Marc: Flanagan's show is the perfect accompaniment to a springtime nap under the swaying fronds of an old black willow tree. However, I did awaken from my hammock-rocked slumbers yesterday long enough to hear Flanagan's discourse on the "year 2000 problem"; he is not nearly as unconcerned as Brinker lets on with respect to this glitch. Indeed, Flanagan rang the alarum bells quite loudly and flatly stated that Y2K could prove to be a veritable nightmare, especially, for the banking system. This in response to a caller who is holding off investment of his $400,000 nest egg for fear of getting stung mightily by the Y2K bug. Is Brinker's apparent indif- ference to this problem justified? With lavish apologies to Edgar Allan Poe, "Will the bug beat the bull, all hallow?"
