	Would _Stranger in a Strange Land_ be a series or mini-series?

Stranger in a Strange Land, the miniseries. NR-17, of course!

Next sweeps period, The X-Rated Notebooks of Lazarus Long.

	I asked (sarcastically) why Turner Broadcasting isn't broadcasting
20 hours of high quality science fiction and fantasy each week.  Steve Smith
said, "Or, for that matter, baseball games that don't involve the Atlanta
Braves?"  Answer:  That comes under the heading of fantasy.

	Discussion topic II:  WSFA is developing its own television network.
Assume that we have an adequate budget and the necessary copyrights.  What
programs should we produce?

	Lee Strong answers:
		Retief, Ambassador to the Stars:  A light hearted look at
galactic diplomacy in the 27th Century starring Jamie Retief, Wilber Magnan,
General Hish, and a vivid cast of human and nonhuman characters.  Any
resembalance to actual US diplomacy in the 20th and 21st Century has been
overcome by the statute of limitations.
		You Will Never Be The Same:  Cordwainer Smith's (no relation
to Steve Smith) eerie yet beautiful vision of the next 14,000 years is
brought to light with a cast of cats, true humans, underpeople, robots,
aliens, intelligences, and ghosts.  Through provoking dramas explore the
nature of life, death, and humanity.
		Galactic Patrol:  Fast paced military action starting
galactic lawbeings Kimball Kinnison, Clarissa MacDougal, Worsel, and
Tegonesse battling the starkly inconceivable evil of Boskone (the
conspiracy, not the convention).  Explore the galaxies, meet interesting
people, and kill them with your ravening blasters!
