Hmmm....maybe you're right it _wasn't_ Rohmer.....but can't think of : anyone else paranoid enough... I just happen to have a copy of said novel handy... Title: The Trudeau Papers Authour: Ian Adams Copyright: 1971 A rather depressing little piece. The USA and USSR lob nukes at each other, which fall in Canada. Things go worse from there. Besides Rohmer's "Exxoneration" series and the Trudeau Papers, can anybody name any novels about the US taking over Canada, in the Past, Present, or Future? "The Two Georges" is another fun novel - King George and George Washington came to a historic agreement, leading to "British North America". -- Daniel Boese db97al@badger.ac.brocku.ca

(half a dozen (alien) bodies, one mind... the farther apart they get, the stupider they get.) What online resources are there for HERO (mostly Champions)? Is the Ultimate Mentalist worth buying? What else should I be asking? :) Thanks in advance, -- Daniel Boese dboese@freenet.npiec.on.ca --

They've all got advantages, and are more useful in certain situations than others (ie, influence mapping seems like it would be excellent if you had a several forces on each side, some surrounding each other). But is there any way for the AI to recognize which method to use in a particular situation? Or would it do a "quickie" run of each, and compare? Then again, I'm not entirely sure I have any idea what I'm talking about... :) -- -- Daniel Boese aka Flying Fox dboese@freenet.niagara.com
During late high school, moved to a new apartment – across the hall from one where my Nanny and Gramps used to live.
Circa this year (plus or minus a couple), my highschool put on a production of the musical “Hair”. At the end of the run, most of the actors had their locks shorn. That’s around when I stopped getting mine cut.
As I’m also a teetotaler (in good company with Asimov, Feynman, and Randi), and I don’t tend to hang out in graveyards, then depending on who you ask, I could qualify as being some sort of atheistic Nazirite.
Attended Laura Secord Secondary school for most of high school, grades 9 and up.
Late in grade 8, joined a school trip to Boston, Massachusetts.
