FILE 770:38 2 Editorial Rambling Science Fiction Writer Mack Reynolds Died of Cancer January 31, According to Rick Katze
t YE OLDE COLOPHON FILE 770 is edited by Mike Glyer, at 5828 Woodman Ave. #2, Van Nuys CA 91401. This newzine serving science fiction fandom is published less often than Charlie Brown recommends, and more often than Andrew Porter can keep count (see item else where this issue), but to be more specific, shows up about every six weeks. While F77O can be obtained for hot news, sizzling rumors (printable or not), arranged trades with clubzines and newzines, and expensive Inng-distance phone calls (not collect), subscriptions are most highly prized. Rates: 5/$3 (US) will get your issues sent first-class in North America, and printed matter overseas. $1 per issue covers air printed matter mailing overseas. Direct those expensive, long-distance calls to (213) 787-5061. I’m never home Tuesday nights, so don’t kill yourselves trying to reach me then. I do have a message machine, if it comes down to that... Want back issues? Send request for info. Thanks for production help last issue to: Anne Hansen, Fran Smith, Dean Bell, Debbie Ledesma.______________________ ______ ROUNDMGS mihe glyer ~ — ORIENTATION FOR NEW READERS : Why is this fanzine titled FILE 770? Late in ‘■"z 1977, when I was nerving up to start a fannish newzine to succeed KARASS, I found it difficult to find a title that had not been previously used. I looked through dictionaries, and the Thesaurus. I scanned Bruce Pelz’ voluminous fanzine index. I declined offers to revive titles like FANAC and STARSPINKLE. It became my contention that all the good sf story references usable as newzine titles had been taken. -

Russell Timekeeper--------------------------------Kevin Standlee [This document was transferred to electronic format in 1999 by Pat McMurray. I have not corrected any apparent spelling errors or mistakes. Two documents were included with the paper minutes which I have not transferred. These were a copy of the advertisement from the AEE with improper use of "Worldcon ‘91" and a copy of the MRPC Names and Addresses – very out of date by now.] Cluster A: Housekeeping Matters Item A.1: Call to Order 13:07 Item A.2: Point of Order Rick Katze asked when it would be appropriate to eliminate preferred seating in front row. Chair ruled that since meeting has started, anyone may occupy currently unoccupied seats, but that reserved seating would continue in effect for the future. Item A.3: Roll Call and Determination of Presence of Quorum It was visually apparent that at least 12 persons were physically present, in addition to the table officers.

Settlement ot Boundary Disputes between Nicotine and Oxygen Breathers The rightmost third of the room was declared fit for nicotine and was spottily occupied. 2.

I have loved this since I first read it shortly after it ...By Edith RudyI have loved this since I first read it shortly after it was published. (Powers is one of those authors whose books I buy immediately.) The chance to get it for my Kindle was delightful...I am slowly trying to get my favorites on my e- reader.It can be a bit complex to figure out...the protagonist is both a "fish" and a "candidate for the crown". He's a fish because he ignored good advice and got into a poker game where he lost his soul...but he's also the natural son of the current Fisher King...though nobody knows it except the old man who adopted him after his natural father tried to kill him.As is the case with most of Powers' writing, the book deals with resurrection. (In this case, it's even the name of the variety of poker he plays.) Scott decides that he will attempt to take the crown rather than giving up his soul. -
