Actually form the magazine "Discover" "..Vecna Robotics is perfecting a tank with a humanoid upper body to remove injured soldiers from the battlefield.The system, called the Battlefield Extraction-Assist Robot, or BEAR, would ride into a battle zone, autonomously retrieve a wounded soldier, and then, carry him to safety in it's robotic arms" ...anyway, I found it interesting and the article includes a photo... ???????? ? ? ? ??

It's May 7 in Illinois, and this seems like a good time to post a link to a poem I wrote that includes Wolfean themes. I add my best wishes for improved health for Mr. Wolfe. http://home.windstream.net/jerryfriedman/pilgrim1.html Candid but preferably not sarcastic comments are welcome. Jerry Friedman

I wouldn't consider "This or that line doesn't scan" or "You could improve the rhythm of this line this way" or "On the whole, the meter doesn't work" or similar comments to be sarcastic. I'd say an example of sarcasm would be "Why don't you learn the rudiments of scansion before you make your next attempt at poetry?" Of course if people feel the need to be sarcastic, they might not let my request stand in their way.

Indeed! Another Wolfe related piece of prose appeared in the April NYRSF by Patrick O'Leary Half the Bargain: A Short Story.

First verse Fourth line. Line eight is very clumsy. Perhaps 'With which I pronounce each sarcastic line' is an improvement. Second verse Fourth line. It's actually quite interesting, and some of the stuff you are doing or trying to do is going to be impressive when it is done. It's interesting enough that I am not about to attempt to pass judgement on it in its present state. I will have to read it more carefully, and I may have more to say when I do. .
