From: utzoo!decvax!duke!ucf-cs!bratman Newsgroups: net.movies Title: E.T. ** spoiler ** Article-I.D.: ucf-cs.603 Posted: Tue Jun 15 22:51:51 1982 Received: Fri Jun 18 04:38:05 1982 A question. Since E.T. had the power of telekinesis, why didn't he use it to escape the government agents in the beginning of the movie, to get back to his ship? Could it be because he couldn't use it on himself, but only on inanimate objects like a bicycle? Any other suggestions? Steve Bratman
