From the Mailbag, Wed, 26 Jun 2002
I just wanted to share this with someone who would actually care (although you
probably already knew this). In the recent movie John Q, as the police sniper
closes in on our hero, he radios back to base, "Checkmate King Two, this is
White Rook".

Reply: Dear Rick: Thanks for the email. Yes, I actually care, and No, I didn't
know this. So,the Saunders and Hanley legacy are infiltrating contemporary
films. Yippee!
