   For this and similar requests (like the constitution on net.politics)
   I suggest trying the database department (or the English or PoliSci or
   whatever appropriate dept) at a university. We have a set of tapes
   (donated by the Speech department in 1978, I think) containing a
   remarkable variety of written works - 13654 lines of the New testament
   (New English Version, all cap. letters), large portions of Milton's
   "Paradise Lost", "El Cid" (in Spanish), 47 presidential inagural
   addresses, articles from "Playboy", political speeches, protest
   speeches, black power speeches, selections from Clarence Darrow, etc.,
   etc., etc. Other places might have a similar but different variety.

   If anyone wants a copy of this portion of the Bible, please send
   me a BITNET address, or send a tape to "Carolyn Clark, 215C
   Computer Building, The Pennsylvania State University, University
   Park, PA 16802." But please do try your local university first.
