I sure hope that the war in the gulf is over before Saturday.
The war reportage reminds me of sports reporting. All I want
is periodic updates not a blow by blow.  Last night
I had to endure endless repetition of the same info while
my favourite shows were pre-empted (ENG and LA Law). 
No civilain can do anything to influence events in the gulf so why
do we have to be so over-informed about it?
