Some of you may have noticed that, several years ago, when a cinematic piece
of excrement called "The Legend of The Lone Ranger" was released, Clayton
Moore, one of the two (and probably the most famous) actors who played the
Masked Defender of Law & Justice on TV, had a legal restraining order
slapped on him to stop him from wearing his mask in public. As any
red-blooded American lad of the 60's, I grew up with the image of Moore as
*THE* Lone Ranger (he also did the voice for radio at one time), and I put
this shyster trick down as just another sign that this country was being
demoralized by sinister forces out there. Somewhere (You Know Who You Are).
Needless to say, the movie would have better off with a silver bullet
through the head... and all we got out of it were some rather witty ads for
sunglasses...
And so, for the last four years, America has gone without its greatest
symbol of all that is right and just in this land of milk and honey and
opportunity and moral values and Vitamin C. And K-Tel.
And we were the worse for it.
Until yesterday.
For out of the thundering west, an incorruptible judge (apparently the ONLY
incorruptible judge in LA), gave Moore his mask back. Moore said, "It will
never leave me again." (I was hoping for a "Hi-yo Silver", but it's
difficult at best to get a stallion into a courtroom...).
A hearty cry, a cloud of dust, and the hoofbeats of the great horse Silver...

However many times I have seen certain parts of said stallion there. (I'm sorry, there was absolutily no way I could pass that one up) Scott E. Farleigh AT&TIS Denver
