revenge." |

Let 'Em Speak Greek
Henry Bob Kulup, our non pareil educationist is always ready
with answers to what ails us pedagogically. Wait'll you get his take on what's wrong with
America's schools and How to Fix Them in Two Easy
Steps.What Happened
to Movies (and Books and Music and
Art)
That Matter?
Immerse yourself in a brave new world of hi-tech
profit, Ceci Lumley says, and next thing you know the world's gotten a whole lot emptier.
TEACHING:
A Thought Experiment
Angus Verspeeten indulges in a little
brain- storming about la condition humaine which might be better described as
"brain- exploding.
2/29: Remembrance of Time Lost, or, What
Price Capitalism?
We got out the old calculator and figured up how much of our lives, as good
consumers, we spend watching TV commercials. The result, which is not pretty, is here.

Cars & Crystal Balls: Update
Pedkop Bumbera is having serious second thoughts about the future, based on the blah car designs which he sees
filling showroom floors and car show pedestals these days.

Qar Quiz
Questions they never ask on driver's license tests... but probably should. Prepare to face the reality the level of your car
knowledge, and your attitude once your loose on the streets.

No IPO? No advertising? How do we do it? We sometimes wonder too. Quality

revenge."

The Texas Tao
The Wit & Wisdom of Texas Truckers
Hardy Metcalf,
Ph.D., America's self-described "first traffic shrink," spent many a long night
with his C.B. radio, parked on this Interstate highway or that one, eavesdropping on
truckers' nocturnal chatter. The Texas Tao, an
ebook, is the, um, unusual record of what he heard.
The Ecstasy of Sanctimony
Temple Duciel, book person to the end, thinks that right at the
cusp of the millennium a-- if not the-- great American novel has appeared. He doesn't come
right out and say it but his unbridled praise for Philip
Roth's The Human Stain leaves no doubt about his high opinion of the book, a
complex lens bringing clarity of focus to several of the confused conflicts shaping
America at present.
Lethe Lite
Cassandra's back! Our prophet who gets out on the wrong side of bed EVERY morning this time lets fly at television. It may be in
hi-rez color with surround sound, but, she says, it's still not a pretty picture.

In one of our more significant publishing coups, we offer readers a preview of
what will no doubt be one of the hits of the next publishing season: "Slosh! The
Unacknowledged Effects of Hormones on Human History," by P.F. Brumbeloe, Jr., M.D.
Dr. Brumbeloe, after examining hundreds of thousands of people around the world, has
arrived at a new understanding of the chemical bases
of all human striving.
Are You a Curmudgeon?
Having a little trouble dealing with the cultural vagaries of the new
millennium? The behavior of some of your fellow millennialists is beginning to get under
your skin? We've prepared a brief quiz to help you
find out just maladjusted you may be.
I SPY
Joel Fluker, our guy inside the Beltway, somehow got hold of a top secret document about
US from the Galactic Federation. You can read-- and try to laugh at-- the bad news here.
