                          RALPH MCGEHEE

       author of "Deadly Deceits: My 25 Years in the CIA"

 THE CHANGING CIA - Prospects for covert operations in the 90's.

  In 1952, just five years after the creation of the Central
Intelligence Agency, Ralph McGehee graduated from Notre Dame and
embarked upon what he thought was going to be a promising career
as a professional football player.  But when the Green Bay
Packers cut him in the first round, he was recruited by the
C.I.A. for their team.  It was a brand new ball game.  Ralph
found himself in the vanguard of the worldwide fight against
communism...and he loved it.

  After a series of Far East postings, he was assigned to assess
the communist strength in Thailand.  His final report concluded
that the communists were indigenous - not foreign.  Within weeks
of submitting his findings, he was transferred to Taiwan and his
report was buried.  Thus began the painful transformation from
enthusiastic cold warrior to outspoken critic.

  Upon retirement in 1977, McGehee was honored with the C.I.A.'s
highest service award.  But in 1983, he published his expose,
"Deadly Deceits," a chronicle of his 25 years with the agency.

A pair of tickets for each of the games listed below are for sale.  

Sharks vs. Tampa Bay Lightning, Monday, Feb. 1, 7:30PM
Sharks vs. Toronto Maple Leafs, Thursday, Feb. 25, 7:30PM
Sharks vs. Calgary Flames, Sunday, April 4, 7:30PM

All games are at the Cow Palace in Daly City.  

The two seats are in Sec. 3, Row L, Seats, 14 and 15.  I believe they 
are a great value.  They are near the corner of the rink, on the 
side that the Sharks shoot on twice.  Since they are classified 
as "Goalie View" seats, they go for only $22 each - relatively cheap 
for Sharks tickets.  However, since they are on the edge of the 
"Goalie View" area, the people just two seats and an aisle away 
are paying $29 for their seats, making my seats a great value.  

I am selling these tickets for face value - $44 gets you a pair 
of tickets for a game.  If you buy from BASS, you won't get seats 
this good and you'll also get charged a service charge for each 
ticket you buy from them.  

Call me at my work number below or at home at (408)732-2975 if 
you are interested.

   Dart leagues are now forming for the Santa Clara Chapter of the Bud
Light Dart League.  The Bud Light Dart league is a league which plays
under the rules of the American Darters Association (ADA).  The BLDL uses
a handicapping system similar to a bowling league handicap.  The hanicapping
systems purpose is to allow beginning and experienced players to compete
on an equal basis.   Both soft tip (electronic) and steel tip leagues are
available.  You may sign up as a team (up to six members) or the league
director will find a team for you to play on.  For more information contact
Marti Aslin at 408-927-6335, or send me email and I'll be happy to provide
more details.  

I have no connection with the Bud Light Dart League other than having the
pleasure to have just completed my fourth season in the league.  I've posted
this to both ba.sports and ba.singles as I think that darts is a great way
to meet people.  This type of league especially, where beginning and 
experienced players play on the same teams, leads to a lot of interactive
between team members and opponents.  If you're interested at all give Marti
as call or send me email.

Summary: Indian Summer Review


                          Summer In The Wintertime

   I managed to catch Indian Summer at Marsugi's in downtown San Jose
on Wednesday.  Hailing from Chico, Ca., the band was billed as a
progressive/alternative group.
   The event was quite well-attended despite the late weeknight hour of
the performance.  The band began at approximately 10:30 by my clock
complete with some pre-show banter by vocalist/guitarist Bobby Bird.
   The set contained approximately 5 songs; several of which ran for
10 minutes or longer.  A few songs, "Sunshine," and "Comes In Flow"
had somewhat of a pop feel to them and while not as musically complex and
interesting as the longer more experimental songs were well received.
   Solos seemed to be had only by Bobby, unfortunately -- none by
either Ted, the bassist, or Pete the drummer.  Bobby's solos were
quite impressive however.  His playing style, while not terribly
polished was very expressive and melodic.  A wide veriety of effects were
used, but none were overused in my opinion.  Some aspects of the solos
reminded this reviewer of Carlos Santana.
   Near the end of the show the the drummer, Pete, made a plug for the
band's new demo tape which was being sold by the band's manager in the
back of the club (it was rumored that there were T-shirts to be had as
well, but this reviewer didn't see any).  Unfortunately, the poor miking
and acoustics at Marsugi's made understanding any of the lyrics let alone
the plugs and between-song banter quite difficult.  I'm not sure how
many in the audience fully heard the demo tape announcement.
   Despite the acoustical problems and a variety of feedback effects
(probably induced by the club's acoustics as well), the performance was
well received by the audience members with whom this reviewer spoke.
For many in the audience this was their first exposure to the sounds,
and ideas of Indian Summer.  Many expressed interest in seeing them
again.
   All in all, I found the band to be well worth the money (a steal
in fact) and recommend them to anyone who enjoys good music.  Hopefully,
in the future we will find Indian Summer gracing a venue with somewhat
better acoustics.  The band seems to be on their way to building a
Bay Area following.

Greetings Earth,

   I've been learning keyboards/piano for a year now.  I've been practicing
on a SY55.  I don't want to buy a piano.  They are too big and ya can't
take them with ya to a friend's place.
   So, I'm looking to purchase an 88-key weighted MIDI keyboard and/or
controller.  Some of the controllers that I've looked at don't really
appeal to me, save the Roland A-80 or the newer Peavy DPCM-8 (correct model
#?).  I did try the Korg 01/W ProX workstation.  This was a very nice unit.
   Admittedly, I don't know *what* I'm supposed to look for in a MIDI
controller.  Features, responsiveness of the weighted keys, etc.

I'm looking to invest around $2500.

Any insights?

Rumor has it that this could be the best Toasters lineup ever,
especially the horn section.

have fun
