history (Frank Robinson ring a bell? How's about those underground tunnels<br>through downtown? What about the underground newspapers in the sixties? The<br>subversive meetings of the MOLES? religious schisms and flame wars?).<br>
Perhaps it is a book. "The Weird History and Current Conditions of a Small<br>Idaho Town". We certainly have enough local chatracters and color to do it.<br>And, by the way, Joan Opyr's new book, From Hell to Breakfast, is now out!!!<br>

> missing and officials fear it may be gone for good.<br>><br>> Spokesman Erik Krikke of the city's historical center said the archive -<br>> which contained photos, drawings and erotic texts with a connection to the<br>
> city - may have been taken home "accidentally" by an employee or visitor.<br>><br>> "We're hoping that someone will say 'Hey, I have that in my attic' and<br>> bring it back," he said Thursday. "No questions asked."<br>
><br>> Krikke said the collection was small enough to have fit in a moving box.<br>><br>> Mayor Ferd Crone of Leeuwarden, 87 miles (140 kilometers) north of<br>> Amsterdam, told local media he had been unaware of the collection's<br>
> existence and was surprised it was gone.<br>><br>> Krikke said the bulk of the archive had been assembled by a "fanatic"<br>> curator at the historical center, mostly during the 1960s and '70s. Items<br>
> such as pictures by local photographers and artists would be difficult or<br>> impossible to replace.<br>><br>> The collection included a copy of the rare February 1998 edition of Dutch<br>> Playboy, Krikke said. It featured girls from each of 11 Dutch cities along<br>
> the route of the country's most beloved ice skating race, the<br>> Elfstedentocht. One of those girls was from Leeuwarden.<br>><br>> Asked whether he thought it was unusual for the town to have a pornography<br>
> collection, Krikke said "yes" - and that made the loss greater.<br>><br>> "Actually, we don't have one anymore," he said.<br>><br>> ------------------------------------------------<br>
