     The coolest thing about the escalators in the Prague Metro
is the fact that the handrail goes quite a bit faster than the
stairs do, thus pulling your hand way ahead of the rest of you...
Start with your hand right at your side and you'll end up leaning
WAY foreward at the top (bottom) of the escalator.  This is
especially true at the Muzeum and Hlavni Nadrazi stops.
     P.S. Anyone ever have the Ice Cream at the Main Station
(Hlavni nadrazi)??  It's a soft-serve piece of Heaven and it's
only something like 4.50Kcs!!!!!  God, I miss it.

I just heard on the radio Mario Lemieux is about to sign a 7 year 42 Million
Dollar contract.  Does this make him the 6 million dollar man?

This guy is NOT worth 6 million a year.  I find this really ironic when the
owners were crying poor during the strikes.

Is there any truth to this report?  If so, there is going to be some very
unhappy pens.

at Vysoka Skola Banska for our durration.  I have one question for anyone in
Ostrava who has access to the net and can read this message, and it is how can

Hi,

I work for a Hong Kong based trading company and was trying to develop
trade with Czechoslovakian  companies in consumer electronics and 
computer products. In an effort to do this I will be spending a 
month in the country in the near future .

I was wondering if readers of this net could give me general information
as to where I could obtain a list of companies in Czechoslovakia involved 
in this business; how I could establish contact with them; are there any 
government or private agencies which help foreign firms do  business, etc.?

 Any information will be appreciated ?

I don't have an answer, just an observation:

In a recent trip to the CSFR I learned two Czech words: Zamek and Hrad.

Both were liberally translated as "Castle", but my Czech friends assured
me that zamek really meant "fortress" or "keep". In fact, zamek also
means a "lock" in the sense of a padlock.

So, Prague Castle, or Prasky Hrad in Czech, translates as "Prague Castle"
as opposed to "Prague Fortress".

Now a question:
Having grown up American, I must be ignorant to the nuances of
Anglo-English--I always thought a Caslte WAS a palace. What's the
difference?

At the ministry there is a special agency, that will provide you
the needed information. I'll try to collect for you some
addresses more. As far as I'm informed highly appreciated are
investors in electronics. A few of Slovak producers in consumer
electronics are looking for new programs (for example TESLA
PIESTANY, 90 km from Bratislava).

Because this information might not be interesting for a broad
public of this newsgroup it would be better if you let me know
your direct e-mail address.

While the numbers apparently are correct, much (MUCH) of the money is
deferred.  It's been reported that his salary will be about $4 million
a year, up front.   If Eric Lindros is making $3.5 million, Lemieux is
certainly worth $4million.  Of course, that's taking into account the
absurd amount of money that jocks now command.
>
You have a valid point about the owners.  However, the big event that
will drive up salaries is the Lindros deal, not the subsequent Lemieux
contract.  Owners will be able to argue that Mario is (justifiably) a
special case, but no one will swallow that argument when it comes to
Lindros, at least not yet.  His deal is going to really raise the
stakes.  Messier, for instance, has a clause that states that his
salary can never be lower than the average of the top three salaries
in the league.  Hence, his too will climb.  Others will see this, and
their demands will just grow and grow, as the domino effect takes over.

Incidentally, if and when Lemieux does receive a raise, there will be
NO unhappy Pens.  The amount of respect he garners from his teammates
is enormous, and from what I've heard nobody evers questions his
actions or his worth.  They might, however, bitch quite a bit about
Tom Barrasso's mega-deal (and rightfully so, IMHO).

   I apologize for my errors in wrongly typing the kuRaL in ADAMI.
 It must be `theyvam' or `dheyvam'. `deyvam' is wrong in ADAMI.
 Also, I typed incorrectly as `kozhu_nan'. It should have been
 `kozhu_nNan'.

    No. Valluvar doesn't talk about men worshipping their wives. What is  
 worse, Valluvar dedicated a chapter titled `peN vazhich chERal' advising
 them not to listen to the advices of their wives. It is male-chauvinistic.
 My translation is with reference to Mu.Varadha dhaasanaar and Kathuri
 Srinivasan's English translation of ThirukkuRaL. So it is `kozhu_nNanaith
 thozhuthu ezhuvaaL' and not `kozhunNan avaLaith thozha ezhuvaaL'. I hope

I echo John's sentiments. The remark comes across as callous, IMO,
though my opinion is that it more reflective of the frustration
with the culture of violence. The poem paints quite a real picture
of what is happening not only in SL but elsewhere as well. I guess,
what we are seeing here is similar, with words serving as weapons.

Organization: Purdue University

COLOMBO (SEPT. 3) XINHUA - A total of 24 people were  killed  and
67 others injured in Tuesday's bomb explosion in the eastern pro-
vince of Sri Lanka, a military spokesman said today.
   Earlier reports have put the casualties at 24  dead  and  more
than 40 injured.
   Colonel S. Munasinghe  of  the  joint  operations  command  in
Colombo  told  reporters  that the 67 injured included 63 Muslims
and 3 Tamils.
   The spokesman said the bomb which exploded at a market in Kal-
munai  of  eastern Sri Lanka would have weighed at least 10 to 15
kilograms.
   The bomb was believed to be planted by  the  rebel  Liberation
Tigers  of  Tamil  Eelam  (LTTE) in an ice cream box on a bicycle
which was parked near the market.
   The bomb attack against a civilian target was the second  dur-
ing the past week by the LTTE, which is fighting in the north and
east of the island country  for  the  establishment  of  separate
state of minority Tamils.
   The LTTE blasted a private bus at a bus stand in  Trincomalee,
capital of the eastern province, killing 8 civilians and wounding
another 26.

 Agreed with you Mohan. 

One cannot compare TN situation with SL situation though there 
appear some similarities. SL tamils are fighting for their basic
rights and against discrimination. It is not the case in Tamil Nadu.
Being a origin of a country and being discriminated by fellow
country men is something that cannot be tolerated. 

But the situation in South Africa is entirely different !!!

Being a origin of South Africa and being discriminated by a
foreigner (white minority) is too much !!!!
