Right church, wrong pew. Try again! George

"Military secrets are the most fleeting of all. I hope that you and I exchanged something more permanent." "What is your present form of execution?" George

Well, I heard it on C&W stations, if that helps. George

I didn't forget. I didn't watch "Growing Pains." George

No. George

She's waitin' by the window When he pulls into the drive She rushes out to hold him Thankful he's alive Every light is burnin' In a house across town She's pacin' by the telephone In her faded flannel gown George

You got it, Kit! Your turn! George

Tom has one of the words correct. George

"What is your present form of execution?" George

Can't think of a show with characters named Mike, Stinky, and Vito. (Of course, I've never seen The Sopranos!) George

Suda? George

Not obscure enough. "Eraserhead." George

OK. My last guess without another clue: the one where Data makes audio contact with a little girl and decides he needs to save her from a planetary catastrophe. George

Thanks. I can sleep more easily, now. George

Is it the one where Worf's step-brother tries to help a colony of people whose planet is dying? (If not, I have one other guess.) George

Well, at least I know what the movie is, now that it's "Gone." I still don't know Sushi's singer(s). George

Dooj is right. George

Probably time for another clue. Sounds vaguely familiar, but then ALL sitcoms sound vaguely familiar! George

Actually, Pam, if I was correct in my guess (and it turns out that I was), then it's my turn to give a clue. Since you're new here, I'll let it slip, and even cede my turn to you. Your quote sounds like a Next Generation episode. I'll guess "First Contact." George

Dooj, Dooj, Dooj.... "A Chorus Line"? George

Chas, I also appreciate your husband's stand. Whereas it is not essential that everyone be able to grasp non-Euclidian geometry or multi-variable calculus, a comprehension of mathematical rigor is essential to the development of logical thinking. When I taught college chemistry twenty-five years ago, the biggest problem I saw was the inability of students to solve problems, not necessarily because they didn't understand logarithms or vectors (though this contributed to the problem), but more because they couldn't logically attack a problem. Another semester of geometric proofs in high school would have helped, I bet. If I'm not mistaken, it was a popular TV talk show host(ess) who declared a few years ago that students shouldn't have to learn arithmetic because cheap calculators are available. What good is a calculator if one doesn't understand the fundamental concepts of mathematics? If one doesn't understand addition, why would he even know to hit the "+" button (unless, of course, the only question he ever gets is of the form "How much is 213 + 599?")? How would he handle "If you have 213 jelly beans, and I give you 599, how many would you have?" Of course, grammatical rigor has been abandoned, as well; don't get me started on that! George
