  Zephyr Message from "Buzz"

     The "zephyr" service on the CMU network has a bunch of neat services.

     One sends out an hourly funny-window that has a Top-Ten list and a

     Sniglet and a quote of the hour. I liked this one:

     Quote o' the hour:

     "For one crowning moment, we were creatures of the cosmic ocean, an
     epoch that

     a thousand years hence may be seen as the signature of our century. ...
     Yet an

     eerie apathy now seems to inflict the very generation who witnessed and
     were

     inspired by those events. The past quarter-century has seen a withered

     capacity for wonder and a growing retreat to delusions of risk-free
     society."

     Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, at a ceremony commemorating

     the 25th anniversary the Apollo 11 moonlanding
