Clarke camp (_2001: A Space Odessy_) The Prince camp (_1999_). Who is right? The Arthur C. Clarke people. Who will have the biggest parties? The Prince people. The thought of the the 2001 people telling the 1999 people that the "big event" won't happen for another year brings to mind Pee Wee Herman scolding the bikers in the biker bar "Could you puh-LEAZE keep it down, I'm TRY-ing to use the phone!"
