Subject:      sources on the Internet

Some time during the summer there was an announcement on the list about
FTP access to the Economic Bulletin Board via a link at the University
of Michigan (electronic address is una.hh.lib.umich.edu).  This is a
fantastic source for current information in economics.  Now that I have
whetted the appetites of my economic and business faculties, they want
more.

This leads to my question.  Does anyone out there know of any other
gold mines of information which we we can search by means of the Internet.
I am thinking of sources like the E.B.B.  I am familiar with sites from
which we can FTP software and other useful documents (e,g, Project
Gutenberg, University of Western Ontario, etc.)

I would appreciate any information, and I will summarize for the list.

RLG TO OFFER RUSSIAN DATABASES THROUGH CITADEL SERVICE

The Research Libraries Group (RLG) has signed an agreement with
INION (the Institute of Scientific Information in the Social Sciences,
which is part of the Russian Academy of Sciences) to make all INION
databases available through CitaDel, RLG's citations and
document-delivery service, for a period of three years beginning as
soon as the necessary technical arrangements can be made.

This is the first time North American researchers will have access to
these resources on a major bibliographic network.

INION is responsible for abstracting and indexing humanities and
social science periodicals published in what is now the Commonwealth
of Independent States and other nations in Eastern Europe.  It is one
of the world's largest producers of bibliographic information.

INION produces printed bibliographies in law, economics, history,
anthropology, archaeology, literary criticism, and philosophy.  The
INION databases include more than 1.2 million records and grow at
the rate of 270,000 records per year.  Under the agreement, INION
will have unlimited RLIN searching at no cost for three years.

RLG and INION will establish a joint committee to work out the
technical details of the data export, conversion, and load of INION
records in CitaDel and to explore ways of improving access to the
records, including English equivalents of Russian keywords and
romanization of key fields (author, title, edition, and
publication statements).

For more information on the CitaDel service, please contact the RLIN
Information Center toll-free at 800/537-RLIN; e-mail BL.RIC@RLG.BITNET
or BL.RIC@RLG.STANFORD.EDU (Internet).

Subject:      Hurricane Andrew update

Here is an update on the conditions at the University of Miami,
main campus in Coral Gables, plus a personal update for my colleagues
on this list -- I felt very isolated without access to the Internet
last week.

Richter Library (the main library on the Coral Gables campus) opened
yesterday.  The library had a minor leak around the 3rd floor skylight,
which flooded the lobby, but no other damage -- it fared better than
several other buildings on campus which had windows blown out.  Classes
have been postponed until Sept. 14; orientation and registration begin
Sept. 10.

Coming to campus is strange -- so many trees are down or pruned way back
and I am not used to having an uninterrupted view of the university
post office building which I can see from my office window on the first
floor of the library.

Library hours this week are 9-5, but employees (faculty and staff)
can take off for hurricane-related tasks without penalty or using
vacation time.  The university is really generous about this, and is
organizing relief efforts for employees who have lost their homes.

Our house made it through o.k. but we still don't have power and the
water is still unsafe to drink.  I took my 11-year-old daughter to Vero
Beach last Wed. where we stayed with my sister-in-law who has air
conditioning.  My son, who will be a freshman at U.M. this fall, is
staying with new-found friends in Ft. Myers -- he moved into the
dorm Sunday and the hurricane hit early Monday morning.  My husband
stayed home to guard the house -- alarm systems don't work when there
is no power, and this is, after all, Miami.

I may take some time off and help with the relief efforts -- I feel
I have to do something to help out since my family survived and we still
have our house.

Thank you all for your concern and your prayers.

Organization: University of Denver, Dept. of Math & Comp. Sci.
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 92 07:28:39 GMT

A recent thread on alt.sex.bondage reminded me of my beloved law-of-5.
Consider:

Three rings for the elven kings under the sky
Seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone
Nine for mortal men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne.

Spot the only missing odd digit...

Then there's the first three bars of the Adagio which starts the Ouverture
of Mozart's Zauberfloete, but that's another thread (more about Mozartian
musicologists than about WAM himself, IMHO).

And the coincidental typo in Falcon Press' first paperback edition of RAW's
"Cosmic Trigger 2", making Ezra Pound's residence in Italy, from Rapallo as
it was, into Rapollo -- Rapallo is sunny enough as it is, but no doubt Ra
(aka Apollo, aka Sol Invictus), should He exist, would be more pleased by
the alternate spelling.  But no, the note in those three bars is NOT a sol
(aka G), alas...

To:           "Daniel A. Foss" <DFOSS@SBCCVM.BITNET>

Please be advised that I have herewith broken my Resolution on the occasion
of Tish'ah B'Av (Jewish Fast of Depression) to refrain from further posting
to this list because my good friend Allan Adler is in error due to apparent
eyestrain: The initial passage said to have been posted to FNORD-L was in
fact from a private letter: I sign all postings to lists, "Daniel A. Foss,"
all private letters to Allan Adler, "<<<?>>>" emblematizing "phoniness,"
viz, "the dissassembled elements of the six pointed star kneeling in adoration
of the Nameless One who will come at the end of time to Deconstruct the
Unrevealed Text."

I use FNORD-L as a dumping ground for humorous fictionalized Kafkaizations of,
well, e-mail rumors of whatever's said to be outside this room, in the
tradition of Kafka's Amerika, a book written with the explicit assumption
that it would be the better for his never having gone anywhere near the
United States. He was clearly right. I continue this tradition as the Martian
living within the country: Although not actually *from* Mars, certainly looking
Marsish, "severe appearance deficits" says John H. Gagnon, world-famous
sociologist of deviance. Writing humor for FNORD-L is a hobby indulged during
breaks from fooling around writing for serious lists. So if Allan will recheck
the last line, he'll find that <<<?>>>. Whence follows, that what I wrote Allan
in that letter was jazzed-up gossip of the usual sexist character, which, as I
told him two letters later, was subject to "errors and distortions in the
retelling." In contrast to out and out fictionalization in deliberate TV mode,
where potsherds of the True are built into a [w]hole that's False; never watch
TV either.

So Al, if you're within sound of my keyboard, GO TO SLEEP, we age, the eyeball
rots, the worldaround turns chalkdeath white on midnightblack background with
bloodred Command Line before us always everywhere.

re, re, re...

joe at Gnu:
     I don't think you understand what has transpired.  No I do not.
While you were pulling yourselves together, Fnord-L underwent a subtle
change.  Those of us who have been faithful to this list from the get-go
have been having private conversations amongst ourselves.  Nothing
important, really, but it appears that we are in agreement that I am God.
    I don't like this any more than you do, Joe, but the facts are
the facts.  I first noticed godlike powers when I was thirteen in the
locker room.  I wasn't like the other boys.  I am responsible for
Reagan, Hitler, and Honey I Blew Up the Kid.  Jesus didn't die for your
sins, he died because of my incompetence.  I'm sorry.  Do you know how
ashamed I felt, before I knew I was a...I'll say it: DIETY.
     I have accepted this cruel joke causality has played upon me with
dignity and courage.  I am surrounded by bureaucrats who spin their
wheels all day and nothing gets done.  I'm getting kinda tired of the
same-old, same-old.  Thinkin' about another plague or something.

Oh, by the way, my advisors tell me that you are building another
Babel.  Now, contrary to sub-literate interperetations, I really liked
the original.  Kinda made me proud.  But then it was suggested that it
might be a gigantic phallus, and some of my associates are rather,
well, homophobic.  I know, I know, not very enlightened, but they've
got tenure, so I can't get rid of 'em.  Anyway, we were thinking of
something more like a tunnel this time.  See how deep you can make it.
You've always been good at digging holes.

Forget space, you'll never get that far.  Fact is, infinity's only an
inch away...oh shit, well, I don't mean literally an inch away.  I
meant that figuratively.  But it's closer than you think. If I've
offended anyone out there, I'm sorry.  I like you guys, you're better'n
television.

Subject:      Apologies?!?!?

Dear Mr. Robert Holder:

I'm sorry that you felt the need to apologize.  Some private advice,
from you to me: if you make a mistake, DON'T LET THEM KNOW!  If they
see a weak spot in your defenses, they'll jump through and tear you
to shreds.  So you insulted someone?  Tell them you meant it and
laugh in their faces as they cry to your mommy!  You never see the
government admit their mistakes, do you?  We all know they make plenty,
but if they ever admitted it, the schmuck on the street (speaking of
Gallup polls...) would vote 'em out.  They can't let that happen,
can they?

You've really got to wonder about an election system where it seems
that the primary objective of the candidates is to put *themselves*
in office, and are willing to lie about what they're really going to
do.  Dukakis lost because he admitted that we needed to raise taxes
to accomplish anything useful.

Politics, Love, and Happiness,
crism, who no longer works for a Slackless insurance company, though my
     Dobbshead is still on the wall...

Remember, when you are faced with a seemingly impossible task, that you
were created in the image of a god, and therefore have godlike powers.
If you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.

I don't have any question in particular.  The introduction is quite
amazing, with a complete blasting of Deterministic Science and the
Newtonian-Cartesian Paradigm.

I first got into Grof because his name kept coming up (along with
Lilly's) in regards to Ketalar/Ketaject/Ketamine/Vitamin K/Super K/
Special K/64K/invent your own K.  (If you have any others, please
