Ajay comments 'Cat: I know. I presumed that wasn't what he was talking about, because there are lots of translations of "From the Earth to the Moon"; also Columbiad was the Baltimore Gun Club's first big project, as far as I remember. What was the second?'
One sec... That'd be, according to Clute, From the Earth to the Moon in 97 Hours 20 Minutes, and a Trip Around It.
The novel regardibg the matter of the Baltimore Gun Club is From the Earth to the Moon. Lots of copies of it are available in both softcover and hardcover.
I was wrong. UMI has an odd search engine. Here it is.
AUTELA, D'ANGELO, D'AGOSTINO AND DI DONATO: THE ACHIEVEMENT OF FIRST AND SECOND GENERATION ITALIAN-AMERICAN WRITERS OF THE NEW YORK REGION.. BAUER, BARBARA GAE, PhD. ST. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY, 1979. 191 pp.
Re her Ph.D.
No need to go to the University where she supposedly got her Ph.D. Just log onto University Microforms. All Ph.D. dissertations are sold
by them. I just looked -- no one by that name has a disseration there.
Ok, why doesn't the DC copyright page list "Super Hero" as one of its protected terms?

* Not that I disagree with your point, but what does that figure of * 3.5*10-7 deaths per year mean? Is that a standard measure - * number of deaths per head of population? Like, if it was 1, we'd all * be dead?
It's the number of deaths per ten million folks using that drug.
There's an ethnomusicologist named Cat Eldridge in Jane Yolen's The One-Armed Queen. It was in exchange for a favor.
Patrick notes 'No, those links don't go to Emma Bull's version, more's the pity. Merry Christmas, Lenny, you excellent pain in the ass.'
According to Emma, Cats Laughing played it live, but there are no recordings of it.
If any of you haven't heard Cats Laughing, we've got an authorized MP3 of their 'For It All' song up here

ALex R. asks 'The point still stands -- how did the US get out of the habit of declaring war when it goes to war?'
Apparently when we got into the habit of military engagements authorized by Congress. Vietnam. Lebanon, Panama, Iraq I, Afrghanistan, and Iraq II were all authorized by Congress. Blame it on the War Powers Act which can only take place when the United States is under a state of emergency. No state of emergency, no ability to declare war.
Alex R comments:
Looking at these links, I'm reminded of the odd fact that December 1941 was the last time that the United States declared war. Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Iraq I, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq II...
Ok, how'd Bosnia get in here? Because of The Dayton Agreement?
Serge says: 'Good Omens? I didn't even know it was being worked on. Wouldn't surprise me that someone got cold feet, considering the subject matter.'
Actually there's a script that Neil wrote for Good Omens. I reviewed it here.
www.greenmanreview.com/book/script_gaiman_goodomens.html
It was done by Hill House for aprt of their Preferred Editions series.
Both it and Neverwhere are in development limbo, the latter at
the Hensons.
Using Whois, I looked up who owns the domain. It's a real estate agent named Dale Archdekin in Kansas. Nothing much about him on the net, but there's a lot of odd nutcases out there. We had a neo-nazi send us a review of A White Power CD.
