Kappa Tracks

"A story is made up of words and characters. Are the words well chosen and do the characters live? All the rest is literary gossip."

My six decade love affair with the English language compels me to offer a list of authors whose work meets my critical standards. The single criterion operant is the quality of the prose as composed by the writers. I have made no discrimination whatsoever as to subject matter, theme, or plot.

Therefore be warned!

A great many of the works here listed may involve themes or subjects repugnant to some readers. I can only advise that if a particular story cannot be stomached, go on to the next; you will find at least a few to be to your taste.

Commentary....

first... there are six: Atlantis, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Endeavour & Enterprise.
what? you didn't think I had any interest/obsession other than the creation of Eastman/Laird??
little you know... Ten-Four...1957... I was there, kiddies...on the roof of my college residence hall watching Sputnik I across the sky....astronomy, space travel..sci-fi...
obsessions and devotions from early teens....the space age is 55 yrs....
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
and then... okay, so...TV on... 11 a.m. 9-29... a whole hour...and repeated!!
I guess I really don't have any acute critical facility....about 'image'...picture, as opposed to
 print...(not a 'cold' media, for me)
So all I will state for the record now is this... any program whose theme music/song ends with
 the words.....T........P...........!(ahem) can't be all BAD!!!
