Actually, everything I've read, from local papers to Newsweek to SI, indicates
that Olympic coverage will be much as it's always been, rather piecemeal,
with sports like swimming and gymnastics and track getting lots of coverage,
but really mostly focusing (as always) on the american flag waving.  minor
sports will get almost no coverage.  we won't see all the us volleyball and
basketball games in their entirety, but then again we never have.  nbc has
promised that we will see at least a little of all hoops games.

In the "Happy Days Reunion" show which appeared earlier this year, they
indicated that "Mork and Mindy" was in fact a spin-off from "Happy Days".

Don't you remember in one of the first shows that Mork said to Mindy "Yes,
I visited your planet twenty of your earth years ago" ?

Well, I won't comment on the 'one-sided' issue, but I would imagine 
that the same technique will be used as was used with George Bush.
CBS News footage was spliced in to make the press conference footage,
and an imitator was used for off-camera voice.

Eeeks! Blasphemer!! :) :)
Nothing IMO can be quite as bad as _Full House_.  Kinda makes me ill to
see M*A*S*H even mentioned in the same paragraph as that show.  I must 
agree that the earlier episodes were quite good.  Actually, quite possibly
the BEST part of the series was towards the middle where they still had
Radar, but also had David n Stiers playing Charles Winchester.  I think
that when Klinger 'took over' Radar's role, or attempted to, things began
to go dowill a bit.  Not necessarily due to Farr's acting abilities,
everything just seemed to slump a bit around that time.

So the arrow went over the torch and not in it.  Ever held
a match over a gas stove without a lit pilot.  It will light the
burner from a distance.  And the announcers even said there would
be a gas plume over the torch.  All the arrow had to do was go
over the torch.

I believe they had to have a backup in case the arrow missed, but
I don't think it missed.

Thanks for the more recent update.  Just two questions:

1) Was Brooke REALLY having a drink with Caroline before she was raped?
As I recall, Caroline wrote a good-bye letter to Ridge (which he DID
receive) and then went to a mexican restaurant BY HERSELF.  The
"good looking bloke" was giving her the eye, and there was a lot
of "in Caroline's head" chatter about her attraction to the man.
She finally let him join her for dinner, and let him take her home.
Was Brooke really there?

2)  Brooke took a letter.  I was fairly sure, however, that it was
a letter from Caroline to Ridge (confessing love) and NOT the reverse.
Anyone know for sure?

Hi All:

I've posted this before but did not see it, can someone let me know if
this gets out into netville. 

I've been reading this newsgroup for about 3 years and thought it was
time to introduce myself.  My name is Martha Campbell, I'm 28 years
young (ha ha).  Married for four years to a pretty nice guy (Dave).
Dave and I live in Redwood City, California, and share our home with
Toby the dog, Cat the cat, Jasime another cat and Lucy the bunny.  We
don't have any kids yet, but are currently working on it. I
work at Stanford University and hope to complete my masters in
International Relations from San Jose State.  My husband is
self-employed he owns a computer networking consultanting company.
In our spare time we enjoy skiing (water and snow), biking, camping,
traveling, collecting antiques  and most importantly enjoying
 the company of good friends. 

Now that I've introduce myself you'll be hearing from me from time to
time.  By the way does anyone know how to post to the group when you
want to include a portion of some else's comments(Of course you do).
Anyways, keep up the excellent updates and good comments.  I truly
enjoy reading this group. Thanks.

P.S. My husband and I will be traveling to Santa Fe in August for
approx. 7 days.  If you have any suggestions or recommendations on must
see/do things during our visit, please drop me a line.  Thanks again.

soaps have done good segments on drinking and driving. Mostly, I
just need a list (off the top of your head is okay) of any soaps you
can think of that make reference to alcohol and automobiles.
