The Fine Print
The NC discussions are open to anyone. It's a friendly place, easy to join. Just sign in on the comment box with your email address and write your comment. If you stick around, people will get to know you and you're in (except, of course, for the usual credit and criminal record checks, birth and citizenship authentication, school transcripts starting from kindergarten, photocopies of tax records, ID, credit cards, debit cards, etc.). If you turn up often and seem to get the drift of the magazine, you'll be invited to submit. Please respect the generally high level of camaraderie and amiability already in evidence.
The management wishes to acknowledge the financial support of Douglas "Deep-Pockets" Glover and no one else.
The telling clue of doom, which she didn’t figure out until too late, was that the hotel clerks asked her whether or not she was certain she wanted to involve the police. She said, “Of course.” Note to self: when asked this in a foreign country, always say, “No.” What further boggles the mind is that her government cannot extract her from the situation. I find this terrifying. I know I shouldn’t be shocked, but I am.
