Thanks in advance. > These are radio scripts, posted on the same day they are aired (which is why you sometimes read them two or three days late). The pauses are for the station to throw in thier announcements. If you want to hear them on the same day, inquire about StarDate at your local station. If they don't carry it, ask them why not! -- "Men never do evil so cheerfully and so completely as when they do so from religious conviction." -- Blaise Pascal Bill Jefferys 8-% Astronomy Dept, University of Texas, Austin TX 78712 (USnail) {allegra,ihnp4}!{ut-sally,noao}!utastro!bill (uucp) bill%utastro.UTEXAS@ut-sally.ARPA (ARPANET)
