_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Number 6 has escaped forever.
A mark of a great actor is the ability to elevate 'B-' material with an 'A' performance. The first time I got this was when I realized that McGoohan, then in Prisoner was the same guy I'd seen as a kid in "Scarecrow of Romney Marsh". . .
I am surprised he lived as long as he did, after his stay as a prisoner.
I don't understand it!
Ricardo Montalban has died, too.
Ricardo Montalban is the man to prove that if an actor is regarded more lightly than his talent warrants, all it takes is one role - the right one! - for him to make everything all right with the history books forever.
Ricardo Montalban seized his chance with both hands. Respect for the great Khan!
Ricardo Montalban has deplaned.
Patrick McGoohan has escaped the global village.
Be seeing you.
