid (602) and Joe +Friday (918) were busted for toll +fraud as well. The Arizona Kid was +caught using a variety of LD services +including SouthernNet and Sun,and +faces up to 7 1/2 years of prison. + A lot of busts out there. Keep +your noses clean. They're out for +blood. + And here's an interesting thing: +I received a mailing from AT&T asking +me to select their long distance 1+ +service, saying that after 60 days +they would reimburse me for the cost +that NJ Bell would charge me for a +PIC change. And I noticed an inter- +esting thing: My name and address was +formatted on their mailing exactly +the same way it appears on my NJ Bell +telephone bill when I get it. Also, +my telephone number appeared on the +mailing as 201 748 4005 with a 3-digit +code (called the "customer code", used +by NJ Bell only for records) next to +it, also identical to the way it +appears on my phone bill. I wonder +why NJ Bell is providing AT&T with +this information? I thought it was +illegal for them to favor one LD +carrier in its marketing like that. If +it's not illegal, it's at the very +least unethical. +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + +Well, well, well. We still have a lot +more stuff for you, but we decided +to release it in the next ATI, as we +don't want to make this one TOO long. + +So look for ATI35 in a few days. It +will have my article on Doc +Telecom's and Raider's time in prison, +plus a few other surprises that I'm +sure you'll enjoy.

The following was taken from a flyer advertising a +feminist rally to oppose pro-lifers: + The Link Between Forced Reproduction and Forced Sterilization! + Speaker: Elizabeth Thacker from the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade +I won't bother with the rest; it was a paranoid ramble about how white males +were opposing abortion to force women into being sterilized as the only means +of birth control. I could give more examples, like a press statement from the +NAACP regarding a recent civil rights decion by the federal government + The New Age movement is no worse than any other mass movement; in fact, by +your standards they should be the best. Don't they show concern for the +environment, the arms race, and poverty, and believe in Universal Love and +all the other things your average 60's-leftover leftist advocates but has +enough sense not to follow. + +Regarding the Tau Kappa Et advocates but has +enough sense not to follow. + +Regarding the Tau Kappa Epsilon poster: was it any more frightening than the +self-righteous censorship practiced by yourself and the other campus +feminists? + +Question yourself as well as others + + +-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- + +GZ's reply: I do question myself,quite +often, in fact. You brought up a good +point about NJ Bell, which I can agree +with. However, your refernce to the +"low rent/low-iq" part of town shows +an obvious bias against the poor. And +I am all too familiar with the +Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade, +which often takes extreme stances on +issues, but I must say that there truly +have been many instances in which the +poor have undergone forced steriliz- +ation. And you cannot deny the fact +that regular means of birth control are +not readily accessible by poor women. +If these methods were available to poor +women in the first place, there would +be little need for abortions or ster- +ilization. And as far as censorship of +the TKE posters, I believe that I have +the right to remove materials that are +both extremely offensive and, more +importantly, dangerous to women. + +-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- + +From: The Worm Location: 203 + +I enjoy reading ATI very much.

Maybe you'll learn something.. + + ?"Striving for Unix Security" ? + ? Typed in by Nightcrawler for Activist Times, Inc. ? + ? Originally presented in Computerworld -- March 20, 1989 ? + + Last November's well-publicized worm attack struck more than Internet's +Unix-based electronic mail system. The operating system and AT & T, its +major developer, are also suffering from the impact. Other potential +victims may be corporations and governments that have accepted Unix for +its functionality and portability. + Unix has a reputation for being insecure. But is it inherently insecure? +The question has enormous economic, political and techonological sensitivity +but it and others must be answered. + The facts are that Unix's security depends on the version of the operating +system being used, what the systems administrator has established as controls +and what pressures for security improvements develop from the government +corporations and even AT & T. + What are the security problems associated with using the Unix operating +system? How can IS best safeguard information running on Unix-based systems? +What specific approaches to improving the security of Unix systems will be +effective? + + "Unix popularity" + Secure or not, there is no doubt that Unix is popular. The results of a +recent survey of Unix users indicate that the reasons for Unix's growing +popularity among users range from its portability and cost-effectiveness to +its proven success in other organizations. Certain companies have little +choice in whether to select Unix, because the software programs best suited +for their needs are often Unix-based. + According to the survey, the biggest barrier to increasing Unix usage is +the lack of trained technical expertise, the lack of compatibility and the +lack of application software. Framingham, Mass.-based market research firm +International Data Corp. has cited the lack of proven commercial and +application software performance and the standards confusion as also working +against Unix. + Interestingly, security was not mentioned once in the survey results, even +though the questions were asked in December, during the height of the publi- +city surrounding the Internet virus attack. Yet security obviously should +be a concern to the more than two-thirds of the respondents who indicated +that they were using communications links between Unix and non-Unix systems +for file transfer, terminal emulation, Transmission Control Protocol/ +Internet Protocol, and E-mail. + Unix's popularity is partly because of the variety of Unix-based products +out today. But because of the independent development work that has been +done on Unix, the user is often faced with the fact that one Unix product is +not always the same as another. In reality, there are a number of Unix +versions that share only certain features and security vulnerabilities. + Unix's ready availability and portability have caused it to be the +operating system of choice for both academicians and new companies develo- +ping computer systems. Vendors that use it as the operating system for a +hardware platform tailor Unix to suit their own needs. Usually this +tailoring occurs inside the kernel. + + "What is Unix, really?" + Unix is composed of a set of tools and applications that run on top of a +base, or kernel, that handles the low-level functions. The tailoring inside +the kernel would not be readily visible to users even though it may be +extensive. + For example, Unix is notorious for having a file system that is hard to +repair and maintain. Thus, some vendors completely rewrite the file system +internals in hope of improving their market edge and the stability of their +system. While that vendor's system may be better, the result is that Unix +often becomes a label on a set of services that appear to be the same to +the user but are in fact very different inside. + The University of California at Berkeley has become the center for much +of the academic development that is now the basis for one of the two major +versions of Unix available in the market -- Unix Version 4.2. AT & T's +Unix System V, whose latest release -- Version 3.2, available since last +fall -- contains major improvements in security. + The Berkeley and AT & T versions are similar in some ways, but they are +different enough to cause confusion. While many of the basic tool kits +are the same, there are enough significant differences to warrant a parti- +tioning of the market. Some vendors have chosen System V, and others have +chosen 4.2. Not all of the applications running on one system run on the +other. + The industry has recognized these problems and has, for this and other +reasons, tried to organize a "standard" Unix. There are competing organi- +zations trying to create the standard Unix, including the Open Software +Foundation (OSF), Unix International, Inc., the Institute of Electrical and +Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in association with the National Institute of +Standards and Technolog (NIST) and X/Open Consortium Ltd. The hope is that +standardization will help make the operating system more consistent and thus +more secure. + As the standardization and security certification efforts heighten, more +and more inspection of the development process and the structure of the +actual code will be required. So far, the lack of development controls has +created a potential for undesirable code to reside within the system and to +be difficult to find. + But these weaknesses may also portend Unix's greatest strength: The +operating system's very openness and the scrutiny devoted to it will make +it difficult for the bugs to remain in place forever. Since no single +vendor has control over Unix, no single vendor can control or cover up the +problems. Over the next few years, most of the unknowns in Unix hopefully +will be understood and repaired. + + "Unix insecurity" + The fact remains that Unix does have many sceurity vulnerabilities that +are well known to computer and network managers. These weaknesses are also +well known to hackers, computer hobbyists and others who may be interested +in testing their technological skills. They have easy access to published +articles, Unix documentation and bulletin-board information sources on +back doors into Unix. + The Unix security problem is composed of Unix-specific and non-Unix- +specific elements. Unix-specific sceurity risks are those inherent in the +architecture of th eoperating system and therefore are not likely to +disappear from most existing Unix systems in the near future. Included in +this classification are the "superuser" user category, which provides +universal access, and the "setuid" and "setgid" system calls. + Non-Unix-specific security risks are those associated with the normal +usage of computer systems and software. On a Unix system, these can lead +to great damage because of how Unix functions. Included in this category +are the risks in having software conatin back doors or Trojan horses as +well as unsecured physical locations where networks, computer rooms, +terminals, tapes and disks can be accessed by unauthorized persons. + + "Unix-specific issues" + The inherent operating qualities of Unix create a vulnerability that opens +the doors to some security attacks. For the Unix-proficient, these struc- +tures can be summarized in the superuser, setuid and setgid functions. A +user who becomes a superuser is able to remove all the security barriers that +exist within Unix. Thus, one problem deals with keeping unauthorized users +from becoming superusers. This problem is common to a variety of Unix +systems and has a rather standard set of administrative solutions. + Many of the tools and utilities in Unix need to change modes into +superuser for a brief period of time in order to reach some service that +the system calls. When properly executed, these place the program executing +them into superuser status. In most cases, such programs are well debugged +and there is little risk of decreasing the stability of the system. However, +teh existence of a mechanism that allows the garnting of unlimited privileges +to some programs can be easily exploited. The xeploitation can occur through +poor design or through maliciousness. There are many documented cases of +poorlydebugged and/or maliciously designed programs being run in this mode +and creating inadvertent or intentional damage. + In one case, an administrator wrote a program that, among other things, +allowed users store information in certain privileged directories. The +program used a file, itself in a privileged directory, to control the +directories that were to be written into. Unfortunatley, the file contained +an entry for its own directory. A user saw this and rewrote the entire file, +giving himslef the ability to write into any directory in the system. Were +he malicious, he could easily have placed viruses, Trojan horses, back doors, +or other programs in any system or user directory. + Thus, any program capable of reaching superuser status needs to be care- +fully managed and certified. In an environment that is open and free, what +often happens instead is that software can be passed from one machine to +another without proper certification. In one experiment, a researcher gave +one such maliciously designed program to a nonprivileged Unix installation +user and observed its migration to the status of a privileged program within +a few days. + Software travels quickly, and seemingly useful software travels even more +quickly. Thus, while the mechanism within Unix can be safeguarded, it is +more difficult to ensure that the people around Unix will act with the +proper caution. + + "Non-Unix-specific issues" + This scenario leads to the non-Unix-realted aspects of security. There +are two popular methods for attacking a computer system -- a Trojan horse +and a back door. These two types of attacks are used in many types of +systems, not just Unix systems. A Trojan horse is a program that contains +code whose instruction is to do some kind of damage. + For all practical purposes, the program provides some useful service. +However, it also contains logic that will do something other than what the +program was intended to do. These Trojan hore programs have caused a +variety of damage, ranging from corrupting files to surreptiously sending +files across a network to someone who otherwise would not have access to +the transferred data. + A back door is similar to a Trojan horse except that it is a piece of code +that is left behind to be triggered by an outside agent. The person who +inserted the back door activates the code. Once activated, it responds to +the commands of the intruder. The Internet virus in the Unix E-mail system +allegedly came in through such a back door. + In Unix, these and similar attacks pose special dangers because, by +judicious manipulation, the attacker can become a superuser and gain access +to anything in the machine. These unsophisticated computer attacks can be +very effective in Unix, more so than in some other systems. + + "Other openings" + In addition to ecternally produced Trojan horses and back doors, two +mechanisms within Unix are important to security. When users enter a command +in Unix, the system searches for the program named by that command along a +search list of names defined by the variable "PATH." If this search list is +altered in some fashion, everyday users can be invoking Trojan horse programs +that are disguised to look like standard programs. In general, PATH is set +up to search through a standard set of drirectories for the program. If PATH +is altered to search through a directory that has not been allocated privi- +leged status and does not belong to the user typing commands, then any +program placed in that directory could be chosen before the standard program. +Thus, one alteration to PATH can lead to an endless set of bogus programs. + A security audit product currently on the market uses such a technique to +determine if the security of the system has been breached. The security audit +program masquerades as the common utility "ls." When "ls" is invoked, a +security audit is done in addition to the normal work "ls" usually performs. +While this use of the mechanism is for security reasons, other uses may not +be for that purpose. Ensuring that PATH is not altered can control accidental +triggering of malicious programs. + The sceond major security concern found within Unix is the connection of +the system to the network. Unix systems, by and large, tend to be connected +to networks. Hiwever, besides their valuable use as user and data +connectors, networks can also be thought of as vehicles for bringing in +uncertified software and sending out private data. + Unix has many tools that will alow it to become part of the growing commu- +nity of newtwork users within the industry. The Unix-to-Unix Copy Program +is one such mechanism that allows the system to send and receive mail and +script files from users on other systems. + In addition, network file systems represent another threat by requiring +users to reach across the network for their file systems. This intimate +link between users and their file systems can potentially be more easily +intercepted than when this communication takes place within a single internal +system. The network in effect puts the Unix system out in the open, where it +may be more vulnerable to access attempts. + Network connectivity also creates a need for adequate physical security. +Many precautions must be taken to provide enough security for a Unix system +just as for any other system. While Unix's physical sceurity requierments +are no different from any other system, the availability of ways to connect +to other systems over the network, local or worldwide, makes physical +security harder to achieve than with other systems of lesser capability. + + "Securing Unix" + While it may appear that Unix users are without protection, that is not +the case at all. While Unix is not as strong as many in information +security would like, newer versions of Unix have improved security, and +additional tools are available to make Unix more secure. There are also +future developments that will increase the ease of security management. + Systems using Unix can be better protected. Yet, they are only as secure +as their systems administrators allow them to be. The security of any +operating system can be attributed directly to how well that system has been +administratively reviewed and secured. + IS must set up accounts, create passwords, add new software to the systems +and give access rights to various pieces of data. The dynamics of admini- +stering a system dictate ongoing change in the access and relationship of the +various accounts, files and programs. Without careful and deliberate +execution, the best automated mechanisms can be subverted. + Beyond the system administrators, the vendors of systems with known +weaknesses also have responsibilities to pay more attention to system +security. They need to provide information and pass on timely patches to +their customers when holes are discovered in their systems. They will have +to work to increase their systems' security to stem lost sales opportunities +as well as to prevent potential lawsuits, which, even if unsuccessful, can +become public relations nightmares. + While there may not always be enough pressure put on vendors solely by +corporations requiring a secure Unix, the federal government has been quite +active in seeking ways to induce security within the vendor community. Over +the next few years, the government will strengthen the security requirements +of all the systems -- Unix or otherwise -- that it procures, and as +commercial vendors comply with these regulations, these products will become +available to the private sector. Thus, systems purchased in 1992 should, in +all likelihood, have significant security improvements over today's systems. +In any case, the government-vendor cooperatie relationship can be examined in +a number of ways. + The current conflict over standards affects Unix security, and that is +what links the vendor community with the federal government, which holds a +major stake in Unix security. (The government purchased $1.93 billion worth +of Unix systems in 1988, with approximately two-thirds of that eramarked for +the defense agency.) According to recent published reports, US Department of +Defense officials are so concerned about the security aspects of both AT & +T's System V and OSF's Unix offering that they may try to force the two +groups together to come up with an acceptable operating system. + Recently, in response to the latest outbreak of computer viruses, the +Defense Department formed the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT). CERT +is a group of experts who will be available to fly to federal sites around +nation to assist in fighting viruses. Last December, /Usr/Group, the Unix +trade association, applauded the establishment of CERT and suggested that the +computer industry supplement these government efforts by agreeing on standard +procedures for dealing with emergencies such as viruses. The user group +recommended considering the best way to disseminate information when computer +networks are artificially congested through viruses or other exceptional +network problems. + The government also supports Unix security improvements through its +testing procedures. In late 1986, the National Security Agency's National +Computer Security Center studied a prototype secure system derived from +AT & T's Unix System V, Release 2. The study assigned that system with the +B2-level of assurance requirements defined in the Trusted Computer System +Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC). The study concluded that is possible to build +a B2, B3, or A1 system with an interface very much like that of Unix. +However, it also concluded that major problems exist with today's common +Unix implementations. + Fortunately, vendors have started to respond to the government's security +concerns. Several firms have announced secure versions of Unix to help them +capture contracts with organizations such as aerospace companies. The +Department of Defense issued Directive 5200.28 last year, requiring that by +1992 virtually all multiuser computer systems meet at least the C2 level of +the TCSEC. This level provides for need-to-know protection, audit capabi- +lity, and user accountability. Certain vendors have announced that they are +seeking even higher levels of security. AT & T's next release of Unix is +expected to have C2-level security features. + In addition, the Department of Commerce's NIST, which develops standards +for the civilian agencies of the federal government and interfaces with the +private sector, has a Unix security project. Posix is concerned with +security standards efforts associated with IEEE P1003.6, which is an +inetrface-specific standard. The objectives and scope of this effort are to +establish functional interface standards consistent with but not limited by +the TCSEC. Elements of Posix wil include basic security mechanisms, discre- +tionary access controls, auditability mechanisms and nondiscretionary access +controls. + Without a doubt, Unix security will improve over time. How it will +improve and the costs involved in increased security are less certain. +Those decisions await the push of an organized IS community. + IS has a major stake in improving Unix security, but only such that the +security serves other IS needs. If upgrading Unix security interferes with +information flow or complicates network management, it will continue to +receive insuffiecient attention. A balance between production and protec- +tion will have to be addressed. + IS managers have an absolute right to impress upon vendors their interest +in security improvements within certain rpoduct lines. IS can also make it +quite clear to the Unix standards groups that these organizations must agree +on security as a priority area, aside from their other disagreements +concerning standards. + Finally, IS can advise and work with the government to define the security +needs of the private sector. Firms should get into both the definition and +decision loops at this time or be prepared to stand around and complain after +some very essential decisions have been made. By that time, it may be too +late to do very much. + The Internet virus attack brought Unix security problems out into the +open. Ironically, the attack took place while major efforts were already +under way to improve the security of this operating system. Eventually, +secure Unix may no longer be a contradiction in terms. + +============================================================================ + + +Did you like it? I hope so.

First off, we +have Mad Pirate (201): + * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * + + Well, Here I am in my first real +excursion into writing for a large +group of people. Here it goes. + +I have a few really good Ideas on how +to get revenge on people...By thrashing +the insides of their motorized vehicle +engines... Here they are: + +Car Engines + +To really screw somebody's day up, +you first get your hands on some nice +steel filings. (The bigger the chunks +The faster it wreaks its damage) I +find that steel works better. You +then pour the filings (about a cup +or so) into a container large enough +so that you can add roughly a quart +of oil.

When the engine is running, +it will evaporate the water. The sugar +will then solidify,and burn because +the heat of the engine will cook it, +causing an ugly mess of carbon and goo +to form inside the cylander. Needless +to say,the person will not be very +happy about this as the engine will +no longer continue to run. + +If you have time to spare,you can drain +the gas which contains oil which lubri- +cates the piston while the engine is +running, and replace it with oil free +gasoline. The next time the person +attempts to ride,his engine will seize. + + +Well,that's all I can think of for now. + +And remember...Revenge is a dish that + is best served cold. + + ---------------- + -The-Mad-Pirate- + ---------------- +(If you need to get in touch with me, +to offer advice,suggestios on what to +write next,or whatever, call Red Phone +BBS and leave me E-Mail.

Happi Hacking!) ++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + ---> Music Department <--- + + After I took over producing ATI, I +noticed that we have been lacking in +the musical commentary that used to be +ever present in older ATI issues. So... +I decided to say a few words about pop +music, more specifically, Madonna's new +song. And where Madonna is concerned, +the term "music" is of course used +very loosely (Pun intended!). + +"When you call my name +It's like a little prayer +I'm down on my knees +I wanna take you there" + + NICE lyrics! Yeah, that's what we +can expect from Madonna. But her new +song and video, "Like A Prayer" tells +us things about Madonna we didn't know. + We know that carries herself like +a prostitute. We know that she's the +epitome of bad taste. And we know that +she has no talent nor class whatsoever. +But what we didn't know that she would +show disrespect for the church as she +did in her video. Now, I'm not a +religious type, but I find the sight of +Madonna rolling around atop an alter to +be offensive. Not to mention the sight +of her smooching with a religious +statue that comes to life in the video. +Even worse is the sight of holes +opening up in her hands resembling the +way Jesus' hands were torn by his being +nailed to the cross. Is she trying to +liken herself to Christ? I should hope +not. At least not in THAT outfit! + We also didn't know that someone +as apolitical and as uninterested in +social issues would make a vain attempt +to use the issue of racism in her video +to promote her song. In the video, a +young Black man is accused of assault- +ing a white woman after 3 white men had +actually comitted the crime. Madonna +then skips into jail flipping her hair, +and has him released. And we wonder, as +Madonna sings out of key standing in +front of 5 burning crosses, why she's +attempting to cash in on this sort of +thing when her superficiality and +insincerity obviously shine through. + We don't know Madonna's motivation +for presenting such offensive trash. +But--what we do know is that Madonna +and her "music" are of little worth +or consequence. Indeed... + + +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + +Some brief news items I decided to +include: + +It seems that a previous issue of ATI +gave some incorrect information. We +stated that Joe Friday (918) was busted +for toll fraud. This was incorrect +because WE were lied to by a friend of +his! It seems that Joe decided to let +out a false rumor of him being busted +deliberately. I asked Joe why he did +this, and his response was "becase I +was getting too many phone calls, and +I figured a bust rumor would scare them +into not calling". Gee Joe, the rest +of the modern world CHANGES THEIR +NUMBER when encountered with that +situation! + + +We here at ATI completely and utterly +disapprove of the intentional spreading +of false rumors, especially false bust +rumors. Since there is more than ample +confusion and panic in the phreaking +community, we feel that false bust +rumors add to the paranoia greatly. I +myself have observed that about 1/3 +of the busts I've heard about were +completely fabricated, usually by the +person who was supposedly "busted"! + +Apparently Joe Friday has run into a +windfall of computer equipment and put +up a "phreak" BBS. We will obtain the +number, call it and give you a full +report in a future ATI! In the +meantime, Joe is invited to provide an +eager audience with his side of the +story. I'll give him the last word. + +And here's an unrelated item: It has +been proposed that the NCIC's online +records become expanded. The NCIC +(National Crime Investigation Center) +is a governmental mainframe that +receives millions of inquiries each day +by over 70,000 agencies. It provides +info on people who have been convicted +of felonies. But it's been proposed +that the NCIC's records include info +on people who are only SUSPECTED of +committing felonies. If this is to come +about, some severe intrusions on +privacy of millions of Americans will +come about. And if you're a political +activist, phone ohreak, etc.. expect +YOUR info to be in the NCIC soon. + +If it's not already there.. + +Also: A 28 year-old investment banker +in NYC was attacked by as many as 12 +youths in Central Park while she was +jogging. She was beaten over the head +with a pipe and other objects and +raped by many assailants. Since then, +she has been in a coma, and after two +weeks is only starting to come out now. +There has been a lot of furor over the +attack. NYC mayor Ed Koch said, "We +will see how the justice system will +perform in this incident..", meaning +that some kind of "example" must be +set. Soon after he said that, eight +Black teens were arrested for the +attack, ranging in age from 14 to 17. +They have been held without bail and +arraigned, and it has been reported +that they said the attack was "fun" +and showed no remorse. + +Reverend Al Sharpton said that the +teens should be "excused" from the +crime due to their age and the fact +that they grew up in a "bad" environ- +ment. And recently, tycoon Donald +Trump took out full-page ads in all +four major NYC newspapers saying, +"Bring back the death penalty...Bring +back the police!", in huge bold print. +The ad preaches absolute intolerance +for the teens, and has made many +people angry, including myself. What +right does he have to demand the death +penalty for criminals when he is one +himself? And what right does he have to +plaster his opinions everywhere just +because he's rich? What makes his +opinion more important that anyone's? + +Indeed, as Koch said, we WILL see how +the justice system performs in this +case. Should be an interesting show.. + +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + +And now, some more news items of +interest written by Nightcrawler (516): +============================================================================= + Nightcrawler's News from the Net +============================================================================= + +Today's Independent newspaper contains an advert by BMW which provides yet +further evidence of the automative industry's flagrant disregard for the +possible risks associated with new computer-based technology. The main text o +the advert is reprinted below, in its entirety, followed by a brief note of +some of what I regard as the more obvious risks. + + BEFORE A BMW WILL START IT WEIGHS UP WHO'S DRIVING + + First BMW brought you ABS, for safer braking in the wet.

Today, they can unveil DWS: + probably the most significant advance in anti-theft technology to occur in + recent years. + + DWS stands for Driver's Weight Sensor. A unique system that compares the + driver's weight with a pre-programmed value stored in the sensor's computer + memory. If the two values do not match, the car simply refuses to start. + + Clearly, this represents a whole new level of anti-theft sophistication. + But one that has only be made possible thanks to recent advances in space + satellite PHAT technology. This remarkable new material - Poly Halide Anodal + Tritium - exhibits a highly predictable change in electrical conductivity + according to the pressure exerted upon it. By harnessing these properties, + BMW's engineers have devised a wafer-thin pressure pad that, when + incorporated into the driver's seat, can electronically assess the occupant's + weight to within 10 grams accuracy. + + Such is the system's intelligence, it will take account of bodyweight + variations that occur according to the time of day, or even the time of year. + This it achieves by interlocking with the car's on-board 365-day digital + clock. Accurate allowance can then be made for weight increases that may be + expected immediately after meal times, and those that are caused by + multi-layer clothing during the winter months. + +Despite its space age technology, the operation of DWS is simplicity itself. + + On entering the car, the driver inserts the ignition key, at which point the + words ?Code Enter' flash up on the dashboard LED display. Up to five of these + codes can be stored for five different drivers. The driver now enters his + personal code on the key pad and his weight appears on the light-up display, + expressed in either pounds or kilos. (Lady drivers who would prefer this + visible display switched off should consult their BMW dealer, who will carry + out the small necessary adjustment free of charge.) + + The sensor weight reading is then compared to the programmed weight in the + memory, and providing this falls to within +-5%, the car will start normally. + If, however, the figure exceeds these tolerances, then a discreet gong + sounds, and the entire ignition system shuts down. + + Should persistent attempts be made to restart the car, an alarm system is + triggered, and the headlights flash alternately until the unauthorised person + vacates the seat and re-closes the door. + + At the same time a pre-recorded message is transmitted on the standard + police radio frequency, notifying all walkie-talkie equipped police officers + within 350 metres of the car's registration number. + +If you'd like to know whether the Driver's Weight Sensor anti-theft system + can be fitted to your car, contact your local BMW dealer, or post off the + +Some likely risks: + +Just when you have arrived back from a week-end backpacking, and are desperate +to get to MacDonald's before they close, the car is likely to refuse to +recognise you. (The opposite problem is perhaps not so bad - for example, it +would be good for you to be occasionally forced to walk or jog to +WeightWatcher's class.) + +Suppose the car does consent to take you to MacDonald's, the weight display, +which I assume is dynamically updated, will be an additional and dangerous +distraction while you drive home eating your Big Mac. (A head-up display would +reduce this risk.) + +A person's weight variations over the year are strongly correlated to cultural +racial, and religious factors. Almost certainly, therefore, this system will +provide another example of "computerized discrimination". + +There is even a security-related risk.

The article, by Charles F. McCoy and Richard B. +Schmitt, is headlined UNITED EDUCATION'S COMPUTER BLUNDERS FORM VORTEX OF +BIG STUDENT LOAN FIASCO. Excerpts: + + Computers at United Education and Software, Inc. ... ran wild for at + least eight months. They rejected payments from overdue borrowers + and addressed collection notices intended for New Yorkers to such + places as "Radio City, N.Y.," among other gaffes. United Education + and its colossal computer mistakes are at the heart of what is + emerging as one of the most tangled loan fiascos in years... + + The U.S. Dept. of Education has refused to honor guarantees on certain + federally backed student loans serviced by United Education. That + raises the possibility that BankAmerica or other banks that backed + the loans with letters of credit will have to shoulder huge defaults. + Citicorp and several Japanese banks, dispute how much of the liability + + United Education's beserk computer produced records that are so fouled + up that nobody knows how much the losses eventually will be. + + United Education and Software, oringinally a trade-school operator, + began servicing student loans in 1983, and grew rapidly, developing + a portfolio of more than $1 billion in less than five years... The + computer problems apparently stemmed from United Education's switch + to a new system in October 1987. According to officials familiar with + the problems, United Education's programmers introduced major software + errors and failed to properly debug the new system. + + Among the results, according to a Dept. of Education audit report: + United Education sent delinquency notices to students who were still + in school and thus weren't scheduled even to begin payments on the loans. + It placed students who were supposed to have been granted deferments + into default. It didn't inform many laggard borrowers that they were + delinquent, while informing some current borrowers that they were. The + computers also apparently logged telephone calls that were never made + and didn't log calls that were. United Education applied payments to + interest when they were supposed to be applied to interest and principal... + + Aaron Cohen, president of United Education, called the depth of the + problems identified by the audit a "shock." He said the company was + aware of bugs in the new software that were causing accounting errors, + but had no idea its loan servicing operation had run amok. He thought + any problems were routine.

"It + was pretty disturbing." + + If patient information had been lost, the virus could have forced + doctors to repeat tests that involve exposing patients to radiation, + Juni said. The phony and garbled files could have caused a mix-up + in patient diagnosis, he said. + + "This was information we were using to base diagnoses on," said Juni, + who reported the case in a letter in the New England Journal of + Medicine.

He is on a leave of absence from +Cornell and is reportedly staying at his parents' home in Arnold, Md. + Thomas Guidoboni, a Washington, DC, attorney representing Morris, con- +firmed that he wrote a letter to Cornell University legal advisers expressing +concern that the report, if it placed the blame on Morris, would influence +his right to a trial with an impartial jury. "While I did not see the +report, my view was that it might be prejudicial to Morris," Guidoboni said. +"Apparently, the US attorney had concerns as well." + Scullin and US Department of Justice officials in Washington, DC, did not +return telephone calls seeking comment on the case. + Cornell's report, which is between 160 and 200 pages including appendices, +was compiled by a committee of university officials headed by Stuart Lynn, +vice-president of information technologies. "It goes into the involvement of +Cornell's computers, the role that Morris is alleged to have, Unix security +and other issues related to networks," said Dennis Meredith, a university +spokesman. + A university disciplinary board will determine what actions, if any, it +will take against Morris after the report is released, Meredith said. + Justice Department officials are reportedly divided on whether to allow +Morris to plead guilty to a misdemeanor or to prosecute him on more severe +charges as a deterrent to computer crimes. + The decision will be made by Justice Department officials in Washington, +DC, he added: "They are the ones who are dragging their feet. They are more +interested in getting robbers and dope sellers; that is more important than +getting Robert Morris. He is not some criminal kingpin. Robert would like +the issue to be resolved, but I am not surprised that it would take this +long. + + "Hacker pleads guilty to computer violations, is denied bail by judge" + +Los Angeles -- Kevin David Mitnick, the hacker deemed too dangerous to be let +out on bail, pleaded guilty to two criminal counts last week. + In early January, Mitnick was detained under strict measures at the +request of prosecutor Leon Weidman, who asked the court to view him as a risk +and a danger to the public. The US Attorney's Office asked the court to deny +trigger programs with a phone call, according to Weidman. + Mitnick pleaded guilty to two counts: computer fraud, for entering Digital +Equipment Corp.'s computer system, and breaking federal law by having more +than 16 unauthorized phone access codes. + Under the original indictment, which included defrauding MCI Communica- +tions Corp. and transporting stolen information across state lines, he faced +30 years in prison. Mitnick pleaded not guilty to the original charges in +January. + Both the US Attorney's Office and Mitnick's Lawyer agreed that in exchange +for the plea, Mitnick would serve one year in jail and three years probation, +according to a spokeswoman for the US Department of Justice. They are +reccomending that the court follow the agreement. Mitnick is scheduled for +sentencing in late April. + The gargain was struck after it was determined that damages to DEC, +including downtime and searching for the intruder, amounted to between +$100,000 and $200,000, not the entire $4 million originally identified in +court documents, according to the spokeswoman. + While still in jail awaiting sentencing, Mitnick will be allowed to use +telephones without direct supervision, a privilege he was denied while being +held since his early December arrest. + + "TV news execs ousted after hacking charges from rival" + +Tampa, Fla. -- A Florida television station fired two news executives in the +wake of reports that one of them allegedly penetrated a rival station's +computer system and stole sensitive information. + WTSP-TV (Channel 10), an ABC affiliate in St. Petersburg, announced last +week that it had fired Assistant News Director Michael Shapiro and News +Director Terry Cole. + Shapiro was arrested Feb. 7 on felony charges for allegedly breaking into +a computer system at WTVT-TV (Channel 13) on at least six occasions in +january. He was once employed by WTVT as an assistant manager and was +responsible for administering the station's computer systems. + Law enforcement officials seized from Shapiro's home a personal computer, +200 floppy disks and an operating manual and user guide for software used at +the rival station. + He has been charged with 14 felony counts under Florida Statute 815, +which covers computer-related crimes. Each count carries a maximum sentence +sentence of 15 years and a $10,000 fine. + Vince Barresi, WSTP's vice-president and general manager, refused to +comment on the two firings. However, in a prepared statement, he said that +he told viewers during an 11 PM newscast last Tuesday that the station acted +to "avoid any questions about the objective way we do our business in keeping +the public informed." + Cole, who hired Shapiro last September, has not been charged by Florida +law enforcement officials. He was fired, according to one source, because as +director of the news room operations, he is held ultimately for the actions +of news staffers. + Shapiro and Cole were unavailable for comment. + +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + +Abbie.

Energy used in mining and preparing uranium fuel for use +in nuclear reactors produces CO2 and thereby adds to the threat of +global warming. Other energy policy options produce far less CO2. + +In particular: + +Producing 1000 MW of electricity emits the following amounts of CO2, +taking into account related mining and fuel producing processes: + +Coal-fired power station - 5,912,000 tonnes per year +Nuclear power station - 230,000 tonnes per year + +Hydro power scheme - 78,000 tonnes per year +Wind power scheme - 54,000 tonnes per year +Tidal power scheme - 52,000 tonnes per year + +Reducing demand for electricity by 1000 MW through energy efficiency +measures, using the same energy analysis technique, emits the +following amounts of CO2: + +Loft insulation - 24,000 tonnes per year +Cavity wall insulation - 23,000 tonnes per year +Low energy lighting - 12,000 tonnes per year + +As the addendum says; + +"Hence, in terms of devising solutions to counter the greenhouse +effect caused by carbon dioxide, both renewable energy sources and +energy efficiency measures offer the greatest benefits." + +In addition, attempts to expand nuclear power capacity to replace +fossil-fuel fired plant to make any significant impact on the +greenhouse effect would run into problems of declining uranium ore +grade as world resources are depleted. The lower the ore grade, the +more energy required to extract and process it and the more CO2 +released. At ore grades of between 1 and 100 parts per million the +amount of CO2 released rises to levels equivalent to coal-fired power +stations. + +The addendum states; + +"..nuclear power cannot be regarded as a sustainable solution to the +problems caused by carbon dioxide emissions." + +FoE Energy Campaigner, Simon Roberts said; + +"Even if we could ignore all of the other problems of nuclear power, +this work shows that nuclear power is way down the agenda of possible +solutions to the greenhouse effect. Friends of the Earth's evidence +shows that an energy policy to combat the greenhouse effect must be +based on energy efficiency and the development of renewables because +these options release far less carbon dioxide and they tap a +sustainable energy potential." + +(!)

However, you might +be able to find a store that might still have one lying around. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Two former employees of Cincinnati Bell, who were fired by the company for +'good cause' according to Cincinnati Bell Chairman Dwight Hibbard are +claiming they installed more than 1200 illegal wiretaps over a 12 year period +from 1972 - 1984 at the request of their supervisors at the telco and the +local police. + +Among the alleged targets of the snooping were past and present members +of Congress, federal judges, scores of the city's most prominent politicians, +business executives, lawyers and media personalities. + +Leonard Gates and Robert Draise say they even wiretapped the hotel room +where President Gerald Ford stayed during two visits to Cincinnati; and +this part of their story, at least, has been verified by the now retired +security chief at the hotel. + +As more details come out each day, people in Cincinnati are getting a rare +look at a Police Department that apparently spied on itself, and at a grand +jury probe that has prompted one former FBI official to suggest that the +Justice Department seems more interested in discrediting the accusers than +in seeking the truth. + +Cincinnati Bell executives says Gates and Draise are just trying to 'get +even' with the company for firing them. But disclosures thus far seem to +indicate there is at least some truth in what the two men are saying about +the company they used to work for. + +According to Gates and Draise, they were just employees following the orders +given to them by their superiors at Cincinnati Bell. But Dwight Hibbard, +Chairman of the Board of Cincinnati Bell has called them both liars, and +said their only motive is to make trouble for the company. + +Cincinnati Bell responded to allegations that the company had specifically +participated in illegal wiretapping by filing a libel suit against Gates +and Draise. The two men responded by filing a countersuit against the telco. +In addition to their suit, four of the people who were allegedly spied on +have filed a class action suit against the telco. + +In the latest development, Cincinnati Bell has gone public with (according +to them) just recently discovered sordid details about an extramarital +affair by Gates. A federal grand jury in Cincinnati is now trying to +straighten out the tangled web of charges and countercharges, but so far +no indictments have been returned. + +Almost daily, Gates and Draise tell further details about their exploits, +including taps they claim they placed on phones at the Cincinnati Stock +Exchange and the General Electric aircraft engine plant in suburban +Evendale. + +According to Draise, he began doing these 'special assignments' in 1972, +when he was approached by a Cincinnati police officer from that city's +clandestine intelligence unit. The police officer wanted him to tap the +lines of black militants and suspected drug dealers, Draise said. + +The police officer assured him the wiretapping would be legal, and that +top executives at the phone company had approved. Draise agreed, and +suggested recruiting Gates, a co-worker to help out. Soon, the two were +setting several wiretaps each week at the request of the Intelligence +Unit of the Cincinnati Police Department. + +But by around 1975, the direction and scope of the operation changed, say +the men. The wiretap requests no longer came from the police; instead +they came from James West and Peter Gabor, supervisors in the Security +Department at Cincinnati Bell, who claimed *they were getting the orders +from their superiors*. + +And the targets of the spying were no longer criminal elements; instead, +Draise and Gates say they were asked to tap the lines of politicians, +business executives and even the phone of the Chief of Police himself, +and the personal phone lines of some telephone company employees as well. + +Draise said he "began to have doubts about the whole thing in 1979" when +he was told to tap the private phone of a newspaper columnist in town. +"I told them I wasn't going to do it anymore," he said in an interview +last week. + +Gates kept on doing these things until 1984, and he says he got cold feet +late that year when 'the word came down through the grapevine' that he +was to tap the phone lines connected to the computers at General Electric's +Evendale plant. He backed out then, and said to leave him out of it in the +future, and he claims there were hints of retaliation directed at him at +that time; threats to 'tell what we know about you...'. + +When Dwight Hibbard was contacted at his office at Cincinnati Bell and asked +to comment on the allegations of his former employees, he responded that +they were both liars. "The phone company would not do things like that," +said Hibbard, "and those two are both getting sued because they say we do." +Hibbard has refused to answer more specific questions asked by the local +press and government investigators. + +In fact, Draise was fired in 1979, shortly after he claims he told his +superiors he would no longer place wiretaps on lines. Shortly after he quit +handling the 'special assignments' given to him he was arrested, and charged +with a misdemeanor in connection with one wiretap -- which Draise says he +set for a friend who wanted to spy on his ex-girlfriend. Cincinnati Bell +claims they had nothing to do with his arrest and conviction on that charge; +but they 'were forced to fire him' after he pleaded guilty. + +Gates was fired in 1986 for insubordination. He claims Cincinnati Bell was +retaliating against him for taking the side of two employees who were suing +the company for sexual harassment; but his firing was upheld in court. + +The story first started breaking when Gates and Draise went to see a reporter +area. The paper printed the allegations by the men, and angry responses +started coming in almost immediately. + +At first, police denied the existence of the Intelligence Unit, let alone +that such an organization would use operatives at Cincinnati Bell to +spy on people. Later, when called before the federal grand jury, and warned +against lying, five retired police officers, including the former chief, +took the Fifth Amendment. Finally last month, the five issued a statement +through their attorney, admitting to 12 illegal wiretaps from 1972 - 1974, +and implicated unnamed operatives at Cincinnati Bell as their contacts to +set the taps. + +With the ice broken, and the formalities out of the way, others began coming +forward with similar stories. Howard Lucas, the former Director of Security +for Stouffer's Hotel in Cincinnati recalled a 1975 incident in which he +stopped Gates, West and several undercover police officers from going into +the hotel's phone room about a month before the visit by President Ford. + +The phone room was kept locked, and employees working there were buzzed +in by someone already inside, recalled Lucas. In addition to the switchboards, +the room contained the wire distribution frames from which phone pairs ran +throughout the hotel. Lucas refused to let the police officers go inside +without a search warrant; and they never did return with one. + +But Lucas said two days later he was tipped off by one of the operators +to look in one of the closets there. Lucas said he found a voice activated +tape recorder and 'a couple of coils they used to make the tap'. He said +he told the Police Department and Cincinnati Bell about his findings, but +".....I could not get anyone to claim it, so I just yanked it all out and +threw it in the dumpster...." + +Executives at General Electric were prompted to meet with Draise and Gates +recently to learn the extent of the wiretapping that had been done at the +plant. According to Draise, GE attorney David Kindleberger expressed +astonishment when told the extent of the spying; and he linked it to the +apparent loss of proprietary information to Pratt & Whitney, a competing +manufacturer of aircraft engines. + +Now all of a sudden, Kindleberger is clamming up. I wonder who got to him? +He admits meeting with Draize, but says he never discussed Pratt & Whitney +or any competitive situation with Draise. But an attorney who sat in on +the meeting supports Draise's version. + +After an initial flurry of press releases denying all allegations of illegal +wiretapping, Cincinnati Bell has become very quiet, and is now unwilling +to discuss the matter at all except to tell anyone who asks that "Draise +and Gates are a couple of liars who want to get even with us..." And now, +the telco suddenly has discovered information about Gates' personal life. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +The NYT (April 11, 1989) reports that Dorcas R. Hardy, Commisssioner of the +Social Security Administration, told a Congressional committee that the agency +had verified millions of SSN's for private credit companies. + +The risks of using SSNs and private credit companies have been discussed +before. TRW, the nations largest credit reporting company recently proposed +paying the SS Administration $1000000 to have 140 million numbers verified. +Risks seem even greater when one company has credit information on 140 +individuals--approximately 2/3 of every man, woman, and child in the country. + +Phil Gambino, an agency spokesman, reported last month that the agency had +verified SSNs only at the request of beneficiaries or employers and had never +verified more than 25 numbers at a time. He said such disclosures were +required under the Freedom of Information Act. + +At the hearing yesterday, Dorcas R Hardy, Commissioner of the SSA, at first +denied any other verifications. Later she admitted that in the early 80s, +3,000,000 SSNs were verified for Citi Corp and that last year 151,000 numbers +were verified for TRW. Ms Hardy said that the 151,000 numbers were just part +of a "test run." + +Senator David Pryor, D-Ark, chairman of the Special Committee on Aging, said +that previous commissioners, the Congressional Research Service of the Library +of Congress, and Donald A. Gonya, chief counsel for Social Security have all +decided that such verification is illegal. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + notes from your buddy, Ground Zero + + +Here's a book that I highly recommend: "Women Activists" by Anne Witte +Garland, The Feminist Press at the City University of New York, 1988. It's an +excellent book that describes the experiences of women who became involved in +community, envionmental, or other political issues. + +One of the stories in the book was very familiar. It was the story of Cathy +Hinds, a Maine woman who, after moving to Gray, Maine in 1975 with her family +discovered that they all were having very serious health problems. She +had a miscarraige, and then during her next pregnancy, she gave birth pre- +maturely to a son who died two days later on Christmas Day. These and other +problems other residents were having were linked to water contaminated by +a nearby toxic dump site. Cathy organized to fight against town officials +who insisted at first that the water was drinkable, and that there were no +health risks. Cathy and her neighbor Cheryl founded an environmental group, +and began to get results. In 1982 +the site causing the problems in Gray (the McKin site) was placed on the +EPA's Superfund list of sites to receive Federal money to be cleaned up. + +Cathy is still active today. In fact, I remember that she spoke at that +march/rally on April 23rd I told you all about. She was only given about 60 +seconds to speak. I wish I could have heard more from her. I really admire +her commitment and her accomplishments. + +Anyway, if you can get a copy of "Women Activists", read it by all means. +It has several more inspiring stories of women fighting to make a difference. + + +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + + ******************** + * bbs spotlight..... * + ******************** + +Well, no better time to say a few things about my BBS, The Red Phone.

Box 2501 + Bloomfield, NJ 07003 + +Call us: 512-262-9519, box #1300 + +Howdy folks. Welcome one again to ATI. We've got a lot of great stuff in +store for you, and first up - an article by ATI's originator, Prime Anarchist. +Take it away! + + ABBIE HOFFMAN WAS NOT FAMOUS --by Prime Anarchist + + You're sitting in a bar with your idol, and a bunch of your college +buddies. Your idol is paying more attention to the Chcago Bears game on big +screen than your somewhat forced political discussions. He just got done +lecturing to hundreds of you for two hours-- the last thing he wants to talk +about is politics. But now and then, you can get an opinoin out of him for +your school newspaper. + Talk turns toward his Chicago Eight days, "Steal This Book", "Urine +Test", stuff like that, and a pissed-off Abbie Hoffman says, "That's it. +"I'm out of here. I know when I'm too welcome." + Your idol has left you like a miserable little child who wasn't +allowed two more cookies, but you're quick to understand and respect that. +You'd give your right arm to have half the celebration Abbie's got, but +you'd gladly donate your left nut to be able to "dis" that fame with half +as much grace as he does. Maybe you hope you'll get busted for cocaine so +you too can go underground. Maybe you hope you can organize a non-event +that the press will wish they had known about. Maybe you'd like to write the +next ultimate book that upsets Walden Books. + Abbie's death should mean nothing to you--however, his life should have +had great impact. The things he has said should be ignored-- we need to heed +what he's done instead. Somewhere around the fab-50's when nothing much +mattered, Abbie Hoffman got his first taste of fame when he became a yo-yo +champ. Even the inventors wished they could have a few moments with the guy +to see some of his made-up tricks in slow motion. I don't think he ever +gave out any of his own secrets. Not then; still 30 years later he remained +reluctant to "tell all". But ask the guy a question or two, and you sure +got a wealth of info. + That first taste of fame must have stunk in his mouth something rotten, +'cause it wasn't long before he spit it out and didn't want a thing to do +with it. No one knows when he became an A) agitator, B) activist C) radical +or D) make up your own word. He claims it started before he was born. +But just when an event looked like it would make him a little too famous, +it was time to go cook up another event. The people watching with awe when m +or the anarchy caused when Louis Guiffrida got thirty calls a minute telling +him he was a racist son of a bitch didn't seem to bother Abbie. In fact, +I think it pleased him. But the minute we began chatting about "there goes +that yoyo again" or "let's interview the yipster", it was time to go hide. +Abbie Hoffman didn't hate the pressmen; he loathed them. ("Loathe" was for +lack of a better word, by the way. I don't think there's a word bitter +enough.) Plain and simple, Abbie did not like fame. + During the 60's, when everything seemed to matter, Abbie could've easily +been a powerful attorney, great sportscaster, inspiring history professor, +or the best damned bum anyone ever met. Guess which one this genius-level +character picked? + Abbie joined the drug culture, as everyone knows. We are fortunate he +had a high tolerance for drugs, because he was obssesive about everything +he got into. While we were all tuning out and turning on, he was participating +too. But he was also stirring up. Hey, someone had to do it. No one +woulda known, that a little argument with a mayor could make headlines +thoughout the nation. Good thing Abbie knew a lot of great attorneys, +because the Chicago Eight was about to be plucked right out of the streets +just as randomly as the hispanics that'll get sent to concentration camps if +Operation Night Camp is needed. + In Abbie's obituaries after his death, there'd been a lot of mention of +a Chicago Seven. Who was this group? I never heard of them. I only know +of a Chicago Eight. I think it is a gross misinformation blitz to leave +out Bobbie Seale who made it thru more than half the trial as a teammate. +I also think it sets us up as "racism continuers" to leave out the only man +of color burned in that trial. + Abbie handled his fame well;stomached it as best he could,and drove on-- +stirring up every event he could organize. The 60's were a busy time for +Abbie, but the 70's just might go down as the time when he reached his +underground peak. Everyone knows about the Yipsters, but only fans, and +hard working undergrounders remember the Youth International Party Line. +YIPL was an underground newspaper that never saw a "regular" publishing +schedule, but always came as a refreshing piece of mail. You sent a dollar +to some suite in NYC, and kept getting these pamphlets on how to make free +fone calls, how to keep using the same stamp for hundreds of letters among +friends, and generally how to beat the system at its own game. Few knew +that Abbie was one of the strongest ghost publishers of YIPL magazine, but a +lot of freaks started subscribing to his new form of interactive press. +People would write in and fone in tricks on how to use #14 washers as dimes, +how to turn your utility meter upside-down so it'd flow backwards for a week, +how to set up your apartment with hotel sofas and loveseats. A phreak/ +hacker/freaker/enthusiast (you pick the name) who sent something in could +count on YIPL to help him out if he ran aground. Abbie was quick to start +campaigns to get lots of people out of jail. Like I said,he coulda been a +potent lawyer if he wanted to play that way. YIPL became TAP (short for +Technincal Assistance Party) and got a lot more electronically oriented, but +still kept some of its political bent. But it just wasn't quite as activist. +Chesire Catalyst and the gang tried and tried to get the campaigns going to +help bail Abbie out when he got yanked for his DeLoreanesque cocaine set up. + No dice. Abbie had to go so far underground, even the underground couldn't +always get a hold of him. TAP went on about its merry way into the 80's and +eventually disbanded. After all, the apathetic 80's were just around the +corner. + Abbie began pulling in large amounts for showing up at colleges. Most +of it went to causes. He had trouble finding liberal students that would +hear him out. The college students seemed too concerned with resumes, +internships, co-ops and things to worry about Central American problems, +or worn-out old protests of nuclear submarines. But as apathetic as these +students were, they seemed to love having him. + A year ago last September, he was inviting students to a well-planned +leftist convention at Rutgers. He had no idea, the following February, 600 +would show up ready to vote, and more than 500 more wanted to come "be-in". +Was the 60's starting all over again? Or was the same 70's (1770) revolution +just hitting another upstroke? Abbie joined Ginsberg, Little Steven VanZant, +Amy Carter, and other celebrated speakers inspiring tomorrow's youthdown at +the New Jersey college, but towards the end, he got mad at someone or somthing +and took off. + His leaving agitated people just as much as his speeches. I think he +might've meant it. Whatever he did, it worked. There are a lot of 20ish +people out there ready to come out of the woodwork whenever the next abortion/ +marijuana/gay rights/no nukes/etc rally gets underway. I wish I could be +there doing more than watching it, but that's my job. You do yours, OK? +And do it 100% if you can. + When Abbie left the Rutgers convention, he went right home to battle the +Philadelphia Utility company about their unsafe power plant proposal. +Again, he shouldn've been able to count on those 1000 or so people to come +dribble down there, and help organize, but no dice. Only a few followed +through. But along with a group called Del-Aware, Abbie started a fight that +still continues. Philly has yet to break ground, just billyclub heads. + Abbie's actions throughout the 20th century sets us with a groundwork +for social engineering, political dissent, student activisim, outside +agitation, as well as participation with a messed up country that STILL +happens to be the most free nation we know about. A lot of the negative +shrot-range things he's started off have led to some very positive +restructuring possibilities. "Steal +This Book" not only shows you how to get something free, or sneak around; it +teaches you to be creative, and gets you started making the future yours. +"Steal This Urine Test" not only teaches you how to drink olive oil so last +night's joint won't show up, or how to pour battery acid from a rubber +--screwing up millions of dollars worth of technology, but it shows you how +to make decisions for yourself, and how to go about protesting violations +of your privacy. Any one of his books could be titled "A Patriot's Guide +to Keeping America Free". + Whether posthumous books are due is up in the air. No one knows how +aggressive/generous his brother-in-law or his girlfriend plan on getting +with his written work. Brother Jack HAS been reprinting "Steal This Book" +and a few other out-of-prints though, so if you missed any of them, now's as +good a time as any to put "Square Dancing" or "Soon To Be" on your must-read +list. + Abbie wrote on everything. Matchbook covers, napkins, address books, +dollar bills, tables, whatever was put in front of him. What he wrote +on mostly, though, was politics. TAP/YIPL might be gone, but many writers +across the land have been so inspired by that style, we've seen a renaissance +of "underground" rags/fact sheets/fanzines (again, pick your own name for +'em.) A good place to start looking for the Hoffmanesque writing style would +be Realtiy Hackers magazine which comes out monthly, 2600 magazine which +comes out 4 times a year, ATI which comes out whenever, Phrack which comes +out only in "software" copy every two months or so. + Addresses can't be give here, naturally, but if you're aggressive enough +,you'll find your way around. + If you want fame, pattern yourself after someone like Johnny Bench or +Geraldo Revera. But if you want to accomplish things in life, the ones to +watch are the Geroge Bushes, the Tom Clancys and the Abbie Hoffmans. + People liked to steal his driver's license, and his address book. Kind +of a perverted way to get a memento/souvenir/token. Kind of a great way to +piss someone off. The weekdays of the '80s were such a struggle for Abbie +to rewrite his phone numbers from memory, he began making copies to hand out +to anyone who looked like they might want one that deperately. Your second +,third...fortieth copy of your driver's license don't come cheap. I wonder +if Abbie still has an outstanding tab at Bucks County's MVD. + Phil Donahue type people started bugging the hell out of him around +87-88. It got so bad, he finally had to put up a "leave me alone, Phil. +I don't want to be on your show" message on his machine. Warner Brothers, +Tri-Star, etc. hounded him constantly the last few years to star in an +autobiographical movie. He flat out refused. + Abbie's last few years in a Philadelphia crash-pad-styled chicked-coop +were as quiet as he wanted to make them. He said they were very comfortable; +he was content. From this "headquarters" came the necessary magazine +articles, telephone interviews, event planning, and lecture scheduling. + When we invade a Honduras, bomb a Tripoli or stockade a gulf, you could +count on Abbie and his buddies to get those fones through the government +tan-boxes and give you an idea what's really going on. Sometimes he'd only +tellyou a little, but he seemed to know everything. He didn't want to tell +ALL, because he didn't want to be your only source. That meant fame. +You know how he felt about that. + He told you about Iranscam back in '82, told you about Carter getting +used on the hostage situation way back in '80. To say he was your "80's Deep +Throat" was the journalistic understatement of the century. He gave good +background. But he said, "don't quote me", and he meant it. And you +didn't mess. + Abbie Hoffman died quietly. The press didn't know until four hours later +that something was "news" in New Hope. That meant there was no one there +to ask, "how's it feel to be dying" and "do you have any last words for +my microcassette recorder here", and "if you could do it again, what would +you change?" He wouldn't want to tell you anyways. + Don't send condolences in the usual way, steal a book. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- + Random Notes from Ground Zero... + +PAGO PAGO, SAMOA: Vice President Dan Quayle, addressing Samoans who greeted +him when he arrived in Pago Pago (which he pronounced Pogo Pogo): "You all +look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you +have been, and as far as I'm concerned, happy campers you will always be". + +(Source: The Progressive magazine) + + +I was reading a book called "AIDS: The Women" recently. It has several stories +about women who have AIDS, or work as a professional or volunteer providing +care to AIDS patients, or women who have a loved one with AIDS, etc. One of +the stories was written by a woman in Atlanta who wrote about her dealings +as a self-proclaimed "prostitutes' rights advocate". While her efforts to +try to get prostitutes to wear condoms are indeed commendable, I object to +the term "prostitutes' rights". What rights do they deserve? In my opinion, +no more than those guaranteed by the Constitution. They certainly deserve no +special rights as a profession. Also, I would have to wonder about a woman +who seems to lend support to an practice which exploits women and their +sexuality. Instead of a "prostitutes' rights advocate, I'd much rather see +someone trying to get them out of an exploitative and downright abusive life. + +I also had the dubious pleasure of watching women participating in a "prosti- +tute's convention in San Francisco being interviewed recently on "A Current +Affair" (a TV show known for it's yellow journalistic style). These women +were actually ones who chose prostitution as a profession, and were not street +hookers. But I found them to be just as objectionable. I sat and listened to +these women say things like, "When I became a prostitute I learned a lot about +my sexuality", and another one rambled on about how much she loved her "job" +(incidentally, she was married) and about how she enjoyed pleasing her clients' +fetishes. + +Ok. Enough. Let's have some morality here. I'm sick of hearing about "prosti- +tutes' rights advocates" and conventions for prostitutes. I'm sick of ANY +attempts to legitimize this "profession", including those legal brothels in +Nevada and Amsterdam. I'll say this once, and I'm sure I'll say it again: +Women who sell their bodies for money or any other gain are selling out +womankind as a whole. They're throwing the rest of the female gender back +into the Dark Ages. I'm all for a more liberal society, but the practice of +prostitution and attempts to legitimize it are absolutely ridiculous. Let's +focus on relationships and the family and not meanigless exchanges of +intercourse and money. + +Ok, off the soap box... for now! + + +Another funny thing I saw on TV lately was an incident involving a contest +Kraft was running in a few southern states. They put game pieces in their +cheese wrappers, and the first prize in the contest was a brand new van. Due +to a printing error, almost every game piece printed was an instant winner for +the van. So everyone in that area that bought a package of Kraft slices +got an intant winner for a van. Kraft called the contest off due to the error. +There was a small amount of public outcry, including a woman who decided to +sue Kraft for the van. "The purpose of a contest is to generate sales. They +got thier sales, I want my van", said the woman. Ridiculous. I usually don't +side with the big fat-cat capitalists (in fact, I NEVER do!), but in this case +I have to. I mean, come on. Kraft may have generated some extra sales from +the contest, but they would have had to sell a helluva lot of slices to pay +for probably hundreds of thousands of vans. Lady, drop your dumb lawsuit. + + +Here's something that I was apalled to hear: In nearby Jersey City, NJ, there +are over 71 dump sites of a substance called chromium, which is far more +dangerous and carcinogenic than dioxin, the chemical that was responsible +for the serious adverse health effects in Love Canal. Jersey City is a very +densely populated urban area. This means that the residents are literally +living on top of and breathing in this chemical. The EPA has been slow to +respond to this situation, and their answer to the situation so far is to move +about half of the chromium in these various dump sites to a "temporary" +storage site right by the Hackensack River in Jersey City. People who have +seen the site have said that the chemical is not contained properly and is +in pools on the ground. Since this site is right next to the river, the +chromium may be leaking into the ground water..... + +Folks, I'm not going to let that one slide. Look for more in later issues on +Jersey City's chromium problem. + +(Source: WBAI News 99.5 FM, New York) + + +Speaking of WBAI-FM, they are going to have a show about computer hackers +on Tuesday, July 25th at 7:30 PM.

I thougt it was by far, the BEST handled Abbie article this side +of the century, this side of the world. + That's until I picked up the July issue of High Times magazine. Steven +Bloom made an awesome compilation of discussions with a bunch of people who +knew Abbie, and it was filled with good schtuff. David Peel, Paul Katner, +Aaron Kay and Willian Kunstler made for the most interesting of the speels. +Also reprinted was an interview John Holstrom did with Abbie around February +last year. + + I'll bring forth some of the parts that really tugged at my heart. + "Born on the Fourth of July" will star Tom Cruise as a Vietman vet who +comes back to America and becomes a peacenik.

A great opportunity was lost. Better comprehension of electronic +bulltin boards and computerizing is needed. + Abbie Hoffman was a great mind. Many of us often picked for thoughts when +we knew something was up but just couldn't prove it. Abbie could always get +you proof. + Abbie was a manic depressive -- for that we can be thankful. For it was +from his mood upswings that we got entire novels or painfully truthful poems, +lectures, movie roles, comedy acts or great events. + Abbie was the only man alive in the early 80's capable of exposing the +CIA's efforts in Iran, Nicaragua, Angola, and Guatemala. I'm not suggesting +that Abbie's death was a fascist plot. + I'm insisting it. + I also noticed in this issue of High Times that marijuana is going for +$120 an ounce these days.

P.A.W.N. +$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ + +scienceTALKscienceTALKscienceTALKscienceTALKscienceTALKscienceTALKscienceTALK + +Now, we have an article from The Unbeliever (201) (formerly The Mad Pirate): + + !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + ******Light Speed... And why it's not possible.******** + !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + + Ok. I know what you're thinking. You have this big question. "Why isn't +faster than light travel (For the sake of space, I'll call FTL, which stands +for [F]aster [T]han [L]ight.) possible? What is so magic about the speed of +light? If you keep accelerating an object, won't you eventually reach the +'speed of light'? Un huh. No way. That's what I'm going to explain right here. + + Most people believe that if force is applied to an object, it accelerates in +the direction opposite of which the force is applied. As long as the force is +applied, the object will continue to move faster and faster. Under ordinary +conditions, there is no sign that this will change; no mysterious speed limit +at which this object will stop accelerating, no matter what the force. + + Physicists are quite sure that as a force is applied to an object, the +momentum of the object will increase indefinitely, and come ever closer to +infinite. The same can be said of an object's kinetic energy. + + Since the common sense notion is that the mass of a body (easily defined as +"the quantity of matter it contains") does not change with motion, it follows +that momentum and kinetic energy must increase only because velocity increases. +And if momentum and kinetic energy increase indefinitely as a force continues +to be applied, that can only mean that velocity must increse indefinitely. +There seems no way out of that syllogism, so what is all this junk about the +speed-of-light limit. + + This "junk" started with Albert Einstein in 1905. It seemed to Einstein that +the speed of light in a vacuum must always be measured at the same speed (just +under 300,000 kilometers per second) no matter what the motion of the light +source might be relative to the observer who was making the measurement. + + This consistancy of the speed of light did not seem to make sense. Ordinary +objects, like a thrown rock, had speed that depended in part on the motion of +the person or object throwing the ball, and it definitely seemed this rule +should apply to everything, including light. Why should light have a special +status? + + Einstein developed his 'Special theory of Relativity' to describe a universe +in which light behaved in this unusual fasion. For light o behave as it does, +Einstein showed that mass ought to increase in quantity for a moving object. It +should increase, as a matter of fact, according to a set relationship: + + M = m/(sqr(1-v^2/c^2)) + (The above is written in commodore style formulas, because the C64 +doesn't support exponents and square root formulas.) + +Where v is the speed of the object, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, m is +the mass of the object when it's not moving and M is the mass of the boject +when it IS moving at velocity v. + + Until the begining of the 20th century, nothing had ever attained the speed +of even 0.1 kilometers per second, or 1/3,000,000 the speed of light. Even if +you add interplanetary rockets to the list, 15 kilometers pre second, or +1/20,000 the speed of light is all we have obtained. + + If we use Einstein's formula and imagine a 1 kilogram object moving at 15 +kilometers per second, it's mass at that speed would be 1.0000000013 kilograms. +It would have gained 1 1/3 micrograms, or a little over a billionth of it's +rest mass. + + Imagine an object moving at the enormous speed of 30,000 kilometers per +second. Such a speed is 1/10 that of light and by Einsteins equation, I 1 +kilogram object moving at that speed would have a mass of 1.005 kilograms. It +would have increased in mass by only approximately 0.5 percent. + + A 1 kilogram object with the velocity of 60,000 kilometers per second would +have a mass of 1.021 kilograms. At 90,000 kilometers per second, it's mass +would be 1.048 kilograms; at 120,000 kps it would be 1.091 kilograms; at +150,000 kps it would be 1.155 kilograms. + + 150,000 kilometers per second is half the speed of light. Even then, the gain +in mass is only 15.5 persent. This doesn't seem very serious, but please note +that the mass has been increasing at a faster and faster rate as the speed +increases. + + By the time we reach a speed of 290,000 kps (97 percent the speed of light), +the mass of the moving body is 3.892, almost four times the original mass. At +295,000 kps (98.3% speed of light) the mass equals 5.52 kilograms; at 299,000 +kps (99.7% speed of light), 12.22 kilograms, at 299,999 kps (99.9997% speed of +light) 383.5 kilograms. + At the speed of light itself, if that could be reached, the mass would be +infinite- as would be momentum and kinetic energy. + + A faster spped is impossible because neither mass, momentum or kinetic energy +can be more than infinite. Besides, at infinite mass, no force, however great, +can produce any acceleration, however small, so the speed cannot increase. So +the speed of light is the limit which cannot be passed. + + And yet all this depends upon the validity of Einsteins equation, which in turn +depends upon a correct deduction from Einstein's basic assumption. What if the +equation is wrong, has been incorrectly deduced, or is based on faulty +reasoning? + + Perhaps we would still be wondering about that, were it not that a decade +before Einstein advanced his theory, subatomic particles had been discovered. +These tiny objects move at large fractions of the speed of light. Their mass +could be measures with considerable precision, and it was found not only does +their mass increase with speed,but PRECISELY to the amount predicted by +Einstein's equation. + + Whew! That was a long file! Well, that's all for now... Until next issue! + + (Most of the information for this I obtained from an essay about the +speed of light written by Issac Asimov.) +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + +And now, a few words on the flag and democracy by MAC???

It happens because +crack users often resort to prostitution to get money for the drug. This has +led to huge upswing in venereal disease cases. When intercourse takes place +with open sores cause by venereal diseases, this allows for the blood-to-blood +or semen-to-blood contact necessary for transmission of the AIDS virus. + +Huey Newton, co-founder of the Black Panthers with Bobby Seale back in the +60's was shot to death in Oakland, Ca. this week. He was 47. Uncertain as to +who killed him and why. + +Racism in the Garden State: The NJ Turnpike is seen as a key link in the +transportation of drugs to New York and other points north. So NJ State +troopers have taken to searching cars for drugs after stopping them for +traffic violations. The problem is that the majority of those stopped are +Blacks and Hispanics, stopped for very minor traffic infringments, (like an +improper lane change) and treated in an extremely rude and abusive manner in +many cases. This statistic speaks for itself: Blacks/minotities make up for +only 30% of drug arrests nationwide, but the percentage of Black/minority drug +arrests from car searches in the NJ Turnpike in the southernmost section near +Philadelphia is 86%. In the section of the tunpike near New York, 89% of drug +arrests from car searches are Black/minority. A clear case of race selection. +(Source: WOR-TV News, Secaucus, NJ) + +Movie: "Rude Awakening" was an interesting movie, full of very funny moments. +It's about 2 hippies who go to live in exile in the Central American jungle in +1969. But today, in 1989 they come across a killed CIA agent with papers that +detail US plans to invade Central America. They decide to go back to New York +to expose the papers to the media. They look up their old friends, who +abandoned their radical 60's ways and became successful. I thought the movie +was great, but the get-active-and-save-the-planet message in the end of the +movie should have been more spread out. The movie should have integrated the +hippies' awareness of the extreme new problems of the late 80's throughout the +movie.

Thompson has been often asked to +eulogize media star, Abbie Hoffman. One of Hunter's abiding memories of +Abbie is that he paid his bets. "I watched a basketball game with him in +Seattle a while back. He considered himself a great handicapper, but I beat +him on a bet and he paid," recalls Hunter. "That's not bad." + That's better than you can say for Peter Rose. This morning, standing +right on Pete Rose Way, in Downtown Cincinatti, Mr. Rose tried to reason +his latest statement that got him a "slight" punishment by the baseball +commission. + "I wanted it to read, 'I don't confirm or deny having bet on baseball', +they wanted it to read 'this finding neither confirms nor denies Rose's +betting on baseball'. We compromised, and it now reads, 'This finding +neither confirms nor denies Rose's betting on baseball'. Way to go, Pete. +By the way, Pete, if you're reading this, Hunter Thompson wants his thirty +bucks. + In 1970 a county commissioner was elected by ONE VOTE. The loser +demanded a recount, naturally, but the original tally proved correct. +So, in Hinsdale county where voting residents still number only about 200-- +everyone takes his politics mighty mighty seriously. + This sign found in a local library: "Do not place small children and +large objects on counter". A woman put her daughter upon the counter +and the checkout asked her to place the infant on a chair or the floor. +An argument started over the fact that "since I only have a small child and +not a large object AS WELL, I should be allowed to place her here." They +then changed the "and" to an "or" and the sign now reads "Please do not place +small children OR large objects..." + Can you believe 1989 is almost over??? Sept. already.

I have no idea what the object is. I could probably spy all day +too, to no avail. + Arcades are starting to offer a form of credit or debit card.

Instead of a "match", the machine'd ask you to insert your card again +Or continue playing. You'd get a credit for ANY machine if you want it. +Nice technology. + With all the Colombian drug busts coming our way, I wonder how we're +keeping Manuel Noriega quiet.

In addition it is +your affaint's belief that the person who gained access to the +data, violated the "Unlawful Use Of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" statute +of the -STATE- Penal Code. He committed this crime by adapting +programs and computers with the intent to make phone calls so as +to illegally obtain the data in question and that those phone calls +were in fact made on or about between --DATE--, 1989 and --DATE--, 1989 +and the person knew the character of the instrument he set up. +In addition, he has reason to believe and does believe that person +or persons in the place and premises in question made numerous long +distance phone calls between --DATE--, 1989 and --DATE--, 1989 using +-COMPANY- credit cards that were stolen in the process described above +in violation of the "Credit Card Abuse" statute of the -STATE- Penal +Code. He further believes that the above cited items, property, +impliments and instruments are located at the place and premises +cited above. + + + V. + + +Your affaint's belief is based on two things--his personal +experience that he has garnered through executing numerous search +warrants in cases like this and conversation he has had with Smith +who is employed as Director Of Security for -COMPANY- and a person +with no known criminal record. + +Your affaint, for approximately 16 months, has been in periodic contact +contact with different members of the security divisions of various +long distance communications common carriers (phone companies). +I have worked primarily with Smith of -COMPANY-. + +Smith and other security personnel have filed numerous complaints +alleging that persons are accessing their companys' computer +systems and obtaining data from them. The persons or "hackers" or +"phreakers" as they are known in the industry, have learned how to +break into and use the computers employed by the various companies +to make long distance phone calls without having to pay for the +service. + +On dozens of occasions, I have executed search warrants on +residences and businesses identified through "trap and trace" +information supplied by various phone companies pursuant to the +filed complaints and in almost 100% of the searches recovered +computers and equipment such as automatic dialers, programs, +recording devices, discs, modems, printers, telephones, hardware +and software as well as notes, records, printouts, and ledgers which +indicate that a person was in fact making calls to the phone +company systems, and obtaining data (codes which authorize long +distance calls) like the complaints had alledged. This property, +items and other material, is invariably found at the place and +premises that are identified in the "trap and trace". I have found +that the property, items and other materials are kept for months +and sometimes years so that they can be used again and referred +back to. + +On -DATE-, 1989, Smith told me that he was investigating an +individual that was making calls into -COMPANY-'s system from -CITY-, +XXXXXXXX County, -STATE-, obtaining long distance telephone +authorization numbers (credit cards), and making long distance +phone calls utilizing those numbers without -COMPANY-'s consent or the +consent of -COMPANY-'s customers who have been assigned the numbers. He +said that in -DATE-, 1989 -COMPANY- received a phone call from a +customer who said that another person was utilizing his code to +make long distance phone calls without his permission. + +Smith said that he called the phone number that had been called +by the person illegally using the -COMPANY- authorization code and he +was told by the party answering the phone that an individual named +-DEFENDANT- had made the call in question. In -DATE- and -DATE-, +1989, he followed up leads that indicated to him that this person +named -DEFENDANT- had made several long distance phone calls from +-CITY-, XXXXXXXX County, -STATE- using -COMPANY- authorization codes +assigned to customers without their consent. Smith learned +this information by talking to the -COMPANY- customers and persons whose +phones had been called by the person utilizing the codes +without their owner's consent. + +Through investigative work, Smith learned the pager number of an +individual named -DEFENDANT- who lived in -CITY-. Smith said he +called that pager number and left as the phone number to be called +his own direct work number in -CITY-, -STATE-. On -DATE-, +1989, and individual identifying himself as -DEFENDANT- called Smith +on his direct line and said he was returning the call to his pager. + +Smith stated that the -COMPANY- phone system had the capacity to record +information about incoming calls and when he looked at this +information, he learned that the person who called on that date, +was calling from -CITY-, XXXXXXXX County, -STATE- and was utilizing +an -COMPANY- authorization code that had been assigned to a -COMPANY- customer +who had not given the caled permission to use the code. Smith +looked at other -COMPANY- records that showed that the code number in +question had been "hacked" on -DATE-, 1989. + +Smith said that on -DATE-, 1989, he asked -BELL EMP.- an +employee of Bell Telephone Company to set up a trap +and trace on its -CITY- Lines so that the caller from -CITY- +could be identified. -BELL EMP.- reported back that numerous +phone calls were being made to the -COMPANY- system from a residence in +-CITY-, XXXXXXXX County, -STATE- at -ADDRESS-. -BELL EMP.- +said that phone service was set up at that residence for -DEFENDANT-. +-BELL EMP.- said he continued the trap and trace until +-DATE-, 1989. He said that during that period of time, frequent +calls were made into the -COMPANY- system. The calls were usually made +between 11:00 pm and 5:00 am. + +Smith said that during the time that Bell Telephone continued +its trap and trace, -COMPANY- monitored its system to see what the caller +was doing. Smith said that -COMPANY's- records indicate that most of +the calls made into -COMPANY- during this period of time were of a +searching nature. That is, the caller made frequent calls, one +after another, using a different authorization number in each +instance but using the same end destination phone number each time. +The phone calls were made one or two per minute. + +I know, though my experience that these searching calls are made +for the sole purpose of discovering valid authorization numbers so +that the numbers can be used to make long distance phone calls for +free. I know that once these valid codes are obtained, they are +kept by the caller in notes, ledgers, papers or other medium. +Smith told me that -COMPANY- verified that the caller was able to +discover 12 valid codes in this manner and that many long distance +phone calls were made from the -DEFENDANT-'s residence utilizing these +stolen codes. + +I visited the residence of -DEFENDANT- and affirmed that the +description of the place and premises given above is true and +correct. + +WHEREFORE, your affaint asks for the issuance of a warrant that +will authorize him to search said place and premises for said +implements, instruments, property and items and to seize the same. + + + XXXXXXX XXXXX, Affaint + + +SUBSCRIBED and SWORN to before me, by the said affaint on this the +1 day of -DATE-, 1989. + + XXXXXXXXXXX District Court + XXXXXXXX County, -STATE- + XXXXXXX XXXXX, Judge + XXXXXXX District Court + -STATE- + The above was a statement given by a law +warrant. A warrant was issued, eqipment was confiscated, and the person in +question was charged with several counts of credit card abuse. + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + +And that's all for ATI41..

But first you + need to create it using the text editor called VUE. You would type in + "VUE SETLOG.M68", and type in the program above. Press your ESC key + and type "G" to compile the program. After a short period of time, and + assuming there are no errors, you'll have a program called SETLOG.SBR, + which is what you want. Next step is to enter BASIC by typing that in + at the prompt. Next, you should type in this phrase exactly: + + XCALL SETLOG, "DSK0:[1,4]" + + Now exit it out of BASIC by typing "bye", and if all has gone well, you + should now be logged into DSK0:[1,4], also known as SYS:. The account + can be anything you want, as long as you know what available accounts + are on the system you are calling into. This is easily found out by + typing in MOUNT, which will give you a list of all mounted disks on the + system. Follow this up with a PPN ?diskname? and you'll know where to + start. The above subroutine is only really needed if an account is + password protected, which is rare. + +=========================================================================== + + Next up, a brief summary of special logon processes for a company called + CBI, or Credit Bureau Inc.

Enter in the ID and password. Remember to be in +lower case, and that the password will not echo to your screen. + +[b] If everything is cool, you should see: "UNIX 3B2". After that, any +messages from Blue Cross will appear. Based upon your log ID, a line pops +up saying..."YOU HAVE 15 SECONDS TO READ THIS MESSAGE." Normal billing +replies and remittances are sent to the screen. + +[c] About 2-3 minutes later, after all the messages have stopped being +displayed, another message shows up: "YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED TWO FILES". +Then the '$' prompt appears, and you are now at the OS level. I haven't +played around with this too much (been too busy). + +[d] If you want to erase any of the claims that were sent to you, type +in "rcln" to delete the files. The blue cross system will pause for a +few seconds, and the $ will come back. + +[e] When you want to submit claims (why?), type in "tmgr 14000", and send +whatever you want to be sent to blue cross. The message "THE 3B2 IS NOW +READY FOR YOUR TRANSMISSION" is the key to look for. + +[f] To exit off the system, just type in "logoff", and the blue cross CPU +will say "GOODBYE!!!" and disconnect you. Note: The claims submission +process will automatically disconnect you, so make that your last option! + + +-- Written by Nightcrawler (516) for Activist Times Inc. + +*************************************************************************** +North and South Dept...... + +Here's something from my BBS, The Red Phone (201-748-4005).

Anyway, there are few people here that can enjoy computers and techno- +logy. Im one of the lucky ones. But.. most Argentinians are not! And they work +10-12 hr a day just to earn $50 us per month!!! And that's EXPLOITING! true +that we depend on US and Europe, but it's true too, that we have no chance to +get out of this situation, because YOU and europe regulate the world prices for +everything we produce. The US and Europe don't wish us to be Japan or Germany, +or someting like this....they just want us where we are. Because...you need +that cheap workers to make difference which you invest in more and more tech- +nology. So please stop talking of the billions spent in help. That billions are +not help, that's because we worked so long, and what we need to not die from +starvation, so you can continue with this silly game....like IBM, i.e. Why do +you think there is an IBM factory in Argentina? In USA they must pay at least +$1000 a month for each worker..here..it's OK to pay $50 a month, but it's not +enough to sustain a whole family of 4 or 5 members....but...anyway, that's not +YOUR problem, as all the Americans say... It's simple, they say, they can't pay +more, because there would not be profits for them.... and that is a great LIE!! +IBM was the greatest exporter last year.... +This is a game where two players are needed. One rich player, and one poor +player. If the poor player DIES, the rich one can't keep playing, and winning. +They can't keep selling their technology, and they can't continue exploiting +the other people. + +The same would happen if the poor one goes socialist..Why do you think there +are thousands of contras in Honduras and Nicaragua?

So, ATI +will now have a new occasional feature called "The Roving Eavesdropper", where +we will bring you possible conversations that possibly took place over the +phone, over the modem (via buffers), or even in person. We bring you this +feature to represent reality. To show you humorous sides of human interaction +that are normally not encountered.

It seems to +sometimes attract a more interesting variety of individuals, as we will see +now. + +When a + is shown, it means someone is had logged on. A - indicates someone +logged off. Users who do not have a password (they cost between $5-$15 per +month) have a time limit of 5 minutes on the system. The callers in this +instance were all non-password holders, so you will see a lot of logging on and +logging off, including the signons and signoffs of the person who buffered this +fascinating conversation. + A /s gives a list of users online.

I'll summarize +it for you: + +Burroughs Wellcome, producer of the drug AZT known to help AIDS patients, has +just lowered the price of AZT by 20% to about $6,400 a year. + +But it's still far too costly. Especially since Burroughs Wellcome will NOT +reveal the cost of producing the drug to ANYONE, not the public, and not even +Congress. + +Their refusal to disclose the cost of producing the drug or further reduce its +price is especially unfair, since the Ameerican taxpayers have paid for AZT +three times. + +First, the US government gave Burroughs Wellcome financial assistance and tax +credits for research. Then, taxpayers picked up the tab for most of the +clinical trials for AZT. And now, the federal government is their largest +customer with Medicaid and other assistance programs. As the 9/15/89 Wall +Street Journal stated: "AZT's profits are something of a windfall", since +Burroghs Wellcome "didn't create the compound, it wasn't the first to discover +its effectiveness against AIDS-type retroviruses, it didn't discover its +effectiveness against AIDS itself and it didn't conduct the first human tests. +Much of that work was done by other scientists, some at the National Institute +of Health with federal funding." + +A 50% price cut would double the number the federal government can help in AZT +assistance. GMHC asks all concerned people (and you should all be concerned!) +to: + +1- Call Burroughs Wellcome at 1-800-922-9292 and tell them "Thanks, but it's +not enough!" + +2- Send GMHC a note asking them to add your name to their petition which will +be directed to the White House, Congress, the New York congressional +delegation and Burroughs Wellcome. The petition states: + +"Access to medical care and affordable medicines must be made available for +HIV-positive people. We are tired of programs which offer too little, too +late. We want action now!" + +And when you send your note, send a contribution to GMHC if you can. + +Note: I can't find GMHC's address. If you wish to contact them, call New York +City information (212)555-1212 and ask for the number for Gay Men's Health +Crisis and call them.

Because two of the +men's names were not known, they are referred to in the story as A and B. + +"Typical Conversation Overheard at a Suburban Mall" + + One day I was sitting at the food court at a shopping mall, one of the +great meccas of suburban culture. I sat at a table adjacent to the center of +the mall, with its numerous fountains, benches, winding staircases and mall +rats (people addicted to hanging out in these malls) of all ages. + I became interested in a fascinating conversation taking place near me. +Two guys sat on a bench near me with their backs towards me. They both wore +ragged t-shirts and jeans, and had long hair. Both of them wore baseball caps +trned backwards, one of them a Metallica cap. They were talking to another guy +named Steve, who worked at one of the many food concessions. They were +conversing about a woman they all knew: + "Hey, you know that girl Cathy? Theone who hangs out at Joe's Bar?", +asked A. + "Uh, which one? What does she look like?", asked B. + "If you knew her you would KNOW who we're talking about", said Steve with +a laugh. "She gets, uh, kinda funny when she's drunk." + "Oh, yeah," said Steve. "I know the one." + "She gets so damn horny when she's drunk. She was drunk over at Joe's the +other night and gave me a really big kiss for no reason at all," stated A. + "She's always there. I don't know who watches her kids while she's +there," said Steve. + "How old is she?" asked A. + "She's thirty-eight. With three kids," said Steve. + "Yeah, well, whenever she's at that bar she's always hanging all over all +the guys there. Especially the young guys. When I was in there the other night +she was hugging and kissing all of them. She knew all their names," said B in +a disgruntled manner. + "You've seen her there?" asked A. + "Yeah. I took her there one night and she was flirting with all the young +guys. She knew every one of them," said B angrily. + "She always gets really drunk," added Steve. + "And then she'll do anyone," said B. "But I don't want to do her. I could +do her anytime I want, but I don't want to see what she looks like after +having had three kids." + "Yeah, I know what you mean," replied A. + "You know man, I brought her over to meet my friend Roy once. You know, +the one who's an auto body mechanic?" Steve and A nodded. "Well, he took a +liking to her and I had to leave her there alone with him! And then he +actually GAVE her one of his cars to drive around in. I couldn't fucking +believe it!" exclaimed B. + "Is that thee Ford I saw her driving a couplee of weeks ago?" asked +Steve. "That's a nice car." + "Yeah, that's the one. Now she's driving around in his car picking up +young guys," grumbled B. + "Hey I hear her sister and her daughter are the same way," chided Steve. + "Her daughter's seventeen, right? Too young," mused A, looking down at +the tile floor. + "Yeah," answered Steve. "But then again, she's not too much like her +mother. No one's quite like Cathy..." + "Hey, I could do Cathy in a minute, man," said B with a wave of his arm. +"But I just don't want to see what she looks like after having three kids." B +turned to Steve. "Hey do you know anyone that did her?" he asked Steve. + Steve shook his head and developed a slight grin. + "Hey man, why don't you do her this weekend and tell me how it was?" +asked B, hopefully. Steve's response was another shake of his head and a grin. + B looked at the floor for a moment and cracked a half-smile. "When she +was drunk one night at Joe's she almost fell down and I put my arm around her. +Her waist DID seem kinda slender.. and nice...," His voice trailed off as his +eyes stared ahead. Steve and A exchanged a smirky glance. + "She's at this bar a lot," noted A. "Does she have a lot of money to +drink with?" + "No. Get the picture?" answered Steve. + "Yeah, I get it," A responded with a laugh. + "Hey I think I'll call her later," mused B. "You got her nummber?" he +asked Steve. + "Yeah, it's home though," said Steve. + "Oh, I'll hafta get it from you later," said B as he rose. "You heading +over to Joe's now?" + "Yeah," answered Steve, rising. + "How bout you?" B asked A. + A stood up and stretched. "Yeah, let's go", he said, slapping B on the +shoulder. + Although it certainly couldn't be discerned from their conversation, when +A and B turned around and faced my direction, their faces showed that they +were approximately in their earlt thirties. + The three headed towards the door and walked out into the early autumn +evening, laughing. + + + + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +:ATI, changing the way people : + read for over 2 years. +:ATI, a freedom paper. : + ATI, a way of life, patriots / +:ATI, more than just a - - + newspaper, it's the rag / +:of justice!!! / + - - - - - - - - - - - + + + + + Notes from Ground Zero....... + + Bush was in NJ and Virginia the friday before Election Day to help out in +the gubernatorial races in those states. And when Bush came to NJ, he visited +none other than my town Bloomfield. + Most of the spectators could not get close to the grandstand, however. +This was because it was sectioned off with gates, and a ticket had to be +obtained from the Republican comittee in advance. There were a bunch of +neo-Nazi Yuppie-type young Rebublicans guarding the entrance to the sectioned-o +ff area, taking tickets. But they weren't very smart, as I outsmarted them and +snuck in anyway. Some time later, I encountered a guy I knew in high school +who I used to argue with about politics. And he was carrying a pro-choice +sign, to my surprise. + "Hey man, good to see you're on the right side now!" I exclaimed. "How +did you get in with that sign? They only allow pro-Republican signs on this +side." + "I just walked in," he answered. "No one stopped me." + "Hey, you can't carry that over here!" shouted one of the yuppie Young +Republicans. "Get out of here." + "Well, I see plenty of YOUR signs on this side," I answered. + "THESE signs," began the right-wing fascist, "are cleared with the Secret +Service to appear before the President and be photographed by the media. YOUR +signs are not. They could have subversive messages on them!" + "Oh come on, that's ridiculous..." I began, but was interrupted by a very +tall, muscular man in a trench coat who walked swiftly up to my friend and I, +grabbing us by the arm. + "All right, out you go," he said, pushing us outside the entrance into +the crowd on the other side. My friend and I stepped back inside, but he +pushed us back out again. I was about to ask him what authority he had to +throw us out, but gave up and joined the pro-choice demonstrators, whose +numbers were impressive. + Some of the young Republicans tried to block us by holding their signs in +a way so that ours could not be seen. But they tired of that, and lowered +them. A few minutes later, two young men tried to block our signs by actually +having one climb on the other's shoulders and holding up the American flag. +Ironic, eh? + "Anyone got a light?" I asked loudly. The demonstrators laughed. + + Well, anyway, both Republican gubernatorial candidates Bush tried to help +that day lost. Jim Florio won in NJ, and in Virginia, the first Black governor +in American history was elected. + Speaking of the Bushs, I kinda like Barbara Bush. I think she's more, er, +real than ol' Nancy Reagan, who always had that sick smile pasted on her face +that looked sooooooo phony. Anyway, here's someting Barbara Bush said that I +really liked: There was a rumor going around saying that she weighed 135 +pounds (which is impossible). Our First Lady responded to that rumor by +saying, "I was BORN weighing 135!". All right! + "Hard Copy" is another yellow-journalistic, exploitation show that's +aired on CBS.

Then, a few days ago they showed "home movies" of Leona Helmsley. +Gimme a break. + Peru - with all the hype about Colombia and the drug cartels, I didn't +know that actually 60% of the coccaine in the US comes from Peru. Peru is a +mess. They have a social democratic gov't that's failing, 2 bands of comunist +guerrillas that control part of the country. And it's claimed that the drug +lords pay the guerrillas with guns and money to allow them to grow coccaine in +their territory. (Now THAT'S a disgrace) One of the guerrilla bands is the +Maoist, hard-line communist Shining Path, which has ties to the Revolutionary +Communist Party and the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade in the US +(remember the guy who took the flag-burning case to the Supreme Court? He's a +member of those organizations). Anyway, now a right-wing dude wants to run for +president in Peru. Ha. He won't have much luck straightening up the mess if +he wins. + Berlin-- we're seeing history in the making. Hey, did you know that each +first-time E German visitor to W. Germany gets about $55 from the W. German +government to spend? Good deal! But, the exodus to W. Germany seems to be over +for now. Most E. Germans ony want to visit the west, citing drugs, homelessness +problems in W. Germany, and the fact that the pay about 1/10 as much as W. +Germans do for rent, and the fact that their friends and family is in the East +as reasons for not emigrating. + + El Salvador -- Are we about to see the guerrillas win the civil war? I +don't see either side willing to compromise much in a political solution, so I +would hope that the guerrillas take over and end it already. Many people in +the US are calling for an end to aid to the Salvadoran government, but being +that we've been giving them about $1 million per DAY for over 10 years, I +don't see that happening. + Well, talk at ya later... + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + +We're just about out of space, so look for ATI45 real soon! + +Take care and be creative! + diff --git a/textfiles.com/magazines/ATI/ati-45.txt b/textfiles.com/magazines/ATI/ati-45.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..8e8c097c --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/magazines/ATI/ati-45.txt @@ -0,0 +1,500 @@ + + **** ******** ******** + ****** ******** ******** + ** ** ** ** + ******** ** ** + ** ** ** ** + ** ** ** ******** + ** ** ** ******** + c i n + t m c + i e . + v s + i , + s + t + + + Issue #45 December 5, 1989!! + Special Bits-n-Pieces Issue! + + Our address: Activist Times, Inc. + P.O.

Where to start. First off, I apologize for the late start. I will +never let there be a gap this big in our issues again! I had a difficult +semester, and such... but, from now on, ATI will be coming out every 2-3 +weeks at the most! + Lots of things have happened since our last issue. But the one that +comes to mind at the present is the LOD/Phrack bust. At the present, we +know that Knight Lightning and The Prophet have been indicted on several +counts, related to the alleged theft of the Bell South Enhanced 911 (E911) +program and related text files, and their subsequent release in Phrack (the +offending item appeared in Phrack 24). They are expected to be tried +sometime +this summer. + In conjunction with the indictments of KL and TP, LOD members The Mentor + +and Erik Bloodaxe were raided at their homes in Austin, and their equipment +was confiscated. Mentor's place of employment, Steve Jackson Games (host of +the Illuminati BBS) was raided, and all their computer equipment was also +taken. The equipment taken may never be returned, and SJ Games estimates +their losses in lost revenue and opportunities to be about $1/2 million. +Jolnet, the system that TP allegedly used to transfer the E911 files to KL +for editing in Phrack was also confiscated. And I have received word that +indictments will be handed down within a few weeks for the Austin +members of LOD. + The indictments of TP and KL appeared in Pirate magazine, and the +Computer Underground Digest.

Are we really upping past +half a million dollars a year per citizen? Do some math. No better, +just figure in your head. Get good at that. For every person living +on an income of 10,000 a year there must be a person or five pulling in +a few hundred million in order for THAT dollar amount to move!!! + I guess my rhetorical question here is (not to knock a fine org +like peace corps but) if instead we gave each citizen even a mere +quarter million dollars a year for the next 4 years, how many people +would opt to leave the job market, manage about half their assets, and +blow the rest travelling the world on their own and perhaps even better +representing their homeland while abroad? + Hand *me* a couple hundred K, America. I'll handle my part of a personal +overseas peace mission in such a way that Chris Dodd's hopes of the Corps +growing without becoming "too beurocratized" will surely realize. + How about our surplus of average guitarists wandering around the +world teaching blues, jazz, and country? You know, it's not just for +Lee Atwater anymore. And wider, it's certainly not just for Republicans +anymore, Mr. Rowland. Oh sorry, your governorness. + +MOOR OH PINION? U WAN MOOR OH PINION?

No one was killed but there were +titanium, berylium and aluminum scrapings EVERYWHERE. + Remember when you dragged a 2-ton channel buouy from Long Island sound +half way up the estuary leaving it behind somewhere between the Hess dock +and General Dynamic's launchpads? Oh, it was a cloudy day, and we each +could've used that buouy so as to not ram ferries, but we had to just do +the best we could. + Remember back when someone stole you and you got all the way into the +Atlantic Ocean before your rear admiral (or was that the naval admiral??) +realized you were missing? + Oh submarine, ever since Leonardo Di Caprio, I mean Da Vinci thunk you up +you've been rambunctious, unpredictable, wild and full of wonder. Oh and +unction too. Or. Or, was that sea men? + Maybe we shouldn't have put you in water after all. Would you have been +better off a helicopter? (never mind, remember those skiers?) +Or maybe you're not clutzy at all. Maybe it's your riders' faults. +Of course half a million soldiers and sailors can't be wrong, can they? + Can they? + Can they. + Maybe one of the only national secrets worth keeping classified for ANY 10 +years at a time is that those humans tasked with protecting our freedom "back here at +home" suffer an incompetence that GOES ALL THE WAY UP. + + . + . . + . . + . . + . . . . . + + +Egge's Great Music. A Review by Gary R. + +My attitude towards Austin's collective musical taste has vastly +improved since Ana Egge was voted a couple of awards. She's probably +the most underrated performer in Austin or the world right now. + She's reinventing traditional American folk music like was done on +old albums like American Beauty, Nashville Skyline Rag and The Band. +It's been a long time to hear somebody have so many great tunes on +one album with such sweet artistry. There's a lot of hot artists with +one or two hit songs but the rest of their CD effort is lame. + I hope she continues on the steep learning curve musically (lot of +work and time) that she obviously went through during her teens. One +of the things the sixties proved is that you don't have to compromise +your talent or enter into some bad deal with a major label to make a +good living playing music if you've got the special talent that +crosses the thin blue line beyond. I think she's got it - not many +people do. + just another egge fan + GARY + +More Pears Of D's: +Marsha Jan +to the tune of I Woke Up In Love This Morning. +As performed by the Partridge School.

Washington DC to sing for Bill. Well, among +other things. I won't ask what you were doing Saturday right around +10. It was the normal mundane things for all of us. You, Shelly, +Monsenor Gerardi and me. + Sunday night around 10 pm. What were you doing? Shelly and I were +singing folksongs around a campfire somewhere just outside of DC. +We had spent the day on the Whitehouse lawn gathering with a couple +thousand people from all over the world to discuss many things, but +primarily assassinations, murders and human rights violations that +have been happening the last few years on our watch. + Yes. Every one of us. + Back to what were you doing at 10 pm Sunday night? Gerardi, the +Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Guatemala was getting his +head bashed in with a large piece of cement until he died in a pool +of his blood in his very own garage. + I can assure you, within the next 10 years I will write you with +proof that his assassin was a graduate of the School of Americas in +Fort Benning, GA. For now we have to assume that this murder may or +may not be linked to SOA or even anything the least bit political. + It is 10pm Monday, April 27, 1998. In the year of our brand new +Ronald Reagan building. I am on Amtrak heading home writing this +while I weep like a child. This happened on my watch, my friend. +My taxes are up to date as of April 15, 1998 -- or was that Dec. 31 +1997? No matter. For this, I believe I am partially responsible for +this 75 year old Monsenor's violent death. I believe you are fully +responsible and so is your President. We all continue sharing guilt +until we communally stop funding this abhorrance disguised as a school. + Almost 200 of the men, women and others in Congress, I mean men and +women; Republican, Democrat, and other have already expressed desire +to support shutting it down. + Tomorrow Sam Gejdenson (my hometown congressperson) will be addressing +my friends who are camping out one more night while I ride home to +prepare my dropping out of UConn with straight A's. + I hope Chris Dodd, Newtus Gingrich, Johnny Rowland and you are all savvy +enough to show up there tomorrow as well. I would be there if I could. +It's important that I spend Tuesday making $5.35 per hour retroactively +funding this vacation I just gave myself. This afternoon I met friends +of the Monsenor on the Capitol Steps. I also met two Senators, 5 Congress +People, and God knows how many high school chorus competitors who will +never be able to sing the National Anthem the same way again, having met +us, and sung with us. + Most of you will probably wonder why I didn't just spend 4 days drunk +in Middlesex dorm, University of Connecticut beating up cops and tipping +over automobiles followed by a Sunday watching bowling, golf and bad sitcoms. + Sorry, I have spent most my life feeling I'm never doing enough to +help make the world a better place. My mother and father taught me that. +My church taught me that. So did the Boy Scouts of Amerika and Groton +Heights School teachers. + Business can NEVER be "as per usual" for me ever again, my friend. I have +cried on the Capitol steps more than twice now in 10 years. How many more +times? I ask. I am now a full-time SOA shutter-upper. Wanna buy a t-shirt? =) + Never again, America. I will not let you do that again. + Not on my watch. Not in your life. Not in a million years, never again. +Groton, CT. USA. Nunca Mas! Need I say "Basta Ya???" +10pm will never be the same again for me. I will blink some number of tears +each night for a 75 year old man who never hurt anybody in his whole life who +is now deader than a doornail.

Some of +these artists can range from Jimi Hendrix and Elvis Presley to +Robbie Robertson and Rita Coolidge. Nammy winner presentations will be +based on musical contributions released in the US throughout the 1997 +calendar year. Two consecutive voting ballots are +being distributed nationally in a variety of national publications +including: Rhythm Music Magazine, Native Peoples, Indian Artist and others. +Five to seven live performances will be interspersed with approximately 20 +Awards presentations. Confirmed performers include: Robbie Robertson, +Joanne Shenandoah, Robert Mirabal, and RedBone. + +Performance participants will incorporate both contemporary deliveries +and some traditional influences in their music, traditional meaning; +vocals performed in tribal dialect utilizing non-electric +instrumentation ranging from drums, rattles, gourds, bells or flute. + +A special HALL OF FAME tributes will be made to the now deceased +visionaries such as; Buddy Red Bow and Jimi Hendrix. This could take +place in a speech form or as a live performance. As dance and song have +played an important role to Native American culture, a leading dance +troupe should be featured as part of the opening of this Awards ceremony. +Additionally, the Awards show will showcase the music culture of its host, +the Mashantucket Pequots. + +However, the Awards will avoid taking any political positions, +as this is a forum only to commemorate and celebrate the survival +and traditions of Native American music culture. + + + /\/\ /\ /^ < () + + +Now: The Activist Times won't avoid taking any political positions. +As ours is a forum protected by God, the First Ammendment the Earth +my mother, and some unnamed essences to name a few. + +So, how are you doing? + + ::::::::::::: :::::: :::: ::::: ::: ::::::::::::::::: + +I do believe that's the most unusual use of that expression for the most +unusual event I've ever seen, but I've gotta report... + + "Looks like this one wants to grow another," says the construction +worker just outside the administration building as he's straining his +triceps to close a pair of bolt cutters that are about as tall as I am +around a copper twist about the diameter of my wrists. + + That is the news from the Point, watching someone prune power +at Plante's old palace. + + ,/ + ,/ + ,/ + THE YUPPIE JOGGING + CEREMONY: Notes From a + Native Anthropologist. by + Beverly Slapin. + When we began our dig, we were not prepared for the + enormous amount of material we found about this ancient + civilization of previously unknown people, who were + called "yuppies." No one knows what this name means or + its origins. + One of the more bizarre ceremonies we learned about + came as a result of several pairs of shoes with the + legend, "NIKE," assumed to be one of their gods. + "NIKE" was found emblazened on many items of their + clothing, but most notably shoes. From these artifacts + we learned of the early morning "jogging ceremony," + thought to be the only ritual in which they attempted + to demonstrate their oneness with nature. + The ceremony was said to have begun with a "shower.," + in which the people simulated a short rainstorm, during + which they took off all of their clothing symbolizing + the innocence and vulnerability of birth, and allowed + the water to wet their bodies. During this part of the + ceremony the people often chanted to the spirits, an + entreaty for magic powers. At the same time they + rubbed their bodies with a sacred object which they + called "So-ap." Perhaps named after another of their + deities. It seemed to be a method of cleansing. + After the cleansing ritual they would run and + every so often they would stop and time their heartbeats, + a way of asking creator to continue allowing them to live + another day. + Many did the cleansing ceremony again after jogging + and then congregated in small groups where they feasted + on sacred foods called "creosants," and "cappijeno," as + a thanks offering to the spirits. + + | + /|\ + -- - -- + \|/ + | + + /and now / + /a word / + /from our/ + /numbers / + +http://bulldog.unca.edu/~tmpeery +http://www.greenpeace.org/~comms/nukes/chernob/rep02.html +http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~stolal/silicon_snake_oil.html +http://www.i1.net/~mega +http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1998-04/11/016l-041198-idx.html +http://www.copvcia.com +http://www.mojones.com +http://www.danwinter.com/yarrow/ +http://www.angelfire.com/wi/kokopeli/tek.html +http://digital.net/~cheshire/zap/murphy.htm +http://www.teleport.com/~obu/hell.html +http://www.nativeamerican.com +http://pw2.netcom.com/~sleight/interactivemagic.html +http://www.pacificnews.org/jinn +http://www.rotten.com +http://www.geocities.com/researchtriangle/lab/5851 +http://www.interactive.net/~bridget +http://www.prensalibre.com +http://www.vfemmes.com/letters_html/43.html + + + +To the Editor of ATI: +Has anyone seen the fake drugwar footage on TV? +I haven't yet. +s/ +Mark Weisenheimer +(401) +Year 2000 Compliant Since 1965 + + + + + "IC," said the hacker; as he picked up some cobol +and basically saw. + + +(PAWN) Austrialialia - Austrialialian police have been unable to +recommend a prosecution for the following scam: A company takes out +a newspaper advertisement offering imported hard core pornographic +videos.

Senator Edwin Muskie, himself a victim, remarked from the +floor of Congress that this surveillance was "a dangerous threat +to fundamental constitutional rights." The power of the +environmental movement and the challenge it posed to business-as- +usual made it an instant target for FBI suppression. + + Twenty years later on May 24, 1990, a shrapnel-wrapped car +bomb went off under noted Earth First! activist Judi Bari's car +seat, nearly killing her and injuring fellow organizer Darryl +Cherney. Even more frightening to Bari, as she woke up in the +hospital intensive care unit under armed guard, was the +realization that a major FBI "counter-intelligence" operation +against Earth First! was underway. + + Within minutes of their arrival on the scene of the blast, +the FBI was falsely characterizing nonviolent environmental +organizers Bari and Cherney as "terrorists". Within hours, the +Oakland Police Department had arrested and detained them for +transporting explosives. It was not enough that the two leaders +had been physically blown up; the FBI immediately began to +orchestrate a disinformation campaign designed to discredit and +imprison these activists and destroy Earth First! + + What could make nonviolent environmental organizers the +targets of repression? Back in May 1990, Earth First! in the +redwood region was gearing up for "Mississippi Summer in the +California Redwoods," a bold call that would draw thousand of +activists to Mendocino and Humboldt counties. Earth First!'s +fierce, grassroots, pro-labor campaign of mass nonviolent civil +disobedience was determined to stop corporate timber's +liquidation of the old-growth forests. Even in the face of the +attempted assassination of the key organizers and a well- +orchestrated FBI disinformation campaign, thousands came to +Redwood Summer, bringing national attention to the destruction of +the redwood forest ecosystem. It is a testimony to the power of +the movement mobilized by Judi Bari that today, eight years +later, protests to save the old growth forests are more dynamic +than ever. + ______ + + It is absolutely foolish to suggest that the FBI was + involved in anything that would obstruct justice. + -- Richard W.

(other two were/are seen in + ATI129 and ATI131) + + This report was written in association with the Redwood + Summer Justice Project, which pursues Judi Bari's and Darryl + Cherney's civil rights case against the FBI and Oakland + Police. + + * * * + + +FBI LEGACY + + From the moment of its birth in 1908 as the Justice +Department's "Bureau of Investigation," a key part of the FBI's +mission has been to suppress political dissent. In the early +years they used deportations and the career-destroying Palmer +raids to target union leaders and communists. Burglary, +blacklisting, infiltration, and disruption became standard +operating procedure. Later, when the Supreme Court ruled that the +Smith Act specifically could not be used to target communists, +the FBI took it undercover, developing its "counter-intelligence" +program dubbed COINTELPRO. In the words of then-director J. Edgar +Hoover, COINTELPRO was designed to "expose, disrupt, misdirect, +discredit, or otherwise neutralize" groups whose views the FBI +deemed threatening to the status quo. + +RICHARD W. HELD: CONSTITUTIONAL ASSASSIN + + Richard W. Held was Special Agent-in-Charge of the San +Francisco FBI Office 1985-1993 during its extensive COINTELPRO +operations against Earth First! Of all the COINTELPRO operatives, +Richard Wallace Held's past is particularly brutal and haunting. +Held began his career in 1968 in the Los Angeles office of the +FBI. He quickly became the lead agent in the "racial matters" +squad which focused on what the FBI called "black extremists". +Just one year later he was involved in targeting Los Angeles +Black Panther Party leader Geronimo ji jaga (Pratt) for +"neutralization." Framed for a murder he did not commit, Geronimo +spent 25 years in state prison. He was released in 1997 after a +judge overturned his conviction based on prosecutorial +misconduct. The key witness in the case, Julius Butler, was an +informant for the FBI, LAPD, and the L.A. District Attorney's +office; that information was kept secret during Geronimo's trial. + + An uncanny ability to lie under oath, commonly referred to +as "testa-lying," is a trademark of rogue law enforcement +professionals. Under oath in a deposition for Geronimo's federal +appeal, Held remarked on his relationship with Julius Butler: "I +think that it may have been relevant, your honor, depending on +what the contact was at the time and what else I knew, because I +don't recall really knowing much about the case at all anyway." +In fact, Held was coordinating COINTELPRO operations in L.A., and +Geronimo was at the top of the "Key Black Extremists" list. + + Even more damning, Held was the control agent for informant +Julius Butler. In 2 1/2 years, Held recorded contact and meetings +with Butler 33 times. Contrast Held's repeated denials of +knowledge and responsibility with the cold, hard facts, including +this from a 1/28/70 memo by Held to the FBI Director: "I request +Bureau approval ... to attack, expose, and ridicule the BPP... +operation number one is designed to challenge the legitimacy of +the authority exercised by Elmer Gerard Pratt." + + After a few years in Washington, DC as a headquarters +intelligence supervisor, Held was back in the field on the Pine +Ridge Reservation three days after the firefight between federal +agents and the American Indian Movement (AIM) during which two +FBI agents and an Indian man were killed. An FBI memo dated +7/26/75 to the Washington Bureau's Intelligence Division notes, +"Supervisor Richard Wallace Held arrived at Pine Ridge, South +Dakota Indian Reservation Command Post on 6/29/75, to assist in +the RESMURS investigation. He was assigned three important phases +of this investigation; namely, the correlation of Bureau-wide +informants into the investigation; the establishment of the +confidential fund; and the coordination of all intelligence +information as it relates to the American Indian Movement (AIM) +and the RESMURS investigations... throughout the country ..." + + Held's work contributed to the framing of noted political +prisoner Leonard Peltier, and to covering up the truth about the +agents' deaths and the still unsolved killings of 70 AIM +supporters on the Pine Ridge Reservation during the extensive +FBI's operations. + + From 1979 until 1985, Held was Special Agent-in-Charge of +the San Juan, Puerto Rico office. There he presided over a +politically-oriented paramilitary campaign against the Puerto +Rican Independence movement, creating files on 74,000 +individuals. In his last operation in Puerto Rico, Held led 300 +FBI agents and U.S. marshals in raids all over the island, +trashing office and homes and arresting scores of activists. One +advocate of Puerto Rican independence said the raids made "even +the desire for independence a crime." Held left Puerto Rico in +1985 to head the FBI's San Francisco, California field office. + +HELD TURNS HIS SIGHTS ON EARTH FIRST! + + In the year before the car bombing of Bari and Cherney, a +shocking and classic political disruption campaign was conducted +against Earth First! in Northern California. In the months just +prior to Redwood Summer, the disruption was intense. Bari, +Cherney and other Earth First! organizers received over 30 death +threats from March to May, 1990. Fake Earth First! press releases +were circulated in the community and to the press, falsely +connecting the Earth First!ers with violence and sabotage. Local +law enforcement refused to investigate the death threats, +signaling their tolerance for violence against environmentalists. +"If you turn up dead, Judi," Mendocino County Sheriff's Sgt. +Steve Satterwhite told Bari, "then we'll investigate." + + The FBI's very act of blaming Bari and Cherney for the +bombing that nearly killed them, and their repeated feeding of +damaging and bald-faced lies to the press about evidence in the +case, are both classic components of a "counter-intelligence" +campaign. The FBI's own files refer to the use of informants, yet +even now the full scope of their actions remains hidden. + +COINCIDENCE OR COINTELPRO? + + In depositions in Bari's and Cherney's civil rights lawsuit, +FBI agents repeatedly denied that there was an investigation +against Earth First! in California prior to the bombing. Yet, +documents at first withheld and blacked out, then later released, +show that the FBI field reports written at the time of the +bombing stated Bari and Cherney were "subjects of an +investigation in the terrorist field." + + The Arizona FBI Sting Operation In 1988, a major FBI sting +operation was launched against Earth First! in Arizona. In a +cynical attempt to discredit and criminalize Earth First!, the +FBI spent $3 million and employed over 50 FBI agents, extensive +wiretaps, body wires and overt entrapment in order to arrest +Arizona Earth First!ers for conspiracy to down power lines. + + At the heart of Operation THERMCON (short for "Thermite +Conspiracy") were undercover FBI agent/provocateur Michael Fain +and informant Ron Frazier, who infiltrated a group of +environmental activists in Prescott. Though unsuccessful, the FBI +worked long and hard to entrap these individuals into using +explosives to down power lines. Apparently the FBI sought to +involve Earth First! with explosives in order to create a +sensational case against them. This would serve to discredit +Earth First! and provide justification to conduct illegal +investigations and operations against the political and First +Amendment activity of the environmental movement nationwide. +Busted on May 30, 1989, in the Arizona desert, four people were +caught with a cutting torch attempting to disable a power +transmission tower leading to a pumping station of the central +Arizona project (CAP). CAP is a billion dollar pork barrel +project to carry Colorado River water uphill across hundreds of +miles of desert to water the lawns of Phoenix and Tucson. + + Judi Bari laughingly called this, "the only joint FBI-Earth +First! action ever to take place." Undercover FBI agents picked +the target, drove the truck, and taught the activists to use an +acetylene torch. The FBI paid informant Ron Frazier $54,000 cash +in exchange for implicating the Earth First!ers, and granted him +immunity from prosecution for various crimes. + ______ + + "The first lesson in activism is that the person that offers + to get the dynamite is always the FBI agent," joked Judi + Bari. + ______ + +(CON'T next issue...) + + + +June 3, 1998.

Continue to spew your +intelligent poisons into our farmland and food to protect us from the +sinister insects and microorganisms. Prepare our food and even serve it +to us, that we may have more time to serve you. We will gladly consume +whatever you hand down to us, for you are all-knowing. + +Please pacify us with a plethora of prefabricated entertainment, as we +have forgotten how to entertain each other.

Similarly commodify any remaining life activities, +so that our angst-ridden existence is no more challenging than a series +of multiple-choice questions. + +Most important, guide your wise politicians financially as they strive +to make this region of the planet more cost-effective for you by +abolishing the evil worker rights laws, corporate taxation, and +environmental protections that offend you deeply and drive you away from +us.

(other two were seen in + ATI129 and ATI130) + + This report was written in association with the Redwood + Summer Justice Project, which pursues Judi Bari's and Darryl + Cherney's civil rights case against the FBI and Oakland + Police. + + * * * + + +FBI LIES EXPOSED + + It was in the context of such a massive undercover operation +against Earth First! that the FBI terrorist squad responded en +masse to the bombing of Bari and Cherney in May of 1990. Special +Agent John Conway, who was one of the main case agents assigned +to the bombing, had also handled the San Francisco FBI office's +substantial field work on the Arizona "THERMCON" sting. + + It is striking that after failing in a major COINTELPRO +operation to tie Earth First! with explosives in Arizona, the FBI +again tried to smear and defame nonviolent environmental +activists as terrorists by falsely charging Bari and Cherney with +transporting the bomb that was meant to kill them. + + In his deposition in the Bari/Cherney lawsuit, Held insists +that he was completely out of the loop and unaware of the case, +even though other FBI agents contradict his testimony and have +said that they briefed him on a regular basis. + +KEY QUESTIONS REMAIN + + Were Judi Bari, Darryl Cherney or Earth First! subjects of +an ongoing investigation in "the terrorist field" as agents +claimed in FBI reports? If so, where are the files? Was this +investigation authorized? Were they under FBI surveillance when +they were bombed? What does the FBI know about who bombed Judi +Bari and Darryl Cherney? And finally, why have they never made +any attempt to catch the real bomber? + + In search of answers to these questions, the Redwood Summer +Justice Project will continue to expose secret FBI operations +against Earth First! as we pursue the civil rights lawsuit +against the FBI and the Oakland Police. + + * * * +_________________________________________________________________ + + COINTELPRO: THE FBI'S SECRET WAR AGAINST DEMOCRACY +_________________________________________________________________ + + This article refers to the actions of FBI Special Agent + Richard Wallace Held. For clarification, his father Richard + G. Held was Associate Director of the FBI. + + * + + * Between 1987 and 1990, in a conspiracy to entrap and "pop + Dave Foreman [founder of Earth First!] to send a message," + the FBI spent $3 million, used 50 agents and conducted more + than 1000 hours of wiretaps. A key informant was paid a + total of $54,000. + + * 1981-1990, activists opposed to the U.S. foreign policy in + Central America (as well as a dozen U.S. Senators and + Congressmen) were subject to FBI harassment. The FBI's + "investigation" of CISPES (Committee in Solidarity with the + People of El Salvador) involved 59 field offices and 200 + incidents of death threats, intimidation, and break-ins. + + * In August 1985, Richard W. Held led 300 FBI agents and U.S. + marshals in raids throughout Puerto Rico, trashing offices + and homes and arresting scores of activists. The FBI's + overall operations resulted in the creation of files on + 74,000 individuals. + + * In 1975, Richard W. Held was involved in the FBI's cover-up + of the 70 deaths of American Indian Movement supporters at + Pine Ridge in South Dakota. On the scene after an FBI + operation which resulted in the deaths of two FBI agents and + one Indian man, Held helped lay the groundwork for the + framing of AIM leader Leonard Peltier for murder. Peltier + remains wrongfully imprisoned to this day. + + * On April 27, 1970, Richard W. Held requested and received + permission from J. Edgar Hoover to "neutralize" actress Jean + Seberg. Held placed an anonymous letter with a Hollywood + gossip columnist regarding the parentage of Seberg's unborn + child. On August 7, 1970, Seberg, nearly 7 months pregnant, + attempted suicide. On August 23rd, she gave birth + prematurely to a baby girl. Weighing less than 4 pounds, the + baby died. Seberg's transgression? Her support of the Black + Panther Party. + + * Beginning in 1970, FBI agent Richard W. Held, an architect + of COINTELPRO vs. the Black Panthers in L.A., helped + orchestrate the 25-year false imprisonment of Geronimo ji + jaga (Pratt). Held and others engineered the frame-up of + Geronimo by withholding critical information that the + prosecution's key witness, Julius Butler, was an FBI + operative. + + * On Dec. 4, 1969, Chicago police and the FBI assassinated + Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. Hampton, who was + alive but wounded after the initial assault, was then + executed at close range. William O'Neal, an FBI informant, + provided a detailed floor plan of Hampton's apartment; he + was paid $30,000. + + * In 1963, the FBI turned their attention to Martin Luther + King, Jr., and sought to destroy him through a campaign of + wiretaps and harassment. In one incident, the FBI confronted + King with a compilation of secretly recorded tapes, + threatening to release them to the press if King did not + commit suicide before accepting the Nobel Peace Prize. + + * From 1943-63, the federal civil rights case Socialist + Workers Party v. Attorney General documents decades of + illegal FBI break-ins and 10 million pages of surveillance + records. The FBI paid an estimated 1,600 informants + $1,680,592 and used 20,000 days of wiretaps to undermine + legitimate political organizing. + + * * * + + Sources available on request.

Reverse Speech +is the underlying subconscious verbal expression behind spoken language. +Through its documentation and analysis, one can extrude covert factual +data as well as grasping concepts from the foundations of personality +and behavior. This provides an unprecedented capacity to achieve rapid, +penetrating insight into the actions, character and motivation of any +individual. + +A Reverse Speech investigation involves the analysis of audio recordings +played backwards. Rigorous checkpoints are applied to determine the +validity of statements that appear in reverse. Valid speech reversals +are considered expressions of the conscious or unconscious mind of the +speaker. They are a reliable indication of that individual’s true +feelings and their understanding of the issue being discussed in +forwards speech. + +The following transcript is the result of a Reverse Speech investigation +into the statements of Iraqi UN Ambassador Nizar Hamdoon. + +Summary: Prohibited weapons exist in the Persian Gulf. Iraq possesses +the will to fight a destructive war. They are playing a game of strategy +with the UN and may be outwitting them. Iraq is not being honest in +revealing their VX capacity.

Butler say that Iraq has-I think a +phrased he used was never told the truth about the VX program and that +your country continually revised its declarations as additional evidence +came out. What is your response to that? +AMBASSADOR HAMDOON: +2) Well, we revised our declaration not only on this weapon [but also on +the other] stuff many times because the UNSCOM has always come back to +us requesting some new form, some additional stuff here and there. +REVERSE: With a mass slaughter. + +The problem with the lab's findings +------------------------------------ +MARGARET WARNER: Now, you heard Amb. Butler say, when I asked him what +he wanted from Iraq now, he said he wants more details and verifiable +details on the nature and extent of the VX program. Do you foresee a +problem confined with that? What is your position on that? +AMBASSADOR HAMDOON: We have promised that whatever we had, whatever we +could get, because we told him that everything that was in our capacity +we provided to them. +3) [But if there anything else that] we could do in the next few weeks +under . . . +REVERSE: Says lie.

And he has just admitted that +Baghdad is continuing its cooperation in a satisfactory way. +REVERSE: They already blew it. + +MARGARET WARNER: And now your government issued this statement from +Baghdad, saying it would reconsider its relationship with the inspectors +if sanctions weren't lifted immediately. Can you explain that? What do +you mean by that? +AMBASSADOR HAMDOON: +6) Well, Iraq was trying hard, I mean, to [clear all the files by this +year, by the end of this year]. And if it doesn't look at any point that +the sanctions will be lifted, Iraq will be reconsidering its policy. +REVERSE: They're gonna go with grace. Saddam play. He grabs the +victories. + +MARGARET WARNER: All right. Now, Mr. Ambassador, just so I'm absolutely +clear here, are you saying that Iraq now possesses absolutely no VX? +AMBASSADOR HAMDOON: +7) [We possess absolutely no V]X, nor any other prohibited weapon. +REVERSE: This fax says a few. + +Jon Kelly is a student of Reverse Speech under David John Oates.

He can't keep his +pants on, just like the doll that's sellin' like hotcakes +all over the world, the "Bubba" doll that you must have seen +over there. + He is, among other things, a sex maniac. He's also, +as a major British newspaper recently pointed out, +"stupid dumb SOB". Their Swiss counterpart plastered on their +exceptionally large, boldface headlines: +"The President Is A Fool!" + He's pulling the USA even lower in the gutter than it's +been the past few years that he's been in "office". +The USA is now thought of as a world dictator, and the dictator +snorts coke, murders his opponents and can't keep his sex organ +in his shorts. The Swiss used to adore Herr Clinton and the +country he presides over. No more. Like the rest of the world, +they are beginning to nurture a hatred of the USA and their +cokehead "leader" which will take many years to extinguish. +The cover this week calls the USA the "World Dictator" and +the extensive article tells how Billy Blythe a/k/a +Bill Clinton is: +"...everything from a sex degenerate to a cocaine dealer to +a murderer." This is only one of hundreds of similar +magazine/newspaper covers that look like this. + If you'd travel a bit outside the USA, you'd be absolutely +ashamed to see what the world thinks of America and Americans +today. They're a laughing stock, especially El Presidente. +When an America-loving conservative magazine like "FACTS" +puts something on the cover like the mentioned picture, +you know Billy Blythe's damaged the reputation of +the country more than all the other presidents +in history combined. + He makes Georgey Porgy look like an honourable man, +and he, too, was a sex pervert, but at least he raped +and murdered six-year-old boys like "Brandon" +behind-the-scenes, in a secret lodge in Nebraska, +not in the Oval Office. + In Liberty, +MICHAEL BOREN WILLIAMS +Freedom Fighter in Exile +http://www.kmf.org/williams +http://www.williamsmusic.simplenet.com + + + +Marco, +Thank you very much for visiting our e-zine and leaving a message +on our guestbook.

"However, there + has always been a tacit understanding between the Church + and the meek that this 'blessed' status was conditional upon + their inheritance of the earth, an event which seems + unlikely to happen anytime in the foreseeable future. + Our relationship, therefore, must be terminated." +"Screw the meek," the pope added. + Citing "two millennia of inaction and non-achievement" + by the world's impoverished and downtrodden, the pope + contended that the meek's historic inability to improve + their worldly status constituted "bad faith" on their part. +"Twenty centuries should have been more than enough time for them to +inherit the earth," the Supreme Pontiff said. +"For years, the Catholic Church has made every effort to help them, +but at some point, enough is enough. We are patient, but we are +not saints." + Catholic leaders around the world were vocal in their + support of the pope. +"The meek have abused their blessed status for far too long now," +said Bernard Law, Archbishop of Boston. "From the Renaissance to the +Industrial Revolution to the current Global Information Age, the meek +have always somehow managed to sit back and do nothing while others +worked hard to make advances and improve their lives. They have +collected the Catholic Church's spiritual welfare checks +for long enough." + "Everything about the meek, from their simple garments + to their quiet demeanors to their utter lack of can-do spirit, + goes against Church philosophy," Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte + of Montreal said. "Sitting back and expecting the Lord + to provide is not the type of behavior for which the Church + should be rewarding its followers." +The change in policy toward the meek is also rooted in financial +considerations: According to Vatican statistics, though more than 80 +percent of the world's Catholics live below the poverty line, the +Catholic Church receives less than 2 percent of its annual earnings of +$395 billion from such people. + "The meek's blessed status was originally bestowed upon them + by Jesus Christ Himself, but there is enough latitude in + His gospels and teachings to allow us discretion in this manner," + the pope said, "especially in light of the financial goals of + the Church as it enters the 21st century. From this day forward, + the Church position shall be, 'Blessed are the affluent, + for they have indeed inherited the Earth.'" +In an effort to move away from its traditional meek core demographic +and attract more upscale worshipers, Vatican officials announced a +number of changes for the Gospels. Among them: Christ shall be said to +have been born in a rustic-but-spacious birthing suite and not a +manger, with the amount of gold and frankincense bestowed upon Him by +the wise men quadrupled and the amount of myrrh halved; it shall +henceforth be as easy for a rich man to enter Heaven as it is for a +camel to pass through a heated three-car garage; and the episode +between Christ and the moneylenders in the temple shall from now on be +interpreted as an internecine argument over appropriately aggressive +fundraising tactics. + According to Holy See spokesperson Salvatore Vittorio, + a new Catholic Church payment plan has been established, + with blessedness and God's everlasting love free of charge + once a nominal baptism/membership fee has been paid. + For an additional fee, Catholics can become "Gold + Circle" members of the Church, entitling them to such perks as + forgiveness, sainthood and special priority seating at the + right hand of the Father upon death. +"We do not wish the Church to become completely exclusionary,' +Vittorio said. "If any of the former meek wish to change their ways, +they may certainly do so. But it won't be the free ride they got +before, I can promise you that." + + + ------ +|MY ATI| + ------ + +OH!

"But I +got better at it afterwards." + Klinton said he's not as good as Yaltsin at putting +his tongue in Hilary's mouth.

Yes, America --known as the, "Human Rights +Capital of the World." + +Just 30 years ago the Dineh and Hopis were so traditionally intacted to +the land and to their ancient intertribalism. Then, 20 years ago they +realized that the ancient homelands were in question for complete Federal +Government regulation, and even partitioning of their Black Mesa/Big +Mountain country. Their movement to defend their sacred country had one of +the greatest impact on federal Indian Policies, since perhaps,in the times +of Captain Jack, Gernimo and Crazy Horse. + +Throughout the late 1970s and into the early 80s, these traditional +resistors have in some ways woken up the World, again, about how fragile +Indigenous cultures are. The traditional Dineh and their allies, the +traditional Hopis, have tried to inform the American public about the +Corporate Greed that threaten to enforced new, 20th Century laws that can +easily terminate these ancient cultures. These Dineh and Hopi elders have +worked hard to further inform what it means to Coexist as Humans, and +they've tried to present to the World what was left of their ancient +bicultural survivals. The obvious truth has always been there before us. + +Who are the Dineh and Hopi traditionals? They are a society of communities +that had wish to live in harmony with the natural world. They are the +descent of all those great Chiefs that have resisted the late 1800s and +early 1900s against Euro-American colonialism. Just 30 years ago, these +people lived a prosperous and healthy life, their ceremonial gatherings +wereone of the largest (real) traditionally conducted events, nearly +two-thirds of them still traveled on horseback or by wagons, and their +intertribal trading were still as active as hundreds of years before. + +Just in 30 years the intent of Peabody Western Coal and Major Utility +Companies of the southwest have exterminated most of the ancient ways of +this last, unique and traditionally-intact culture. For the Dineh, once a +healthy and a harmonous pastoral culture are being confined to only six +acres until the last Grazing Permit holder dies. The rest of the prestine +lands of Black Mesa/Big Mountain will go to the beef industry, +recreational areas and to coal strip mines. As the U. S. Government has +ruled that the lands will go to the Hopis, there is no existing plans by +the "progressive" Hopi Government of future construction of settlements +that can reduplicate their ancient villages. + +The last remaining Dineh resistors ask the World Communities to monitor +the US's encroachment upon their sacred grounds. +[by Bahe Y. Katenay, Dineh interpreter from Big Mountain] +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + The US media is continuing its misinformation +about the purpose of relocating traditional Hopis and Dineh. +They claim that "relocation and partitioning of lands" +is the only solution to "this intertribal conflict." +Knowing the US's practice of injustices upon the Indigenous +Nations of America, one must ask themselves: Does the federal +government intend to protect Indian territories or cultures, +or will it consider business interests over an already +poverty stricten Indian communities? +Would the Fed. Gov't feel that Indian Nations of America +is a higher priority over lands laden with aquifers and +mineral resources? How can it be stated in the media for +25 years that "the Navajos invaded the defenseless Hopis, +and occuppied the ancient Hopi lands," when there has +never been any proven evidence of plunder or massacres +according to the hundreds of existing archaelogical informations? +Interests of mineral explorations is way more evident today, +than seeing the Hopis reviving their cultures and creating +new village sites on their newly awarded lands. Both of these +traditional Nations have suffered the consequences of losing +all of the ancient homelands. Peabody Western Coal Co. is the +only thriving industrial commuity on Black Mesa/Big Mtn. +Citizens of the World need to put a halt to this destruction +of the sacred Mother Mountain and her ancient children! + [ed note: Thanks dj, a quick prime anarchist note: + if there's such a range war going on, then how would a + jew/swede like me have gone into town (Hotevilla) for mail + with a navajo man visiting a hopi man smoking pot with him + while he makes dinner for his wife off at work, and his baby + boy in a backpack behind him???] + +ATI: +Below is your entry as it currently stands in the e-zine-list +database.

The BIA has continued to conduct adjudication of the +Accomodation Agreement (policies allowing resistors to remain) guidelines +by pushing to have AA signers give-up the excess animals to be shipped off +the reservation. This was very disturbing to one family that I happened to +visit and the BIA personnel were just on the scene that early morning of +Oct. 16th. + This traditional family's peaceful breakfast was disturbed by the +several BIA/Hopi Range Technician vechicles that drove up around 7:30 AM. +These government personnel spoke only in English and were some how able to +get their message across that they were there to take their animals some +250 miles from this family's home. The elder mother confronted them and +said, Why can't they bring someone who spoke Dineh? Something she had +requested before. The mother tried to tell them, "It is difficul today +because of the snowy weather and cattle are hard to spot in such weather." +She continued to insist that she had written a two page letter to The Hopi +Lands Operation Office and had stated that she will not allow any of her +animals taken so suddenly. The BIA personnel said they brought +stock-trailers and they are ready to haul that day. The mother, Mayze +Katenay Begay, try to tell her family not to take action upon the BIA +request, but her husband, son, and daughter went ahead to saddle up their +horses and left into the windy, cold and snowy canyonlands. + Later, the BIA returned and said because of the weather they will +retur Thursday, Oct. 22nd and for her to make sure the cattle are ready +to be hauled off. They left a 20 foot stock trailer in front of the sheep +corral and left. She was so angered and disturbed so, she asked me o +scribble a message on the trailer so I did. I asked the BIA not to take it +upon the family and that I personally wrote on the trailer. I will be +leaving this afternoon to check on what was the outcome. + There is plenty more happening and I hope to write something more +informative upon my return. Also, I asked if any supporters who are in +touch with other representatives from Big Mtn. or other areas of HPL to +inquire to them to go out there and begin informing you about other +government activities. Personally, I feel that the more input we can get +from other Dineh Coordinators, (native of HPL) there can be a lot more +flow of updated status. What supporters should try to take note of about +information that comes from your Dineh contacts on the land is that whats +most important to hear about are the BIA activities, and recent BIA Tribal +Council official activities. We all should begin to understand that these +traditional elders' resistance could become more intense and will require +more monitoring by American and World communities. + Myself, I'm overwhelmed with my studies here at Northern Ariz. +Univ. and trying my best to keep the concerned folks aware about the +continued harassments and the intimidations perpetrated by the BIA and +their On-the-Land Agents. Next time I like to put together more +information and try to relay some words from some of the resistors,and as +well as my views of the situation. + Thank You for your continued and vital support, and the Prayers +that is said for the traditional elders who are trying to Save Humanity. + + To All My Relations, Bahe + +----------- ---------------- +OUR LETTUCE AND TOMATOES SECTION: +----------- ---------------- + +i like the "old olk singer" song, +and loved the reference to "cayenne pepper" +which made me smile. as lousy as my health +is, i'd probably be dead without my three +teaspoonsful of cayenne pepper every day +(but sundays). + +Michael (011) + + +to ati@etext.org +I'm trying to locate a Richard (Dick) Capelli who +lived in Kenosha.

He was charged with aggravated murder, +first degree rape, first degree sodomy, kidnapping, theft, fraud, +assault with deadly intent, trespass, and criminal mischief when +a bystander witnessed the Admiral accosting students, yelling +"Happy Genocide Day!" demanding gold and threatening to cut off +their hands or abduct and sell them into slavery. + "Get outta here with your rotten attitude!" Heckled University +students, who tried to chase him away, throwing rocks and beer bottles. + Travelling with fencing "Conquistadores", Spanish soldiers in heavy +armament, Columbus roared defiantly when confronted by students. + "What!? It's MY holiday. Happy Genocide!" Fleeing citizens +arrest and assaulting a bus dirver, he was pepper-sprayed by Eugene +Police and subdued. + King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain were arrested by Customs +Agents at the Madrid Airport trying to transport stolen property- +gold from Jews and Indians, and could not be reached for comment. + Witnesses said Columbus cowered and waived his Miranda rights while +taken into custody, muttering about "liberal plots" against him. +A search warrant was served on his ship, which was towed by a +mountain bike. When searched by EPD several dredlocked EarthFirst!ers +were found in the hull and released. "Discovered" in Columbus' ship +were ten dozen bars of Black Hills gold, several hundred million board +feet of timber stolen from the Willamette National Forest, and a card +from a Florence-area developer. + Suspicious the Admiral was hording other contraband, the EPD strip +searched him and held him at the Lane County Corrections Facility until +Friday. Determining that the nefarious colonist suffers from paranoid +schizophrenia with delusions of grandeur, Health Officers forcibly +administered Halizon, Lane County Corrections officials said. + The Conquistadores were arrested at the California-Mexican border +by the Mexican Army. Extradited to Mexico City they face similar +charges and if convicted, the death penalty by a Mexican Firing Squad, +according to an Amnesty International press release. + Christopher Columbus was deported by the Immigration and +Naturalization Service Friday to Geneva and charged for violating +international laws against slavery, torture, genocide and ecocide. +He, Ferdinand and Isabella face a United Nations tribunal comprised +of Pagans, Jews, Moors, African-Americans and Indigenous Americans. + Call (541) 607-7064 or e-mail isco@efn.org for more information. + -0- + + + +FEAR & LOATHING In Las Vegas will be out Nov 17th +for any who missed the Big Picture. +[prime note: i did too and i'm ticked.] + +---------------------------------- +ATI - The Rag Read Round the Earth +---------------------------------- + + + [ed note: the phollowing's a keeper because its + beautiful metaphor far outweighs any + ethnocentricism involved.] + +I Want A Loan + --by Humor Break (494) + + An old native American wanted a loan for $500. +The banker pulled out the loan application, "What are +you going to do with the money?" + "Take jewlery to city and sell it," was the response. + "What have you got for collateral?" + "Don't know collateral." + "Well that's something of value that would cover the +cost of the loan.

Patients' families will be +warned about side effects; which colors are fresh and which are +stale; and one relative must provide a "come-down" tent within two +miles of all Actiq consumption. + For patients allergic to sugar, Fizzer-Squibly can provide squares +on little light blue sheets of paper, which comes with a free pair +of FDR scissors with William Benet's picture on the handle. + See your doctor for details or your pharmacist for the over-the- +counter versions. + Not to be taken with Viagra, Testosterones +or Test Free, Fizzer-Squibly not responsible for misuse. +Calls are just $35 a minute.

"Look at this lousy loam," he said +showing a finger full. "How does one expect us to live on loam +like this?"

In the rest of the country retail prices +will level at 30 cents more a liter. + "The walnut juice and raisin juices will taste simply +horrible," said Standing.

Traditional Hopi +who came to offer their support to the resisters in +March of 1997 emphasized the importance of the spiritual +position. Thomas Banyacya said, "No courts, no lawyers, +no white man's law. We obey the law of the creator. +This is our land. This is your land." The legal system +has done nothing but drain the hopes and resources of +the resisters.

I was to place +them in clearly marked yellow squares next to the dumpsters so that +the extra-competant people who AREN'T Murphy corporations can haul +THEM. + I believe I only screwed that up 2 or 3 times, and I don't think +there was any harm, for the Murphy people probably didn't know what +was what anyhow. + My favorite job was wiping off all the video display terminals +and emptying wastebaskets in P Takis Veliotis' old office, (oh who +was his replacement I forget) and especially the Newport News Liason +office rooms. + Naval Investigative people eat all the wrong foods, by the way, +according to the wastebaskets I saw; and if they keep all that porn +on their screens every day from 4:30 til 7am there's going to be +naked people burnt into the glass, you might want to write a memo +about that. I turned most of them off those nites. + Oh, and speaking about memos, pardon me, but I couldn't help +but notice the angry letter from that guy who replaced Veliotis - +what WAS his name??? - Anyhow, it looked like it was to every +3 letter agency, the president, UN Security Council and if I remember +right, Henry and Nancy Kissinger too. You were mad that to make your +contract deadlines you could only make washers and driers that run +at 1/3 capacity and while you recognize this is perfect for peacetime, +you said you felt it was unacceptable and must be corrected immediately +because during war, you needed full capacity or the sailors will begin +smelling like urine, bad sculptures or a Texas slaughterhouse. + "Immediately." you said (which is as we know in military terms - +8 to 10 years) + I couldn't help but notice because you used all-caps for the first +four lines and we in the netizen community call that shouting.

News From the School Of The Americas Protests. +(SEMINOLE, Georgia) - "You're a liar," --Archbishop Romero +recognizing someone in a Salvadoran Army General. + This happened last Sunday. It is the truth as I saw it. + Half our procession was on busses to the park for what we +believed was to be our arrest. The other half, we had marched +past "the line" where we were detained 2 hours awaiting the +maxed-out busses. We were about 500 yards ahead of the people +in wheelchairs who also wished to cross the line and risk +arrest. We watched a left-tenant colonel verbally assault the +humans in wheelchairs telling them they could not cross a new +line he'd invented and that if they joined us over THAT line +there'd be a worse penalty for them. They were afraid to move. + We decided thru consensus that his saying they couldn't +join us, did not cover us joining them. We stretched our line +wide until the last four people, including me, stood right +next to the people with wheelchairs. Somewhere between 15 and +thirty of them. + Two were crying, and they all agreed verbally they were +quite relieved that we re-included them; for they felt isolated, +in danger, and scared. + The left-tenant returned. He began telling them that the +busses had already taken the first wave of "criminals" to a +park two miles away, that this second wave (us) would +not be processed and we'd be taken by bus right off the base +where the gate is, so we can wait for our "buddies." + He told the people in wheelchairs they could save him the +time, money and gas if they would just wheel themselves back +off the base to where the other 5 to 7 thousand were singing, +drumming and cheering us all on. + I sensed a very dangerous lie had been paid out and the +people were about to get hurt. It's a burden giving a shit, +but I pressed forward with a skill that if I can say without +bragging, I acquired in greater volume than this "colonel." + "Sir!" I shouted from next to the people in wheelchairs. +"Were the people on the first busses processed or NOT??" + "Son!" he shouted as if I was some dumb GI under his +command. + "Are you in a wheelchair?" he barked turning toward me with +the look of venom in his eyes. + "No sir!" I parried his thrust as fast as I could. I suddenly +realized I'd broken him and he was about to single me out for +abuse. From my basic training skills and times where I'd lived +through going beyond broken, I realized that if I said anything +to his screams besides a barrage of "yes sir's" and "no sir's" +he was going to spend 15 entire minutes hollaring at me while +he built up his "plan b," in his pea-sized mollasses-in-january +brain. My life was possibly in danger and hinged on my attention +to that detail. My silence may have been just as dangerous, +if not more. + So I replied "yes sir; no sir," very rapidly to his launch of +5 or 6 verbal assaults including something about my ass, and +suggesting I get it away from the wheelchairs. + "You do what you have to," he screamed angrily at the people +in the wheelchairs, wheeled around and left walking tall with +the self-assuredness of a pompous fool who deserves absolutely +no one's respect outside of his small part of the United States +Army. + [nice of him to quote Martin Sheen at the end there. + Emulation is the best form...] + We all continued on rather than get tricked by the left +tenant's attempt at damage reduction. We were bussed +to the park where we too were processed and the people in +wheelchairs were escorted off-base by other military people +who treated them nicely I'm told. + This good cop/bad cop junk is rapidly getting old. + # + + +(((((questions comments and concerns: ati@etext.org))))) + +Wail Activist Times...

In the other, women are paid to use their bodies +to hurt no one, cross the line and entertain a crowd of goobers, many +with oily complexions. + +The ambiance in a football stadium is a red-blooded, boisterous crowd, +much of it loaded, urging their esteemed 380-pound former +scholar-athletes to bump and grind. In a strip club, the +red-blooded audience, most of it loaded, is urgently rapt as +their fallen aerobics idols bump and grind. + +The football crowd gets off watching men in tight pants and +artificially enhanced upper bodies. The club crowd gets off watching +women in thongs or less and artificially enhanced upper bodies. +Football does what it can to objectify women as well. Pro cheerleaders, +among our most prized embodiments of anonymous T & A, are out there +showing adults and children what meaningful roles women can aspire to. +Lap dancers, as ordinances will allow, do it indoors, out of sight from +neighboring schools, churches and lottery outlets. +So football gets embraced as an ideal, and gentlemen's clubs - +take a look at just who owns pro football teams, by the way - are bashed. +In both venues, owners make a bundle off the bodies of disposable +hirelings: Men and women, in their handsome prime and exercising +God-given (and often surgeon-sanctioned) talent to maximize +earnings during careers of precarious lengths. + +For the social reformers, if nothing is more pathetic than an aging +stripper with no future and a misspent youth, go to a reunion of +pro football players and log how many can still walk, how many are +free of dope, or, to be benign, painkillers, and, in fact, how many +are on parole. + +Good neighbor? Surely the policing around a strip club is as vigilant +as around any football stadium, all those two-fisted tailgaters included. +Getting to and from the club in Pawcatuck, proposed for the former site +of Rosalini's, a restaurant and then a nightclub, set back from Route 2 +near the Route 78 connector, has to be more convenient than exiting any +urban football stadium. The Rosalini's site could not be better situated +for unobtrusive comings and goings. + +People argue how one show enhances a community and the other affronts +it. Pro football, always a growth industry for office pools and +Vegas oddsmakers, survives utterly on the public, desperate +for something to do on a Sunday, standing around screaming and +shivering. The strip club in Pawcatuck, or whatever the owners decide +to have there, is in the shadow of the largest gambling emporium +in the galaxy. So which one doesn't fit in? + +Again, one venue, built on voyeurism, fantasy and bodies in motion and +pain for no apparent reason, gets sanctioned, while the other, selling +precisely the same enticements, without the pain and in private, gets +the bum's rush. + +Where's the harm in one and not the other? Where's the exploitation in +one and not the other? Where's the fantasy fulfillment in one and not +the other (Alas, the Patriots, as history shows, are not exactly the +stuff of dreams, are they)? + +One gets the sloppy smooch and the other, a sanctimonious shudder. +Both are unabashed primers in meat-marketing, no more, no less. + +Steven Slosberg can be reached via e-mail at: +s.slosberg@newlondonday.com + + + "...and in other news..." + +(PAWN) + prime anarchist world newz 2nite: + with Peter Lemmings. + These Headlines did not appear.

He also promised that the Statue would remain as is +if the suit is successful. + Aside from the Statue, Studard is planning a small casino, an +ice sculpture and a place where people can hunt deer and coyotes +year round. + -30- + +Navajo elder Pauline Whitesinger tells a special investigator +on religious intolerance from the United Nations, +"all religions are sacred, including those of Native America," +when he visited the Navajo Reservation last February where he slept +in Hogans by a woodstove for five nights and four days.

Set me back a +mere 30 bucks. From then 'til yesterday (Jan 1) +I'd had them in seperate rooms digesting much TV. + One got its learning entirely from non-stop NBC. +The other was glued to MTV 24-7. + As I suspected there was a generation gap of +sorts from the very beginning. I faced them +toward each other in a walk-in closet with a voice- +activated microcassett recorder nearby. I planned +to change a 90-minute tape on slow speed every 4 +or 5 hours. + Neither said a word to each other for twenty +whole minutes, so I altered the experiment, +deciding to get things rolling saying the word, +"shit." + I guess the NBC-fed doll had never heard the +word because she, he or it started in with "what +the hell did you just say? Because I don't +understand you, and it sounded like crap." How +he'd learned Wolf Blitzer's voice perfectly in +both tone and syntax I'll never know. + Well the MTV Furby must not be used to the +word "crap" because s/h/it broke in with "Oh +my God. That was, like rad, I mean no way, man +take a picture of my butt. Does she go down on +you in a theatre? Scratch your fingernails down +my back, oh nice ass, let's eat at Hooters." + I swear s/he sounded just like Jesse, the +enviro-retarded heroin-addict wannabe VJ. + I didn't hear NBC's retort but when I +returned to change cassettes one of the dolls +was on top of the other doing something +horribly obscene saying "calls are just +35 dollars a minute, order now, operators are +standing by," while the other was just laying +there saying, "it's freezing in here, I don't +think you love me anymore... is there a room +I can darken? I need to perform an autopsy." +--------------- +http://www.solcommunications.com/mauro/video.html +And now, Mauro's message: +--------------- +I have a 28:30 second "underground" +cable show called "The Battle of Big +Mountain". I had given Klandiken some +copies and ISCO in Oregon. This is +not the documentary that we have been +working on, but it does contain +footage that no doubt is in that piece. +Anyway many people have asked me about +the cable show. I will send a copy +to any BIg Mountain group that wants it. +Since I will be paying for the copies and +mailing I just ask that only groups or +people that intend on educating with it +reply. Also, any group working with the +nuclear issues please contact me as well. +We made a similar piece during Corbin Harney's +event at the Mercury gate last spring +and it came out great.

During floods, residents +became isolated because they were unable +to cross the Gila River to get from +one side of the reservation to the other, +tribal Councilman Harry Cruye said. + But with persistence and a federal loan, +the Gila River Community 11 years ago formed +its own phone company, Gila River +Telecommunications Inc., which today offers a +$12-a-month phone service, cellular phones, +business phone systems, pagers, satellite TV +and Internet connections. Today, the company +serves about 1,400 Gila River families. + "That's a big jump, considering most +people didn't have phones 10 years ago. +We're bringing the 21st century into people's +homes," said Belinda Nelson, the company's +director of human resources. + Today, the company stands out for being +able to better serve its spread-out Native +American market than competitors and for +offering advanced features in a community +in which half the residents still don't +have phones. + The Gila River Community was one of +the first Indian nations in the state to +approach US West about buying out its system, +said Jim Roof, a US West spokesman. +The original system included a 1950s-vintage +switching system. + The community formed Gila River +Telecommunications Inc., or GRTI, in 1988. +Two years later, it received a $12.4 million +Rural Electrification Administration loan to +replace US West's old system with +state-of-the-art equipment that today includes +digital switches and 117 miles of fiber-optic +cables. + US West had no objections to leaving the +isolated rural market in some areas, Roof said. + "There are areas, especially in the West, +where a company specifically focused on small +communities has some significant advantages +that US West can't enjoy," he said. + In late 1997, the Gila River Community +bought out the other owner of Gila River +Telecommunications, National Telecom Cos. Inc. +of Oklahoma City, and became the sole owner. + As a company run by and for Native Americans, +the company can customize its services to what +the 620-square-mile reservation needs. + "We are profitable, but because we're owned +by the community, profits are not as important +as serving the community well," said Brooks +Roseman, general manager of GRTI. + It recently gave the community its first +comprehensive phone book with maps of the +reservation. Maps have not been readily +available before. + The company also installed advanced pay +telephones, and residents have to pay only +25 cents to call anyone on the reservation, +with no time limit. + Along with serving the rural residents, +the telephone system at the Lone Butte +industrial park near south Chandler, +which has 43 businesses, is nearing +capacity. + The company uses a Chandler address, +7065 W. Allison Drive, while other homes +or businesses have Florence, Coolidge or +Florence addresses. + There are street names, but sometimes +no street numbers. + Roseman said the company will probably +have to get really state-of-the-art and use +satellite-based global positioning systems +instead of addresses to identify 911 callers. + Ironically, the big telephone company, +US West, which once decided it would be too +expensive to serve such a wide-spread community, +could someday find itself competing with this +young company in other communities. + Customers who live outside the community +have already begun calling to see whether +they can become a customer. Roseman said +that although the company could someday +allow that, for now it won't. + "We'd like to serve the population of +the reservation first and do that well," +he said. + +Betty Beard can be reached at: +betty.beard@pni.com. + -30- + +PACKAGE FOR MR.

"Spiking doesn't get taught there at all! +One would have to go to US Forest Ranger training +camp in the winter." Tadpole is Garth's new errant +EF!?! name by the way.

An important step in +this mobilization is to carry out a +Consultation among all Mexicans, +wherever they may live, the 21st of +March, 1999. + +The Mexican government stubbornly +continues not to fulfill the accords +that it has signed recognizing +indigenous rights, and has chosen +openly to take the path of violence +to try to settle the conflict, as +the recent massacres in Acteal and +El Bosque so clearly demonstrate. + +With the goal of masking its war of +extermination, Zedillo government +has mounted a propaganda campaign +abroad to improve its image +internationally and to decieve +peoples, governments, and human rights +organizations. +Zedillo's government is striving to +convince the world that there is +no war in Mexico's southeast, +that his government wants to enter +into dialogue with the EZLN, and +that it is the EZLN itself that +refuses to settle the conflict +peacefully. + + + +Therefore, because we know that this +campaign of lies will fail, today we +convoke the International Consultation +For the Recognition of Indigenous +Peoples' Rights and the End to the +War of Extermination. + +We call upon all Mexicans over the age +of 12 who live in foreign countries +to organize themselves and participate +in the Consultation for the Recognition +of Indigenous Peoples' Rights and the +End to the War of Extermination on +the 21st of March, 1999. + + + + + +Therefore +In order to stop the war of extermination, +In order to achieve the recognition of +indigenous rights in Mexico, +In order to stop the persecution of +which the excluded are the object, +In order to demand respect for difference, +In order to demand a world into which all +worlds can fit, +We call an International Campaign for +the Excluded of the World. + +21Mar99. + +DEMOCRACY! +LIBERTY! +JUSTICE! + +From the mountains of Southeast Mexico, + +Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos +Clandestine Indigenous Revolutionary +Committee-General Command of The +Zapatista National Liberation Army + + + +Clinton Protestors with their mouths +taped shut give the victory sign and +carry a large Juanita Broadreich +banner as they take part in a peaceful +riot Friday in Hamburg, Conn., demanding +release of the famous "Watergate +safe-sex tapes."

I am +reminded that, in the previous +letter, I left pending what I +was telling you about how the +International Consultation +and the Campaign for the Excluded +of the World was going to be +run. Here it goes: + +1.- Well, first I'll tell you about +the brigades that, in the five +continents, have been accredited and +have sent us their ideas, reports, and +anxieties... + [I've taken the liberty of a big + "snip" here, he lists a gazillion + placenames, and I'd like to call + it "just about everywhere." If + any of you live in an area where + you have no idea what we're talking + about here, GET TO WORK.] +...they all know that the struggle that +is going on here is also their own, +and that is how we understand it as well. +Therefore, we extend to them a welcome. + +2.- Now, let me tell you that in the +five continents, two big activities +are being prepared for the coming March. + One is the International Consultation. +Since for us (and for many like us), the +Mexicans who live abroad have rights that +must be recognized, we have thought that +the Consultation for the Recognition of +the Rights of the Indian Peoples and +For the End to the War of Extermination +should be open to participation by all +Mexicans, without it mattering where +they are found. Then, what we did was +to call an International Consultation, +in a way such that the Mexicans who live +in other countries, and are older than +12, could also give their opinions about +the four questions which will be +answered on March 21, 1999. + Not just that, but for the +International Consultation we have +decided to add a fifth question +which says: + Do you agree that Mexicans who live +abroad should be an active part in the +construction of a new Mexico and have +the right to vote in the elections? + In this way, the Mexicans who live +outside of the country will have the +opportunity to give their opinions +about the recognition of their rights +(which is denied them by the gov.) + +3.- Clearly, here one asks oneself what +those who are not Mexican, but who are +interested and pledged to peace and the +recognition of the rights of all, can do +or how they can participate. + Well, one way they can participate +is in the Campaign for the Excluded of +the World (of which I will speak later), +and the other is to promote and spread +the Consultation in their countries, +organizing the installation of voting +tables, and organizing and carrying +out the computation and communication +with Mexico so that the results can be +known. In this task may participate all +the men and women, young and old of the +world, with or without organization, +without mattering their nationality, +race, color, taste, creed, size, weight, +sexual preference, or whatever other kind +of classification the powerful use to +exclude those who are different. + So that nationality will not matter, +the International Consultation will +have many spaces for participation +beyond casting votes. + +4.- Yes, I understand that you're asking +what the Mexicans living abroad will do +to give their opinions about the five +questions and how we are going to know +your answers. + Well, we have decided to propose the +following options: +a).- So that the Mexicans living abroad +can give their opinions, all those +within a nation who are interested can +get in contact, and, in common accord, +organize the installation of tables +and centers of computation. +b).-These "National Coordinations" are +accredited in the Oficina de Contacto, +so that we can know in what countries +and how the International Consultation +is being organized. +c).-To send in the vote count that the +National Coordination will carry out, +you will have to get in contact with +the Oficina de Contacto. +d).-If any group of people, organization, +or group of organizations in a given country +want to organize in a different way from +the "National Coordination," there's no +problem. We just ask you to as well get +accredited with the Oficina de Contacto. +e).-In addition to going to the tables +for the Consultation, one can give +one's opinion on the five questions +by sending the answers via telephone, +fax, internet, email, satellite, boat +or paper airplane, intercontinental +rocket, carrier pigeon, or by surface, +water, or air mail. All this will +be directed to the Oficina de Contacto. +ATTENTION: ALL THE NATIONAL COORDINATIONS, +GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND PEOPLE INTERESTED +IN ORGANIZAING THE CONSULTATION IN THEIR +COUNTRY MUST GET ACCREDITED WITH THE... +OFICINA DE CONTACTO PARA LA CONSULTA. +Avenida Ignacio Allende #22-A, +Barrio San Antonio (entre Av.

It is to be +a campaign for all the excluded, not +just for indigenous peoples or the +Zapatistas. + There is an act planned in Strasbourg +to demand change in the immigration +policies of European countries, and +the organizers have decided to incorporate +into their act the demands for the +recognition of the rights of the +indigenous peoples and the end +to the war of extermination. +There is also, in France, "Feu Faux +Lait." This is a theater company that is +preparing to participate in the campaign +for the excluded of the world by staging +a play in Paris and the surrounding areas. + Now you see that there are many ways +of participating. You just have to +come to agreement, organize, and act. + Well, now I'll say goodbye. +As soon as more is known, +I'll write again. +Vale. +We wish you health, +and let's not let +neoliberalism succeed in +excluding humanity. +From the mountains of +Southeast Mexico, +Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos. +Mexico, February 1999. + + + + +NO #'s section this week. +And little or no prime anarchist +world newz 2nite.

The reason? The +promotion of the Consultation and +solidarity with indigenous +Mexicans and their worthy fight. + We wanted to thank all of those who +have had to do with these roads to +peace that, above all to the rhythm of +rock but not exclusively, cross the +planet from side to side. + We're not just thanking those who +compose, sing, and play. Also to the +producers, the sound engineers (is that +how you say it?), the lighting crew, the +stage hands, the drivers, the ticket +sellers, the carriers, the artistic +representatives, the owners and +administrators of the locations, +and all those who saw to (but were +nevertheless not seen) the concerts or +musical presentations (often double +volunteers: they don't receive money +or credit). Thanks to everyone. + And since we're in the "1 2 3 4," +we want to salute all the musicians +who, in these five years, have played, +are playing, and will play for peace +with justice and dignity. + All have said stop the war. Some +have recorded disks, others participated +in concerts, or visited indigenous +communities, or spoke in favor of a just +and honorable peace, or protested against +the Acteal massacre, or gave us their +instruments as presents, or dedicated +one or more songs to the struggle of +the indigenous Mexicans. + Thanks to all these musicians who, +in Mexico and all the world, echo the +zapateado "Ya Basta!" + As soon as we win, we are going to +organize a super-mega-magna-hyper-concert +for everyone, without any time limit and +for free!

NORBERT COLLEGE +-- +By Matthew Reedy +-- +For the past three years, St. Norbert +students and a handful of Green Bay +residents have been active members of +the School of the Americas Watch. +The SOA is a military training +facility located on the campus of Fort +Benning, GA. The SOA has trained over +60,000 Central American soldiers since +1946. The annual budget for the SOA is +over $18 million, funded by our tax +dollars. SOA Watch was founded by Fr. +Roy Bourgeois, a MaryKnoll priest. +Fr. Roy began the SOA Watch upon his +discovery of human rights abuses +committed by SOA graduates. Fr. Roy +is a Purple Heart veteran of the +Vietnam [collateral damage capades, +a semi-annual event] and a missionary +to the poor in Central America. He +witnessed first hand the misery +caused by U.S. policy in Central +America. For the past nine years, +peace activists have been protesting +the SOA and calling for its closing. +SOA officials claim that the school +promotes democracy, freedom, and +human rights in Central America. +This stark contrast in viewpoint has +caused the SOA and its existence to +become very controversial at SNC, as +well as in [Wisconsin and] the House +and Senate. +St. Norbert students will be travelling +to Washington, DC to lobby and protest +the SOA, Friday, April 30 thru Monday, +May 3. Please call Matt Reedy or +visit http://www.soaw.org to learn +more about the School of the Americas. + +Today is /\ +Day /3 \ of + \ / pie2K + \/ !!! + + + +ATI MUSIC NEWS. I'M CURTIS +BLOWDER.

These lands are rich with oil, +uranium and precious lumber. The government +wants them for the great transnational +companies. We want them for all the Mexicans. +The government sees our lands as a business. +We see our history written in these lands. +In oder to defend our right (and that of all +Mexicans) to live with liberty, democracy, +justice and dignity we became an army and +undertook a name, voice and face that way. +Perhaps you wonder how we know of you, +about your birthday, and why it is that +we extend this long bridge which goes +from the mountains of the Mexican +southeast to the prison of Pennsylvania +which has imprisoned you unjustly. +Many good people from many parts +of the world have spoken of you, +through them we have learned how you +were ambushed by the North American +police in December of 1981, of the +lies which they constructed in the +procedures against you, and of the +death sentence in 1982. +We learned about your birthday through +the international mobilizations which, +under the name of "Millions for Mumia", +are being prepared this April 24th. +It is harder to explain this bridge +which this letter extends, it is more +complicated. I could tell you that, +for the powerful of Mexico and the +government, to be indigenous, or +to look indigenous, is reason for +disdain, abhorrence, distrust and +hatred. The racism which now floods +the palaces of Power in Mexico goes +to the extreme of carrying out a war +of extermination, genocide, against +millions of indigenous. I am sure +that you will find similarities +with what the Power in the United States +does with the so-called "people of color" +(African-American, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, +Asians, Northamerican Indians and any +other peoples who do not have the insipid +color of money.) +We are also "people of color" (the same +color of our brothers who have Mexican +blood and live and struggle in the American +Union). We are of the color "brown", +the color of the earth, the color +from which we take our history, our +strength, our wisdom and our hope. +But in order to struggle we add another +color to the brown: black. +We use black ski-masks to show our faces. +Only in this way can we be seen and heard. +We chose this color as a result of the +counsel of an indigenous Mayan elder who +explained to us what the color black meant. +The name of this wise elder was Old Man +Antonio. He died in these rebel Zapatista +lands in March of 1994, victim of +tuberculosis which ate his lungs and his +breath. Old Man Antonio used to tell us +that from black came the light and +from there came the stars which light +up the sky around the world. He told +us a story which said that a long time +ago (in those times when no one measured +it), the first gods were given the task +of giving birth to the world. In one of +their meetings they saw it was necessary +that the world have life and movement, +and for this light was necessary. +Then they thought of making the sun +in order that the days move and so +there would be day and night and +time for struggling and time for making +love, walking with the days and nights +the world would go. +The gods had their meeting and made this +agreement in front of a large fire, +and they knew it was necessary that +one of them be sacrificed by throwing +himself into the fire in order to become +fire himself and fly into the sky. +The gods thought that the work of +the sun was the most important, +so they chose the most beautiful +god so that he would fly into the fire +and become the sun. But he was afraid. +Then the smallest god, the one who was +black, said he was not afraid and +he threw himself into the fire and +became sun. +Then the world had light and movement, +and there was time for struggle and +time for love, and in the day the bodies +worked to make the world and in the night +the bodies made love and sparkles filled +the darkness. +This is what Old Man Antonio told us and +that is why we use a black ski mask. +So we are of the color brown and of +the color black. But we are also of the +color yellow, because the first people +who walked these lands were made of +corn so they would be true. And we are +also red because this is the call of blood +which has dignity and we are also blue +because we are the sky in which we fly, +and green for the mountain which is our +house and our strength. And we are white +because we are paper so that tomorrow +can write its story. +So we are 7 colors because there were +7 first gods who birthed the world. +This is what Old Man Antonio said +long ago and now I tell you this +story so that you may understand +the reason for this bridge of paper +and ink which I send to you all the +way from the mountains of the +Mexican Southeast. And also so that +you may understand that with this +bridge goes pieces of salutes and +hugs for Leonard Peltier (who is in +the prison at Leavenworth, Kansas), +and for the more than 100 political +prisoners in the USA who are the +victims of injustice, stupidity and +authoritarianism. +And with this letter-bridge walks +as well a salute to the Dine (the Navajo), +who, in Big Mountain, Arizona, fight +against the violations of their traditional +Dine religious practices. They struggle +against those who prefer the large +businesses instead of respect for +the religious freedom of Indian +peoples, and those who want to +destroy sacred grounds and +ceremonial sites (as is the case +of Peabody Western Coal Company +which wants to take lands without +reason, history or rights-lands +which belong to the Dine and their +future generations.) +But there are not only stories of +resistance against North American +injustice in this letter-bridge. +There are the indigenous, from +the extreme south of our continent, +in Chile, the Mapuche women in the +Pewenche Center of Alto Bio-Bio +who resist against stupidity. +Two indigenous women, Bertha +and Nicolasa Quintreman are accused +of "mistreating" members of the +armed forces of the Chilean +government. So there it is. +An armed military unit with +rifles, sticks, and tear-gas, +protected by bulletproof vests, +helmets and shields, accuse two +indigenous women of "mistreatment". +But Bertha is 74 years old and +Nicolasa is 60. How is it possible +that two elderly people confronted +a "heroic" group of heavily-armed +military? +Because they are Mapuche. The story +is the same as that of the brothers +and sisters Dine of Arizona, and +the same which repeats itself in +all America: a company (ENDESA) +wants the lands of the Mapuches, +and in spite of the law which +protects the indigenous, the +government is on the side of +the companies. The Mapuche students +have pointed out that the government +and the company made a "study" of +military intelligence about the +indigenous Mapuche communities +and they came to the conclusion +that the Mapuche could not think, +defend themselves, resist, or +construct a better future. The +study was wrong apparently. +Now it occurs to me that, perhaps +the powerful in North America carried +out a "military intelligence" study +(this is frankly a contradiction, +because those of us who are military +are not intelligent, if we were we +would not be military) about the case +of the Dine in Arizona, about Leonard +Peltier, about other political +prisoners, about yourself, mister +Mumia. Perhaps they made this study +and came to the conclusion that they +might be able to violate justice and +reason, to assault history and lose +the truth. They thought they could +do this and no one would say anything. +The Dine Indians would stand by and +watch the destruction of the most +sacred of their history, +Leonard Peltier would be alone, and you, +Mister Mumia, would be silenced (and I +remember your own words "They not only +want my death, they want my silence"). +But the studies were wrong. Happy mistake? +The Dine resist against those who would +kill their memory, Leonard Peltier is +accompanied by all those who demand +his liberty, and you sir, speak and +yell today with all the voices which +celebrate your birthday as all birthdays +should be celebrated, by struggling. +Mister Mumia: +We have nothing big to give you as a +gift for your birthday, it is poor and +little, but all of us send you an embrace. +We hope that when you gain your freedom +you will come to visit us. +Then we will give you a birthday party, +even if it isn't April 24th, +it will be an unbirthday party. +There will be musicians, dancing and +speaking, which are the means by which +men and women of all colors understand +and know one another, and build bridges +over which they walk together, towards +history, towards tomorrow. +Happy Birthday! + +Vale. We salute you and may justice +and truth find their place. +>From the mountains of the +Mexican Southeast, +Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos +Mexico, April of 1999 +P.S.
