    Corbomite Maneuver Balance of Terror City on the Edge of Forever The Inner Light Carbon Creek -- they really missed the boat on this one. A lot of follow-up stories were left untold... Among the best.

    Misconceptions of World War II

    I see. I really didn't know. If the third had been used on Tokyo, it may not have been to the benefit of the allied cause. The Emperor most likely would have been killed and thus would no longer have been a "moderating" influence on the military, which, I understand, was prepared to fight on...

    cummerbund

    A gentlemen from England asked if he could wear a cummerbund with other than evening semi-formal/black tie - I believe he asked if it would be "correct." The answer is, yes, he can because he is free to do as he pleases, at least so far as I am concerned, but, it will not be correct and to...

    cummerbund

    Unless it is a dinner jacket, I do not recommend this. Remember, Greenstreet was portraying a Hollywood idea of a Moroccan underworld figure, not a properly dressed Englishman.

    Ben Silver has some. Be sure that it does not match the tie.

    Is a Dinner Jacket too much for a Cocktail Party?

    I hate to have anyone pass up a chance to wear evening semi-formal/black tie but unless the invitation says "black tie" or "black tie preferred" I would recommend not doing so. In the United States, calling the hostess to clarify the dress code is always appropriate so long as you do not hint...

    Hopefully my final Black Tie Question

    The dancing shoes would be good for...dancing. And that cat I alluded to will allow you to use them twice (more often, if you retrieve them in the morning).

    Indy V

    "It's Better Than No Whiskey A'Tall" IJ IV was better than no sequel at all... The costumes were nice. Too bad they killed off Colonel-Doctor Irina Spalko. It is the same mistake they made with Dr. Rene Belloq in ROLA.

    Hopefully my final Black Tie Question

    It is not so much the broguing, but the cap. If patent opera slippers (sigh) are out of the question, the next best thing is patent, plaincap (Copley-type), leather sole, oxfords (sniff!). If those do not fit in the budget, there are a few options that may suffice that cost less. I would...
