Oops.  Correction. "Halloween IV: When Software Things Were Rotten" is
not in fact based on leaked Microsoft material.  It just takes off on
a comment by Ed Muth, Vinod Vallopillil's boss.

Someday those poor fools at Microsoft will learn that it's just not
wise to hand me straight lines...

The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably
by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for
the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot
be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime
in this country is closely connected with this.
