He reports that the hardest part of incarceration is the separation from wife and children (it's a long way from Naperville, Ill., to Goldsboro, N.C.), and the intense loneliness of the first few weeks. He is assigned to menial labor, and spends his "leisure" time playing cards, writing letters, and trying to cope with his new environment. He *does not* have a computer or a typewriter. Prisons should be the stop of last resort for violent predators or for those who demonstrate pattern of career criminality. Nothing is served by imprisoning Len or others like him. Why not drop him a humorous postcard just to say "hi?" Sheldon Zenner will continue to serve as as a conduit for funds send to help Len's family. Checks made out to Len Rose or money orders (*no cash*) may be sent to: Sheldon T. Zenner RE: Len Rose Katten, Muchin, and Zavis 525 West Monroe Street (Suite 1600) Chicago, IL 60606-3693 Len's address for those who've missed it: Len Rose (27154-037) FPC Seymour Johnson AFB Caller Box 8004 PMB 187 Goldsboro, NC 27531-5000 +++++++++++++ 'Zines +++++++++++++ The latest MONDO has been out, and from all accounts is first-rate. Info on ordering can be obtained from RUSIRIOUS@WELL.SF.CA.US INTERTEK (Summer, '91) also is lookin' good. Of special interest are the pieces by EFF's John Gilmore on "Preserving Privacy in America" and the interview with sci-fi author Bruce Sterling. The snippets of news and reviews cover the new-hitek gamut, and where else could you find a financial report that includes street prices of computers *and* drugs? (The price of cocaine is down 25 pct--so much for the war on drugs). +++++++++ FTP SITE INFO +++++++++ The U of Chicago ftp site address as changed: The machine is now offically known as chsun1.spc.uchicago.edu although chsun1.uchicago.edu is a valid alias. The ip address is 128.135.252.7 The archivist, Bob Kusumoto, will be unavailable for a few weeks while recovering from a sports injury, so don't send email to him for awhile. He should be able to throw the bull...uh, ball....with his previous velocity. A number of new files have been added, mostly 'zines, academic, and legal papers. Bill Cook's opening statement in the Craig Neidorf trial is also up. ------------------------------
