A Book and a Movie
I finished reading "1421 - The Year China Discovered America". This is an excellent book that seems to conclusively demonstrate that the Chinese had explored the entire world and even set up colonies throughout North and South America. Evidence includes maps from pre-Columbus time of North America, lingustics, plant species, and artifacts. Fun reading and I'm not a history buff.
I also watched "Logan's Run". Pretty middle-of-the-road, and definitely mid-seventies pre-Star Wars quality special effects. The acting is good at points, but mostly terrible. The story is strong for most of the movie, but the ending disappointed me.
