Ok, ok.... So it took more than 2 days since ATI39. Sorry! I got caught up in
final papers and exams for summer courses, and other projects..

But anyway, on with ATI40. First up is Prime Anarchist, with his new feature
called P.A.W.N., Prime Anarchist World News. Here we go!

P*A*W*N*P*A*W*N*P*A*W*N*P*A*W*N*P*A*W*N*P*A*W*N*P*A*W*N*P*A*W*N*P*A*W*N*

Greetings Fellow Humanoids:

     Did you know that one of the newest Cyberpunks was one of the oldest Pop
artists?  Yeah, Willian Burroughs longtime friend of peoploids like Andy
Warhol, Jack Kerouak and Allen Ginsberg is featured all the time in RE:SEARCH
magazine.
     So look out Tim Leary -- you're not the oldest hipster anymore.
     If you use a cellular phone where I'm at *98 and *97 are toll phree
numbahs.  Is this a global, national or regional phenomenon?  If anyone's done
any work with this numerical number assignment pattern, I'd appreciate hearing
about it through either ATI or some other open meduim.  What I'd like to know
most is what stops payfones and home fones from responding to these star
codes.  A tone? A code? A cable pair?
     Everyone is by now aware of my feelings up to today about the People
magaze article about Abbie Hoffman's death.  Heck, I published that opinion
EVERYWHERE.  I thougt it was by far, the BEST handled Abbie article this side
of the century, this side of the world.
     That's until I picked up the July issue of High Times magazine.  Steven
Bloom made an awesome compilation of discussions with a bunch of people who
knew Abbie, and it was filled with good schtuff. David Peel, Paul Katner,
Aaron Kay and Willian Kunstler made for the most interesting of the speels. 
Also reprinted was an interview John Holstrom did with Abbie around February
last year.

     I'll bring forth some of the parts that really tugged at my heart.
     "Born on the Fourth of July" will star Tom Cruise as a Vietman vet who
comes back to America and becomes a peacenik.  John Tower is a lip service fag
of the Ayatollah's "Satan America".
     The current 60's revival will only last 2 years.  Now, because of
Woodstock, next year because of Kent State, and NOT the following years
because, "No one wants to remember 1971, I guarantee you. It was a mess".
     The Rutgers attempt (at a national student left conference last year) was
too broad.  Too wide open.  Every faction of the world was at each others'
throat.  A great opportunity was lost.  Better comprehension of electronic
bulltin boards and computerizing is needed.
     Abbie Hoffman was a great mind.  Many of us often picked for thoughts when
we knew something was up but just couldn't prove it. Abbie could always get
you proof.
     Abbie was a manic depressive -- for that we can be thankful.  For it was
from his mood upswings that we got entire novels or painfully truthful poems,
lectures, movie roles, comedy acts or great events.
     Abbie was the only man alive in the early 80's capable of exposing the
CIA's efforts in Iran, Nicaragua, Angola, and Guatemala.  I'm not suggesting
that Abbie's death was a fascist plot.
     I'm insisting it.
     I also noticed in this issue of High Times that marijuana is going for
$120 an ounce these days.  I can't believe my eyes! That's an outrage.  I know
we'll never go back to the days of 30-40 bucks for a 4-ounce, but c'mon.  Stop
paying the big piper.  Grow your own.
     Well, that's all for this afternoon. More later promise.  P.A.W.N.

Now, we have an article from The Unbeliever (201) (formerly The Mad Pirate):

              !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
             ******Light Speed... And why it's not possible.********           !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                               By: The Unbeliever
                               !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Ok. I know what you're thinking. You have this big question. "Why isn't
faster than light travel (For the sake of space, I'll call FTL, which stands
for [F]aster [T]han [L]ight.) possible? What is so magic about the speed of
light? If  you keep accelerating an object, won't you eventually reach the
'speed of light'? Un huh. No way. That's what I'm going to explain right here.

  Most people believe that  if force is applied to an object, it accelerates in
the direction opposite of which the force is applied. As long as the force is
applied, the object will continue to move faster and faster. Under ordinary
conditions, there is no sign that this will change; no mysterious speed limit
at which this object will stop accelerating, no matter what the force.

  Physicists are quite sure that as a force is applied to an object, the
momentum of the object will increase indefinitely, and come ever closer to
infinite. The same can be said of an object's kinetic energy.

  Since the common sense notion is that the mass of a body (easily defined as
"the quantity of matter it contains") does not change with motion, it follows
that momentum and kinetic energy must increase only because velocity increases.
And if momentum and kinetic energy increase indefinitely as a force continues
to be applied, that can only mean that velocity must increse indefinitely.
There seems no way out of that syllogism, so what is all this junk about the
speed-of-light limit.

  This "junk" started with Albert Einstein in 1905. It seemed to Einstein that
the speed of light in a vacuum must always be measured at the same speed (just
under 300,000 kilometers per second) no matter what the motion of the light
source might be relative to the observer who was making the measurement.

  This consistancy of the speed of light did not seem to make sense. Ordinary
objects, like a thrown rock, had speed that depended in part on the motion of
the person or object throwing the ball, and it definitely seemed this rule
should apply to everything, including light. Why should light have a special
status?

  Einstein developed his 'Special theory of Relativity' to describe a universe
in which light behaved in this unusual fasion. For light o behave as it does,
Einstein showed that mass ought to increase in quantity for a moving object. It
should increase, as a matter of fact, according to a set relationship:

      M = m/(sqr(1-v^2/c^2))
        (The above is written in commodore style formulas, because the C64
doesn't  support exponents and square root formulas.)

Where v is the speed of the object, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, m is
the mass of the object when it's not moving and M is the mass of the boject
when it IS moving at velocity v.

  Until the begining of the 20th century, nothing had ever attained the speed
of even 0.1 kilometers per second, or 1/3,000,000 the speed of light. Even if
you add interplanetary rockets to the list, 15 kilometers pre second, or
1/20,000 the speed of light is all we have obtained.

  If we use Einstein's formula and imagine a 1 kilogram object moving at 15
kilometers per second, it's mass at that speed would be 1.0000000013 kilograms.
It would have gained 1 1/3 micrograms, or a little over a billionth of it's
rest mass.

 Imagine an object moving at the enormous speed of 30,000 kilometers per
second. Such a speed is 1/10 that of light and by Einsteins equation, I 1
kilogram object moving at that speed would have a mass of 1.005 kilograms. It
would have increased in mass by only approximately 0.5 percent.

  A 1 kilogram object with the velocity of 60,000 kilometers per second would
have a mass of 1.021 kilograms. At 90,000 kilometers per second, it's mass
would be 1.048 kilograms; at 120,000 kps it would be 1.091 kilograms; at
150,000 kps it would be 1.155 kilograms.

  150,000 kilometers per second is half the speed of light. Even then, the gain
in mass is only 15.5 persent. This doesn't seem very serious, but please note
that the mass has been increasing at a faster and faster rate as the speed
increases.

  By the time we reach a speed of 290,000 kps (97 percent the speed of light),
the mass of the moving body is 3.892, almost four times the original mass. At
295,000 kps (98.3% speed of light) the mass equals 5.52 kilograms; at 299,000
kps (99.7% speed of light), 12.22 kilograms, at 299,999 kps (99.9997% speed of
light) 383.5 kilograms.
  At the speed of light itself, if that could be reached, the mass would be
infinite- as would be momentum and kinetic energy.

  A faster spped is impossible because neither mass, momentum or kinetic energy
can be more than infinite. Besides, at infinite mass, no force, however great,
can produce any acceleration, however small, so the speed cannot increase. So
the speed of light is the limit which cannot be passed.

 And yet all this depends upon the validity of Einsteins equation, which in turn
depends upon a correct deduction from Einstein's basic assumption. What if the
equation is wrong, has been incorrectly deduced, or is based on faulty
reasoning?

  Perhaps we would still be wondering about that, were it not that a decade
before Einstein advanced his theory, subatomic particles had been discovered.
These tiny objects move at large fractions of the speed of light. Their mass
could be  measures with considerable precision, and it was found not only does
their mass increase with speed,but PRECISELY to the amount predicted by
Einstein's equation.

   Whew! That was a long file! Well, that's all for now... Until next issue!

      (Most of the information for this I obtained from an essay about the
speed of light written by Issac Asimov.)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now, a few words on the flag and democracy by MAC??? (213)

The USA member of The NATO Association
gives his thoughts on burning the flag.

by MAC???

     The American flag, it can show you at a glance whether you are
standing in a part of the world where saying you don't agree with
something won't get you taken away in the middle of the night.
     A configuration of symbols that represent the freedom to say you
don't agree with the government or the church.
     I am very glad I am an American and even though I would never
burn our flag I realize that making a law that states that you can't
burn it takes us a little closer to that middle of the night.
     It is true that much blood has been shed to make sure it can
be safely put outside your house to wave in the breeze, but it does
not just represent this, it represents your right to do with it as
you wish.
     So when you see the flag know that you have a responsbility
as well a a great burden upon you.  The responsbility, making sure
the flag is where it should be (whereever you think that place is).
The burden, showing the world that the blood we shed to keep chaos
back was worth it!

Notes from Ground Zero.....

Crack/AIDS connection: New York city public health officials have spoken about
the new link between crack use and transmission of AIDS.  It happens because
crack users often resort to prostitution to get money for the drug. This has
led to huge upswing in venereal disease cases.  When intercourse takes place
with open sores cause by venereal diseases, this allows for the blood-to-blood
or semen-to-blood contact necessary for transmission of the AIDS virus.

Huey Newton, co-founder of the Black Panthers with Bobby Seale back in the
60's was shot to death in Oakland, Ca. this week. He was 47.  Uncertain as to
who killed him and why.

Racism in the Garden State: The NJ Turnpike is seen as a key link in the
transportation of drugs to New York and other points north.  So NJ State
troopers have taken to searching cars for drugs after stopping them for
traffic violations.  The problem is that the majority of those stopped are
Blacks and Hispanics, stopped for very minor traffic infringments, (like an
improper lane change) and treated in an extremely rude and abusive manner in
many cases.  This statistic speaks for itself: Blacks/minotities make up for 
only 30% of drug arrests nationwide, but the percentage of Black/minority drug
arrests from car searches in the NJ Turnpike in the southernmost section near
Philadelphia is 86%.  In the section of the tunpike near New York, 89% of drug
arrests from car searches are Black/minority.  A clear case of race selection.

Movie:  "Rude Awakening" was an interesting movie, full of very funny moments.
It's about 2 hippies who go to live in exile in the Central American jungle in 
1969.  But today, in 1989 they come across a killed CIA agent with papers that 
detail US plans to invade Central America.  They decide to go back to New York 
to expose the papers to the media.  They look up their old friends, who 
abandoned their radical 60's ways and became successful.  I thought the movie 
was great, but the get-active-and-save-the-planet message in the end of the 
movie should have been more spread out.  The movie should have integrated the
hippies' awareness of the extreme new problems of the late 80's throughout the 
movie.  I think the extreme swing to the right in the Reagan-Bush era should 
have been addressed also.  But the movie did admirably demonstrate the apathy 
of today's college students. 

All in all, I recommend the movie. It's very entertaining!

First up, it's Prime Anarchist with the Prime Anarchist World News (PAWN):

p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n

    Hola, Prime here again; bringing you PAWN.  I'm more than happy that ATI
will be the exclusive carrier of this fine piece.  Which means y'all can rest
assured; I'm not selling out and going syndicated.  OK, here's the breakdown
of information as I see it this week. If we're not gonna negotiate with
terrorists, how come we're chatting so favorably with Iran???  Are we
portraying them suddenly not as terrorists? How stupid does the Bush
Aggravation, er, uh, I mean administration think wepeople are?  And to
suddenly take a "no neg" policy after 2 weeks of heavy negotiations with
Lebanon is pure bunk.  Not only are we the people being seen as stupid, but
George's advisores are no doubt playing HIM the fool.
   When driving, close one eye when cars pass at night (especially on high
beams) to protect your night vision.  This works a lot better than the
standard method of trying to stare at the side of the road.  Helps you see
much better in the dark.  
   Once in a while, don't use any detergent with your laundry.  Just stick
it in there and start the spin cycles going.  There's enough soap left over
from the last person, and your clothes'll look better longer.
   Remember,if you can't be radical for a just cause,then be rad just because.
   With the 20th anniversary of Woodstock happening, self-proclaimed experts
are having fashion shows on Good Morning Amerika and speaking out on talk
shows as well as the evening news.  Warning:  most of these so-called experts,
50-55 year olds, weren't ever involved in the 60's.  They now feel bad,
and are reliving their childhood by being some sort of yuppy yipster.
A strange and very scarey phenomena.  I was about 4 years old back in the
Woodstock weeks and I'm thinking I remember it better than these thugs. 
It's sad.  I think we might've totally lost or defaced-by-rewrite a whole
historical genre. Misinformation sucks.
   How come you can see invisible tape?
   When someone says "you got a minute?",pack a lunch and maybe a sleepingbag.
   Jackie Martling added seven new numbers to his 516-922-wine system.
922-9571, 9572, 9573, 9574, 9458, 9455, 9449. For a good time, pick a number.
Any number.
    A fone rings at 570hz, can be seized at 2250, and can be released at 2600.
 But good luck doing it from home.  Most reigions are now set up so the
whole loop won't respond no matter how loudly you blast your single-tones.
You've basically gotta run a tie-line out of your local switch. Good luck
there.
    "Hmmm.  What's that wire going from Marion's TSPS over to Mr. Ed's house?"
    "Dunno, must be authorized."
    Expanding your tone chip?  1633hz is a nice one to add.  Played next to
a1 you have "FO" and with 2 you've got "F", and as 7 you get "I" and at the
0 slot you have "R", "C" and "P".    More on that later. 
    VCR's are selling in Britain with built-in software to receive and
transmit teletext.  The company to bug for info is Grundig.  I found them
quite helpful.  For a world power, we sure are behind on a lot of things.
Heck, we can't even decide if we want to combine TV's and VCR's, or try
outDAT, or improve our pathetically archaic public transportation system.
    Dark Ages? 
    I just sat patiently thru a 6,000 word Associated Press article where
the entire content seemed to be nothing more than the Credit Card bougioux,
er, uh, I mean buisness world blaming 91 million a year credit card fraud
for their refusal to bring their rates down. I'm sick and tired of these
megabucks bastards claiming that fraud is keeping their interest rates high.
If a bank certificate can only get you 9% on your dollars, Citicorpse et al
damned well can drop down to at the least,10 percent!!!!  With or without a
percentage of fraud, as marginal as it is,a 20% credit card is highway
robbery.
    "We want you to succeed, not just survive."  More like "because we want
you to owe, not grow."
    65 million dollars to Bogota, Columbia.  Whew!  That's a lot of money
for dope.  Expect pot and coke to saor as this "war on drugz" heightens.
And, keep in mind.  It's nothing nore than a witch-hunt.  Keep a good rep,
and it'll be smooth sailing 4 U.
    Madame Helmsley got off easy.  Figures.  Rich people can kill and get
off.  (They may get off by killing, but they still go to jail--ed.)  They
got her on some of the medium and small counts.  She COULD get 5 years jail.
But keep in mind.  With all the stuff she did (see "empire" in the mafia
dictionary; punk and wagoners) she oughta hang, or at least get life. (Perhaps
Mr. Anarchist should look up "empire" in a real dictionary--ed.)
    Jim Bakker?  Must be nice to spend $30,000 a day on attornies.  How's
this for one?  They apparently found the mega-fraud/conspiracy type guy
under a desk in his friend's office hiding from all the people out to get
him.  He was hallucinating.  (Televangelists don't hallucinate; they
seeeeeeee!)  You watch.  He'll spend about five months in a funny farm, and
then get pronounced "better" (Not quite, eh?--ed.).  Must be nice to get off
scot free.  Meanwhile, a casual pinjoint smoker can expect life.
   Tired of taking peoples' bull?  Give them a little of their own.  100%
steer manure in a clear bag tied up neatly with a leather strap, and the
message of your choice for $9.95 (now THERE's maturity--ed.).  Call
1-800-543-5300 to use a MC or Visa, or send check or money order to For-Tuna
Enterprises, PO Box 30506-c, Long Beach, CA, 90853.  I called the number
and someone answered, but I didn't take it any further.  Post results.  OK? 
    Hey The Unbeliever:  If I WERE able to travel the speed of light,
halogens would be useless.  What would you suggest I use?
    Hey Mac (213):  I called you on the Red Phone, but the line was busy all
night, so I'll address your topic here.  Flags:  Hmm.  What's our flag
represent?  Much like a gang, our nation has Colors.  Colors represents the
men and women who died for our freedom.  We should have great reverence for
Colors.  (At least he has one redeeming value--ed.)  Colors stand for those
that died in the two world wars to uphold freedom or simply follow orders.
Colors also stand for those who died in wrong wars like Nam, or Honduras.
Color should be respected with your life, I respect it with mine every day
I take a breath of free (last time I checked) fresh (well) air.    But.... 
He who pushes to pass a full-fledged Constitutional amendment should be
SHOT!!  Pure bunk, I say.  What we need least is legislation.  What we need
more, is to bring up our children morally, to respect Colors.  That's all it
takes.  It worked for some 200-odd years(except of course for you people,who
started all this flag-burning crap--ed.)  Why can't it work under a Bush
administration?  (Ask yourself that the next time you light up a
"pinjoint"--ed.)
    And finally, lets look at this admin a bit.  Using abortion as the issue
to test; we have "pass legislation.  restrain.  restrain."  The last thing
our countryfolk need is mroe laws restraining us.  Bush, you're blowing it.
What we do NOT need is a law restraining abortions.  Only the poor will
obey it anyways.  What we DO need is education, morals, openness.  Teach
our children well, and they will require less restraints.  (On the other
hand,look what all our education did for animals like you--ed.)
    (PAWN)--CRIPPLE CREEK.  The Eulogizer From Hell; Doc Gonzo Remembers AH.
On the road this past year, Hunter S. Thompson has been often asked to
eulogize media star, Abbie Hoffman.  One of Hunter's abiding memories of
Abbie is that he paid his bets.  "I watched a basketball game with him in
Seattle a while back.  He considered himself a great handicapper, but I beat
him on a bet and he paid," recalls Hunter.  "That's not bad."
    That's better than you can say for Peter Rose.  This morning, standing
right on Pete Rose Way, in Downtown Cincinatti, Mr. Rose tried to reason
his latest statement that got him a "slight" punishment by the baseball
commission.
    "I wanted it to read, 'I don't confirm or deny having bet on baseball',
they wanted it to read 'this finding neither confirms nor denies Rose's
betting on baseball'.  We compromised, and it now reads, 'This finding
neither confirms nor denies Rose's betting on baseball'.  Way to go, Pete.
By the way, Pete, if you're reading this, Hunter Thompson wants his thirty
bucks.
     In 1970 a county commissioner was elected by ONE VOTE.  The loser
demanded a recount, naturally, but the original tally proved correct. 
So, in Hinsdale county where voting residents still number only about 200--
everyone takes his politics mighty mighty seriously.
    This sign found in a local library:  "Do not place small children and
large objects on counter".  A woman put her daughter upon the counter
and the checkout asked her to place the infant on a chair or the floor. 
An argument started over the fact that "since I only have a small child and
not a large object AS WELL, I should be allowed to place her here."  They
then changed the "and" to an "or" and the sign now reads "Please do not place
small children OR large objects..."
    Can you believe 1989 is almost over???  Sept. already.  October's almost
here.  Soccer season.  time to go running the miles again.  Good luck sports
fans.  It's gonna be a good sports year.  You can bet on it.
     Happy 43rd birthday, Connie Chung, you ornery old bat.  if you ever,
ever, push ME out of the way at a press conference to scoop me on a single
interview question; while the other guys are up on their elbows with their
mouths wide open thinking "I don't believe she did that to me" while 23,000
Americans are tuning in, while you're flitting your hair back in place to
prepare your calm relaxed lady-like interview, I'm gonna get back up off
the ground and punch you right in the mouth.  Right on national TV!!!!
     Why do they call it defacing property when you're writing something ON
it? If you chisel words OFF of a gravestone, say, I can see that as defacing;
but writing ON something?  They'd better pick a new word 'cause they're wrong.
Just thought I'd bring that up.
     Bocce has got to be about the most difficult sport to learn just by
watching.  I have no idea what the object is.  I could probably spy all day
too, to no avail.
     Arcades are starting to offer a form of credit or debit card.  You
insert the card in some thingie and you put money into some slot.  The thing
then gives your card the appropriate amount of credits.  Neat.  A lot can be
done with that.  You could set it so random cards get free credits (like a
red receipt special at the grocery store) Hmm.  All kinds of ideas come to
mind. Instead of a "match", the machine'd ask you to insert your card again
Or continue playing.  You'd get a credit for ANY machine if you want it.
Nice technology.
     With all the Colombian drug busts coming our way, I wonder how we're
keeping Manuel Noriega quiet.  Something's definitely awry in Denmark.
Last time anything like this schtuff came up, Noriega threatened to blab all
about how Bush was way up in the Medellin theatre.
     If you even have blue nachos laced with smashed-to-a-liquid jalepeneos,
and hot tea, along with french onion soup, order lots of ice water.
In fact,if you plan ahead, you can have a garden hose installed next to your
table. Eat the soup first, belive me.  If you try it after the jalapenachos,
you're in for a narly surprise.  The tea can be drunk any time in the meal.
As cold as it gets, you could even drink it later tonite, and you'll still
think it's your basic hot orange and black pekoe.  It's worth the struggle,
though.  Blue nachos are delicious.  When you finally finish, you'll feel
fulfilled, even if it IS like eating mako shark (while he's still alive).
     If you must smoke, smoke Pall Malls (no filter to pollute with).  Or you
COULD roll your own.
     Cellular One is the competitor of the US West.  They've got a van
loaded up with 3 carfones that you can use for "free local calls".  I thought
that was a catchy ad. They go wherever there might be a lot of people.  I
wonder if all the companies use this approach yet, or is this one guy's
project so far.  I wonder how well it actually is doing, though?
     I don't much like 12 strings, how 'bout you?  They sound sweet and
all, but I never enjoyed playing them.  Too limited.  I'll take a beat up
old folk guitar any day.
     Did I hear the radio right?  Were they talking about Palestinians or
Palace Indians????  They better speak up!!!
     90% of people who seek drug rehab in America are turned away because
of space/resource/personell problems.    Hmm.  NORML claims that paper made
from hemp is 80% safer for the environment than that made from tree pulp.
     Waddya make of all these percentages?  Hmmm.  90 drugz, 80 hemp.  I'd
say if 85% of druggies would just light up a joint instead of trying to go
to drug rehab, there'd be a whole lot more paper left for the rest of us.
     Anarchy in gas stations- wondering what to do with that old keychain
in your junk drawer?  Put each key in one of those dealership "earlybird"
envelopes with a made-up name and address on the front.  Then slip each one
in the slot.  They'll spend hours looking for "your" car in the their lot.
Then they'll spend days trying to find "you" before they realize it's a
joke.
     "Will work for food" says a sign held by a guy with a heavy beard growth
on a local street corner here.  I'd say things aren't getting much better
these days.  The warnings GOP gave us if Democrats got in office are happening
anyways.  (Maybe because they control both houses of Congress?--ed) Hmm.
And maybe worse so than if they HAD gotten in.  Remember "a vote for Duke is
a vote for taxes"?  Hmmm.  What's the first thing King George the 43rd did to
us?  Hmm.  The gallon of gas as gone all the way back down to 60 cents where
it belongs, huh?  Hmmm.  And look how better we are at handling hostage
situations and terrorism the world round than a Carter type person would've
been?
     I think it's time for cutting thru the bullshit.  No politician is a
good politician.  Nobody can make order of this mess we call a democracy.
Nobody comes through on all of his campaign promises.  Nobody doesn't just
shake your hand and kiss your baby.  Nobody can run a nation effectively.
     I say Nobody for president!  Thank you for reading once again, PAWN.

And now, from the "This Could Happen to YOU!!" department, here's a look at
how someone was tracked down and busted for phreaking.  To protect the
identity of the person in question, the name of the person, address, city,
state and the long distance company involved have been blocked out.
The long distance co. investigator involved in the case will be referred to 
as "Smith".

THE STATE OF XXXXXXXXXXX                               AFFIDAVIT FOR

COUNTY OF XXXXXXXXXX                                   SEARCH WARRANT

Your affaint,  XXXXXXXXXXXX, a peace officer employed by the XXXXXXXXXX
County District Attorney's Office,  after being duly sworn, on oath
makers the following statements and accusations:


                                 I.


There is in -CITY-, XXXXXXXX County, -STATE-, a place and premises
described as a single family residence located at -ADDRESS-


                                II.


There is at the said place and premises, impliments or instruments
used in the commission of a crime described as switch accessing
devices such as personal computers and connecting equipment, like
automatic dialers, programs, recording devices, discs, modems,
printers,  telephones,  hardware and software that were used or
adapted to access computers owned by -COMPANY- and property or items
constituting evidence of an offense or constituting evidence
to show that a particular person committed an offense such
as the above cited items and notes, records, printouts, and ledgers.


                                 III.


The said premises and place is controlled by -DEFENDANT-.


                                 IV.


It is the belief of your affaint, and he hereby charges, accuse and
says that he has reason to believe and does believe that -DEFENDANT-
or someone living at the place and premises noted above, in
-CITY-, XXXXXXXXX County, -STATE-, on or about between --DATE--1989,
gained access to data stored and maintained by a computer owned by
-COMPANY-, without the effective consent of -COMPANY-, the owner of the data,
and the caller knew there existed a computer security system
intended to prevent gaining access to the data in violation of the
"Breach Of Computer Security" statute of the -STATE- Penal Code and
stole -COMPANY- credit cards in the process in violation of the "Credit
Card Abuse" statute of the -STATE- Penal Code.  In addition it is
your affaint's belief that the person who gained access to the
data, violated the "Unlawful Use Of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" statute
of the -STATE- Penal Code. He committed this crime by adapting
programs and computers with the intent to make phone calls so as
to illegally obtain the data in question and that those phone calls
were in fact made on or about between --DATE--, 1989 and --DATE--, 1989
and the person knew the character of the instrument he set up.
In addition, he has reason to believe and does believe that person
or persons in the place and premises in question made numerous long
distance phone calls between --DATE--, 1989 and --DATE--, 1989 using
-COMPANY- credit cards that were stolen in the process described above
in violation of the "Credit Card Abuse" statute of the -STATE- Penal
Code. He further believes that the above cited items, property,
impliments and instruments are located at the place and premises
cited above.


                                 V.


Your affaint's belief is based on two things--his personal
experience that he has garnered through executing numerous search
warrants in cases like this and conversation he has had with Smith
who is employed as Director Of Security for -COMPANY- and a person
with no known criminal record.

Your affaint, for approximately 16 months, has been in periodic contact
contact with different members of the security divisions of various
long distance communications common carriers (phone companies).
I have worked primarily with Smith of -COMPANY-.

Smith and other security personnel have filed numerous complaints
alleging that persons are accessing their companys' computer
systems and obtaining data from them. The persons or "hackers" or
"phreakers" as they are known in the industry, have learned how to
break into and use the computers employed by the various companies
to make long distance phone calls without having to pay for the
service.

On dozens of occasions, I have executed search warrants on
residences and businesses identified through "trap and trace"
information supplied by various phone companies pursuant to the
filed complaints and in almost 100% of the searches recovered
computers and equipment such as automatic dialers, programs,
recording devices, discs, modems, printers, telephones, hardware
and software as well as notes, records, printouts, and ledgers which
indicate that a person was in fact making calls to the phone
company systems, and obtaining data (codes which authorize long
distance calls) like the complaints had alledged. This property,
items and other material, is invariably found at the place and
premises that are identified in the "trap and trace". I have found
that the property, items and other materials are kept for months
and sometimes years so that they can be used again and referred
back to.

On -DATE-, 1989, Smith told me that he was investigating an
individual that was making calls into -COMPANY-'s system from -CITY-,
XXXXXXXX County, -STATE-, obtaining long distance telephone
authorization numbers (credit cards), and making long distance
phone calls utilizing those numbers without -COMPANY-'s consent or the
consent of -COMPANY-'s customers who have been assigned the numbers. He
said that in -DATE-, 1989 -COMPANY- received a phone call from a 
customer who said that another person was utilizing his code to 
make long distance phone calls without his permission.

Smith said that he called the phone number that had been called 
by the person illegally using the -COMPANY- authorization code and he
was told by the party answering the phone that an individual named
-DEFENDANT- had made the call in question.  In -DATE- and -DATE-,
1989, he followed up leads that indicated to him that this person
named -DEFENDANT- had made several long distance phone calls from
-CITY-, XXXXXXXX County, -STATE- using -COMPANY- authorization codes
assigned to customers without their consent. Smith learned
this information by talking to the -COMPANY- customers and persons whose
phones had been called by the person utilizing the codes
without their owner's consent.

Through investigative work, Smith learned the pager number of an
individual named -DEFENDANT- who lived in -CITY-. Smith said he
called that pager number and left as the phone number to be called
his own direct work number in -CITY-, -STATE-. On -DATE-,
1989, and individual identifying himself as -DEFENDANT- called Smith
on his direct line and said he was returning the call to his pager.

Smith stated that the -COMPANY- phone system had the capacity to record
information about incoming calls and when he looked at this
information, he learned that the person who called on that date,
was calling from -CITY-, XXXXXXXX County, -STATE- and was utilizing
an -COMPANY- authorization code that had been assigned to a -COMPANY- customer
who had not given the caled permission to use the code. Smith
looked at other -COMPANY- records that showed that the code number in
question had been "hacked" on -DATE-, 1989.

Smith said that on -DATE-, 1989, he asked -BELL EMP.- an
employee of Bell Telephone Company to set up a trap
and trace on its -CITY- Lines so that the caller from -CITY-
could be identified. -BELL EMP.- reported back that numerous
phone calls were being made to the -COMPANY- system from a residence in
-CITY-, XXXXXXXX County, -STATE- at -ADDRESS-.  -BELL EMP.-
said that phone service was set up at that residence for -DEFENDANT-.
-BELL EMP.- said he continued the trap and trace until
-DATE-, 1989. He said that during that period of time, frequent
calls were made into the -COMPANY- system. The calls were usually made
between 11:00 pm and 5:00 am.

Smith said that during the time that Bell Telephone continued
its trap and trace, -COMPANY- monitored its system to see what the caller
was doing. Smith said that -COMPANY's- records indicate that most of
the calls made into -COMPANY- during this period of time were of a
searching nature. That is, the caller made frequent calls, one
after another, using a different authorization number in each
instance but using the same end destination phone number each time.
The phone calls were made one or two per minute.

I know, though my experience that these searching calls are made
for the sole purpose of discovering valid authorization numbers so
that the numbers can be used to make long distance phone calls for
free. I know that once these valid codes are obtained, they are
kept by the caller in notes, ledgers, papers or other medium.
Smith told me that -COMPANY- verified that the caller was able to
discover 12 valid codes in this manner and that many long distance
phone calls were made from the -DEFENDANT-'s residence utilizing these
stolen codes.

I visited the residence of -DEFENDANT- and affirmed that the
description of the place and premises given above is true and
correct.

WHEREFORE, your affaint asks for the issuance of a warrant that
will authorize him to search said place and premises for said
implements, instruments, property and items and to seize the same.


                                   XXXXXXX XXXXX, Affaint


SUBSCRIBED and SWORN to before me, by the said affaint on this the
1 day of -DATE-, 1989.

                                        The above was a statement given by a law enforcement officer to obtain a search
warrant. A warrant was issued, eqipment was confiscated, and the person in
question was charged with several counts of credit card abuse.

  The above program is usable only from within BASIC.  But first you
  need to create it using the text editor called VUE.  You would type in  
  "VUE SETLOG.M68", and type in the program above.  Press your ESC key
  and type "G" to compile the program.  After a short period of time, and
  assuming there are no errors, you'll have a program called SETLOG.SBR,
  which is what you want.  Next step is to enter BASIC by typing that in
  at the prompt.  Next, you should type in this phrase exactly:

 XCALL SETLOG, "DSK0:[1,4]"

  Now exit it out of BASIC by typing "bye", and if all has gone well, you
  should now be logged into DSK0:[1,4], also known as SYS:.  The account
  can be anything you want, as long as you know what available accounts
  are on the system you are calling into.  This is easily found out by
  typing in MOUNT, which will give you a list of all mounted disks on the
  system.  Follow this up with a PPN ?diskname? and you'll know where to
  start.  The above subroutine is only really needed if an account is
  password protected, which is rare.

===========================================================================

  Next up, a brief summary of special logon processes for a company called
  CBI, or Credit Bureau Inc.  They have credit reports on a good portion
  of the population.

  Step 1> Dial via modem a local CBI number.
  Step 2> Press the "RETURN" key twice.
  Step 3> At the "Please sign on" prompt, respond with a line soemthing
          like this:          999AA-11,ALICE,P.  <------Name or intials
            Membership # -----^     ^---Security code
          Make sure you end the sig-on line with a period (.).
  Step 4> Press "RETURN" after signin.
  Step 5> Wait until the terminal prints "Proceed".
  Step 6> At this point, enter inquiries into the system.  At the minimum,
          you should at least know the name and eith a partial address or
          social security number for the person you are looking up.
          In addition, CBI requires that each line you enter in ends with
          a period.
  Step 7> After finishing, press control-D to exit out.
  Step 8> If any errors occur while doing a lookup, press asterisk (*) 
          key for each correction; this takes the place of the DEL key.

Last, but not least, a qucik tutorial about a Blue Cross Unix system...

[a]  Get connected and wait 10 secs, at which time the familiar "login:"
prompt will appear.  Enter in the ID and password.  Remember to be in
lower case, and that the password will not echo to your screen.

[b]  If everything is cool, you should see:  "UNIX 3B2".  After that, any
messages from Blue Cross will appear.  Based upon your log ID, a line pops
up saying..."YOU HAVE 15 SECONDS TO READ THIS MESSAGE." Normal billing
replies and remittances are sent to the screen.

[c]  About 2-3 minutes later, after all the messages have stopped being
displayed, another message shows up:  "YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED TWO FILES".
Then the '$' prompt appears, and you are now at the OS level.  I haven't 
played around with this too much (been too busy).

[d]  If you want to erase any of the claims that were sent to you, type
in "rcln" to delete the files.  The blue cross system will pause for a 
few seconds, and the $ will come back.

[e]  When you want to submit claims (why?), type in "tmgr 14000", and send
whatever you want to be sent to blue cross.  The message "THE 3B2 IS NOW
READY FOR YOUR TRANSMISSION" is the key to look for.

[f]  To exit off the system, just type in "logoff", and the blue cross CPU
will say "GOODBYE!!!" and disconnect you.  Note: The claims submission
process will automatically disconnect you, so make that your last option!

Here's something from my BBS, The Red Phone (201-748-4005).  A user on my BBS
just moved up here to NJ from Texas, and here are some of his thoughts after 
someone on my bbs made a reference to "fucking texans":

From: ANDROID POPE (#47)
Date: 09/05/89 - 9:57 pm
Subj: (R)twisted messages

**I'M** one of the "FUCKING TEXAN'S", and let me tell you..
Here is just one example...
I went into a Safeway (a local grocery store chain) and asked for a
"check cashing card".   They gave it to me and asked if I wanted top
cash a check.   HELL YES!  Sure, I didn't have any money in my account,
but what the hell, right?  I'll pay it later (and I have..).  Three times
I went back to safeway and cashed **BAD** checks.  And Ive paid every
one of them since..  NOW.....yes...  *NOW* I'm up east.

To get a check card at my local A&P, I have to fill out this form and I
get my little card in the mail (Postmaster, do not forward).  I went to
a bank with a $900 check in my hot little hands to open an account 
(they had an ATM, my bank didn't), what happend?  They wanted 
(get this) a fucking ***CREDIT CARD**** before they would even open
a ***FUCKING CHECKING ACCOUNT****.  What the hell is wrong with you
people up here?  

I go to the grocery store and what do I see?????????????
Fucking barricades so I can't take my shopping cart full of $110 worth
of groceries to my car.   I've been ALL OVER Texas and have yet
to see a grocery store with that kind of security.   

WHAT's my point?  You ass-holes up here have let it happen to you!
Why didn't anyone protest when the local stores put up barricades
to keep you from taking your groceries to you car, not the other
way around?  What are you fucking yankees?  Stupid?
This would ***********NEVER************* go over in Texas.
The store would go out of business.

That's all, reread it and capture it.  I'm pissed..

Here's another post from a user in Argentina (further south, no doubt..):

From: ALBERT FISCHER
Date: 06/11/89
Subj: .

Wow! Ground Zero..can't believe what I read! You understand me!!
To The Prophet: I am not against the US, but I am against them exploiting our 
people.  Anyway, there are few people here that can enjoy computers and techno-
logy.  Im one of the lucky ones. But.. most Argentinians are not! And they work
10-12 hr a day just to earn $50 us per month!!! And that's EXPLOITING! true 
that we depend on US and Europe, but it's true too, that we have no chance to 
get out of this situation, because YOU and europe regulate the world prices for
everything we produce. The US and Europe don't wish us to be Japan or Germany, 
or someting like this....they just want us where we are. Because...you need 
that cheap workers to make difference which you invest in more and more tech-
nology. So please stop talking of the billions spent in help. That billions are
not help, that's because we worked so long, and what we need to not die from 
starvation, so you can continue with this silly game....like IBM, i.e. Why do 
you think there is an IBM factory in Argentina? In USA they must pay at least 
$1000 a month for each worker..here..it's OK to pay $50 a month, but it's not 
enough to sustain a whole family of 4 or 5 members....but...anyway, that's not 
YOUR problem, as all the Americans say... It's simple, they say, they can't pay
more, because there would not be profits for them.... and that is a great LIE!!
IBM was the greatest exporter last year....
This is a game where two players are needed. One rich player, and one poor 
player. If the poor player DIES, the rich one can't keep playing, and winning. 
They can't keep selling their technology, and they can't continue exploiting 
the other people. 

The same would happen if the poor one goes socialist..Why do you think there 
are thousands of contras in Honduras and Nicaragua? Just for fun?.....KILLING 
PEOPLE THAT DO NOT WANT TO WORK FOR THE U.S.!!!!

A.F.


Right on, Albert!!!!!!!

Hi folks. First up, it's Prime Anarchist with Prime Anarchist World News:

p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*

PRIME ANARCHIST PRODUCTIONS Presents ATI, now a GZP - in case you didn't know
that already. PAP, Activist Times Inc. and Ground Zero Productions all come
under the same umbrella (but we're not trying to sell you insurance - just
share some ideas).

     "Check out special billing options....like accounting codes. These codes
are dialed with the call (usually 2 digits). Calls come back summarized by
code.
     "One warning: most accounting codes are not 'restrictive', i.e. calls
will go through for any 2 digits dialed, so this is not a good way to control
abuse."
     See possibilities there? I do. Adding 2 digits to a 14-digit Sprint or
MCI card could force 17 calls to the same place to take up 17 lines. So
--instead of your bill showing 17 calls to Oshkosh, Wyoming for a total of so
many minutes, there will be 17 lines for those calls.  In other words, do a
random number each time (99 possibilities for each call dialed) and the bill
will come home in a box.

     Best prank I've heard of so far?
     23 year-old Joseph Mulcahey tried to withdraw money at his local bank.
     Suddenly, police showed up and took him away. He says he had no idea
someone days before scribbled "Give me $10,000. I have a gun." on the back of
a withdrawal slip and put it back in the middle of the stack at the bank's
table.

     A real "war-on-drugz" would have to involve alcohol, tobacco, caffeine,

     Book review: "Loyalties" by Carl Bernstein. Carl tackles the issue of
having a mom and dad who joined the Communist party. More than just commies,
Mr. and Mrs. Bernstein were hard workers in the labor movement. Joining the

     I.D. trick of the month: Go to East Germany as a tourist. Get their

                      --- The Roving Eavesdropper---

We got a lot of compliments on the story called "Terrorism of a 976 Phone Sex 
Line" in ATI37. And the chat buffer in ATI34 got a lot of laughs, too. So, ATI
will now have a new occasional feature called "The Roving Eavesdropper", where
we will bring you possible conversations that possibly took place over the 
phone, over the modem (via buffers), or even in person.  We bring you this 
feature to represent reality. To show you humorous sides of human interaction 
that are normally not encountered. To just have some fun!!!

So, in this issue we bring you a buffer from a chat system called Diversi-Dial.
Diversi-Dial, or D-Dial as it is commonly referred to, is a 300-baud chat 
system run on an Apple computer and 7 modems and phone lines. It seems to 
sometimes attract a more interesting variety of individuals, as we will see 
now.  

When a + is shown, it means someone is had logged on. A - indicates someone 
logged off. Users who do not have a password (they cost between $5-$15 per 
month) have a time limit of 5 minutes on the system. The callers in this 
instance were all non-password holders, so you will see a lot of logging on and
logging off, including the signons and signoffs of the person who buffered this
fascinating conversation. 
                                        A /s gives a list of users online. So when you see /s it should be follwed by 
a short list. And any line beginning with P was a private message to the user
who buffered this.
                                        Anyway, on with the show:

Wasn't that special? Look in ATI44 for a great story called "Typical 
Converstion Heard at a Suburban Mall". It'll knock your socks off!!


flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash

Now for a special announcement:


RC Cola drinkers, unite.
Boycott Pepsi.

     Wayne Calloway, Pepsico's Chairman also sits of Exxon's Bored of
Directors. Exxon and Pepsi are both bad on the First Ammendment (not to
mention the environment! -GZ). Pepsico's address is Purchase, NY 10577; fone
number is 914-253-2000.

Suggestions:

1. Light up their switchboard.
2. Tear up your Exxon card.
3. Don't buy Exxon gas or other products.
4. Tape or crazy-glue all Pepsi vending machines.
5. Write "Pepsi Boycott" in the street in front of major sidewalk promotions.
6. Jam Pepsi ads on your local TV station (We're not in the Max Headroom days
yet! -GZ)
7. Buy your grocer's homemade colas.
8. Get the Coke recipe and brew your own.
9. Start drinking iced tea.
10. Hijack a Pepsi truck and and drive it off a cliff (dress up like an Indian
or a Coke deliveryman).
11. Call your operator and pose this rhetorical question: "On your next break
will you drink a Pepsi, which stands for censorship, or will you participate
in the boycott?"

So next time you want to make the choice of a New Generation, pop open a Royal
Crown.

GZ's note: Don't forget other Pepsi products, like Slice. If in doubt, check 
the can or label.

And now, a story from the 10-17-89 issue of The Sun. For all you Trekkies like
me! Read it and laugh:

Hundreds of Trekkies Shave Their Heads to Look Like Captain Picard--

            (Typed in from a tabloid called THE SUN)

     The next generation of trekkies has had it with the fake Vulcan ears of
Mr. Spock --they're shaving their heads to look like Captain Picard!
     Bald heads are popping up all over the country as more and more
spaced-out STAR TREK fans pay tribute to the skinhead Enterprise captain of
TV's STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION.
     "STAR TREK isn't just a TV show, it's a way of life", says bald Kevin
Johnson, 23. "And Captain Picard is the best example of what the Enterprise
crew stands for.
     "Shaving your head is the ultimate test for a Trekkie to show his
allegiance."
     While older STAR TREK fanatics are free to do what they want with thier
hair, parents are alarmed that growing numbers of young children are taking
razors to their scalps. 
     Mad mom Marlene Peterson forbid her 10-year old son Gary from watching
his favorite show when he arrived at the breakfast table sporting a Captain
Picard top.
     "I could have dropped dead", she recalls. 
     "He had used his father's electric razor the night before and shaved off
every hair.
     "When I screamed at him he just shrugged and said all the kids were doing
it."
     STAR TREK has always had a large group of steadfast loyal fans who'll go
to amazing extremes to imitate their heroes. 
     But according to Dr. Louise Fitzgibbon, a top psychologist who has
studied the phenomenon, Captain Picard is an especially attractive role model.
     "He is very dedicated and professional", she says. 
     "Although he seems unemotional on the surface, he will make any sacrifice
for his crew.
     "To devoted trekkies, he is the man of the future, and for them, shaved
heads are the final frontier."

Now, a poem from Ramin S. (213)

The time
allotted for
you to dial has been 
exceeded... Please hang by 
your neck
till dead.

               -- Ramin S.

(That's kind of like what the fone compaany thinks of its public...Heh.)

Now for a great poem I saw in Environmental Action magazine:


          WHAT KING GEORGE SAYS

"It's sweet and it doesn't have any of that stuff theey spray on the apples"

        -George Bush, on why he drinks carrot juice (Newsweek, March 27, 1989)

He ought to know,
head of a government that
okays carcinogens on
our apples, grapes and 
other produce.
Friend of Uniroyal, which makes Alar.
Buddy of the fruit and vegetable cartels.
Overseer of comprador governments that
spray DDT on their own field hands.

Carrot juice, though less dangerous,
is not cheap, nor available in Safeway,
Kroger or Winn-Dixie.
It's the juice of those who know,
those who can afford to shop
in gourmet health food stores.

As for the masses, King George says:
LET 'EM EAT ALAR

                  -- Bob Slaymaker

Alar is a ripening agent used mainly on apples and is a known carcinogen.
And it looks like the masses ARE going to eat Alar. The federal government is 
buying out a 15-million surplus created when the serious effects of Alar became
widely publicized. These apples will be distributed to the poor. They will not 
be tested for Alar content.

==============================================================================

A major quake happened in Northern California, affecting San Francisco,Oakland,
San Jose and other cities. I hope the people affected get the best help 
possible. At least ol' Bush was kind enough to declare the area a disaster 
area, and federal aid will soon follow.

That's all for ATI43. See you on the dark side of the moon!

Hi folks! It's time for Prime Anarchist World News!

Hola, Buena. How goes it? Prime here. I cannot believe we're over 40 issues
old already.

Great. Whelp, here's some more PAWN, ok?

     The first receivers of fone calls said, "Ahoy-ahoy", instead of the later
greeting, "Hello".
     10288 is 10-A-T-T. Neat, huh? 10488 is 10-I-T-T. Fitting. How the (10222)
MCI signifies is beyond me. They were probably just late arranging an
assignment. 
     Oct. 16th, a guy held up a motel. He stole cash, checks and the
telephone. He got away, because the desk clerk had no way to call police until
after he left.
     Caffeine freaks: 2 teabags'll work, extra ground'll work; but a chocolate
bar dropped in your cup will not. Sure, it'll add caffeine, but you won't be
happy with the taste. The stuff that rises to the top resembles soggy bread,
bot to sight and taste. And the stuff left at the bottom after you drink will
sit at the bottom of your stomach for 75 minutes. Drop in two no-doz, or a
vivarin, if you must, but make sure there's already something in el stomacho.
     Sing this to the tune of "pattycake" (the old mother goose rhyme?):

     tammy fay, tammy fay,
     bakker's wife.
     pray that he
     doesn't get life.

     Judging from the affadavit (for a phreaker's arrest) printed in issue 41,
do they really feel safe to assume that an autodialer, a cassette recorder, a
floppy disc, a modem, a telephone and (or) a computer is a direct sign of
crime? Holy schmoley, Foley. Sure we've seen these things used and abused. The
DEVICE is not a threat. Wake up, cops. You're playing the fool.
     AMOS I have never worked with. Is it new? How old? How about someone 
in-the-know (or in-the-think) giving a class on it? Share the wealth, Arouah!!
     Hey "Fucking Texan" (Android Pope) Let's get something clear. Yankees
are not all bad. And especially not stupid. Just that many of them have been.
There are good AND bad in all kinds of people. If you resort to generalizations
like you did in your message, you ARE the "fucking texan" you so resent being
called. 
     The US and NATO forces are definitely working to destabilize countries
like Albert Fischer's Argentina. It maintains our "high" way of life here in
the states; but it's extremely dangerous. Very volatile. What you key in on,
Fischer, is very accurate. This also happens in Texas.
     Radio Shack pays about $70 a month for Mexicans to come help build Tandy
computers and camcorders. SO WHY DO TX's AND REALISTICtm PRODUCTS STILL COST
SO @#*@!ing MUCH TO BUY THESE DAYS??? Us Americans are almost criminal for
even ALLOWING this to continue.
     Nice captures of D-Dial. Let's see ore people sending in stuff they find
on BBS's, on escalators, in malls, upstairs on the doubledecker bus, or while
riding an emu, or a buffalo.
     I have a few really good printouts (about a year old) from a chat system
in East Germany. I'll hafta find them and share. Thing is-- I won't be able to
get them out of my SDB til December or so. Whatch --for-- it.
     Do you read the New York Slimes, or NewsSpeak magazine? Let's hear what
mags, papers, rags, or books you all like, dislike, don't care about, etc.
     Well, I have to do it. Sorry. A couple of quake jokes. I know they still
hurt, so I'll get 'em out of the way now, and move on.
     Everyone's tryin' to figure out if it was the San Andreas fault, or the
Haymer fault, or what. I don't care whose fault it was, it was devastating.
     The rice-a-roni building burnt down; they had to sell out. Guess who
bought them? Shake-n-Bake. (Keep your day job!!! -GZ)
     All new--x-rated TV weekly cartoon using clay figurines called gum-me and
poke-me.
     When asked how old, I usually say, "old enough to know better, but young
enough to do it anyways."
     Hey, Ramin (213). Speaking about the fone click people -- I picked up the
receiver the other day and popped a dime in. I dialed the local number I
wanted. 
     "ITI operator", she cuts in. "Would you like normal service, or the
special service for an additional 35 cents?"
     I told her I couldn't afford the special service, so I settled for normal
service. 
     "Thank you for using ITI", she told me and hung up. Click. That's it.
Nothing. I lost my dime, never got my call thru, and ran out of money.
     "Blessed are the young, for they are going to inherit the national debt"
--Hoover.
     Janet Jackson must have the same face painter, and hairstylist as
Micheal, and his monkey. All three look identical. 
     "Pax intrantibus" --Merton. Peace to all who enter.
     Best time to eat pizza is 5:53 in the morning, cold. Canoeing is fun.
(did I spell that right???)
     I'm going to write a song called "parchese with 7 pieces missing," just
so the New York Slimes, NewsSpeak, and the Small Street Urinal have to print
"..and the band played 'parchese with 7 pieces missing.'"
     Found: Left handed pool cue. Brown wood, white pearl inlay. Engraved,
initials H.A. Call 1-800-eat-shit.
     By the way, last night I called 1-800-eat-shit, and it was busy. So I
guess it's a popular business now. I still haven't been able to get through.
I'll post resultz if you try to too.
     Neat. Titanium teeth. If you're afraid your fillings won't outlive you
like your teeth will; you can have titanium teeth installed. They cost $1500
bucks each. All it'll cost you for both uppers AND lowers is $8000. "I'll buy
that for a dollar" --skid roper (who else??)

Oh well, that's about it for this bit. I will ketch you l'8 r.

I just got a mailing from GMHC, a New York organization working to help AIDS
victims and their families, educate people about AIDS, and more. I'll summarize
it for you:

Burroughs Wellcome, producer of the drug AZT known to help AIDS patients, has
just lowered the price of AZT by 20% to about $6,400 a year.

But it's still far too costly. Especially since Burroughs Wellcome will NOT
reveal the cost of producing the drug to ANYONE, not the public, and not even
Congress. 

Their refusal to disclose the cost of producing the drug or further reduce its
price is especially unfair, since the Ameerican taxpayers have paid for AZT
three times.

First, the US government gave Burroughs Wellcome financial assistance and tax
credits for research. Then, taxpayers picked up the tab for most of the
clinical trials for AZT. And now, the federal government is their largest
customer with Medicaid and other assistance programs. As the 9/15/89 Wall
Street Journal stated: "AZT's profits are something of a windfall", since
Burroghs Wellcome "didn't create the compound, it wasn't the first to discover
its effectiveness against AIDS-type retroviruses, it didn't discover its
effectiveness against AIDS itself and it didn't conduct the first human tests.
Much of that work was done by other scientists, some at the National Institute
of Health with federal funding."

A 50% price cut would double the number the federal government can help in AZT
assistance. GMHC asks all concerned people (and you should all be concerned!)
to:

1- Call Burroughs Wellcome at 1-800-922-9292 and tell them "Thanks, but it's
not enough!"

2- Send GMHC a note asking them to add your name to their petition which will
be directed to the White House, Congress, the New York congressional
delegation and Burroughs Wellcome. The petition states:

"Access to medical care and affordable medicines must be made available for
HIV-positive people. We are tired of programs which offer too little, too
late. We want action now!"

And when you send your note, send a contribution to GMHC if you can. 

Note: I can't find GMHC's address. If you wish to contact them, call New York
City information (212)555-1212 and ask for the number for Gay Men's Health
Crisis and call them. They will give you the address to write to.

-----------------more stuff on AIDS-------------->

Tens of thousands of Americans have died from AIDS. And today there are
600,000 KNOWN cases of AIDS. The number of people who are HIV-positive and
don't know it is probably extremely high. 

The money dedicated to researching a cure for AIDS is less than 1% of the
total money given by the federal government for medical research.

About 2,000 babies are born with AIDS each year in New York city alone.

HBO had an excellent documentary on called "Common Threads: Stories from the
Quilt" on the air recently. The story centered around a quilt that has over
15,000 panels, each one dedicated to someone who had died of AIDS, and told
the specific stories of five AIDS victims who had died: three gay men, a
former IV drug user who stopped using too late to avoid AIDS, and a 10-yr old
hemopheliac boy who got the virus through a blood transfusion. The stories
were very moving, and the entire show presented a lot of facts about AIDS and
our government's failure to respond to the crisis. If HBO shows this special
again, do catch it.

If anyone would like more information about the Names Project Quilt dedicated
to those who have died of AIDS, the address is: Names Project, PO Box 14573,
San Francisco, CA 94114. Fone number is 415-863-5511.

There is a BBS dedicted to providing information about AIDS. It's called the
AIDS Information BBS, and it has sections providing facts about AIDS,
statistics about AIDS, infomation about organizations that help AIDS victims,
legal advice, and more. Call this BBS at 415-626-1246. Sysop is Ben Gardiner.
Adress is: PO Box 1528, San Francisco, CA, 94101.

Now for a story about three men talking in a shopping mall. Because two of the
men's names were not known, they are referred to in the story as A and B.

"Typical Conversation Overheard at a Suburban Mall"

     One day I was sitting at the food court at a shopping mall, one of the
great meccas of suburban culture. I sat at a table adjacent to the center of
the mall, with its numerous fountains, benches, winding staircases and mall
rats (people addicted to hanging out in these malls) of all ages. 
     I became interested in a fascinating conversation taking place near me.
Two guys sat on a bench near me with their backs towards me. They both wore
ragged t-shirts and jeans, and had long hair. Both of them wore baseball caps
trned backwards, one of them a Metallica cap. They were talking to another guy
named Steve, who worked at one of the many food concessions. They were
conversing about a woman they all knew:
     "Hey, you know that girl Cathy? Theone who hangs out at Joe's Bar?",
asked A.
     "Uh, which one? What does she look like?", asked B.
     "If you knew her you would KNOW who we're talking about", said Steve with
a laugh. "She gets, uh, kinda funny when she's drunk."
     "Oh, yeah," said Steve. "I know the one."
     "She gets so damn horny when she's drunk. She was drunk over at Joe's the
other night and gave me a really big kiss for no reason at all," stated A.
     "She's always there. I don't know who watches her kids while she's
there," said Steve.
     "How old is she?" asked A.
     "She's thirty-eight. With three kids," said Steve.
     "Yeah, well, whenever she's at that bar she's always hanging all over all
the guys there. Especially the young guys. When I was in there the other night
she was hugging and kissing all of them. She knew all their names," said B in
a disgruntled manner.
     "You've seen her there?" asked A.
     "Yeah. I took her there one night and she was flirting with all the young
guys. She knew every one of them," said B angrily.
     "She always gets really drunk," added Steve.
     "And then she'll do anyone," said B. "But I don't want to do her. I could
do her anytime I want, but I don't want to see what she looks like after
having had three kids."
     "Yeah, I know what you mean," replied A.
     "You know man, I brought her over to meet my friend Roy once. You know,
the one who's an auto body mechanic?" Steve and A nodded. "Well, he took a
liking to her and I had to leave her there alone with him! And then he
actually GAVE her one of his cars to drive around in. I couldn't fucking
believe it!" exclaimed B.
     "Is that thee Ford I saw her driving a couplee of weeks ago?" asked
Steve. "That's a nice car."
     "Yeah, that's the one. Now she's driving around in his car picking up
young guys," grumbled B.
     "Hey I hear her sister and her daughter are the same way," chided Steve.
     "Her daughter's seventeen, right? Too young," mused A, looking down at
the tile floor.
     "Yeah," answered Steve. "But then again, she's not too much like her
mother. No one's quite like Cathy..."
     "Hey, I could do Cathy in a minute, man," said B with a wave of his arm.
"But I just don't want to see what she looks like after having three kids." B
turned to Steve. "Hey do you know anyone that did her?" he asked Steve.
     Steve shook his head and developed a slight grin.
     "Hey man, why don't you do her this weekend and tell me how it was?"
asked B, hopefully. Steve's response was another shake of his head and a grin.
     B looked at the floor for a moment and cracked a half-smile. "When she
was drunk one night at Joe's she almost fell down and I put my arm around her.
Her waist DID seem kinda slender.. and nice...," His voice trailed off as his
eyes stared ahead. Steve and A exchanged a smirky glance.
     "She's at this bar a lot," noted A. "Does she have a lot of money to
drink with?"
     "No. Get the picture?" answered Steve.
     "Yeah, I get it," A responded with a laugh.
     "Hey I think I'll call her later," mused B. "You got her nummber?" he
asked Steve.
     "Yeah, it's home though," said Steve.
     "Oh, I'll hafta get it from you later," said B as he rose. "You heading
over to Joe's now?"
     "Yeah," answered Steve, rising.
     "How bout you?" B asked A.
     A stood up and stretched. "Yeah, let's go", he said, slapping B on the
shoulder. 
     Although it certainly couldn't be discerned from their conversation, when
A and B turned around and faced my direction, their faces showed that they
were approximately in their earlt thirties.
     The three headed towards the door and walked out into the early autumn
evening, laughing.

                 Notes from Ground Zero.......

     Bush was in NJ and Virginia the friday before Election Day to help out in
the gubernatorial races in those states. And when Bush came to NJ, he visited
none other than my town Bloomfield. 
     Most of the spectators could not get close to the grandstand, however.
This was because it was sectioned off with gates, and a ticket had to be
obtained from the Republican comittee in advance. There were a bunch of
neo-Nazi Yuppie-type young Rebublicans guarding the entrance to the sectioned-o
ff area, taking tickets. But they weren't very smart, as I outsmarted them and
snuck in anyway. Some time later, I encountered a guy I knew in high school
who I used to argue with about politics. And he was carrying a pro-choice
sign, to my surprise. 
     "Hey man, good to see you're on the right side now!" I exclaimed. "How
did you get in with that sign? They only allow pro-Republican signs on this
side."
     "I just walked in," he answered. "No one stopped me."
     "Hey, you can't carry that over here!" shouted one of the yuppie Young
Republicans. "Get out of here."
     "Well, I see plenty of YOUR signs on this side," I answered. 
     "THESE signs," began the right-wing fascist, "are cleared with the Secret
Service to appear before the President and be photographed by the media. YOUR
signs are not. They could have subversive messages on them!"
     "Oh come on, that's ridiculous..." I began, but was interrupted by a very
tall, muscular man in a trench coat who walked swiftly up to my friend and I,
grabbing us by the arm.
     "All right, out you go," he said, pushing us outside the entrance into
the crowd on the other side. My friend and I stepped back inside, but he
pushed us back out again. I was about to ask him what authority he had to
throw us out, but gave up and joined the pro-choice demonstrators, whose
numbers were impressive. 
     Some of the young Republicans tried to block us by holding their signs in
a way so that ours could not be seen. But they tired of that, and lowered
them. A few minutes later, two young men tried to block our signs by actually
having one climb on the other's shoulders and holding up the American flag.
Ironic, eh? 
     "Anyone got a light?" I asked loudly. The demonstrators laughed.

     Well, anyway, both Republican gubernatorial candidates Bush tried to help
that day lost. Jim Florio won in NJ, and in Virginia, the first Black governor
in American history was elected.
     Speaking of the Bushs, I kinda like Barbara Bush. I think she's more, er,
real than ol' Nancy Reagan, who always had that sick smile pasted on her face
that looked sooooooo phony. Anyway, here's someting Barbara Bush said that I
really liked: There was a rumor going around saying that she weighed 135
pounds (which is impossible). Our First Lady responded to that rumor by
saying, "I was BORN weighing 135!". All right! 
     "Hard Copy" is another yellow-journalistic, exploitation show that's
aired on CBS. A few weeks ago, they showed color films, that they claimed were
"home movies" made of Hitler and his close friends, filmed by Eva Braun. They
looked fake. Then, a few days ago they showed "home movies" of Leona Helmsley.
Gimme a break.
     Peru - with all the hype about Colombia and the drug cartels, I didn't
know that actually 60% of the coccaine in the US comes from Peru. Peru is a
mess. They have a social democratic gov't that's failing, 2 bands of comunist
guerrillas that control part of the country. And it's claimed that the drug
lords pay the guerrillas with guns and money to allow them to grow coccaine in
their territory. (Now THAT'S a disgrace) One of the guerrilla bands is the
Maoist, hard-line communist Shining Path, which has ties to the Revolutionary
Communist Party and the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade in the US
(remember the guy who took the flag-burning case to the Supreme Court? He's a
member of those organizations). Anyway, now a right-wing dude wants to run for
president in Peru. Ha. He won't have much luck straightening up the mess  if
he wins.
     Berlin-- we're seeing history in the making. Hey, did you know that each
first-time E German visitor to W. Germany gets about $55 from the W. German
government to spend? Good deal! But, the exodus to W. Germany seems to be over
for now. Most E. Germans ony want to visit the west, citing drugs, homelessness
problems in W. Germany, and the fact that the pay about 1/10 as much as W.
Germans do for rent, and the fact that their friends and family is in the East
as reasons for not emigrating. 

     El Salvador -- Are we about to see the guerrillas win the civil war? I
don't see either side willing to compromise much in a political solution, so I
would hope that the guerrillas take over and end it already. Many people in
the US are calling for an end to aid to the Salvadoran government, but being
that we've been giving them about $1 million per DAY for over 10 years, I
don't see that happening.
     Well, talk at ya later...

 Dear Sirs:
 
 Please send me information on your dead seals. I understand you have them
 frozen. I am most interested in the furs and any oils that can be extracted.
 I'll be throwing the rest of them away.
 oops, wrong letter. grettings phellow peploids. Prime, back at you with more
 PAWN. Prime Anarchist World News tonight is brought to you by ATI in
 conjunction with AJAX, Palmolive, and Mr. Clean (as you know, the guy on the
 Mr. Clean bottle is Tom Metzger, white supremacy fascist. He won't be too
 pleased to know that he's helped out with postage here).
      GREAT TRASHING IDEA. read this, and collect 3 accrediteed points towards
 your degree in phreak101. You must be majoring in garbology, or at least
 willing to minor in it. Typing rooms. If there is a typing room in your local
 library, check out their garb cans. They are an excellent source of all kinds
 of info, as many people use these facilities to type up resumes, job
 applications, and loan applications.
      Monica DeGrieff. Remember her? She looks really bad. Dark circles under
 her eyes, all strung out, she looks likeshe's doing a nervous breakdown soon.
 Last month she resigned as mayor of Bogota, Colombia. Probably saved her life.
      Earl Grey tea is very good, if you can find it.
      The White House Press Office is back up. 1-800-424-9090. Reporters call
 it so they can pretend they went to DC and report on Bush. Sometimes comical,
 once in a blue moon, informative, the # is worth your dime (I thought the call
 is phree! -GZ)
      Steal This Dirt-- Members of the Hackberry Hill Brethren Grace Church
 arrived to "la culta" one Sunday morning to find 3 feet of the dirt surroundin
  their church gone.  Who took it? A construction company called Ames. They
 used the dirt to build Interstate 76. The case is still in court. Hey, I say
 if you can get your materials free of charge, why not do it? And what better
 group to liberate it from than a "not-for-profit" organization???
       In Iowa, a payphone call now costs 35 cents!!! Mucho mas than other
 citystates. Some charge 25 cents (New York), yet others are still holding fast
 at 10 cents (Connecticut). You can bet your bottom dollar that each city who
 thinks he can get away with this hike, will follow suit. I say time to repeat
 another good old-fashioned sticker campaign. Use computer mailing labels. Make
 them read something like this:

 Gosh, everyone's up in arms these days.
     "Hang up, I'm going to pound off," says Malcolm Freex.
     "Can I watch?" asks Andrew Oliphant.
     Hehehehe.
     WE'VE GOT BIG BILLS -- Many large-city police stations receive collect
 calls from their informants. If you know the name of an officer you don't
 like, "hello, collect call to officer bob, from pedro, an informant." Do it
 many times and they'll call him in Monday next month and say "you're costing
 us too much $."

     I HATE MALE OPERATORS -- by NRK
     I couldn't read the entire payfone # but wanted to charge some calls to
 it. So I called the 0 operator.
     "Can you tell me what # I'm at? I'm standing at a payfone and wish to get
 a call here."
     "No," she said. "I can't do that."
     I asked her a couple of times then gave up and said "supervisor please."
     "Nope. He'll tell you the same thing."
     "I'll take that chance."
     "Supervisor," said the male voice. "Can I help you?" I told him the scene.
 He suggested that I call 1411.
     "You're kidding me," I said. "How will they know? I'm at one of two miles
 wrth of payfones." He assured me that the 1411 op would be able to.
     "He lied," said a comforting 1411 voice. "Try calling the 0 operator a
 couple of times. Maybe one of them will give it to you."
     I succeeded on my first try.
     "I sure CAN tell you. I apologize for that supervisor," said another 0
 operator.

 Here's some thoughts on auto insurance:
 
 These are the reasons why car insurance rates are high :
 1. high medical care costs
 2. high auto repair bills
 3. lawsuits
 4. auto theft
 5. fraudulent claims
 6. industry operating costs
 7. urbanization (population)
 8. The mix of vehicles...small cars greater damage usually more expensive.
 
 Facts:     Lawyers get about .52 cents of a dollar on any claim.
            A 12000. car would cost aprox. 40000. to rebuild using parts suppli
            In the past six years medical costs have risen 80%.

 A few words about Canada...
 
           400,000 USE FOOD BANKS TO SURVIVE, STUDY SAYS
 
           Reprinted from the Toronto Star
           Saturday, November 18, 1989, Page A12
 
      Nearly 400,000 Canadians must resort to usig food banks or some
 other charitable food program every month or face starvation, a study
 released yesterday shows.
      One in every 65 Canadians now relies on a food bank or food
 donations just to survive, according to a Canadian Association of Food
 Banks survey of 65 food banks across the country.
      Of these recipients, at least 40 per cent are children, says Barry
 Davidson of the association.
      "This os one of the most shocking numbers," he told the opening
 session of a weekend food bank conference at the University of Western
 Ontario yesterday.  "It means kids are almost twice as (badly) off as
 adults."
      The study, based on statistics for March, 1989, indicates children
 are twice as likely as adults to be fed by food banks.
      In March 1989, the association's official "humber count" was
 378,000 Canadians from 175,000 households, who required food assistance
 about 1.3 times per month.
      Of these, 87 per cent received groceries to prepare at home; 13
 per cent averaged 23 meals per month, the survey found.
      The survey also found the amount of food distributed increased
 significantly from 648 tons in 1988, up to 782 tons in only the first
 10 months of this year.

 This issue we have a small column. It's a possible conversation that possibly
 could have taken place over a car phone:
 (Note: > = male's voice, < = female's voice.)
 
 > Hi baby.
 < Hi, where are you?
 > Right by your house. I'm 5 minutes away. I'll be right over.
 < Huh? I was sleeping.
 > What?
 < I was sleeping. Wait.. did you say you were coming over?
 > Yeah, did you eat?
 < No, and I'm hungry too.
 > Well, we'll go out to a diner and have a nice dinner..
 < (interrupts) No! I have to take a shower. My hair is a mess! I can't go out
 like this!
 > Don't worry about your hair. You gotta have something to eat. It's late and
 < (interrupts) Well, my mother and I were going to come over your house later
 anyway. We have to wash some clothes.
 > Well why don't you and I get something to eat first. I'm hungry too. You wan
 to go to a diner or somewhere else?
 < No, my face isn't done. And my hair is a mess.. I have to take a shower...
 How about you bring over something from Roy Rogers'?
 > I hate Roy Rogers! Look, I'll be over in 5 minutes. I'll honk the horn. If
 you don't come out, just forget it, ok?
 < Ok.

 Some of the older cordless phones using the frequencies marked by the <*>
 asterisk are paired with frequencies around 1.7 MHz. Listening to the 1.7 MHz
 side will yield both sides of the conversation.
 The best frequencies to monitor are the 46 MHz as they will repeat both sides
 of the conversation. Power output of both base and hand units are less than
 100 Mw or 1/10 watt so the range is limited. Careful monitoring will produce
 some outstanding results. It is not uncommon to hear conversations up to a
 mile away.

 Wow! This issue turned out to be longer than I thought after all. Anyway, I'll
 leave you with a poem someone shared with the users on my bbs:
 
 He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be
 One against whom there was no official complaint,
 and all the reports on his conduct agree
 That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a saint,
 For in everything he did he served the Greater Community.
 Except for the War till the day he retired
 he worked in a factory and never got fired,
 But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc.
 Yet he wasn't a scab or odd in his view,
 For his Union reports that he paid his dues,
 (Our report on his Union shows it was sound)
 And our Social Psychology workers found
 That he was popular with his mates and liked a drink.
 The Press are convinced that he bought a paper every day
 And that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way.
 Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured,
 And his Health-card shows he was once in a hospital but left it cured.
 Both Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare
 He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Installment Plan
 A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire.
 Our researchers into Public Opinion are content
 That he held the proper opinions for the time of year;
 When there was peace, he was for peace; when there was war, he went.
 He was married and added five children to the population,
 Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his generation,
 And our teachers report that he never interfered with their education.
 Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd:
 Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.

Howdy! Welcome to ATI46. I know it's been a while. But, we should be getting
on a regular schedule from now on.. like every 2 weeks or so. Thanks for all
of your support in the recent months. ATI's readership has been growing, and
we've been getting a lot of positive feedback. Keep the comments, positive and
negative, coming! 

This issue brings some new contributors, namely Sk8 The Skinhead (313) and
TI-Man (201). Look for their contributions later in upcoming issues! 

Also, we are happy to announce the return of a BBS run by The Mentor of LOD
called The Phoenix Project. It's an excellent board that I highly reccomend.
Call it at 512-441-0229 for the most stimulating discusion of computer and
telecom-related subjects!

Speaking of BBSs.. here is a partial list of boards that you can find ATI on.
Give these great boards a call!

The Red Phone.............201-748-4005
The Phoenix Project.......512-441-0229
Sycamore Elite............815-895-5573
F/X Animation (amiga!)....201-368-0573
Batcave (C-64 pirate).....201-779-3924
Ry-Lor's Den..............201-759-2066
Wizard's Vale.............516-826-7866
Tessier-Ashpool...........201-830-8835
Cyberspace................201-916-1943

Also, we are proud to announce that ATI has gone international! You can also
get ATI issues from a great German BBS at (49) 711 284 351. Call it today!! We
are also expecting to be on quite a few more international BBSs. 

We don't know exactly where ATI is getting to, but these are the places that
we know ATI is getting uploaded regularly to. In the next few weeks I will
attept to compile a more complete list of boards that have ATI issues. And of
course, it goes without saying that if you have ATI issues, please do upload
them to any boards you call! 

Also, we are now offering full sets of ATI issues to anyone who wants them.
Just send us $1.00 to cover postage and give us an address, and we will mail
you a full set of ATI issues for you to enjoy (and upload to your local
boards!). If you already have some issues, then tell us which ones you don't
have (issues 1-46) and we will send you them. The disks can be sent in the
following formats: Commodore, Amiga, IBM MS-DOS, and Atari-ST. All disks are
3 1/2" size, unless you have a Commodore. If you have a Commodore, we can send
you the files on a 3 1/2" disk or 5 1/4" disks. Please do take advantage of
this offer, as we want to get as many people reading ATI as possible. We would
definitely like to hear from any and all BBS sysops that have the space to put
up our issues! (issues 1-46 together make up about 500k)

You can also get ATI issues through Bitnet. Just mail tk0eee1@NIU and you will
be mailed ATI thru the net! 

And now, on with the show!

------->poetry corner-------->

first a poem by ground zero:

    **To Juan**

On a planet
On which life is cheap  
You epitomiz the tragedy
of a single wasted life.

What led to the exit?
Solitude? Fear? Confusion?
I suppose solitude led
to fear and confusion....

If you'd offer'd someone a glimpse
of your heart-
Could this end have been
averted?

So what of your lost future?
What of the event of an individual
being pushed
to end his days?
What of the collective?

We have failed.
Miserably.


  ARMAGEDDON ISLE
  TO THE TUNE OF: Gilligin's Isle...
It all started when we tried to smoke
A joint that was too fat.
We smoked it from beginning to end
In 30 seconds flat.
Them buds they crackled 
'n' seeds all popped as
Paper inched across.
I noticed that my head was getting
High as a kite. 
High as a kite.

The thoughts grew few and far between,
the topics were of peace.
If not for the US and our secret wars
The whole world would be free.
The whole world would be free.

So then the others turned to me
And this is what one said.
  We can have peace,
  And Freedom too,
  Equality,
  And justice.

But the movie star
Is a war monger and greedy bastard.
Here on Armageddon Isle.
Here on Raygun's Isle.
Here on Bush's Isle.


TO THE TUNE OF "CHESTNUTS ROASTING"
Flame broiled Whoppers in 
a cardboard box.
French fries sizzling in fat.
Eat them fast or they're soggy and flat
Burger King is where it's at.

You know that Herb is on his way.
And his whole entire ad campaign is gay
Even though, they do it your way,
It still costs too much for  
     steroid sandwiches these days.
                   


        and now,
        a poem
       by prime
War?
Local or far away-
Will it ever go away.
I draw a peace sign in the sand,
A crab bites my toe.
I let him go.
The woe of aftermath--
Can we hang?

ok. here's a couple thingies from issues 1-2-3-4&5 of YIPL (a TAP production)

Hi People,
Here's my bill, send me shit on fuck-
ing the Bell System. Man do I need
info on this kinda shit thanks D.B.,
State College, Pa.

In the office we call it "The System",
and use of the word "the" means dog-
matic finality. The wall comes up 
pretty fast when you start tampering
with the way things are done within The
System, and you either slow down and do things Bell's way or knock your brains
out. --AT&T junior executive, spring 
1967.

U6you consider donating a small 
percent of what YIPL helps you save.

CAUTION: YIPL does not advocate making
free calls. However, YIPL doesnt 
believe in paying for calls, either.
If caught, you may be charged with 
fraud and theft of services. So
consider carefully whether you NEED to
call long distance, and if you do,,
consider whether or not you believe in
FREE SPEECH.

...If you wand to discuss this further, call me up sometime. Because of all the agencies claiming to have me under surveillance, it's one of the fastest ways to speak directly to your government.
Your voice with a smile,
           Abbie Hoffman

BELL EMPLOYEES!!!
If you are a Bell System Employee, you
know well enough just what a skinflint
company you work for. Write us your
documented experiences about working 
for the largest, most powerful piece
of shit in the whole world. If you 
don't work for the phone company but
know someone who does, tell them to
write us.
Other suggestions might be to post
issues of YIPL inside the telephone
building or at key places where
pissed-off workers are likely to see
it.
We want to have specific examples of
sexism, racism, anti-semitism, pigism,
and any other ism you can think of.

When sending in fone bills, or income
tax returns, forgetting to put a stamp
on the envelope won't hold up delivery.
So when you do such things, save (8c).

These were from 1,2, and 3. More of this schtuff later,
prime

PS: try this one: (fly Miami on 1.95!!!) Call someone at a payphone. You must pay the first 2 bucks or so. Keep talking way past the click. When you're done talking, the phone'll ring. Pick it up and listen while the recording says to deposit another 7 bucks. Put in about 2 bucks. Hang up, pick it right up, and hang it up again. The next click you hear should be followed by the return of all your change. Maybe more.

Well, i received a another bill notice in the mail from Litel and along with
it was a little News letter thingy called Pulse..in the letter..has a feature
on Litel going International (Whoopy doo) also some other lame article..but
the article that caught my eye was on Toll Fraud..the article is entitled

                Toll Fraud a 500$ million dollar issue
 

        Last year, the telecommunications industry was defrauded a staggering
$500 million.  "Toll fraud is a serious matter," said Judy Betts, Litel
manager, Fraud Control. "If convicted, perpetrators can face up to 20 years in
prison, confiscation of equipment, and be liable for restitution."
        A primary concern of Litel is to minimize instances of toll fraud on
its network.  In the last two years, Litel had averaged less than two-tenths
of one percent of revenues lost to toll fraud.  "By controlling drains on our
operating efficiency such as fraud, we are better able to keep our rates lower
for our customers," said Tom Byrnes, Litel president and chief operating
officer.
        Judy attributes the company's success to a sophisticated electronic
surveilance system and daily management reports.  "We look for certain signals
and patterns," Judy adds.  "By monitoring switch activity on a real time
basis, we are able to witness the intrusion on our own equipment."
        Litel's system is a strong deterrent to fraud, however, Judy has found
that public relations is her department's greatest weapon. "The media provides
a vehicle for us to educate large groups of people on the implications of toll
fraud," she said.
        Litel's fraud department works closely with all branches of law
enforcement local, state and federal. Recently, Judy's department has been
joining forces with the U.S Secret Service in arresting and prosecuting the
suspects.  Judy's department boasts an 85% conviction rate.
        "We cannot relax our monitoring at any time, though, because the
hackers are always looking for new ways to break our security," Judy stated.
        For Litel's Fraud Control Department, the search continues.

-------------------------->random comments from ground zero---->

    Those who know me well know my scorn of MTV.. I have always said that it 
overloads the senses and stems creativity. But I do watch MTV from time to
time to see what they're up to. And I discovered a very interesting thing.
They often run a short commercial that they produced themselves pointing out
the dangers of nuclear power and weapons due to the fact that no reliable
method has been found to store plutonium, which lasts over 40,000 years. The
comercial also urges viewers to only elect officials who will stop the nuclear
industry until a safe method of storing plutonium is secured. Well, I'll tell
ya. I was surprised.. 
    MTV may not be so bad after all...
    Speaking of plutnium and energy and all that happy stuff, I have done some
researching articles in the New York Slimes for the past few months and have
come up with some interesting stuff. For one thing, a study of the Energy
Dept. has shown that the agency is run almost 100% by outside contractors,
from major decisions to its smallest administrative functions, to the point
that Energy Dept officials don't have a clue as to what's going on in their
own agency. Another article I found stated that the Energy Dept.'s official
position on cold fusion research is that scientists should not participate in
it because the Energy Dept views cold fusion as impossible to reproduce on a
large-scale level. The Energy Dept maintains this position even though several
experiments in cold fusion have shown to be promising. Now, I would venture to
guess that the reason why the Energy Dept is against cold fusion is because
the dept. is run by outside interests that have huge vested interests in
nuclear power plants that are up and running and were expensive to build.
Imagine if they were obsoleted by cold fusion? Although cold fusion would
clearly benifit mankind by solving the nuclear waste probelem, the Energy
Dept. is discouraging its development.
    Also, the Energy Dept. has been paying the legal fees and fines of
companies contracted by the dept. to run nuclear weapons factories and other
fuctions. As a result, these companies can operate their plants outside of
legal regulations and not be held accountable because the Energy Dept. will
pay all legal expense and all fines incurred due to any violation. A no-lose
situation for them. 
    The Rocky Flats plant in Colorado, the manufacurer of plutonium for
all nuclear weapons is running out of storage space for plutonium waste. It is
currently being stored at the plant site, but the plant's storage facilities
will be full by June if other sites are not found to store plutonium. One
scienific genius thought of WIPP, the Waste Isolation Pilot Project, in which
the waste would be transported to salt flats in Arizona. The waste would be
stored in metal containers and then stored in salt catacombs. The catacombs,
however will fill up with water in the future, and the metal containers
storing the most dangerous waste known to mankind will corrode. Luckily, the 
WIPP project has been put on hold until more studies on its effects are done.
But even more frightening is the idea that ol' King George Bush came up with
for plutonium waste storage. Bush decided that it would be a grand idea to use
US Army bases as "temporary storage sites" for the wastes until sites for
permanant storage have been found. Every area considered for storage, however,
has officials that emphatically declined to take the wastes, with one
exception. The Governor of Colorado offered army bases in Colorado as sites
for storage. 
    The Rocky Flats plant, formerly run by Rockwell International up until
last fall, is currently involved in a court case for violation of enviromental
laws. Even the industry-run Energy Dept. stated that the Rocky Flats plant was
violating almost every Federal environmental law in respect to its operations.
Rockwell Int. has sued the Federal gov't over a waste dispute.
    Now.. we have an Energy Dept. run by outside interests that discourages
development of new technologies, and allows contractors to violate environmenta
l laws by paying their fines and legal fees. And we have elected officials who
want to store nuclear waste in salt catacombs certain to fill with brine, or
just expediently throw them on an army base. There's only one answer to the
question of nuclear power and weapons:
    SHUT DOWN ALL NUCLEAR PLANTS AND STOP PRODUCTION OF ALL NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!
    Here's some other stuff of interest I cam up with:
    DRIGGS, IDAHO- Not even this small farming community is safe from the
onslaught of Yuppies. Driggs, pop. 890, is composed of mostly potato farmers.
But since it is located near a ski resort area, an entrepeneur decided to
start building 880 condominuim units. Residents are opposed to the project
because they fear that it will result in speculation and other situations that
would cause real estate prices to soar to the point that these modest farmers
could not afford it and only rich outsiders could. Conservationists claim the
project would an adverse environmental impact on the area. A Federal district
court blocked the project until an environmental impact study could be done.
    Institutional racism- There are only 6 Black judges in the entire state of
Louisiana. 
    The military is no closer to accepting homosexuals in the service.
    It is estimated that 60% or more of the benefits of the cut in capital
gains tax would go to individuals with incomes of $200,000 or more.

Subj: MORRISSEY

I found this article in SMART magazine. January/february issue. I'll type it
in verbatem. (even though I woulda changed a few thoughts)

the typer takes no responsibility for this review as he just found it a nice
article. He does not necessarily reflect the views of this article.

AND NOW THAT THAT'S OUTA THE WAY...


Swamp Yankee
------------
   BILL MORRISSEY IS a white bluesman
the likes of whom we haven't heard much
from since Hank Williams stopped riding his horse onto the stage of the Grand
Ole Opry. The catch is that Morrissey is a Yankee. But why not a bluesman from
the pockets of lost New England? Havent hollows and flats of squalor always
bred the best blues and country?
Morrissey's first two albums, Bill Morrissey and North, earned him acclaim as
"New England's best-kept secret," but his latest, Standing Eight (Philo/Rounder
 Records), should get him wider notice. In fact, when he howls about feeling
"like the wind hung up on barbed wire," you get the sense they're going to
like him a lot in Texas.

Subj: bomb-making bbs'er sentenced to 3yrs

BOMB-MAKING TEEN SENTENCED 
TO A 3-YEAR TERM

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP)--A teenager who helped run a computer bulletin board
service showing how to make explosive devices was sentenced to three years in
prison for his part in a bombing intended to scare a 17-year old girl.
   David Overeem, 18, Gaithersburg, Md., received the sentence Friday from
Montgomery County Circuit Judge John J Mitchell. The computer service,
"Pyromaniack Production Systems," reportedly gave formulas for homemade bombs
to users as far away as California, prosecutors said.
    Authorities said Overeem was one of the leaders of a group of acquaintances
 who called themselves "Damage Incorporated." Assistant State's attorney
Constance Junghans said in court that the group loaded the bulletin board with
recipes for an array of explosive devices including rockets, car bombs, pipe
bombs, bottle bombs, and land mines.
    Overeem was a junior at Gaithersburg High School at the time of his arrest
in April and was described by prosecutors as "emotionally troubled" and a
young man of superior intelligence.
    Overeem pleaded guilty to making a pipe bomb that allegedly was detonated
by a friend of his on March 26 outside the girl's home in Germantown, which
like Gaithersburg is a distant suburb of Washington, DC. 
    The bombing was intended only to frighten the girl, who was a former
girlfirend of Overeem's friend, prosecutors said.
    No one was injured, but a piece of shrapnel tore through a wall and into a
room where three children were asleep, authorities said.

Now, some thoughts on legalizing marijuana from Bob McKenzie (201):

From: BOB MCKENZIE (#108)
Date: 01/08/90 - 3:14 pm
Subj: (R)drugs

Advantages of Drug Legalization:

The most powerful corporations in the world spend millions of dollars every
year to keep canabis illegal.  Why?  The petrochemical industry doesn't want
legal hemp to compete with synthetic fuel and fiber.  The alcohol and tobacco
industries don't want legal marijuana to compete with cigarettes and beer.
(Tobacco and Alcohol account for over 400,000 deaths per year).  If you were
provided with a non-lethal alternative, which would you choose?

In Amsterdam, Crack/Heroin/Crack abuse dropped over 50% as legal marijuana/hash
 cafe's were set up around the country.  The easy availability of legal pot
curbs the desires to obtain illegal, addictive drugs.

Every year, more people die of Skin Cancer (via tanning salons) (6,000) than
from illegal drugs (3,600).  Ponder that.

Take the money out of this ridiculous war and spend it on the real problems,
treatment for addicts.  1 in 500 are treated for abuse, that means over 499
are turned down for treatment daily.  

Ok, here is why I don't think drugs will be legalized yet.  I think the Law
enforcement agencies are going to want a Breath-Analyzer for marijuana intoxic
ation for driving.  Once that is developed, Pot should be legalized.

For more on these subjects, I recommend "INTOXICATION - Life in the Pursuit of
Artificial Paradise" by Ronald K. Siegel, Ph.D.

Siegel talks about the motivation to acheive altered states of consciousness
is actually "a fourth drive" which is as much a part of the human-animal
condition as hunger, thirst and sex.

Ok I'll leave you with this:

*While growing, hemp produces oxygen and removes carbon dioxide (The
Greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere.*

*10,000 acres of hemp will produces as much paper as 40,000 acres of trees. 
Until 1883, 75%-90% of all the paper in the world was made from hemp*

*Methanol and methane fuel, made from cellulose found in hemp, cornstalks, and
waste paper, can be produced at 10% of the current cost of oil, coal, and
nuclear fuel production.*

*The glucose produced from manufacturing methane would feed 100 percent of all
domestic and farm animals*

*The hemp seed (which contains no THC) is a fruit.  AS a protein source this
seed is second only to the soybean*

(swallow them apples)
Bob McKenzie

GZ's note: Also, a lot less chemicals are needed to make paper fom hemp than
currently used to make paper from wood pulp. With the destruction of our 
environment due to our cutting down the trees that sustain our air supply, it 
makes sense to make paper from hemp again...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Guess what! We're out of space again! We have even more stuff, which will have
to go in ATI47. Look for it in about a week. Take care, and be creative!

     Wow. It's been a while since our last issue. And lots of things, good
and bad, have transpired.
     Under Operation Sun Devil, scores of people were raided and busted. One
permanent effect of the operation is the fact that Ripco BBS, an institution
of the computer underground community, is permanently down.
     Another intrgral part of the computer underground that bit the dust is
the famous online newsletter called Phrack.  Its publisher, Knight Lightning,
was left with $100,000 worth of legal bills to pay off, and has stated that
he will not continue to publish the journal, much to the loss of the rest
of us.  Doc Holiday from 713 published his own version of Phrack and
received a great deal of criticism for it.  It is our understanding that he
might continue to use the Phrack name, but we hope that he decides to put
his publication out under a different name.
     Under this climate of repression against computer users, some may have
thought that even ATI has closed its electronic doors.  This is not the case.
We here at ATI will continue to publish as long as there is a readership
interested in our publication.  And with the enthusiasm expressed by many
regarding ATI, we are confident in saying that we'll be around for a long
time.  Sadly enough, however, ATI is the LAST regular underground online
newsletter that is still being published.
     I apologize for the delay between issues.  I promise that ATI will come
out on a more regular basis from now on. Expect to see at least 1 ATI per
month, hopefully more.
     As stated before, ATI is available from many BBS's.  However, I took
down The Red Phone BBS, so ATI's main points of release will be The Workshop
of the Telescopes at 201-916-1943 and the TAP BBS at 502-499-8933.  Since our
last few issues, I found, to my surprise, that it's next to impossible to
list every BBS on which ATI is available, as it's being spread around quite

     Hola Buenos, El Anarchisto Primavera Aqui. Your libertarian at large,
or was that seismologist at the switch? Or was it gynecologist at the
Guggenheim???
     It's 415am. And a nice calm pleasant 60 degrees up here.   I met an old
friend of Jack Keroac'sand he owns a shanty up in the mountains here, 8
miles up by donkee, 11 by foot. (Don't ask me, that's what the sign says).
Can't tell you his name; he's one of those hippies who headed for the hills
for some all too obvious reasons.He owns a Martin guitar from the 1940's
has a book collection out there that makes the Library of Congress look like
Nixon's home library, and charges 3.50 a bunk (room for 40 or more if we're
small) with no hassles about customer name and address.   I stumbled into
this place by accident on a nature hike. (Why would I go 8 miles for a
place to pee? Hmm)At any rate, I'll be returning there this morning sometime
and I'll finish this column then.
    Til then; buenos nachos...
    Oh, one quickie -- a FOLK from Prime.(basic ADE blues) I got the Mercon
buerocrat, fat boojuah status quo blues I got all-a trumps capital,
nothin special to lose. Mercon buerocrat, fat boo-juah status quo blues.
    Was it as good for you as it was for me?
    Ever find yourself sleeping too deepto dream? Do "think-of's"; that'll
bring you back out to REM-- you'll then start dreaming again.   If you're
not good at remembering your dreams when you wake up, keep a small notepad
next to your bed. When you awake, jot down all the icons instead of trying
to write the whole story. Then write later from your notes you'll lose less.
eg: wineglass, pen,sarah, t-shirt, no smoking sign, kiss,ankle bracelet,
ring, guitar, table,chair, bar, notebook, tongs.  Then later you go for the
story aspect. You're drinking wine at a coffee house with Sarah, exchanging
poems, wanting to smoke. Sarah's wearing just a really long t-shirt, annkle-
bracelet and a ring. You kiss her a couple times. You promise to teach
her to play guitar as she admires the entertainment. She puts on her tongs
and the two of you leave. Then you woke up.
     What ever happened to MRR magazine?If anyone knows, do tell. THNX
     "The Hopi people <indians for you who have no clue> declare that Hopi
Power be a force which will bring about world peace." From their Hopi
Declaration of Peace, circa 17Jun90.
     Beware of false prophets. If it looks too good to be true; it's probably
tooooooooooooooo risky.
     Insider Info: most people who win on game shows do not naturally jump
up and down so queerly as is seen on TV. We tend to sit there with a
"potential mass murderer" grin on our faces.   For this we need a coach. He
makes the gals shake about enough to jiggle their tits in the most queer
contrived fashion; and us guys are required to wiggle around like an
uninhibited homosexual.  So remember, if it looks real, theres probably an
"applause" sign staring him down.
     If you spell quiche with a "k" (keesh?) then real men too will eat it.
     What's dharma mean?   I drank a whole bottle full of acid rain. How
come nothing happened for me except the men's room???   Define "yabyum".
     Whatever happened to the Frito Bandito??? Was he replaced by "just do
it", and "sometimes you gotta break the rules"?!?!?!?   I finally got a
copy of "Skinny Legsand All" by Tom Robbins. I'll let ya know how I'm doin
in a little bit.   "A close association of unions and big business is the
hallmark of a fascist economy." Wow. Que concept.From the book "Trilaterals
Over Washington". Are we already there???Close???   Make a profit; or just
look like one at Oral Roberts school of Business/Television Entertainment/
and Gospel Phukking.
     Research Topic of the Week: A war on drugz can be seen as a diversion.
Just like baseball, wife beating, or the drugz in and of themselves. PS:
dont forget to turn your parents in if you think they're smoking pot. Witch
Hunt? Nah...   A war on Drugz cannot be "won" cause it is so deeply rooted
in our culture. Like our violence, our drug abuse (to include for sure
nicotene and alcohol) is not doubt here to stay.  To get rid of drugz,
you'd have to get rid of the peoploidz involved. And how do you rid
yourself of your mayor,your sheriff, your mom or yourself???
     We shouldve kept the Injuns alive long enuff for them to learn us how
to treat our environ.   Enviro-tip of the week-- dont use too much
detergent. Over sudsing makes the machine work harder. Use half what the
box recommends. Maybe even less.Remember, they WANT you to use so much.Then
you keep Mr. Maytag in 24$ per hr.   Runner-up: Keep a couple bottles of
water in the fridge rather than runnin the tap all the time. --good bottles
are Verifine apple, and just about any grapefruit jug. Prime Note: always
use glass. Shy away from plastic. Cause u'r gonna hafta throw it away SOME
time!!!
     Suggestion of the decade: draw a square around yourself. Declare it a
liberated zone. Kill anyone who enters.
     Who the hell is Peter Kvitek??? The self-proclaimed hacker said
November 17th, in a SF Examiner article "the speed with which software is
stolen in the Soviet Union is incredible!" Relax, dood. First off, it's no
worse or faster than in Germany, Italy or here in the US. Who is this guy??
Unless someone gets me a handle, a project, or a campaign, I'll just say the
guy's a wannabe. Probably a code elite/cool warez" kinda dood.
    Everyone's a hacker these days. Right. When's the last time YOU trashed a
TRW building? I'll bet there are just as many "hackers" today as there are
people who supposedly "were there" at Woodstock!!!
    The average person's skull can be depressed by 10% before cracking-LM
Boyd.
    Soldiers of the Kiori tribe in New Guinea salute their superior officers
by lightly chucking them under the chin. Do that to your favorite Lieutenant
Col. Don't foget to say, "hey guy, how's it goin?"
    Mooses are the largest North American member sof the deer family. Their
average height is 6 feet, quite like us, but they weigh in at 1200-1800
pounds. Even Rosanne and Oprah together don't weigh that much. Besides,
moose don't whine.
    Delbert Yates, 16, of Valparaiso, IN has been in court for 6 years with
the Chicago Cubs. They just paid him $67,500 as an apology for hitting him
in the head with a foul ball. Come on, kid. That's the chance you gotta
take. If I sued for all 3 windshields I'd lost behind the dugout, I'd
probably stay in court until my 103rd birthday. You're a jerk, Yates. I
suggest you've brought more shame to the game of baseball than Pete Rose,
Pete Rose, and Pete Rose all combined.
    Are you a Yappy, or just Happy? YAP- Yipsters Against Paying.
    HAPPY- Hipsters Against Paying Phor Yuppiedom.
    I sure wish payphone directories would have more empty spaces, or at
least more blank pages.
    Salvador's getting pretty hairy. I asked a phriend of mine (can't give
his name for life or death purposes) who really knows a lot about our
mission down there how much is Castro and how mush is us; and guess what
he said? 80-20 us.
    Feedback: I really like the Skinhead Hamlet in ATI45.
    On car insurance: You notice the rates go up every time they see a new
risk, but when a risk is alleviated (IE: drunk driving) rates don't go
down? They just stay the same.
     As your editor-at-large, I firmly announce that it's earth day, earth
decade, earth millenium. In corrolary
to having been asked "what'r u doin 4 earth day?" I have to ask - WHAT ARE
YOU DOING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
     University of Colorado won best college for the environment, an MTV
award.  If you missed it, you missed me.  You also missed Paul Newman, and
also Mytch Snyder, along with a bunch of people doing 30 second spots on what
they're doing for the environment.  For those of you who missed me, here's
a transcript: (I didn't jot down what the starz said, sorry) "I do a lot of
biking, and try to hike or walk whenever I can instead of driving."
     Ian McCulloch split for E & the B-Men. And I think he sucks alone.

     There is only one Spaceship Earth, and there is no spare. We are the
crew.  Let's all join together in sharing these symbols to help promote
positive global awareness and to celebrate our essential unity. (OK, the flag
is $49, but everythung else is still cheap. There are 2 smaller sizes in you
can't swing a $50 (only YUPPIES can swing that much these days! -GZ). But
waving that flag is cool. And anyone who'd burn THAT one's a fool.)
     While wwearing Birkenstocks, if people ask ya "how're ya doing?", tell
em, "Great!"
     THIS JUST IN FROM SPY MAGAZINE - "The US Army is proud by definition,
so it's easy for them to come right out and admit it when they break into a
Panamanian dictator's home and seize his Mexican food. At least that's what
one American on the scene thought the 50 pounds of a suspicious powdery
substance at Manny's residence looked like - tamale filling.  But there were
other opinions.  "We were sure it was coccaine", insisted the colonel whose
troops made the cache.  "It was not coccaine", a Pentagon spokesman said a
month later.  Turns out it was not tamales, but close. The army confiscated
farina, cornmeal, and lard, wrapped in banana leaves. Loss of military face?
No way. Too proud.
     Call Kurt Vonnegut (Wash. DC area) and ask him where you could buy a
bearskin coat like he's got. Really cool lookin. So 40's.

     WHY I'M SEMIVEGETARIAN, by Prime.
     A, I don't like imposing on people;
     B, I'm a sucker for chili, and,
     C, oftentimes I'd starve if I went without meat.
     If you're eating over someone's house (I do a lot), you eat what's on
the table.  You're an ass for refusing, or demanding.  Plus sometimes menus
don't come right out and say there's meat in a particular dish.  And for
time benefits, I eat and shut up instead of saying "Uh, waitress..."
     Yeah, I'm partial to chili with more beans and less meat, but I'll eat
just about any chili thrown at me.  As long as it's hot.  Hot to temperature
as well as hot to the taste buds.  Oh, I also prefer homemade (hint, hint)
to Hormel (hormel is a capitalist pig co. !!! - GZ)
     Sometimes you just don't have much choice.  When veggies aren't around,
salad is wilted, or meat and potatoes is the only bit offered, you do what
you must.  The commune I live at doesn't make it too easy either.  The
foodage is extremely starchy, and chock full of red meat.  But I get by.  I
usually lean towards fish meals, and for druthers take chicken or turkey
first; but sometimes break down and grab a tenderloin or a shoeleather-
cheeseburger.
     I never worry as I go to fast-food chains.  A full-fledged vegg could
easily survive a Big Mac or Whopper. There's really no beef to speak of
there.
