<v.t. - as in variety of topic <g>>G'day everyone, hope y'all huva great beginning of the 1999. Zeev, thanks goodness you've made the disclaimer on townonline.com. by stating, "But, please, disregard most of the text." For the only thing conjured up in my mind when it mentioned Edison was the Electric Chair! I know, it is awfully unfair to the genius, but passing high voltage AC through living tissues in order to debunk Westinghouse tends to be more clinging to this teflon brain of mine <vbg>. Regardless, good to see you and your fellow inventors get some visibilities. On a separate note, Soros on IMF: boston.com Is S Korea doing ok? boston.com For a change, the island Chinese is the villain this time around: cnn.com Finally, thank y'all fellow Asian Forumers, it has been a stimulating year here, and please keep it up best, Bosco

Zeev; OT <<Clark, are all writers "difficult"? (VBG). We were interviewed a fortnight back and the resulting article is so far from what was said it is difficult to fathom.>> The answer is yes, difficult and badly organized. Last month I was quoted in an industry rag. Much to my surprise I found that I am an analyst (geesh) and further, that I am based in Singapore (a big surprise to my landlord here in Kuala Lumpur, not to mention my wife who said "is that why you are always gone?"). To compound it all the reporter took what I said out of context. I mean completely out. He put words in my mouth I never uttered. I guess our forefathers, when insuring freedom of the press, didn't exclude the freedom to be stupid. I think the cinematic cliche of hard drinking reporters must be accurate. <G> <<If you want to see my mug shot, it appears at:>> I like the cartoony one on your web site better. <GG> Best, Stitch

Once Zeev I was interviewed by a journalist in Bombay. The result was disappointing. I was very happy that he spelled my name correctly, however. Later, that same month, I was interviewed by a reporter in a place called Kotah (an erstwhile Princely State on the fringes of Rajasthan, for those of you geographically inclined). The journalist, a blinking small man with a furtive manner and a dull pencil who wrote up hiks words in a spotted notebook, reported that I had come to town to steal the trophies of the Maharajas tigers off his walls (they were all moldy and the local taxidermist had taken a cdrtain license it should be noted...they were all, these Maharajas tigers, all 370 of them.. in miles and miles of otherwise empty palace coridors... yes...can yo believe this....they were crosseyed!). I was elated, though, that the journalist not only got the purpose of my visit to Kotah wrong, but he also spelled my name incorrectly. I had what Richard Nixon used to think of as an important asset of statecraft...deniability. I noticed a certain frost in the Maharajas attitudes to me after that...the thought unnerved him perhaps that I was about to run off with his trophies. I had in fact come to town to "capture" his trophies on film in a movie. Ah. You see the connection the senile, chuckleheaded journalist almost made? The moral: Always be happy that you make it into print because ther are no other joys whatsover in dealing with journalists. Remember even ee cummings was misquoted. Zeev. You wear glasses?? My god and you look a gay dog at that. Stitch..be happy the journalist said you lived somewhere... even Singapore. He might have had you camping in the public park and running your business via modem from a bench inteh botalical garden. These journalists. Devilish clever, what? Best to you, Clark
