...shot of scoring a seat at the taping. If they did indeed come for the camp, the show outdid itself, though the producers' efforts were sometimes a bit forced. The contest was held at the dance club Webster Hall, and the theme ingredient, Dungeness crab, was lowered from a disco ball. "Do they get the joke, or do they think it's serious?" asked Flay afterward. They hired Australian former talk show host Gordon Elliott as emcee. They get it, Bobby...

I can no more imagine their giving up the printed page than I can imagine a picture in the New York Post showing the Pope technoboogieing the night away in a disco. My adventure in cyberspace (Riding the Bullet, available on any computer near you) has confirmed this idea dramatically. My mail and the comments on my website www.stephenking.com reflect two things: first, readers enjoyed the story; second, most didn't like getting it on a screen, where it appeared and then disappeared like Aladdin's genie...
