That's the secret, really. Don't write out "TIME!!" in inch-high scrawl--it only brings out the sadist in us. Don't (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read aloud to us your illegible remarks--we can (officially) read anything, and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page--single bluebook finals look like less work to grade, and win points. This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably worth a good five extra pints if you can hack...
...trying to use the law for what it is intended to be used for after all: securing the rights of the week. How hypocritical. Would Mr. Gooen tell those pushing desegregation through the courts that they are wrong and that they should only sit on the sidelines and write editorials? And with abortion, it is not just the right to an equal education that is at stake, it is the right to life...

An anthology of his previous 99, the tome covers a galaxy of topics, including the Moral Majority, mysteries, robots, computers, astronomy, physics, genetics, and erotic limericks, to name just a few. Asimov, 64, is happy to share the secret of his industry: "The process of writing is fun. This is all I ask." Will there be an Opus 400? He hopes so, but adds, "I might be 80 by then, and at 80 I'll be too old to get into any trouble-or write about...
