Some controversies never die; just look how long we've been treated to one
JFK assassination theory after another. Nevertheless, as I searched the
nooks and crannies of GEnie this month, I found an interesting paper that
presents a compelling hypothesis based on the legal rules of evidence about
events that led to the death of a president. A more recent controversy --
which has also heralded cries of "Cover up!" -- surround events last year in
Waco, Texas. This month's NetSearch brings you an interesting viewpoint from
someone close to the scene who is not aligned with either "side" of that
issue.
I also found nice strawberry recipes, a report from the president on
national economics, information about lowering cholesterol, the complete
1994 Major League Baseball schedule, resume writing tips, REAL Brothers
Grimm stories, and yet more gems from all over GEnie. Since those of us with
modems rely on written words for communication, Science Fiction author Damon
Knight's no-nonsense rules for proper grammar is an especially pertinent
find.
Don't miss any of these files -- they're all keepers! And be sure to grab my
Aladdin Go-Fer Script for April to make downloading them quick and easy.
It's available in LiveWire and Aladdin Libraries.
Controversy: JFK Assassination Theory Documented ....................... PF
ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ Page 545
Imagine for a moment that you have access to unpublished documents,
affidavits, testimony, and all the hushed-up research associated with the
assassination of President Kennedy. Would you draw the same conclusion this
trial lawyer did in his thoroughly referenced paper? You won't see this on
the news or in government reports, but it will make you wonder why not.
Published under a pseudonym, even the author knows it STILL isn't time to
put his real name on this incisive piece of investigative analysis.
Based largely on the work of two agents, one from the Customs Department
and the other from the Narcotics Bureau, this paper takes up where Jim
Garrison's story in "JFK" left off.

A Year Later: Koresh and Waco -- Who was Wrong? ...................... WEST
ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ Page 1065
The Branch Davidians were indelibly etched into American history last April
as, on live television, many of us watched first the ATF and then the FBI
surround and finally destroy a building complex they occupied just outside
of Waco, Texas. You've heard speculations, and you may even have seen an
"alternative" video tape on the news. Certainly there is controversy; and
as so often happens when government and media get involved, we're only told
what someone wants us to know.
Open your modem to theological scholars who volunteered to help at Waco as
one describes what they did, saw, and how they experienced this volatile
situation. While not directly involved with what transpired, Dr. Tablor and
his friend are renowned scholars from a more traditional school of theology.
They recognized what the FBI didn't, and stepped forward to help and offer
understanding -- even though they disagreed with David Koresh's beliefs.
I'll let you read this stirring, documented account and then decide who was
wrong in Waco.

Rechargables: Help with NiCAD Battery Problems ......................... CE

In a radio interview with Battery Works engineers Don Brown and Hap Holly,
the RAIN program answered many nagging questions about batteries. Why are
NiCADs better than alkalines -- or are they? How can you get the most out
of rechargable batteries? This interesting interview persuaded me try
NiCADs again.

Quick Reference: Grammar The Easy Way by Author Damon Knight ........ SFRT1
ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ Page 470
These two delightful files debunk many mysteries surrounding grammar usage
in English. Writing properly isn't hard, and some things you THOUGHT your
high school teacher said just aren't so.
Do you practrically panic writing a sentence with 'lay' in it? Are there
times you'll use ANY other word rather than try to figure out whether you
should use 'lay' or 'lie'? How often have you looked at a complicated
sentence and tried to puzzle out whether the verb should be plural or
singular? Did you know there's a quick test you can use to determine when
to use 'which' or 'that'?
Damon Knight, noted Science Fiction writer and member of the Science
Fiction RoundTable, has uploaded two small files of solutions and tests for
these common errors and others. I recommend these easy-to-understand files
to anyone who writes letters, memos, faxes, messages or papers. Students
will find them of particular value. Print them and put them inside your
dictionary or some other handy place, and keep them ready for reference.
Thank you, Mr. Knight!

with some amazing IBM-compatible examples) are waiting for you to download.
