Another version of "Alien"!! (Oct 31 2003 20:58 GMT) - Why on Earth (or in outer space, for that matter) would you pay to see “Alien” again? You probably already own it on VHS or DVD. The snippets of new footage tacked on to this “Director’s Cut” hardly amount to much. And you already know what’s going to happen when John Hurt doubles over in pain and clutches his stomach. |

Librarily We Roll Along (Oct 31 2003 20:56 GMT) - I've had a few interesting library tidbits sitting in my in-box and on my desk; putting them here, of course, gets them out, off, and in front of you :).

(Oct 31 2003 20:54 GMT) - A little tale of McCarthyism amongst the Chosen People...I generally stay away from matters Israelo-Palestinian: never been there, know neither Hebrew nor the diglossia of Arabic, the world and his wife got there first.So whether the vignette from today's Ha'aretz (October 31) is typical or an utter aberration, I know not.

(Oct 31 2003 20:54 GMT) - Wounded Iraq vets: the story still hasn't caught fireIt's nearly a week ago (October 23, to be precise) that I mentioned the story of the poorly treated wounded men shipped back from Iraq to Fort Stewart, GA: there was the intrinsic interest of the story, of course.
