CASSETTES TO CDs?
Jeff West: “Now that you've made me an
expert on using iTunes to ‘rip’ and ‘burn’ CDs, any
ideas on how I can copy my cassettes to CDs?”
F Not a clue.
But I’ll bet if there’s a way, one of our terrific readers will
enlighten us.

WATCH WHAT YOU SAY
You
will recall the
gentleman our government is prosecuting for holding up a NO WAR FOR OIL sign in
a “no-protest zone.” In a similar vein,
there’s this action
against Greenpeace.
WATCH WHAT YOU BREATHE
Excerpted from Anchorage Daily News, November
26, 2003:
HOMER, AK -- A local
businessman who had just finished testifying against a proposed smokefree ordinance collapsed with a heart attack in
the council chambers and could not be revived.
Robert Keys, a former
smoker, told a packed city council meeting that he sat at a table of smokers
every morning for coffee and conversation at a local restaurant without
trouble. "It hasn't bothered my health any," Keys
testified. . . . Keys returned to his seat in the council chambers. Less
than five minutes later, gasping noises from Keys interrupted further
testimony. . . . Attempts to resuscitate [him] en route to the hospital
were unsuccessful.
"It's a shocking,
horrible tragedy," said Annette Marley, who attended Monday's meeting for
the Homer Alliance
for Fresh Air. "We can't make a causal relationship between his being
around smokers and his death, but we know you have a 30 percent higher risk of
dying of chronic heart disease if you're a nonsmoker exposed to smoke in the
workplace."

fraud I had hoped you would write. Can you point readers to his column?”
