  Hi Steve,
   I just saw a quote in my editor I had forgotten I had:
   "You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in
   common, they don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter
   the facts to fit the views, which can be uncomfortable, if you
   happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."
   - Doctor #4, THE FACE OF EVIL
   Sorta fitting, wouldn't you say?
   I ahven't seen it in awhile.  I gotta get to it soon to see what
I thought of it.
   Oh?  I hope you do.  I'd be intereated in seeing that.
   Didn't you hear?  The Tenth Planet 4 was found in Poland.  <G>
   Man, did I miss alot!  It would be interesting to "talk" to someone
who was there!
   I'd have to say "The Two Doctors" is my favorite Colin Baker story.
Main because of Patrick Troughton.  After that, "Attack of the Cybermen"
and "Timelash".
   Yes!  Someone who agrees with me.  I find myself in the video store
looking at the Sylvester McCoy episodes and wishin that more with Ace in
them had been released so I could buy one.  There was one instance where
I turned around and bought the Colin Baker story, "The Twin Dilemma",
rather than buying one with Mel in it.
