George Lucas met with a painful accident. While tossing the baby, the child's fingernail took a piece out of the eyeball near the pupil. For a time he suffered intense pain and the other eye sympathized to such an extent that he was unable to see. It is giving him less pain now, but is in bad shape. -- typed by kbz

George LUCAS has a "Hoover" dog. You can't very well call her Herbert but she eats no wheat bread on Wednesdays or any other day. Good old corn bread is good enough for her. -- typed by kbz
