First off, READ RON'S CLOUDBUSTING!!!!! It's gotta be the best book of the decade (and I mean that!) and you can read it here first. The _objective_ way Kate is better than NKOTB is that everything she does is imbued with the classic literary themes of life and genius and society, the same images you find in Blake and Van Gogh, etc etc etc, and reading her words in these interviews really brings that home. Ron's done a terrific editing job-- I've dreaded to plow thru the raw interviews, but his sorting is a joy to experience. (Not at all to diminish Andy's huge contribution in collecting the raw material and typing most of it in! I'm inclined to call it Ron and Andy's CBusting.) Briefly, to FTP them, you connect by typing: ftp hayes.ims.alaska.edu Log in as "anonymous", and use your username as your password. To change directories, type: cd pub/love-hounds/kb/cloudbusting "dir" will get you a directory, "get" and the filename will retrieve the file. Second off, I can handle a half dozen more Kap stragglers, but that will be it. The current run will be 3 dozen, bringing the total to 8 dozen (96 love-hounds with kaps on their heads, 96 love-hounds with kaps...!). I'll need the money soon, though, so mainland US and Canadian orderers, please mail $7.50 per cap to: Jorn Barger, PO Box 81988, Chicago IL 60681-0988. These orders will be filled in the order I get the $, for the most part. Pricier-shipping sites, I'll let you know how much to send, soon.
