RL>NOWHERE MAN FANS:
RL>----------------------------------------------------------------
RL>Now, what I'd like to know is more about the story line to date.
RL>1. Who is this group which seems to want to use any method to get at
RL> Tom's film and his diary?
We don't know. Tom doesn't know. It certainly has people _within_ the
government, in key positions, but it's not clear that it _is_ the
government. I'd say probably not, but we don't have conclusive evidence
either way.
RL>2. Am I correct in concluding that, at one time, Tom Veil was placed in
RL> an insane asylum by this group in an effort to coerce him into
RL> cooperating?
Yes, first episode. He escaped.
RL>3. Is there anything else in Tom's set of negative that the "group"
RL> seems to want to get from him?
It seems to be that particular negative, but obviously Tom is keeping
safe the entire set of negatives of pictures he took at that time.
RL>4. What role, if any has his wife played in this conspiracy. I.E. do
RL> you get the impression she is some innocent victim too or is she
RL> part of the process of "taking out" Tom Veil?
Again, we don't know for sure. There's evidence that points both ways.
RL>5. At any point in the series, has there appeared ANYONE who is playing
RL> an on-going supporter for Tom? If there has not, he really IS up to
RL> his a** in "alligators!"
There is a private investigator that he has hired to track down some
information for him, whom he checks in with [by phone] every few
episodes. The P.I. doesn't know the whole story - Tom's not taking any
more chances than he has to. And other than that, no, there's no one
who's on Tom's side on an ongoing basis.
Aside from anything else, he doesn't want to place anyone else in
danger.

DL> Poe re-invented the short story. He may have never have written any
DL> Science Fiction (I'm not sure. Been a strange X-mas break.), but he
DL> did do some fine horror-fantasy pieces.
He did write some sf, some fairly hard sf for its time, too, attempting
to justify everything on the basis of proven or suspected scientific
fact. In addition, he did, as you mention, horror-fantasy, and fantasy
and what might best be classed as "science fantasy".

Should I be able to find the Rubber mask paint in the same place I buy my
stage makeup?
Can/should this be used over latex appliances as well as store bought
pre-fabricated headpieces?

I never questioned his qualifications as a security officer. In fact,
in light of your statements, he seems over-qualified. I meant to say
that he would be better qualified for something more cerebral. Perhaps
as chief engineer, science officer or even nav/pilot. Frankly, I'd love
to have someone with such good reflexes and such a calm mind in charge of
keeping the ship in one piece. But, if that's what he wants, then let
him be a Security Chief.

Criminal investigations are a field where command of emotions is just as
important as command of logic. How do you logiaclly reason out how to
deal with a psycho dropping random bombs at random locations? (for instance)
Oftimes, a gut feeling is all an investigator has to go on. Can Mr. Vulcan,
find a substitute for human instinct? If so, then more's the better.
MJ> And, of course, there's the fact that being a logical Vulcan doesn't
MJ> mean you can't be as cunning and deadly as the next guy.
MJ> Just because you're a logical Vulcan, you don't *have* to be a
MJ> pacifist.
I never questioned that. In fact, a Vulcan is not hampered by all those
nasty human emotions which keep us from killing everyone who truly
deserves it. A logical, cold-blooded killing machine, Tuvok could be.
Quick, someone get an X-ray. He might have an exoskeleton.

Agreed and seconded. To bring the subject back on topic, Heinlein makes
the same point in a story where a woman becomes president. (My
apologies, the name of the short escapes me.) As an addendum, "JW",
look up the number of people suffering from smog in LA right now, or the
death toll of "yellow fog" (caused by the coal burning plants) in
Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. Power comes at a cost, and
although SF can apprise us of POTENTIAL costs, it IS occasionally
inaccurate. To reference Heinlein again, albeit years earlier, point JW
towards _Blowups Happen_. I'm a proponent of nuclear power; it's hard
to envisage a future where there isn't nuclear power, and the way to get
to SAFE nuclear power is to work our way through the pitfalls of unsafe
nuclear power.
(This message brought to you from a coal burning town 60 miles from the
Kingdom of Callaway, home of the country's best nuclear power plant.)
