If the world is to end on 23 October 1996, then New Zealand will be first
to go, as one of our cities, Gisborne, being so far east, is first in the
world to see sunrise on any date. So far, Gisborne is accessible and it
is 10.00a.m. on 23 October. If I have time, I will let you know whether
the prediction is coming true. If you don't hear from me, don't make
any impulsive assumptions; I am very busy and may not have time to stop
work even for the end of the world. Garth.
