wouldn't recommend drawing conclusions from my comments on the Sandman:
although I spoke at a national level I was only talking about personal
experiences so the samples involved are small.<br><br>It could just be that the people I've met who know about it just read it in Hans Christian Andersen!<br><br>I heard it as an infant from my father, which is why I'd originally thought of it as something everybody knew.</span></blockquote>
</div>I
can give Ye a few years or three Sandy, I knew about the Sandman by the
late 1930's think both parents told me about him coming by. The Sandman
tale was expanded in Victorian times by a childrens' poem called "Wee
Willie Winkie" by William Miller. As to Germany I think it was Brahms
who wrote a beautiful lullaby based on the Sandman...."Lullaby,
lullaby, my own my Darling child"</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A popular American song of the early 1950's started optimistically...</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

In 1979 the SF story "Logan's Run" was made into a successful movie starring Michael York and the voluptuous Jennie Agguter.</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It concerned a human paradise under a sealed dome where one could have anything at all except a 30th birthday.</div>
