I apologise on behalf of McEvoy and Atlas if they offended you.

I hope it does not mean that you are unsubscribing or anything. I'd forever
miss your posts.

Yes, McEvoy should have realised it's from Farenheit.

What a beautiful novel. I read it in high-school. My professor (who also
taught at college)
used it as essay topic for consideration of 'science-fiction'.
I never liked Truffaut's version with Julie Christie, though. In fact I
never saw it!
I enjoyed Bradbury's depiction, in the latter part of the novel, of the
'illiterates' who can
recite Plato, and all the rest of them. Very funny.
Hardly 'science-fiction', I would say.

And I think R. Paul is wrong in saying you _can_ say,

"Smile!"

One idiom that came to mind:

"Smile, for God loves you". If he loves me he'll love me even if I don't
smile.

I would distinguish between 'smile' and 'laugh' (I hope this is not
time-wasting for you, Eric).

If any of those _means_ "express joy"

Then "Smile!" would be tantamous to "Express joy"

which, in my vernacular, is sincere only if you _feel_ joy or are 'joyed'.
(People do say, "I'm overjoyed", so I guess they can say, "I'm joyed too")

Yesterday I went to see Gwyneth Paltrow in Twolovers. Liked the setting of
it. It's set in Brooklyn (forget tha name of the subway station they take).
She goes to Met Opera once. There are some mentions of NY locale but missed
them.
She spends one night in one of those 'dangerous' clubs.

But on the whole the film is nothing to write home about. Apparently Paltrow
was in NYC last week for the premiere.

Cheers,
