Viewers, listeners, pro-
ducers and talk-show hosts
who have long worried that
Paganism, Social Nudity,
Palmisti?y, Self Esteem, Pig
Day and other issues will
never be discussed on the air
for lack of an instant expert,
need fret no more. The
1986/87 Talk Show Guest Di-
rectory of Experts, Authorities
and Spokespe-rsom, published
by Washington, D.C. editor
Mitchell P. Davis, cross-in-
dexes 3,355 topics in English
and Spanish to 2,102 special-
interest groups all over the
country, from Student Ath-
letes to Zero Population
Growth; from AIDS, Aard-
vark and Abortion to World
'Security, X-rated films,
Yuppies and Zoological Parks.

Thinking ahead to the
political wars of 1988, the di-
rectory (available in book
form for $25, or as a set of
4,000 printed Rolodex cards
for $165), notes that Alan
Caruba, founder of the Bor-
ing Institute of Maplewood,
New jersey, which already has
brought you the ?Most Bor-
ing Celebrities? and ?Most
Boring Film Awards,? plans
to run for President?011 the
Boring Party ticket.
