      either corrected Pratt by saying the Land Rover was

***********
Bits of books mentioned, but not their titles:
 
The underwater helmet, homage to Jules Verne.  Bartok says
this was in Pratt's latest book.
~Birth Of A Legend~ (1:A:1)
 
Bart stares into the flames of his campfire and sees
the fires of hell... a metaphor.  Jack McCall uses
this as an example of how there are far too many words
in Pratt's novels.  The outlaw preferred action.
~The Life, Death, and Life of Wild Bill Hickok~ (1:E:5)
