Re: time travel - My favorite story about time travel is "The Time
Hoppers" by Robert Siverberg. I know it's more of a story of the human costs
of time travel rather than the technical, but I still think it's one of the
best stories around.
Re: City on the Edge of Forever - I have seen the TV show AND read
the original screen play (published in the book, "Six Modern Science Fiction
Plays" (I don't remember by whom)) and I find the original script by Mr.
Ellison MUCH superior to the version shown on TV. The script definitely de-
served all the awards it won (I wish I could say the same for the TV
version...).
I just got back from seeing "Airplane II: The Sequel". It is a
fantastic movie (if you liked the kind of bad jokes and horrible puns in
Airplane!). I won't tell you any more of the plot except that it takes
place on the first lunar shuttle flight and that several of the cast are
back. Also, in the closing credits it says, "Coming soon from Paramount
(or whatever the hell company made it), "AIRPLANE III"! I heartily re-
commend it to anyone who liked the first movie!
