Re: Americans in Europe
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I am posting from tin in
plain text, from an American university, and I don't have a clue why
Korean would be happening.
Anyone else seeing either html or korean?

I don't think that Americans perceive England as part of Europe (neither
do many people in England, for that matter). "Europe" means the other
countries where English is not spoken. England is a special case.

No worries. You are in text mode 7-bit ascii now. You had for some reason
korean table active in some previous letters.

Uh. Ozzie Nelson was a bandleader in the 1930s and 1940s (Ricky
got his musical talent naturally), and Harriet Hillyard was his
"canary". Ozzie's band played on the radio a lot, and somehow he
got his own radio program (with Harriet) in the 1940s. Ricky and
David were played by actors at first.
But it was never clear what Ozzie's occupation was on the
programs.

I think that is part of that.
It is considered a very romantic city in the US.
I will admit my first European trip, only 8 days long, was to London and
Paris. Part of that was that I had studied French in High school.

I don't know that the lifestyles themselves were particularly wrong, just
that no one in America was really as goofy-happy as people in many of

probably for a reason - nobody wants to see a "Marsha gets diarrhea"
episode.
