Or am I misremembering?> No, it's on the Blakes Back tapes and the Inside Story. GT ended up with the batwing jacket in goose-turd green (the proper name, truly, according to him!!) instead. But of course, when Playing the Game <g> these people don't come into it. It is interesting, watching the upsurge of sartorial exuberence in late S1-S2 after the plainness of the early, Earth fashions; as Bercol and Rontane, government high-flyers, also dress very plainly, I'm inclined to think that plain, unadorned fashion is the norm there (and possibly in the Inner Worlds) for all grades, differences being in quality of material and finish, perhaps. Once we get off Earth, it all starts to get more flamboyant (the Amagons, Sarkoff and Tyce, etc). _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Whereas Avon fans tend to treasure the ambiguity. THAT IS A LIE. IT'S FREEDOM CITY AND LYSATOR'S JOB TO WHITEWASH AVON. LYSATOR IS A RECRUITING GROUND FOR FREEDOM CITY.

>>the "I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going" line. I got to use that one years ago, when I was "volunteered" to help with the radiation examinations on the Three Mile Island waste trains passing through the area. (It didn't help. Stupid and expendable or not, I had to go.) <g> Carolyn
