I've been seeing "Moonies!" scrawled on the side of those decorative :-) orange Washington Times (n.b. -- NOT Washington Post) dispensers. Is this true? Is the Washington Times owned by the Unification Church? It does seem rather right-wing ... -- Melinda Shore University of Chicago Computation Center uucp: ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!shor Mailnet: staff.melinda@uchicago.mailnet Bitnet: shor%sphinx@uchicago.bitnet ARPA: staff.melinda%uchicago.mailnet@mit-multics.arpa

So convenient the demise of the Wash. Star just in time to provide a surplus of equipment and writers, too. But the boxes aren't decorative. USAToday boxes are decorative. :-) -dave

>From: hsu@cvl.UUCP (Dave Hsu) >But the boxes aren't decorative. USAToday boxes are decorative. :-) I read that they're designed to look like TV's. Which makes sense, given the drivel inside. You know how they're always running headlines like "We're Growing Older" and "We're Getting Healthier"? My favorite (an actual headline) was from a story on how Americans are eating more "healthy" foods. The headline was "We're Eating Our Liver". Mike Kelly
