Fred Runk and DER were  talking aboutthisand that....
 
FR> FR>Err...You seem to have forgotten James Bond!
 
FR> DER> Sorry...IMO, James Bond is kiddie fare to anything that LeCarre
FR> DER> writes!
 
FR>Yeah, closer to comic book hero stuff, actually.
 
IMO, the books aren't much better than the movies.  The only James Bond
movies that were worth watching were the early ones with Sean Connery.
:)
 
FR> DER> Brave fellow!!  I am always appalled when I see the poor grammar,
FR> DER> atrocious spelling and general lack of comprehension of students 
hat
FR> DER> are graduating from high school.  However, I work closely with two
 
FR>My two summer courses that just finished today  (still have to grade 
finals)
FR>consisted mostly of high school students--jrs. and snrs.  No comment.
 
Your silence is deafening! :)
 
FR> DER> high school teachers in a club that I belong to, and, to be 
erfectly
FR> DER> honest with you, neither of them could spell their way out of a 
aper
FR> DER> bag!!
 
FR>That's what spell checkers are for.    >g<
 
 I really wonder what's going to happen to future generations that
cannot add or subtract without a calculator or spell without a spell
checker.  A major power outage and they are brain dead!
 
I worked in an office in the 70's that decided to become a "paperless"
pioneer.  The employees were dragged to their new computers, kicking and
screaming, and it took close to a year before everyone had all of their
files entered.  Wasn't too long after that there was a power outage, and
everyone was wondering around like zombies because they "didn't have
anything to do"!  They had forgotton how to process things manually!  It
was pretty sad. :(
 
FR>Will start DAUGHTERS OF CAIN in a day or so.  Interesting title as I think
FR>I remember seeing another book that had "Cain" in the title.
 
FR>I also read the collection of short stories with Morse--MORSE'S GREATEST
FR>MYSTERY.
 
FR>Didn't work for me.  Very weak stuff overall.  A real disappointment.  
ave
FR>you read it?
 
No, I haven't and I heard somewhere else that it gotpoor reviews.
The publishers must have been pushing too hard! :)
