    I finally figured out how another country can invade the U.S.
    I'll start first with Russia because I saw a videotape
    (named below) that gave me these ideas.

    What America should do is license the technology from Russia
    for their CIRCUS BUILDINGS.  Then we could have a Russian Disneyland
    in the United States.  The Russian Circus Building would be
    Russia's Invasion Headquarters inside America just as Disneyland
    is America's Invasion Headquarters inside overseas countries.
    It's also a place that Russian tourists could go and stay
    if they were traveling with their KIDS.  This way their kids
    will feel at home even though they are in a strange new land.
    CIRCUS BUILDING you say???  Are you nuts?

    Well if you see the video you'll see that the Circus in Russia
    is excellent.  And they don't have their circuses outdoors
    under the Big Top.  Instead, in Russia, they've built highly
    specialized ELEGANT buildings.  These buildings have built in
    hydraulic systems to reconfigure the building for Hockey
    and other functions & not just the circus.  A Russian circus
    building has a very sophisticated architecture.

    The Russian circus is great.  The aerialists remind me
    of Ballet because of all the special lighting tricks &
    aerial dancing that they do.

    Two places in the U.S. where Russian circus buildings could be
    built are Los Angeles and New York.   I don't know
    where a good location is in Los Angeles to build one but in
    New York I'd build it in Flushing Meadows.  That's where the
    World's Fair was in New York in 1964.

    Once Russian circus buildings are built in the U.S. then
    we'd be able to see the Russian circus troupes just as they
    appear in Russia.  We'd also be able to see visiting Chinese
    acrobatic troupes, European circus troupes, and other
    world traveling groups.  Even The BIG APPLE circus.

    I got these ideas from the videotape:

    "INSIDE THE SOVIET CIRCUS
     a National Geographic special
     produced in cooperation with WQED Pittsburgh, PA
     (March 9, 1988)

     AND yes, you'll see in the video that CLOWNS are
     held in high regard in the Russian circus business.
     Another interesting thing in the video is how the
     audience claps.  They clap in unison.

     Books related to the circus:

				Get the Picture?
		      -------------------------------------

     I saw an unusual book recently entitled:

     "Photographs for the TSAR --
      the pioneering COLOR photography of
      SERGEI MIKHAILOVICH PROKUDIN-GORSKII
      commissioned by Tsar Nicholas II"
      (the Dial Press; Garden City, New York; 1983)

      It covers COLOR photography in RUSSIA in the
      years prior to World War I (circa 1904 - 1918).
      This book doesn't have page numbers
      but inside you'll see a beautiful color photo
      of a couple "Making Hay at Volkhovo"
      that looks like a Monet painting.

      It's also amazing what you can learn about
      the past from old photographs.

      Related to this... I live in a very old building.
      It dates back to the 1890s.  And several months (years?) back
      someone (the landlord probably) threw out a very old picture
      because it was water damaged & smelled.  It was a picture
      of a building in Washington, DC that had a horse drawn
      carriage in front of it.  I took it from the trash
      and I tried a few cRaZy ideas to try to repair it but I
      ended up ruining it because I didn't know how to recover
      old photographs.  I probably should have looked in the
      telephone book or in a magazine like MACWORLD.
      
      If I had been smart I would have set it aside and waited
      until I had access to a scanner so that I could scan it into
      my computer.

      I think I'll still be able to get a copy of this photo
      though because it looked like it was a mass produced
      photograph.  It had a paper backing and not tin or zinc.
      I know that the:

      AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY
      185 Salisbury Street
      Worcester, MA 01609-1634
      (508) 755-5221

      Sells copies of OLD and Antique photographs for reasonable prices.
      They have old sheet music from the MINSTREL SHOWs and other eras
      throughout American History.  I've also heard that
      WALTER CRONKITE is a member of that society.

      The American Antiquarian Society has been written up in the New York
      Times, and it is America's OLDEST National Historical Society.

      It's close to the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, too.
      And the Worcester Art Museum.

      It's also a reasonably short drive beyond SPAGS,
      that great GENERAL store, where all the METAL HEADS go
      to buy their Fisher Metal detectors.  SPAGS is neat
      because it has a very broad range of goods.  It's neat
      and clean compared to the discount stores near me.
      SPAGS is on Route 9 in Shrewsbury, MA.  It's on the
      right hand side of Rte 9 as you head out of Boston.
      It has markings on its roof.  Going to SPAGS is like
      digging for treasure.  You never know what you're gonna
      find there.  I found 2 super sportshirts from Indonesia
      for about $10 and a 16 oz can of STRAW MUSHROOMS for 89 cents.
      They also have gardening equipment, cheeses, household goods,
      you-name-it.

      IF you're a METALHEAD who lives outside of Massachusetts
      and you want to buy a metal detector, you should write to:
      FISHER RESEARCH LABORATORY
      1005 I street,
      Los Banos, CA 93635

      Since I'm talking about INDONESIA...
      If you're thinking of traveling there
      I highly recommend the Travel Guide entitled:

      INDONESIA
      for the sophisticated traveler
      produced & edited by Eric Oey
      INSIGHT GUIDES
      (Apa Productions; Singapore; 1985)
      Has great photographs throughout.
      You can almost travel there just by reading
      the tour guide.  A real pleasure to read.
      It even covers the island of BALI that
      is famous for being the location where
      the movie SOUTH PACIFIC was filmed.
      "Some enchanted evening"... I'll get there myself, too.

      If you're wondering where I got alot of my cRaZy ideas,
      I read the Christian Science Monitor newspaper for
      ten straight years.  And I learned alot about the
      world that I never saw written in a local paper.
      Write to this address if you would like a

    Not sure how to be creative cooking chicken?

    Here's about the easiest recipe I've ever seen for
    a fancy chicken dish:

    2 lbs chicken wings (split in half)
    1 cup HALU-HALU sauce

    MARINATE the chicken wings for a few hours
    OR overnight in refrigerator.
    PLACE on a broiler pan and
    BROIL 15 minutes each side until brown,
    basting constantly with the drained off marinade.

    And VOILA!  REAL FOOD.

    I got this out of a HALU-HALU recipe pamphlet.
    HALU-HALU is an Oriental Stir-Fry Sauce & Marinade.
    They also make SARI oriental marinade.
    And SUMI the All Natural Oriental Teriyaki Barbecue Sauce.
    And MANI the All Natural Peanut Barbecue & Table Sauce.

    The address for obtaining recipe pamphlets
    is on each bottle.  OR write to:

   If you want to see a REAL circus,
   you should see the Shriner's parades whenever they are
   in town.  They're amazing.

   They have their fun for a VERY good cause.
   For they run the SHRINER's BURN INSTITUTEs in Boston
   and elsewhere with the money they make throught their
   various functions.
