Robert Duncan McNeil b. 1964 (Star Trek: Voyager)
Lou Ferrigno b. 1951 (The Incredible Hulk)
Carl Sagan b.1934 died 20 December 1996 (author, Contact)
Severn Darden b. 1929 died 27 May 1995 (Battle for the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes)

Sunday is Martian Chronicles day, and going through the book chapter by chapter, we get two brief tales from late 2002 and early 2003.

ReplyDelete"Full faith and credit" appears to have been a difficult concept 100 years ago, as well. Though it would make some sort of sense--recall Master Heywood Allen's old routine about getting divorced from Louise Lasser: "The Bible says Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery, but New York State says you have to."
