- The fact that Dieter did not understand the Murphy Brown allusion, which
- was stretched quite a bit to begin with, did not surprise me. After all,
- the poor fellow is down in OZ, far removed from US politics.

- It *astounds* me that someone else in Oz knows the story (and is eagerly
- awaiting the fall season premiere of the "Murphy's Revenge" episode?) of
- Murphy and the illustrious Mr. J. Danforth 'my name ends in e' Quayle.
