<<I expect everyone on this list to behave themselves properly, be
polite, and to act in an appropriate manner in this public forum.
That means no ham-handed Archie Bunker imitations, no Quentin
Tarantino talk, and cursing only when necessary. I'm surprised this
needs to be said.>>

Maybe it's right clear and plumb obvious - but you forgot "Roscoes must
be left with the girl at the hat-check."

I recently got a dirt-cheap Barnes & Noble collection called _100
Malicious Little Mysteries_, edited by Asimov. What makes the volume
essential are several stories by the great Jack Ritchie. Another
collection I finally finished reading is _Kill or Cure_ (ed. by Muller
and Pronzini), which again has fine stories by Ritchie, Wade Miller, and
Cornell Woolrich.

Are there any other Ritchie fans in the room?
