...Actually, Allen didn't "write" any books; he dictated them into his ever-handy micro tape recorder. After 50 years in show business, as an author and polemicist, Steve was still doing radio - still hosting a talk show, even when no one else was talking and his only audience was a stenographer.

A long list of stories appears, ostensibly geared toward young people. Flipping through the results makes you wonder about who's in charge over in Bush's cyber-land: The top story details Bush's visit to a Pittsburgh veterans' event, where the governor paid special tribute to Congressional Medal of Honor winners. Math is not my strong point, but I'm willing to bet none of those vets were under...
