He got a complaint letter, Robert [Locke] did, from a school principal at an elementary school somewhere in the U.S., saying, 'We've got this magazine in our school library, we can't have strip poker in there. This is unacceptable!'" Tom's web site: http://www.halfhill.com Some of Tom's articles in Compute!
