(Introduction to STOREYS\nOF THE OLD HOTEL)\"\n\nI thought it was pretty much how tv insidiously takes over some people's\nlives; i.e., we become so enchanted by the maze, we're reluctant to leave\nand thus will always be vicarious \"armchair adventurers\" rather than actual\nparticipants in life. I find this notion scary, anyway. \n\nThen again, my maze-of-choice is reading.\n\nscolex/Robert Borski"
