[Imc] Estabrook's _News From Neptune_

[Mike Lehman]

His column doesn't appear every week. It is often alternated with the
'ol Curmudge's column. Carl has been taking a lot of flak in the letters
column lately, mostly because he's been writing about the war, always a
controversial issue and especially so for the many who have learned what
little they think they know about international relations from the
News-Gazette. I doubt that this means anything, as the controversy it
attracts probably has lots of people reading the Octopus just to see
what he says next, let alone what those letterwriters will say;c)
