	I'm afraid that I tend to head TOWARDS books with intelligent sea
mammals, although I can't say much for DAY OF THE DOLPHIN in either book
or film form.  There have been one or two others that stank. A couple of
years ago there was a story in Galaxy called "The Girl and the Dolphin"
whose plot I could pretty much guess before I read the story:  I was
right, but I still kinda liked the story in spite of it.
	However, I always thought it was too bad that John Meyers (I think that
was the last name:  it's been a while) (DOLPHIN BOY, DAUGHTERS OF THE
DOLPHIN and DESTINY OF THE DOLPHINS) died before he finished the fourth
book, so that I'd know what happened after the end of DotD.  I certainly
enjoyed David Brin's books on the Uplift saga, and hope he writes more.

	(Whose home and office, in spite of my using a Dandelion, are littered
with dolphin art work, jewelry, and other paraphenalia, many given by
friends .  And I *can't* stand unicorns, in spite of the fact that some
of my well-intentioned friends think "well, she likes fantasy, so she
must like..."!  I also avoid overly cutesy/cartoony dolphins, but have
Wyland's realistic-but-silly PUNK DOLPHIN on my wall at work.)
