   Yes, we realize there are two films scheduled for 12:30AM early   
   the morning of the 28th.  That's what the schedule says at this   
   point.  [-ecl]

   TOPIC: This Week's Reading (book comments by Evelyn C. Leeper)   
      
   I'm working my way through THE DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS: COMPANION   
   (which is the tenth volume of the University of California edition   
   of the diary.  The Companion is edited by Robert Latham and   
   William Matthews and has contributions by a dozen scholars and is   
   basically an encyclopedia of the references in the diary, as well   
   as a glossary, a chronology, genealogical tables, and various maps.   
      
   Now, since it is over six hundred pages long, I am   
   reading/skimming it in small chunks rather than as if it were a   
   normal book.  So I will probably be making comments over the next   
   few weeks or so.   
      
   The first comment is that we are currently worried about   
   disinformation and the power of social media.  In the entry on   
   coffee houses, it is reported how Edmund Chillenden, a   
   coffee-house owner, was arrested for spreading "fake news".  (This   
   was written in 1983, so the term is at least that old.)  The entry   
   goes on to say, "At the same time the coffee-houses could be to   
   some extent used by the government for its own purposes.   
   Clarendon in 1666 came to prefer this to a policy of suppression.   
   Pepys himself was in 1665 asked by Batten to use the coffee-houses   
   to put about stories of Dutch misinterpretation of our seamen.   
   They would there 'spread like the leprosy.'"   
      
   Ecclesiastes said it millennia ago: "There is nothing new under   
   the sun."  [-ecl]

              Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments,   
              show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress   
              the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do   
              not devise evil in your hearts against one another.
