Doc Ibold,

As I said, and I think you are agreeing with me:

I think it's pretty clear if you post a couple of pages you are infringing on the copyright laws. It's like plagerism with more serious consequences.

I wrote a Magnum paper for my Communications class in College in 1989. It compared and contrasted the Episodes "Did you see the Sunrise." and "Going Home."

How'd that work out for you? I know your professor had to be impressed!

I don't remember what I got on the paper. A- maybe. The Prof in turn directed me to the article "reflections on Magnum PI" which James has posted on this website somewhere.

Very cool of the professor to even know about the article and direct you to such! Was he/she a Magnum fan or just well versed in the field of television?

I always assumed that he considered Magnum quality TV. The Class was "Television and the Contemporary Mind." The prof referred to it as a class in Visual Rhetoric. He believed that Visual rhetoric should be (especially in this day and age) considered at the same level as verbal and written rhetoric. That was his agenda. Since everyone had to take a couple of communications courses, his was always a great draw, since he was a cool prof and well we got to watch TV for homework.

Magnum was on TV in reruns in the afternoon and I chose to use that rather than a prime time show. I thought I could find the paper, but where I thought it was I turned up a more typical college paper on Appeasement in 1938. sigh...

I just finished reading it (Santa brought it for me) and, wow . . . I trying to come up with the right way to say this, but I can't.

Let's just say I wanted it, and am glad I got it, but its better to look at than to read.

Thats my impression too, Conch.

I have it for the collection, but dunno if I'll be reading it again in the near future.

Oh well, its autographed!

Can you imagine if Hillerman did a book? Would Higgins finally get his memoirs published? That would be both funny and ironic!

IKnowWhatYoureThinking · Mon Jan 11, 2010 1:51 pm

Coops, maybe we can find a way to let Hillerman know there is a demand for the memoirs!

Well, he apparently lives down the road from me, maybe I could swing by and let him know!

IKnowWhatYoureThinking · Mon Jan 11, 2010 10:17 pm

Sounds like a plan to me. Just bring a good bottle of scotch with you and I'm sure he'll oblidge.

Since he's American, I should bring some ice, eh?

IKnowWhatYoureThinking · Tue Jan 12, 2010 1:43 pm

True. And being he is a Texan he may just settle for a nice cold Coops!
