Haven't any of those people heard of John Sayles? Or would they prefer to forget *The Return of the Seacaucus Seven*? (I've got a fixation on this topic.) A big HOORAY for Linda Hunt; I'm really looking forward to seeing her as the Shadout Mapes in *Dune* this December. I think the editing for *The Right Stuff* would have been even better if they'd let them keep in the extra half hour or so. Some scenes seemed to end too abruptly. It would have been nice if they'd mentioned "whatever happened to ..." for the rest of the astronauts, too, not just Grissom. They did get Wolfe's style down pretty good, though, but it missed ... the commentary ... the thoughts inside their heads ... the constant repetition of "the *Right Stuff*" every half page.
