Here are some more URL's. Thanks to everyone who contributed. RRE home page: http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/rre.html Can you send me URL's for music critics' end-of-year top-ten lists?

Pick Hit: The Reivers, Pop Beloved (which I got from an independent record store's top-ten list ten years ago) The Times of London Web site now requires registration, the "terms and conditions" for which includes the following: Except as specifically stated in these terms, you may not do any of the following without prior written permission from us: [...] set up links to either of the Internet editions except to the index page of The Times website at http://www.thetimes.co.uk or the index page of the Sunday Times website at http://www.sunday-times.co.uk, without the express written permission of the webmaster. Last point. Many people object to my use of apostrophes in words such as URL's and 1980's. I'm afraid these apostrophes are required by the RRE style manual; as such I can do nothing about them. war What Walker Knows -- And What He Faces (if Walker represents all liberals then McVeigh
