Turns out that
- August Derleth (of Cthulhu fame) tracked down Condo in his retirement, according to The Capital Times of Madison, Wisconsin on Nov 28, 1948 Page 4 - see image below.
- A Capital Times article on Wed, Jan 17, 1951 Page 12 says that Derleth planned to publish a collection of old and new comics.
- Finally, The Wisconsin Historical Archives has "4 oversize folders" of "Pen and ink drawings, 1948-1949, 1953-1954, by cartoonist A.D. (Armundo Dreisbach) Condo, featuring the character Everett True." (but... I imagine you have to actually go to Wisconsin and convince them to let you see them...)

I've been meaning to take that movie ad for "Oppenheimer" where he's standing in the middle of an explosion, and replace the movie title with "Opensneezer" and the image of the donut guy in this comic. But I never got around to it...

Yeah there's a famous story from WWI about taxis:
On the night of 7–8 September [1914] came the most storied event of the Battle of the Marne. Military Governor Gallieni in Paris reinforced the 6th army guarding Paris by shuttling soldiers to the front by rail, truck, and Renault taxis. Gallieni commandeered about six hundred taxicabs at Les Invalides in central Paris to carry soldiers to the front at Nanteuil-le-Haudouin, fifty kilometres away. Most of the taxis were demobilised on 8 September but some remained longer to carry the wounded and refugees. The taxis, following city regulations, dutifully ran their meters. The French treasury reimbursed the total fare of 70,012 francs.

His approach to adapting stories is worth thinking about. He didn't take a book/story and start carefully adapting scenes. He used them as a starting point.

Hmm.... there are a lot of references that a current CS student isn't going to get. More like an oldschool hacker (in the traditional sense of the word) whose mind is going. But I hope you don't go that route, because "it was all just a dream" is a cliche.

Oh yeah, the juveniles are great. I have a different ordering than this article author though, IMO:
First Tier:
- Red Planet
- Starman Jones
- Space Cadet
- Between Planets
Second Tier:
- The Rolling Stones
- Farmer in the Sky
- Citizen of the Galaxy
- Tunnel in the Sky
- The Star Beast
I don't remember reading these:
- Have Spacesuit Will Travel
- Rocket Ship Galileo
- Time for the Stars
Second-tier Heinlein is still better than most SF of that era. Parts of "Rolling Stones" and "Farmer in the Sky" are particularly memorable.

Kind of a clickbait headline but there are some interesting parts in the text... It's worth keeping these in mind when doing election outreach in the US.
"... I feel like we, as Latinos, are traditionally conservative.”
"traditionally conservative" is a tautology, and this statement is a bit exaggerated, but Latinos do often have strong values associated with family, religion, work, and other things that conservatives try to "own".
Paschall said that if there is racism, it comes from white liberals who tell her that, as a Latina, she should not support Trump. She describes that view as “so deep-rooted that they don’t even realise they’re being racist”.
I disagree with Paschall's assertion. However, while white liberals call Republicans "weird", those same white liberals often come across as weird to people who don't share their ideas. DISCLAIMER: I think Republicans are weird and agree with white liberals more often than not. I'm just describing some of the attitudes I see here in my battleground state, so we can communicate better during voter outreach. END DISCLAIMER
There are other factors at play. The proportion of Mexicans crossing the border to work without visas has dropped sharply in recent years with much larger numbers of people now coming from Central and South America as refugees. They sometimes face hostility from more established Latino communities, about 60% of which are of Mexican ancestry.
There's a tendency to think of Latinos as some monolithic people, but this paragraph describes one way that isn't true. Even if you only consider those with the right to vote, there's a tremendous difference between say a third-generation Cuban-American, a recent Central American naturalized citizen in Nevada, a second-generation Puerto Rican in Georgia, and a Tejano whose family has lived here for hundreds of years. Each of them have a wide variety of priorities and opinions, it's not all about immigration. And if they vote for Trump it's not just that they're brainwashed or ignorant, a lot of times they're holding their nose in the same way a lot of people on the left are holding their nose to vote for Kamala. (Not me! I think she's all right! In fact I just recently signed up to help her campaign, I hope it's not too late...)

You're right, but just to rephrase:
- The natural sciences aren't in the business of saying whether or not a given person existed.
- If you think of history as a social science, then there may be "scientific" methodologies that determine whether or not a given person existed, but that's not what's generally though of as "scientifically proven"

Maybe we should consider replication studies to be "service to the community" when judging career accomplishments. Like, maybe you never chaired a conference but you published several replication studies instead. You could get your Masters students and/or undergrads to do the replications. We'd need journals that focus on replication studies, though.

- "Fierce Fight in a Saloon"
- Boxing rumors
- A story about the rehab of a racing horse
- An ad that carefully explains to rube readers how to use the ad: "Look at this Illustration and then we doubt If you can find any good excuse for not buying your new Winter Overcoat here especially in view of the fact that we'll agree to show you lots of garments that will look just as good to you as does this one In the picture."
- A story about cooks and waiters affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World going on strike in Nevada. "Proprietors are endeavoring to run the places with Japanese help... The strikers demand a 10 hour day and recognition of the union."

I would suggest listening to the original Neil Diamond version of Red, Red Wine and the UB40 version. Basically all UB40 did was make it a more reggaeish sound and add a dub bit in the middle and they took an absolutely awful song, turned it into something new, and made it theirs.
Hey, I agree. Check out the Tony Tribe version from 1969, if you're not familiar with it. It kind of reinforces your point, because all these versions are so different.

That might work once or twice, but I suspect the rich would just launch their supplies from an island, or from a very large "Green Zone." But I'm guessing the space station would be very susceptible to sabotage or a suicide attack, or something.

[archive link](http://archive.today/bvNx4) This is to support a new book that Alex wrote, but they don't really talk about the book. They mostly talk to Alex about what it's like to grow old, various attempts at touring again, and how he's doing getting over Eddie's death. I though it was pretty moving in places.
