I always thought Pat Morita would have made a splendid Master Li from BRIDGE OF BIRDS, but now the chance is lost. I enjoyed him in the first KARATE KID--never saw the others. But I almost mailed him the BoB paperback once. He knew how to do comedy and to convey compassion. All we needed was a Number Ten Ox.

And you thought **you** were alone in a crowd

How about a whooping crane whose parents never showed it the way to the wintering grounds? This year he's with friendly sandhill cranes, who aren't inviting him to meet the daughter, but otherwise think he's fine.

He knows where Canada is, so one day the right lady might show him the way to Aransas...
