	The Harvard Donut Shop, which is a tiny diner that's been

In Texas prospective tenants have to go through a credit check.  I
remember vividly when each of my two children were apartment hunting and
going through all of that. Of course, they also had to go through it when
they bought their own homes.  Even one late payment on a credit card bill was
cause for questioning.

Evelyn suggests

>you through inter-library loan.

--for those of you who've never been disadvantaged, take note: college and
university libraries *do not* provide ILL services for the general public.
I even went to Florida Atlantic U, which will allow me to be a "friend of
the Library" for $85/yr -- but the privileges there are only circulation,
*not* their precious ILL.  Even as a faculty spouse up at Northwestern, I
could have an indefinite period of loan for circulating books, but they
insisted that I bring in the warm body of my spouse (during ILL office
hours, 9-5 weekdays) to sign the ILL forms in the presence of the ILL
clerks, even though I explained that he was a *very* busy physician on the
Chicago campus, 15 miles away, with a workday that usually ran from 6 am to
7 pm... 

And if there's no Union List of anything, I can't even *request* an ILL,
since every ILL form I ever saw asked for at least three locations for the
requested matrerial, and refernces to where you got the locations from.

I really don't mean to whine -- but it does give one some perspective on
"the information age" and American competitiveness in the world, etc, to
run into this sort of thing.  Thank heaven we have enough money to support,
for example, my very nonfree Net connection and occasional trips to Miami,
and of course I *already know* how to whack at the system until it
disgorges something.  What about all those folk growing up without a clue?  

I fear that growing up in NYC, where there was so much I could access
with minimal expenditure, didn't prepare me for the desert.  There & then,
it didn't matter how poor or ignorant one was, if one could find one's way
to the local public library (and there were branches *all over*), one could
slake a thirst for  knowledge and widen one's horions.  I tend to appraoch
new libraries the way I approach new museums -- what are the goodies, and
how do I find them?  

Back in Chicagoland, one of the things that distressed me the most about
the gang situation was the fact that kids couldn't go to their local public
libraries in safety (or, sometimes, even to school!) -- how the HELL are
they going to break out of poverty/welfare?  I would have called out the
National Guard to get those kids to the library!  Why should kids "say no"
to gangs etc, when its quite clear the adults can't (or won't) protect
them?  

I'm digressing, rambling and raving... I really *must* get in that pool and
cool off.

Why, Evelyn, are you being critical of the Invisible Empire of AT&T???
Gollywhiz, my ears are burning!  More to the point....you mean they
actually came through and _delivered_??  I am surprised: unless
they've listened to the criticisms, AT&T developed a bad habit of
promising all kinds of wonderful stuff to schools and non-profit
organizations, and then not delivering on time or at all.  This is
commonly called "lying," but I suspect our Marketing types in Basking
Ridge have another name for it that flows trippingly from the tongue.
They were looking for the Big Kill: the commission the salesman could
live on for a year, and one that could be put into advertising to woo
a few more fat cats.  Maybe the fact that the li'l old University of
Akron actually got something is an indicator of Better Times.  But the
part about only one phone working is interesting...did anyone bother
to come in and train you guys on the new phones, or are they just
gonna do DCR (Dump, Collect, and Run)?

It occurred to me that some of you might have wondered what I was talking

extremely hectic day, and I was probably making even less sense than
usual.)  Anne sent the gifs in jumbo size.  When Frank got them from the
incoming ftp area and saw that they were too large to be viewable on most
people's screens, he made copies of them in reduced (normal) size and then
put both versions in my directory.  At first I put both versions in ftp
space.  Frank was surprised at that and said that he had assumed I was
going to put one version only.  Realizing that the jumboes would not be
of any use to most people, I zapped them and left the regulars.

Be happy if all you have to contend with is an unruly manuscript and
authors who would rather do it their way than the right way.  You
could be struggling through reorganization schemes undertaken
without planning, insistence from above on change for the sake of
change, and studied unwillingness to accept any of the wisdom gleaned
by those who have traveled the same road before.  You could be
struggling to stay out of the clutches of the meddlesome, underqualified,
overambitious climber who has managed to seize control by guile
rather than performance.  Anybody want to hire a used, slightly
shopworn editor more comfortable with the humanities and social sciences
than with technical subjects.  I buy my own reference books.
