| 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. 

If I remember correctly, Cliff said NOVA ended up being
the proper/best place for the presentation. The idea
for a full-length film had been discarded.

That's the way I remember what he said.
[I saw him at a book signing yesterday, where he was asked
lots of different questions & told us a lot of things]

If you doubt what I say or wish clarification,
write cliff@cfa.harvard.edu.
Don't expect an answer until late June.
He said he has 500 letters in his mbox and
by the time he finishes his lecture tour
it will be mid-June before he can start replying.
