	I have heard that on the January 29th editin of "Entertainment Tonight", the hosts put forth the rumor that the novel, "Thinner", attributed to a man
named Richard Bachman, was in reality written by Stephen King. Although a 
photo of the gentleman appears on the inside of the dust jacket, and the book
is dedicated to his wife (Claudia Inez Bachman?), the only info about this
person is under the photo: "Richard Bachman lives and works in New Hampshire".
Could the rumor be true? Anyone out there who could shed some light on this
issue?

	Also, a personal note to Jerry Boyajian: As usual, I am having trouble
getting through to you on the net. Please contact me, and give me your address
in case I can't post anything to you on this blasted network. Thanks.
