I seem to recall that it was published in the 70s...next time I stop by the
house I'll check...I NEVER throw a book I like away. not really good hard
SF....I'd say the giggle factor is about 50%

And I said:
>Reference: Forest Bishops Web Page...his article on an Antartic Mass Driver
>(Orbital Catapult )

And You said;

Please, it is called "South Pole Accelerator". The reason I name my
inventions/concepts is to assist in my claim to them- the same reason
parents name their children.

Sorry...no offence...best I could remember at the time...then..as now...I had
no access to the web.

And You said:

>Roswell New Mexico
^^^^^^^^ And how's it going in the hometown?

Roswell was fine...Not my hometown...got a fair truckstop...and a middlin
bookstore...drop mucho dinero in both.

They're making a big deal about the Aliens..(alien this and alien
that....billboards, signs, bars etc.) The notiarity is making them a fair
amount of money.
