This inbreeding of the imagination is obvious in almost all of the TV and most of the movies that one sees. The catch-22 (good book, poor movie) is that they are giving us what we want, which is what we are used to, which is what they are used to, which is why they give it to us, and so forth. The solution is to nuke Hollywood. Cheers, John ("Send Flames to allegra!honey") DeTreville Bell Labs, Murray Hill
