       1. What are you gonna do?  You try to be nice to someone,  you  try
       to  help  someone out, and are they satisfied?  No!  They figure if
       you are willing to do one nice thing for them, you want to  make  a
       general  practice  of  it.   Last  week we published an unsolicited
       testimonial for the AAUW book sale.   You'd  think  they  would  be
       happy with that, wouldn't you?  Well, you'd be wrong.  No sooner do
       I give the AAUW some free publicity, but I get a new piece of mail:

            Thanks for mentioning the AAUW booksale in your Sci Fi
            news letter. Could you also mention at your meeting that
            donations are accepted and can be dropped off Saturdays
            at the bookstore or by calling 671-1914 or 583-4739 for
            collection.

            Thanks,
            <name deleted so no one gets insulted>

       Now never mind the fact that  most  science  fiction  fans  totally
       cringe  at the phrase "Sci Fi" as being derogatory.  I will ascribe
       this as being one piece of knowledge this  particular  AAUW  member
       did  not  get  at  U.   She  can  be  forgiven that little faux pas
       (pronounced "fox paw").  But the affrontery to ask  for  more  free
       publicity after she just got some free, well I just don't know what
       to say!  So there!












                                  - 2 -



       And if you want Sci Fi books, you probably are better off coming to
       the club book exchanges.  Hah!

       2. I don't know if any of you were listening to public  radio,  but
       they  were  talking  about scientists are now starting to wonder if
       the estimates of nuclear winter  are  correct.   One  scientist  is
       suggesting  that  the  heavy clouds would keep heat in and we would
       instead have a "nuclear summer."  Another said that the two effects
       would  almost  cancel  each  other  out  and  that  we would have a
       "nuclear autumn."  My guess  is  that  we  would  have  a  "nuclear
       Halloween."   That's  where  you  get  minor  cooling  and a lot of
       mutations.
