Greetings,

Just on the off chance anyone cares, I did take the opportunity at
lunchtime to go browse through a few million pages of Congressional
Records from the 50s.  George's pappy not only voted for the McCarthy
censure resolution, he also spoke at some length on the topic.  In
particular, he introduced a set of rules to govern the conduct of
congressional hearings that were intended to preclude future abuses similar
to those of Mr. McCarthy.

Clinton was telling the truth on this point.

Man, all that reading!  I think my brain is starting to return.  I sure
am grateful to Ausbrook for his advice.  I feel so much more learned now.
Heck, that was the most reading I'd done since...since...since...well,
since last night.

Marty

Well, it's Ruth the physically Chaste, but about my mental condition I ain't

Today early voting began in my county and I *almost* went down to the
courthouse to cast my ballot. No crowds, you get the fun of casting an
old-fashioned paper ballot in a newfnagled way (the ballots are
computer-scanned sheets actually), and you have the security of knowing
that if you are in, say, a fatal hot-air-balloon accident, you will have
already ingluenced history. But I held myself back, partly because I knew
the debate tonight would change something.

Embarrassingly, I admit that I was waffling dangerously close to casting a
vote for Clinton, but seeing him tonight restored my perfect faith in his
ability to stand for everything good but say absolutely nothing about how
he is going to accomplish all these works. Bush we know about.
Perot...well? Maybe? One thing's certain, if he hadn't quit the race
earlier, after tonight's performance, we'd be looking at the next
president. Now, I don't see how he can possibly win, but he can sure make
things more interesting.

Maybe I should have voted today after all.

Why is it a bad idea to hang up?

The brief description I saw mentioned librarians as an audience.
Evidently deals with book publishing.

Greetings, Natalie,

Hmmm, this story of the green Palmolive sounds slippery, lathery, and
squeaky clean.  I can hardly wait.

   Oh Steve,

   Now I will be driving myself crazy all night!  The guy in the movie is
   Steve McQueen.  It was filmed mostly in Boston.  Fay Dunaway plays an
   insurance investigator and McQueen is a master thief.  He is planning
   a big job, she knows it but can't prove it.  He knows she knows, etc.

   Evelyn, HELP.  I bet you know.  The theme song was sung by Noel Harrison
   and was called something like 'The Circles in Your Mind'.


Perhaps "The Thomas Crown Affair"?
