Podkopaev was known throughout the department for his zest for sports. He loved skiing, in-line skating and ballroom dancing, and used to wake up at 8 a.m. on cold winter mornings to make the trek from Child Hall to the Bright Hockey Center...
...Bill Bixby in the 1963-66 TV series My Favorite Martian. A Broadway veteran (he won a Tony for playing the Devil in Damn Yankees), he took the extraterrestrial role of Bixby's Uncle Martin expecting the show to be a serious look at parallel worlds, a proto-Star Trek, and was upset by its evolution into what he calls "a silly sitcom."

"Movie tie-ins outsell regular science fiction by quite a bit," Brown says with a sniff. "We don't consider them real science fiction." A bit more acceptable, though still off the point, are traditional sword-and-sorcery fantasies like Robert Jordan's A Crown of Swords (Tor), which debuted at No. 2 on last week's New York Times list...
