HOW THE ROTATING SYMBOLS OF DOOM GOT THEIR NAMES,
AND WHY THEY TEND TO STAY AWAY FROM HOTELS
{From system: the rest of this .plan file was cut & pasted into
/mit/nosaj/writings/?/cymbal01.tex by a particularly nasty emacs macro.}
{okay, so it was just a bit longer than 10,000 bytes and it wasn't
going to get into Central America. phooey.}

Plan? What plan?
------ Athena hacks for April 1, 1993 ------
Two hacks, one visible (and IMHO neat) and one much less visible.
Hack #1: Changed the names in w20-575 (Student Center public cluster)
from the old w20-575-xxx to w20-<element name> Also, for cases where
elements didn't exist, they substituted other names "dilithium", etc...
Hack #2: Changed the `today` command (in the watchmaker locker) to return
a silly version of the information, as in:
Today is Thursday, the first day of April, nineteen ninety-three. The
big hand is on the twelve and the little hand is on the one. The Moon is
Waxing Gibbous (66% of Full).
------ Phi Delta Theta Social Events for the upcoming weeks ------
Mon April 5: 5:30PM Faculty Dinner (Cocktails @ 5:30, Dinner @ 6PM) (i)
Come have dinner and drinks with Chuck Vest...
Wed April 7: 9:30PM Wed Social (This week is Sushi!!! (Yum!))
Sat April 10: 7:00PM Sat Movie Night (Closed event; (you are invited))
(i) indicates that the event is (roughly) closed and invitations are available.
Other events are "open" to all friends of the house and guests
Any questions, don't call me, call the house number (247-8691) and ask for
Pat Baker or Zack Johnson... Thanks... ---Jim Sokoloff

A spokesman for Consolidated Freightways, Inc., of San Francisco, told
the Wall Street Journal that capital spending in the trucking
industry "tends to fluctuate widely because much of our spending is very
deferrable and quickly crank-upable."

therese (Therese):
Despair is the absolute extreme of self-love. it is reached when
a man deliberately turns his back on all help from anyone else
in order to taste the rotten luxury of knowing himself to be lost.
...But a man who is truly humble cannot despair, because in the humble
man there is no longer any such thing as self-pity.
- Thomas Merton
