  You've got that right! On Saturday at 8 PM Eastern on CNBC cable they are 
re-running a National Geographic Explorer program titled, _In Cold Blood; 
Thunder Dragons; Crocodile Man._. There's some fabulous footage of monitors 
including some underwater shots I especially enjoyed. The Croc Man isn't 
Steve but rather a fellow working in India. Interesting shots of mugger 
crocodiles, gavials, and a very distinctive saltwater. This one's worth a 
tape. Dan Varner.
