[ snip ] on inspection, it seemed ok, but, i was feeling just a little bit hinky about it. when in doubt, draw a truth table. so, i did. several times. i needed both monkey pages to be sure, but i got [ p + q ] and [ not_p + r ] implies [ q + r ]. six of the eight cases are fine. but, in the two cases where p = q = not_r , i can't make it work. can someone point out my error ? if i am not in error, does this mean that superman --is-- evil or malevolent ? is the spider_lady evil or malevolent ? or is it just her hench_men ? questions, questions, questions, on the minds of concerned young people to_day. is that the madison that is a stone's_throw from here ? just wondering. i recommend highly the two post_war serials, particularly if you are a ten_year_old or if you can play one at the matinee. many southern_pacific 4-6-2 locomotives and many views of the chatsworth station, back when there was fruit in the valley. http://www.amazon.com/Superman-1948-Theatrical-Serials-Collection/dp/B000I8OM94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1201921520&sr=1-1 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001906/ see items 27 and 22 on the imdb page. rob woodstock, illinois
