HACKADEMY

   Today's NEW YORK POST, 3 December 2001, pg. 25, col. 1 (www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/35660.htm), describes a school for would-be hackers and cyber-pirates called "The Hackademy."

   David Shulman is OK; he shakes a little.
   I saw this ad on the subway from Brooklyn.  To advertise a play, you used to need good reviews.  Now, all you need are a bunch of words, which you can cut and paste as you wish:

HIP YOUNG UNFLINCHING SEXY WICKED
DARING & COMPULSIVELY WATCHABLE
