In the spirit of plugging the listmembers' work, I'd like to
note that Jim's turn on last night's THE LYON'S DEN was the
best piece of acting in that agreeable episode...some day,
I'll ask What Elizabeth Mitchell's Really Like.
Also, the other night I dipped into Ed Gorman and MH
Greenberg's most recent WORLD'S FINEST annual, and so far,
hard to argue with...Clark Howard's "To Live and Die and
Midland, Texas" starts a bit pedestrianly, but by its end has
become a very persuasive, calmly-told bit of HB no one here
should miss. Kate Wilhelm's fine (and sobering) borderline
horror and Val McDermid's clever bit of revenge are as far
else as I've gotten in the fiction; only nit I'd pick with
Jon Breen and Ed Hoch's nonfiction in the front of the book
is that between them they neglect the CF magazines, beyond
noting the sudden passing of Cathleen Jordan.
And I note Five Star is discounting some of their hb CF and
western fiction...I hope that isn't a prelude to putting it
out of print.
