           WHAT HAPPENED ON THE "ST NEWS" RELEASE DATE
                         (NOVEMBER 25TH)
                      by Richard Karsmakers

The second time this new column appears, and it's still hardly a
very useful one,  but it's a nice trivial thing and it's not  too
big anyway, so who'd give a toss anyway (it's also some promotion
for  the kind of output that the potentially  forthcoming  "Brain
Management Utility" database will be capable of doing).

So...on November 25th the following things have happened:

The text of the articles is identical to the originals like they appeared in old ST NEWS issues.

So bad jokes, bad English, youthful arrogance, insults, bravura, over-crediting and tastelessness should be taken with at least a grain of salt.
