The August 31, 1992 Newsweek has an article by Jonathan Alter.
One paragraph is intriguing:

   "The irony is that everyone knows that Bush's basic attack
   on the congressional pork-sausage factory has merit.  How
   bad is the Hill?  So bad that the administration is
   occasionally in the strange position of being more "liberal"
   than Congress.  In recent years Bush has actually asked for
   more money for the homeless than Congress has appropriated
   (members put the funds in other porky HUD projects instead).
   And the White House, which has been viciously attacked for
   underfunding AIDS, actually sought more for AIDS research
   than Congress eventually provided.  (Congress's overall AIDS
   budget is only slightly higher than Bush requested.)"

Do any of you have data supporting these claims? Were the Bush
and Congressional funding levels significantly different?  I
find these claims hard to believe.

   I can't understand how anyone can say Bertie is not a mindless twit. Bertie
   is definitely a prize chump. But he has a quality which compensates for such
   trivial things as lack of intelligence. I wonder how many people have noticed
   it. It is the Bertie Wooster associative memory.

   It's out of the chaotic structure of the Wooster mind that all the gems of
   Bertie's diction arise. All the quotations, poems, history, scriptures,
   deposited there in his days through serving the grammar school sentence,
   followed by Eton and finally good old Balliol spring up at odd times decorated
   by garblings and anachronisms and set in a matrix of Wooster-speak and produce
   the amazing burble-textured English which all the Drones speak. It's a pity
   that Bertie can't make these fiery leaps of imagination when confronted with
   real-world problems, but then he is a chump after all. They affect his speech,
   though, and that's why we are swept off our feet when he holds forth.

   Now Jeeves on the other hand might be a dashed intelligent cove suffering
   from elephantiasis of the brain, but he only speaks Times. That's why he
   too is dependent on Bertie (apart from liking Bertie and getting enough
   opportunities to exercise the grey cells, that is). But just that Jeeves
   is dependent on Bertie does not mean that Bertie is not a chump. He is one,
   in the truest and most profound sense of the word.

Just so,   tushar.

Well said.

Greetings,

This repair of the running toilet is one of the simplest household tasks
imaginable.  Turn off the water at the toilet; flush the toilet, and
hold the chain (or piece of rubber, whichever is appropriate) so all the
water runs out of the tank; there is a clip that secures a small tube that
runs inside a larger tube; remove said clip; slide the flapper (I think
that's what it's called) up and off the tube to which it is secured and
disconnect it from the chain (if that's the way it's attached; slide the
new flapper into place and re-attach the chain, leaving just a tiny amount of
slack; turn the water back on.

or
    uunet!brownvm.brown.edu!nemethm%servax.bitnet

Because I've never used such an address form from either of the systems
I'm on, I converted these to the usual internet form; namely,

    pbr_evb@admin.fandm.edu
and
    nemethm@servax.bitnet

In a test with a short message, I had only trouble with two addresses
(I've changed the user names to XXXXX for privacy's sake).

    uunet!brownvm.brown.edu!XXXXXX%hkulbr.hku.hk

which became
    XXXXXX@hkulbr.hku.hk

was undeliverable -- host would not respond.  Anyone know what I could
do about this?

The other problem was
    uunet!brownvm.brown.edu!XXXXXXX%awiimc12.imc.univie.ac

which became
    XXXXXX@awiimc12.imc.univie.ac

The error here was host unknown.  Can anyone suggest a 'correct address'?

Why did some addresses include 'brownvm.brown.edu'?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Happy Labor Day to all those who celebrate.  It's not really a holiday
if school begins the day after.

Greetings,

If Darrell Waltrip and a newborn infant drive the Daytona 500 at the speed
of light, both will age imperceptibly, but the spectators will remain
stupid and drunk.

talk show on WSB, AM 750, in Atlanta, a station that employs his
favorite talkshow host, David Paul, who has returned to his 10 p.m.-2 a.m.
slot after almost a year in the daytime dungeons)
