Instead of reporting to one boss, you report to as many as needed
for the projects you are working on.  How conflicting demands on
your time are handled is, uh - well, I'd rather hoped you wouldn't
ask about that part of the theory...

     Well, I've had it both ways.  Reviewer A thinks he's* the son and
     heir of William Safire and goes after contractions and dangling
     prepositions with fundamentalist zeal.  He rewrites entire
     paragraphs in a tortured marginal scrawl and demands that you set
     his edits in 24-point bold underlined Helvetica italic.  Your
     manuscript comes back streaming red from a thousand wounds, but
     at least you know he read the whole thing.

     Reviewer B (much more typical) would rather undergo root canal
     than review documentation.  He is typically a bleary-eyed
     programmer staggering under a hellish deadline, so you feel
     guilty about hounding him.  He hands back your manuscript two
     weeks late with one comment on page 10, and not a mark in the
     rest of the book.

     On the whole, I'd rather have reviewer A than reviewer B.  If you
     have enough clout, you can learn from the good suggestions and
     ignore the stupid ones.  (Actually, you can learn from the stupid
     ones too.)

     The worst of all possible worlds is where reviewer A is in a
     position to jam his edits down your throat.  Then you can a) try
     gently to educate him and build his confidence in your editorial
     authority; b) swallow your pride and a lot of stupid edits; or
     c) profit from the experience while you look for another job.

     Hang in there, Adam... don't let 'em push you around... and Make

	Two members fo the editorial board of the Daily Texas at the
University of Texas in Austin resigned because the board approved this
same ad this spring. At the last minute the board reversed its decision
and the ad did not run. I never heard if the board members returned to
their positions but it led to some lively discussions about advertising
policies in student publications.

yes and no....the public library should do the ILLs for her.  However, most
academic libraries will ONLY do ILLs for their own patrons, whether faculty
or students.  If they did them for other than their primary clientele, they
would be buried by the public.  I'm not saying it SHOULD be this way....

In the interests of avoiding further confusion:

The version of TN3270 Natalie is using emulates a 3270 when talking to
an IBM mainframe and a vt100 when talking to a more reasonable system.
So the same executable can conveniently be used for both.

     I believe some Christian parents also object to _Diary of a Young

     aneurysm if they knew their kids are watching Studs), and to some
     other classic whose title I disremember because it teaches
     "self-reliance" rather than reliance on God.

     I have to say I take a mean satisfaction in talking about this
     type of loony headline-grabbing fanaticism, because it plays into
     my own prejudice against Christianity, which is one of the few

A four-wheel-drive turbo Subaru wagon is on my list of desired cars,
along with a Saab 900 turbo convertible (racing green with the

GL-10 sedan that I love.

I liked my aunt's Mazda 626 until I tried to drive it.  I looked

so that I could sit up straight.  Driving my mother's Corolla is a
