Sol Yurik's latest novel, "Richard A." definitely falls within the science fiction spectrum. Richard A. is a wild-talent phone freak who devises a system to tap conversations on selected phones and then tap automatically the persons called by his subjects. He does this for fun, but unwittingly stumbles across webs of intrigue surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis (the book is set in the early 60's). Ultimately, he discovers that his role is not so accidental, and he finds himself involved in a millenia-old struggle between two groups manipulating history: a group of Taoists and a group of Kabbalists. Definitely worth reading, though it leaves you a bit paranoid. ------------------------------ Date: 4 Nov 1982 1516-EST From: TYG at MIT-OZ at MIT-MC Subject: Harlan Ellison lecture Ellison will be lecturing on Monday November 29th at the Harvard Law Forum. 8PM, in the Ames Courtroom, Austen Hall, Harvard Law School. It's open to the public, and there will be a charge of at most $2.50, possibly less. tom galloway ------------------------------ Date: 4 Nov 1982 0907-EST From: RG.JMTURN at MIT-OZ Subject: SW Parody That looks suspiciously like something I put on about 1.5 years ago, +/- enhancements along the way. BTW, if Spock really did do a core dump to McCoy, he'd better look out for head crashes...

Spock can't be in two places at the same time . . . - Speaker How do you know that? Maybe he dumped the Vulcan half of his personality into McCoy's subconscious and left his Human half (which he's always been trying to get rid of anyway) in his own body, to be destroyed along with his body. Hey, now that's an elegant solution. Problem is that the Vulcan side that's left over is really not Spock. The internal conflict between the two sides of his personality are what made Spock such an intriguing character. Besides, Spock wasn't in contact with McCoy long enough even for the 'Vulcan Mind Meld', much less a complete seperation and transfer of his consciousness. - Speaker speaker.Umcp-Cs@Udel-Relay ------------------------------ Date: 30 October 1982 03:01-EDT (Saturday) From: Mijjil (Matthew Jody Lecin) Subject: RotJ: anyone besides me think that it means just because the Jedi would not WANT revenge doesn't mean they'll get some anyway? {m} ------------------------------ End of SF-LOVERS Digest ***********************
