No dust jacket. I'm into the 3rd season now. It's easy reading but not compelling reading. I agree with Pat C, it's not worth the high price tag, but it's still a nice addition if one wants such a thing on their bookshelf. I haven't read Muir's other books, but he certainly has more about recycled Space 1999 props than about B7! Sorry Judith, I'm taking a long time to write up a review for your website. I'm losing another baby and it's a tough time. I have two columns due the end of the month and that takes priority. Feel free to pinch content from my previous emails.

Would Avon, who was not very politically minded, taken Blake's word in all matters of political policy? I think not! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2000 21:03:39 -0700 From: Helen Krummenacker <avona@jps.net> To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: [B7L] Rights Message-ID: <389CF29B.1BB9@jps.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mistal: > I know 'many, many people' (<g> well, okay, just many people) > who are concerned about maintaining gun rights for a *variety* > of reasons.

Well, what do you consider to be meant by the right not being infringed? Are trigger locks an unconciencable infringement of your right, even though they don't mean you cannot own the fiream? What about laws that say you can't carry a concealed weapon without a permit? You can't bear your firearm very easily, then. Are grenade launchers and tanks also included? Thay are, after all, arms of a sort, and would be very useful in defending our homes against governmental abuse. Not all people who want gun control want them taken away. They simply want gun owners to be knowlegable, careful, and to keep their guns out of the hands of career criminals. A 'well-ordered' milita will have trained in gun safety. You don't need training to buy a gun, but you need it for pepper spray. And as for what people thought were the founding fathers intentions in the 40s... that's only 60 years ago, hardly in a position to be more in touch with the Constitution than we are. In fact, the "One nation under God" line from the pledge of alligence comes from the 40s. It is not part of our national tradition going back any farther than that. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2000 20:46:48 -0800 From: Pat Patera <patpatera@netzero.net> To: B7 Lysator <blakes7@lysator.liu.se> Subject: [B7L] Beatles 7 Message-ID: <389CFCB8.2C9A13BA@netzero.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The brilliantly creative Mistral wrote: > Travis for Pete Best, I think, as he doesn't play well with the others.

Yes, by the time the band released serious songs (you call it of substance) it was easy to tell who wrote what. But I found their earlier compositions far more pleasing. And, I'd read that each let the other critique the compositions - and perhaps improve with a dash of sweet or sour? Rather like Blake showing his plans to Avon and letting the tech add a dash of pragmatism. Lone Avon's plans might have gone better had Blake been allowed to add a dash of optimism. >>Alas, that leaves Jenna, Cally, Soolin and Dayna to be groupies. Oh! sic. Never mind. >They could always get together as Goldie and the Gingerbreads... Hooray! a new game.

There are four people who have confirmed they are going so far. Some of us are meeting for noodles in China Town at about 4pm and then going down to Pages for about 5.30pm. If you can come, let me know please. Pages Bar is on Page Street, London SW1P. Nearest tubes are Pimlico and Westminster and railway stations Charing Cross, Victoria and Waterloo are not far away. The No 88 bus, which you can pick up near Piccadilly Circus, goes right past the door. The C10 bus also goes past the door and you can get that at Victoria. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson "In my world, there are people in chains and you can ride them like ponies" The alternative Willow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer -------------------------------- End of blakes7-d Digest V00 Issue #35 *************************************
