7064 Mon, 25 Oct 1999 10:37:36 -0400 [alt-beam] Tilden on PBS again beam@sgiblab.sgi.com "Chris" <123abc@chek.com> Just thought you guys might want to know that Tilden was on again. The thing is called "Journey to the Milkyway:Journey to the stars". He's only on for like a few minutes, but he does have styrder out and about. He DOES mention the head to the body problem. HEY TILDEN IF YOUR READING THIS TELL US!
