all roads lead back to Ryan's Hope

Last night I watched the original version of The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three (1974), which had some wonderful footage of seventies NYC (next best thing to the TARDIS I really could use for Jo book research). Earl Hindman (Bob Reid on Ryan's Hope) played one of the hijackers--apparently he had quite a career playing menacing types before he was cast as kind-hearted Bob. Plus Kenneth McMillan (Charlie Ferris) played a cop, and Anna Berger (Nancy Feldman's mother Beryl) played one of the subway passengers. Needless to say, all of these actors have vast IMDB pedigrees...

noveling epiphany

It occurs to me, after researching various NYC universities Jo and Cyn could have attended circa 1970, none of which seem quite right, that I can create a fictional university according to my specifications. Sheesh, sometimes I forget I'm writing a novel. I get to make stuff up!
