In the recent discussions on the NOVA dramatization of Cliff Stoll's book,
"Cuckoo's Egg," people marvelled at the way Cliff played
himself. A few subversives said Cliff should not have played
himself.
I believe "Cuckoo's Egg" would do well as a full-length feature film. I
now make a few suggestions for people who could play Cliff, in order of
preference:

    1. Martin Short
    2. John Malkovich
    3. Maurice Gibb
    4. Rod Stewart
    5. Robert Plant
    6. Brad Dourif
    7. Gary Burghoff
    8. Gerard Depardieu
I know 7 seems a bit far-fetched, but who cares about a dissimilarity in
physical appearances? It's that unpretentious spirit that counts, and 
besides, Burghoff has experience with IBM PCs.
