Joe,

	I figured that if Norman Corwin inspired you, and you made up a TV 
show that inspires me, I should find out something about this Corwin fellow, 
so I checked out _Holes in a Stained Glass Window_ from the university 
library, as well as "The Plot to Overthrow Christmas," which I would love to 
hear performed.

	Now to the point of this message ... one of the essays in _Holes_ is 
called "C&C," which stands for "Conscience and Communication," for those of 
you eavesdroppers who haven't read the book.  Is Babylon 5's C&C a nod to 
Corwin (as is the name of the C&C tech), or is that just a coincidence?  
Perhaps this is a tiny leetle theeng to notice, but it's my chance to ask you 
a question that (I hope) a thousand other fans haven't already asked.

	Really, really trying to avoid spoilers for "Severed Dreams" and to 
keep from going nuts while waiting to see it on Saturday ...

No, C&C is a standard military reference to Command and Control.
