What is "The CampChuck Reviewer"? It is a 45 year old tradition of Oscar-tuned newsletters plus special travel editions by Charles N. Jaffee.

What is "Startlets"? This is a too long, nearly done book that I'll get around to publishing sometime.

See page 9. The CampChuck Reviewer web version is different from the paper version. The contents are almost exactly the same. Indeed the content length is dictated by the 8 page paper format. (sometimes four pages)

In the paper version there is a perennial tradition to include a wholly implausible banner headline that cross references a non-existent page 9 of the 8 page Oscar newsletter (or page 5 when it's 4 pages). Historically the headline frequently refers to Meryl Streep. On the Web, this would be construed as a broken link and both the joke and Webmaster's credibility would be lost. So, in the Web version, I simply declare the joke, for instance, "Meryl Streep Pleads for 'The CampChuck Reviewer to Continue," Ha, ha.
