The only ones that really had any style were the various >series by Ted Mark (real name: Ted Gottfried), especially The Man from O.R.G.Y. I was visiting my hometown this weekend, & went to a used bookshop. Not the college-town type of used store: textbooks on at most one shelf and AISLES and AISLES of nurse/gothic/westerns. And there I found it: "I Was A Teeny-Bopper for the CIA", by Ted Mark. I spent the trip back regretting not buying it. Not that I thought that it would be any good...but I'd love to have it in my "pure tripe for now people" collection, right nxt to my copies of "Operation: Super Ms." and "The Psychedelic Spy" (by Andy Offutt and T.A. Waters, respectively). -- "I utterly disagree with what you are saying, but if you keep on saying it, I will get violent." -- Voltaire's brother-in-law Rick Keir -- MicroComputer Information Center, MACC 1210 West Dayton St/U Wisconsin Madison/Mad WI 53706 {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!rick
