THE END
############################################################
The exciting results of Rachel's Survey! I had 12 responses. Many of the results are surprising (if unscientific). Only 4 people admitted to owning cats--but they have 11 cats between them. Only three people owned dogs. 5 people said they lived at home. 8 people did not live with any other fen! 6 live alone, 4 with someone(s) else, and 2 were married. Everyone was above poverty level. 8 people had graduated college and 3 of them, grad school. 8 people want a boy/girlfriend-one person doesn't-2 are married-2 said maybe. No one wants the meaning of life--but EVERYONE had an opinion about it! The most common opinion was "42." Only 1 person had 1 job for the last 5 years. Most respondents had 3 or more. Most respondents lived in VA and went to all the meetings. There was a distinct trend for MD people to only go to Maryland meetings. 8 boys and 4 girls.
For the longer questions, the most common 5 things to take to colonize a new planet besides the basic survival stuff: Computers and computer stuff; Huge library all on CD-ROM or microfilm; music equipment or musical instruments; candy/junk food; paper, pens, and stuff for drawing and writing the old-fashioned way. The unity of response surprised me!
A few unusual items were:
All the cat people said they'd bring their cats.
There were too many interesting 1st novels and 3 fav's to list but you can look through the survey forms if you want.
As for communicating with aliens almost everyone said carefully. The most original response was "offer M&M's." The answer that seemed most logical was if an alien appeared here, it would probably have figured out a way to communicate with us ahead of time.

The Un-program: Any con member may bring up to four 6 - 12 year olds to participate in the Activities Area in the Con Suite.
>>IF, I repeat IF, we find someone to prerecord the Belmont $500k Metro Mile &/or $l,000k Jersey Derby off ESPN and bring it to the Con Monday, Jack/Jay Haldeman and Mike Resnick will do a "play by play from two funny views" deal on it during the "dead dog" (Monday). IF done, the time will be posted in the Activities Area. This will be in Room 125 Cabana area if it occurs.
>>Linda Melnick is "on call" as a sign language interpreter.
>>The Masqued Dance is a long story. About 4 hours. We ask people come in one of three type costumes: Recreation of Resnick or Sucharitkul Works, General SF&F, or Prom Clothes. Bobby & Marty Gear and Michael Walsh will judge the general sf&f. Michael & Carol Resnick & Carol and Somtow will judge their category. Susan Cohen, Erica VanDommelen, and Roger MacBride Allen will be the three chief prommies (judges). Anyone not wearing a costume will be declared in costume anyway; for instance Rikk Jacobs will be declared a 1970s pirate radio station operator and various others as lowlife '50s prom crashers. The Disk Jockeys are Marty Gear, Rikk Jacobs, and Curt Harpold. Between the three of them, expect a variety of music, AND even a few audience requests.
The only other items that need explanation beyond their titles are:
>>"SILS" in Room A, 6:30 Fri, are Society of
Interactive Literature members or live role playing gamers.
>>"Magic to explain Tech things", 5pm Sun, Room A, was the one item we couldn't convey at all with the title. The statement has been made on FidoNet that the reverse of a common saying is also true or at least could be true in a story: "A sufficiently advanced magical system is indistinguishable from Technology." Therefore a group of writers, so inclined, could explain apparently technological things via fancy magic. This is the time to do so.
>>"Marriage due to Conventions/Fandom", 5pm Sun, Room B, has only the one couple on it because there were/are SO MANY already in the program who could be on this. Others can chime in from the audience. We probably should rearrange the chairs in this room into a big circle about the head table just before "If I Ran the Zoo."

From our vantage point amid the peace and enlightenment of the 23rd Century, it seems impossible to imagine the passions stirred by the 20th Century debate over abortion.
Hundreds died in rioting. Thousands marched in protest. Millions voted their convictions, electing and rejecting politicians with lightning speed. And billions of pre-sentient dollars were spent on sloganeering, posturing and, occasionally, research. A second civil war threatened.
As usual, in the end, science trumped the politicians. Fetal transplantation proved a compromise morally acceptable to "Lifers" and "Chosen" alike. Both sides joined in tumultuously hailing Dr. Francis Anna Stein, the inventor of the technique, and Senator Y. A. Dukt, whose name was inevitably linked with the landmark legislation authorizing funds for a comprehensive Federal Fetal Transplantation Program.
It is no wonder, then, that joy turned to national rage overnight when the Supreme Court pronounced the Dukt Bill unconstitutional by a vote of 5-4. All of the averted tensions resurfaced, directed against the Court in an outpouring of fury unseen since the firey days of the First Trump Divorce. President Quayle was forced to mobilize the Army, the National Guard and selected Marine units to restore order to the nation's capital.
Threats to the Court came from all quarters. The most serious came an aroused Congress which threatened to impeach the "Nine Old Fools" and write the laws to suit themselves.
It is indeed fortunate that we have the eyewitness testimony of time traveler Dick Da Xing as to the actual events that followed when the revised Dukt-Tape Bill went to the Court for a new hearing.
Dick, disguised as H. L. Mencken, Jr., ace reporter for The Washington Moon, scooped his fellows by use of 23rd Century technology. While other reporters were still fighting their way out of the Court's temporary home in the Jos. Mayhew Library Building, Dick teleported across the seething city to file his story on the Court's decision.
Moon editor James Oh Sen thundered, "Mencken! Great story! But we need a headline! Condense your 5000 word story on the Court's decision and the constitutional implications into ten words or less!"
Dick answered proverbially, "A switch in time saves the Nine."
