One Year of Teletimes: A Tribute to Creativity

Features

• Round Trip "That trip carried me from Halifax and Brighouse, wrapped in the gloom of their own Mordor, to Rohan in the south." - Dr. Euan Taylor
• One "As they walked, their feet pressed neatly into the breasts of the wet earth, causing milky water to ooze out from her swollen nipples to wash their soles clean before percolating once again, leaving their prints of the ground and leaving her milky marks on their ten toes." - Biko Agozino
• Do We Really Live In One World? "In a blur he leapt to the grave and deftly cut the skeletal hand at the wrist and snatched his prize. He looked at the fingers...there it was! The ring of Orcrist the Dark One." - Mike Matsunaga
• Y0UN'.C!T! An interesting abstract poem from our correspondant in Vienna. - Dr. Michael Schreiber
• Report From Mexico City "What Mexico City has managed to keep, is the wonderful tradition of cocktails... Vampire's, Cuba Libre's, Pancho Villa's, Brown Cow's, Silk Stocking's, Angel's Kisses, Bull's, and of course, the legendary Margarita." - Andreas Seppelt

The Best of Teletimes

• Vol 1, No 1 - A Sports Commentary "But a curious thing has happened to sports in Canada the last ten years or so. October used to be relished because the ice gods were about to take centre stage. Now, the giant U.S. hype machine has crowded hockey to the fringe, some worry it may fall off." - Paul Chapman
• Vol 1, No 2 - Now the Real Decisions Begin "The referendum on the Charlottetown accord was a long, drawn out and bitter battle that ended with a resounding No being shoved in the faces of the Prime Minister and the nine premiers that negotiated the deal." - Paul Chapman
• Vol 2, No 1 - NAFTA: Canadian Misconceptions "When many Canadians look at NAFTA (in particular, free trade with Mexico), they see declining wages, less jobs, and a worsening economy. However, this perception may be very different from the economic reality." - Andreas Seppelt
• Vol 2, No 1 - Artificial Belligerence A humourous article by one of our writers in Vancouver, in which he pokes fun at the computer and Artificial Intelligence industry - Kent Barrett
• Vol 2, No 2 - Tequila Myths Dispelled "Tequila is a type of mezcal and is more properly known as "Mezcal de Tequila", just as various grape wines are known by the names of regions where they are produced. Mezcal is made both legally and illegally almost anywhere in Mexico where maguey plants are grown, but the most well known is from Oaxaca." - Tom Davis
• Vol 2, No 3 - Get Wired, Stay Wired "Every so often a magazine comes along that captures the essence of a change in society. Through visual and literary excellence, it acts as the print window that illuminates the whole panorama of that shift. The premier issue of Wired promises to be just such a magazine for this on-line generation." - Stuart Hertzog

• The Keepers Of Light "In this issue we'll visit the Exposure Gallery to view 'Naked City', an exhibition of contemporary nudes, and we'll speak with one of the show's contributors, Vancouver artist Peter C. Combe." - Kent Barrett
• Déjà Vu "The social costs of adequately revamping Canada's educational systems to address the changes that are propelling us toward the beginning of the next century are astronomical. However the cost of doing nothing is even greater." - David Lewis
• The Wine Enthusiast "Each growing season is unique, and literally the effects of an entire year of weather are recorded in grapes of a given year. Each bottle from each vintage is a time capsule of information, recording my skills and judgments as a winemaker and the resources applied to it." - Tom Davis
• Vol 2, No 2 - Cuisine A recipe for Caribbean Bachelor's Chicken - David Lewis
