I forgot to mention during my intro that I bought Ray's book locally, at a
Borders Bookstore here in Albuquerque. If I had thought, I would have tried to
buy it through his site. Anyhow, there was only one copy at Borders and I got
it. This was back about the first of December, 99

I revisited the store on January 16 looking for a different book (to help
me on
Word 97), and I passed through the Diet Book section--and saw *three*
copies of
Ray's book, in alphabetic order among the Atkins books. Nicely, it was not
shelved normally but face forward for all to see :) I find the store to be
very
popular, so maybe those three copies will be sold quickly.

I taped the CBS show and watched it this afternoon. I think it was good. Ray
had, what, six minutes straight, more than 15% of the show after commercials
are subtracted. He looked better than any of the other participants on the
show
(though I watched only his part and sped through the rest looking through it).
I bet many viewers said to themselves: "I want to be like that smiling,
active,
clear-eyed fellow with the hawk" or "like hawkguy's slender wife" or "I
wish my
kids were as active as that one." Far better than the in-your-face
criticism of
the curly-haired doctor detractor.

I bet Borders sells those three books and more now :)
