Nope. On a related note, could somebody buy the writers an Almanac that covers 1973 so they can keep their references straight? The radio tells us it's almost Mother's Day but the DA's crack about the FCC's "case against George Carlin" only makes sense *after* WBAI actually broadcasts the seven dirty words on Tuesday, October 30, 1973, and even then it took a while to work its way from complaint to ruling to lawsuit. (The Supreme Court ruling was in 1978.) Given that Mother's Day was May 13th and the last "Laugh-In" broadcast was May 14th, it doesn't make any sense that the newspaper would have an article about Skylab 2 (the repair mission) when it was Skylab 1 (the unmanned launch of the actual space station) that lifted off on May 14th. The astronauts didn't lift off until May 25th. I'm digging the US edition but the shoddy research is very distracting. -- Ed Dravecky III http://www.fencon.org/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
