(there are no bugs, only fixes) This month's "Firehouse" magazine column on Emergency Medical Services shows a photo of Michael Jackson on fire. Sorry, I can't post it to the net. -Ron "What you mean net.flame isn't a group about fire departments?"

that BLACK people burn? Maybe I missed some-
thing.

As long as we're discussing Ignited Negroes, we ought to mention one of the major literary instances...to be found in Rudyard Kipling's science fiction story, "Easy as. A.B.C.," as written in the early 1900s. The setting was a world after some great war (everyone sort of reflexively kept six months food and water in their homes). There was no formal government except for the Aerial Board of Control, which permitted war (and anything else) as long as it did not "interfere with the traffic and all that that implies" (last five words italicized). Chicago had one famous work of art left over from a previous generation, a famous artist's statue, The Nigger in Flames--"dedicated to the eternal memory of the Justice of the People." More details on request. --Lee Gold
