By "Mesico" I mean "Mexico"—of course. (Should not post before sufficient coffee!)

Curse the short edit window: "...when Lewis became Christian again..."

Avram Davidson wrote fantasy, science fiction & mysteries—plus nonfiction in the fields of Jewish studies & the arcana represented in his "Adventures in Unhistory."

You didn't mention it at all!

In Cordwainer Smith's far future, "manshonyaggers" roamed a ruined Earth; their name was a corrupted form of the German "Menschenjäger"—a hunter of men. Hey, read about them here: [www.baenebooks.com]

Well, CBS is doing "Elementary"—a modern Sherlock Holmes! What an amazing idea!

Starships don't have cannons! Oh, you really meant "canon." I watched the original Trek series on its first run & have followed the later series & most of the movies, although I'm neither a Trekkie nor a Trekker.

Amazon will release the DVD's & BluRays of Series 2 on May 22nd. I'm pretty sure they will include the full versions. Plus the 2 commentaries and a "making of" feature.
