We finally got the date on Alcor's appearance on *Encounters*, a Fox
Network TV show.  We'll be on Saturday night, November 18 at 8:00 p.m. or
9:00 p.m., depending on your local schedule.   *Encounters* is usually an
ESP/UFO show; but this is one of their specials on more "real" subjects.
This one is speculation about future technology.  Our segment will be
toward the latter part of the hour.

As usual, we have no idea whether this show will be admiring, critical, or
merely hokey.  The director of our segment was Emmy-nominated for the TBS
documentary on the history of women in America and she was very
professional.  But we did do some suspension "re-creation" scenes for them
(with me pretending to do surgery on a Resusci-Annie), so you
knowledgeable people may get an extra giggle.

Also, *UltraScience*'s episode which includes cryonics will be on The
Learning Channel on Wednesday, November 29 at 8:30 p.m and 11:30 p.m,
repeated at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 3.  (local times may vary).
However, the first several episodes of this show have been incredibly
boring.  Not unpleasant or critical, just empty of content.
