Lines: 17 From: Jamie.Zawinski@CMU-CS-SPICE Next thursday at 8:00, ABC will be broadcasting a movie called THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. It's (nano-review, no spoilers) about a heavily armored aircraft carrier which slips through some sort of wormhole and finds itself off the coast of Hawaii in 1941, just before the attack on pearl harbor. The crew has a very difficult time deciding whether to interfere with history or let things progress naturally. Though it doesn't really explain how they got there or how such paradoxes are possible, it's a very good movie. Just thought you'd want to know... -- Jamie [jwz@cmu-cs-spice] "Ms. Peel -- We're needed."
