Excellent!

A bit over the Right edge, wot?

Not really. Go look at the NEA lesson plans. Then get back to me on
their content.


The only way to make the Left open to the Rights ideas..is with a
shaped charge.

Speaking of those, I just finished Robert Marcinko's "Rogue Warrior".
I was in tears laughing at some points. That was a truly great
autobiographical story. (I'm now 40 pages into my last unread Niven
book, "Ringworld Children" and rank his work right up there with
Asimov and Heinlein.)

I met him years ago. Dastardly Dicky is quite a charector. G

There are 3-4 other books of his out, I think..think...that they are
fictional..but with him..it would be hard to really know.

There are 7 books total I believe..the next one to read is:
Red Cell (which I believe to be largely factual..having known some of
of the players)

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...867776-3667036

I tend to go more with Niven/Pournell works...Lucifers Hammer,
Footfall, the Bolo series..etc etc.

Lucifers Hammer is a great survivors book.. G
