Not only that.  Name a GOOD current anime series that comes from a manga.
YAWARA and RANMA don't count, as they are DOA.

It used to be that if a manga series became popular enough, it would get
it's own TV series.  URUSEI YATSURA.  CITY HUNTER.  FIST OF THE NORTH STAR.

What happens nowadays?  They make 4 half-hour OVAs, a quick buck, and that's
that.  Don't tell me there's not good TV material out there.

Someone earlier posted that they were looking for information about

surrealist, abstract-impressionist artists experimented with different
ways to bring out their creativity with and without the use of drugs.
You might look into artists like Man Ray(photographer), Jackson Pollack,

Rudy--
My suggestion is to go to your local museum in Houston (excellent
collection) and make an appointment with either the curator, registrar
or conservator. Or even a local appraisser--typically a fine art gallery
owner but there is a national organization of appraisser you can contact
for those who are certified (for about $25-50 or more for written
appriasal). If it is what you say it is, the drawing can be very
valuable and worth insuring. Good Luck.

I haven't been in Washington for many years, but several things
were my favorites when I lived there. 

The Phillips Gallery, near Dupont Circle, which is located
in the townhouse that belonged to the Phillips family
and now houses their superb collection of
modern art (impressionists, mostly, with Miro, Dali, too).

One of my favorite places was the room at the Freer Gallery
on the mall that contained Whistler's "white lady" painting.
I think they called it the Peacock Room? Terrific atmosphere.

There's the National Gallery, which is superb for many things,
especially early Renaissance, and the Hirschorn
sculpture gallery. There's the National Museum of Women in the Arts,
too.

And then for something completely different there's the Smithsonian!

Enjoy your trip!

If you're a good writer, they're not necessary, as you can effectively
get the tone across by your choice of words.  Which is why you never see
them in print, because professional writers do the work in books and
magazines.  They're only necessary for the rest of us.  Personally, I

If you can get one of the nawk versions of awk for the MS-DOS PC this
is a way to do it. This will also work on UNIX systems that do not
have the BSD type fortunes.

  1)  Extract the trek.quotes file according to the original
      message.
  2)  Convert the trek.quotes from BSD type to stfortune type with
      the first awk program.
  3a) Run the second awk program to generate the random fortune.
  3b) Also included is a UNIX shell script which also will generate
      a fortune. Be sure to change the path to the quotes file
      before using it.

By the way, I don't understand this attitude of "Why write to so-and-so;
s/he won't write back."  If you want to say, "Hey, I like your stuff," why
do you want a letter back?

I've frequently been hesitant to write to authors I admire, because what I
want to write, really, is a thank-you note that requires no answer.  But I
want to send a SASE, in case the author should -want- to answer.  But that
looks as if I -expect- an answer...

You can go 'round and 'round wih this, till you give up and never write at
all, which is a pity, I think.  Writing has so little natural feedback.

	Reading that "Cost of Living" is regarded as the worst TNG episode
	so far brings to mind something I read about "Hollow Pursuits."

	The original writer of Hollow Pursuits is a University of Rochester
	English professor who was fascinated by the holodeck and wrote
	a nice story about a young engineer who couldn't separate
	holodeck fantasy from reality.

	Although the Trek producers accepted the story, they insisted
	that an element of danger be added, so the second story about
	systems failures and invidium was invented and grafted onto
	the basic Barclay story.  The writer was surprised at how little 
	of her original story was left after the Trek staff writers got
	through with it.

	I suspect the same thing happened with "Cost of Living."  Some
	non-Trek writer probably wrote a nice little story about two
	families' adjustments to life.  Someone at Paramount decided it
	needed an element of danger, so they added the space slime.

	If the Trek staff had left it alone there would have been more
	time for the people story.  We don't always need a crisis
	to make an interesting storyline.
