television tube thing. I figured that late movies would begreat.so did the three guys who called in, the one person

who sent in the column, and the two guys who told me personal-ly that they were night owls. Needless to say, we won't behaving any additional movies. Six yea votes is hardly a cross-section of the Guantanamo Bay community. The next person ask-
