From: kevin%bartok.DEC@decwrl.ARPA (Kevin LaRue ``You can hack anything you want with TECO and DDT'') For all of the dirty details, see Harlan Ellison's ``Somehow, I don't think we're in Kansas, Toto'' which originally appeared as the introduction to Edward Bryant's novelization of Ellison's screenplay for ``Phoenix Without Ashes.'' (It has been collected in Ellison's ``Stalking the Nightmare.'') Ellison's original screenplay won the 1974 Writer's guild of America Award for Most Outstanding Film/TV Screenplay. It bears no resemblance to anything which ever appeared on TV under the name ``The Starlost,'' a fact which Ellison very bitterly (and rightly, it appears to me) points out. I thoroughly enjoyed Bryant's novelization and highly recommend it. Be seeing you! Kevin
