Someone had fun with this title and it gave me a good laugh one day several years ago. Title has remained constant over the years and select articles are now available online. I don't know if Mr. or Mrs. Potatohead ever posed for the cover though. -------- Original Message -------- Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 10:52:39 -0400 From: "Max Shenk" <MShenk@mc3.edu> Subject: Re: Fun serial titles -- Rick Anderson Can't think of one offhand, although I thought that THE CRISIS was pretty funny the day that we received duplicate issues and I complained to my assistant, "Man, if it's not one CRISIS around here, it's another!"

This thought occurred to me recently after I encountered my personal favorite: The Progressive Fish-Culturist. (Are there reactionary fish-culturists?) I'm sure someone out there has come across even better ones. If so, I'd love to hear what they are. ------------- Rick Anderson Director of Resource Acquisition The University Libraries University of Nevada, Reno "Beware any theory that 1664 No. Virginia St. explains everything and Reno, NV 89557 predicts nothing."
