Perhaps we need to Eggs-Ter-Min-Ate the bad farms?

It's impressive how we think of ancient Greece as white statues, but they were painted, sometimes quite luridly.

Jack Horkheimer always makes me think of Doctor Who. When I was a kid/teenager, Maryland Public TV ran Who (in the anthology format) late Saturday nights and before and after, they always ran the Star Hustler short for that week. My friends and I made a certain amount of fun of Jack (he was always so over-enthusiastic and is one of those people who gained more hair as they got older), but I always appreciated him and his work.
