    I'm looking for a fairly comprehensive log of Shadow shows.  All I could
    find in an internet search was the Orson Welles shows.  Any links anyone can
    direct me to?  Thanks.

    Subject:  Morse book

    So, okay, those of you who are of a betting turn of mind, did you have a
    bet with yourselves or others as to who would write first and ask who had
    the most complete set of Morse shows on MP3?  I am pretty sure the record
    is mine, because I have wondered for a long time where to buy the
    definitive collection of all Morse stuff on MP3.  I know he also wrote
    novels, which is outside the scope of this list, but does anybody have
    access to as much Morse stuff as possible in audio and who gets the prize
    for the most material.  I am sure a lot of people would like to know.
    Thank you in advance for whatever information you can provide.  Kurt

    And - how about George's "Say Goodnight, Gracie".  (I still hear that once
    in a while and am always surprised).  And - Jack's "[removed]". (we hear
    this on a daily basis).  Then there's Jimmy Durante's "Goodnight, Mrs.
    Calabash, wherever you are." (I think I have that right).   Then there's an
    expression that "Flo" used on TV ("When pigs fly")  that rings a bell - it
    seems that that one came from somewhere in the past.  Whether it was from
    radio, I don't remember (but then my rememberer doesn't work as well as it
    used to).

    Subject:  Re: New "I LOVE A MYSTERY" book

    Wow! That's great news about Martin's new ILAM book. From hints that had
    been dropped along the way, I had the suspicion that such a project was in
    the works. But how exciting to learn that it has finally come to fruition!

    As one of the first people to do serious ILAM research (via my 8-issue
    fanzine "THE THING WOULDN'T DIE" circa 1980), I had always hoped that
    someone would do a proper job on the history of the program. I had outlined
    a prospective book myself, but with all my other projects (and little
    intrusions like two jobs and three kids!), I'm afraid it never got beyond
    back-burner status.

    Hopefully, at some point, Martin will write something about the process of
    putting it all together, which I suspect will be an interesting account in
    and of itself.

    And, speaking of Martin, don't forget his "INNER SANCTUM" book which was
    published earlier this year. For anyone with any kind of interest in this
    program, the book is a must-have!

    Subject:  Lesley Woods

    The Aug. 21 edition of the Los Angeles Times had an announcement for a
    memorial for Lesley Woods. It was one of those small print items in the paid
    obituaries. It didn't give a date of death:

    Lesley Woods (1912-2003)

    Lesley Woods, an actor, age 90. A long-time member and supporter of Theatre
    West, last appearing in "Tom Tom On A Rooftop" with Betty Garrett and Philip
    Abbott. Ms. Woods donated the marquee that currently adorns the theatre. Her
    Broadway career included "A Case Of Libel" where she met her husband, the
    late Richard McMurray. She was a series regular or continuing character in
    an astonishing number of shows, including "Young Dr. Malone," "A Flame In
    The Wind," "The Edge Of Night," "The Nurses" , "Search For Tomorrow,"
    "Bright Promise," "Return To Peyton Place," "General Hospital," "Days Of Our
    Lives," "Dear Detective," "Dallas," "Falcon Crest," "All My Children," and
    "The Bold And The Beautiful." She is survived by a stepson, actor Sam
    McMurray. A memorial ceremony will be held for Ms. Woods at Theatre West on
    Thursday, August 21 at 7:30 [removed] The theatre is located at 3333 Cahuenga
    Blvd., between Citywalk and the Hollywood Bowl. Free parking is available
    across the street at 3400 Cahuenga.

    Who's on [removed]

    ABBOTT: Ultimate SuperDuper Computer Store. Can I help you?

    COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up a home office in the den, and I'm thinking
    of buying a computer.

    ABBOTT: Mac?

    COSTELLO: No, the name is Lou.

    ABBOTT: Your computer?

    COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

    ABBOTT: Mac?

    COSTELLO: I told you, my name is Lou.

    ABBOTT: What about Windows?

    COSTELLO: Why? Does it get stuffy?

    ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

    COSTELLO: I don't know. What do I see when I look out the windows?

    ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

    COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

    ABBOTT: Software that runs on Windows?

    COSTELLO: No, on the computer! I need something I can use to write
    proposals, track expenses. You know, run a business. What have you got?

    ABBOTT: Office.

    COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

    ABBOTT: I just did.

    COSTELLO: You just did what?

    ABBOTT: Recommended something.

    COSTELLO: You recommended something?

    ABBOTT: Yes.

    COSTELLO: For my office?

    ABBOTT: Yes.

    COSTELLO: Okay, what did you recommend for my office?

    ABBOTT: Office.

    COSTELLO: Yes, for my office.

    ABBOTT: Office for Windows.

    COSTELLO: I already have an office and it already has windows! Let's say I'm
    sitting at my computer, and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?

    ABBOTT: Word.

    COSTELLO: If I'm writing a proposal, I'm going to need lots of words. But
    what program do I load?

    ABBOTT: Word.

    COSTELLO: What word?

    ABBOTT: The Word in Office.

    COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

    ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

    COSTELLO: Which word in "office for windows?"

    ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue W.

    COSTELLO: I'm going to click your big W if you don't give me a straight
    answer.  Let's forget about words for a minute. What do I need if I  want to
    watch a movie over the Internet?

    ABBOTT: RealOne.

    COSTELLO: Maybe a real movie, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your
    business. But what do I need to watch it?

    ABBOTT: RealOne.

    COSTELLO: If it's a long movie I'll also want to watch reels two, three and
    four.  Can I watch reel four?

    ABBOTT: Of course.

    COSTELLO: Great! With what?

    ABBOTT: RealOne.

    COSTELLO: Okay, so I'm sitting at my computer and I want to watch a movie.
    What do I do?

    ABBOTT: You click the blue 1.

    COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?

    ABBOTT: The blue 1.

    COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue W?

    ABBOTT: Of course it is. The blue 1 is RealOne. The blue W is Word.

    COSTELLO: What word?

    ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

    COSTELLO: But there's three words in "office for windows!"

    ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in the world.

    COSTELLO: It is?

    ABBOTT: Yes, although to be fair there aren't many other Words left. It
    pretty much wiped out all the other Words.

    COSTELLO: And that word is the real one?

    ABBOTT: No. RealOne has nothing to do with Word. RealOne isn't even part of
    Office.

    COSTELLO: Never mind; I don't want to get started with that again. But I
    also need something for bank accounts, loans, and so on. What do you have to
    help me track my money?

    ABBOTT: Money.

    COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

    ABBOTT: Money.

    COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

    ABBOTT: No, not really. It comes bundled with your computer.

    COSTELLO: What comes bundled with my computer?

    ABBOTT: Money.

    COSTELLO: Money comes bundled with my computer?

    ABBOTT: Exactly. No extra charge.

    COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer at no extra charge?  How
    much money do I get?

    ABBOTT: Just one copy.

    COSTELLO: I get a copy of money. Isn't that illegal?>

    ABBOTT: No. We have a license from Microsoft to make copies of Money.

    COSTELLO: Microsoft can license you to make money?

    ABBOTT: Why not? They own it.

    COSTELLO: Well, it's great that I'm going to get free money, but I'll still
    need to track it. Do you have anything for managing your money?

    ABBOTT: Managing Your Money? That program disappeared years ago.

    COSTELLO: Well, what do you sell in its place?

    ABBOTT: Money.

    COSTELLO: You sell money?

    ABBOTT: Of course. But if you buy a computer from us, you get it for free.

    COSTELLO: That's all very wonderful, but I'll be running a business. Do you
    have any software for, you know, accounting?

    ABBOTT: Simply Accounting.

    COSTELLO: Probably, but it might get a little complicated.

    ABBOTT: If you don't want Simply Accounting, you might try [removed]

    COSTELLO: [removed] What does that stand for?

    ABBOTT: Mind Your Own Business.

    COSTELLO: I beg your pardon?

    ABBOTT: No, that would be [removed] I said [removed]

    COSTELLO: Look, I just need to do some accounting for my home business. You
    now--accounting? You do it with money.

    ABBOTT: Of course you can do accounting with Money. But you may need more.

    COSTELLO: More money?

    ABBOTT: More than Money. Money can't do everything.

    COSTELLO: I don't need a sermon! Okay, let's forget about money for the
    moment. I'm worried that my computer [removed]'s the word?  Crash. And if
    my computer crashes, what can I use to restore my data?

    ABBOTT: GoBack.

    COSTELLO: Okay. I'm worried about my computer smashing and I need something
    to restore my data. What do you recommend?

    ABBOTT: GoBack.

    COSTELLO: How many times do I have to repeat myself?

    ABBOTT: I've never asked you to repeat yourself. All I said was GoBack.

    COSTELLO: How can I go back if I haven't even been anywhere? Okay, I'll go
    back.  What do I need to write a proposal?

    ABBOTT: Word.

    COSTELLO: But I'll need lots of words to write a proposal.

    ABBOTT: No, you only need one Word-the Word in Office for Windows.

    COSTELLO: But there's three words [removed], never mind.

    ABBOTT: Hello? Hello? Customers! Why do they always hang up on me? Oh, well.

    Yes, Kathy, they are factual stories. The series is a great way to get
    introduced to some of the more unusual crimes through the centuries. My
    favorite is still "If a Body needs a Body, call Burke & Hare". The
    narrator, Mr. Merrill is absolutely hysterical in the pun department.
    Almost all the episodes are available (the Passage Log shows most of who
    has what, Radio Spirits has most of them in two sets as well).

    I would comment that a fine addition to listening to the programs is to
    obtain copies of the scripts to them from the SPERDVAC script library. They
    have all 52 (I believe - I'm not at home to check). Enjoy.
