- You must
first click the speaker icon in an attempt to get one of my audio clips
to play. Then, a yellow bar appears
across the screen with the cautionary "Some features have
been disabled to avoid potential security risks. Only enable these
features if you trust this document."
On the right side of this bar is a drop down menu called "Options": Click on "Options," then select either option to enable audio clips to play.
- Unfortunately, if you have already allowed Full Screen Mode because Reader asks you to allow Full Screen Mode when you first open the Coach Says, Vol. 1, issue ii document, when you later click the speaker icon to play an audio clip, this yellow bar does not appear. So, you must click your computer's Escape key to return to Non-Full Screen Mode, click the speaker icon again, and then (and only then!) does that yellow bar appear. Click that same drop down menu called "Options," select either option. Then, click the speaker again, and all the audio clips will function as expected.
In this issue's editorial "Stand-Up Comic as Gunslinger," page 1-14, I compare/contrast Richard Boone's character Paladin in the top-rated "Have Gun - Will Travel" (HGWT) TV adult Western (1957-1963) with the character of a current top Keynote Speaker and that of a top Stand-Up Comic.
This, to prove that the archetypical hero is both valid and necessary to our times and to these related three art forms.
To illustrate the point, I cited selected episodes of HGWT.
Luckily, when I released this issue of Coach Says on 8-12-09, most of these episodes were available to view online for free.
Yesterday, one of our readers, who had been watching these freebie episodes, alerted me that they are suddenly no longer available on CBS.com, IMDB.com and not even the $2/episode ones on Amazon.com
Therefore, links to these web sites from Coach Says, Vol. 1, issue ii, will not work on pages 6, 7, and 11-13.
The usual suspect is the Hollywood Remake Machine.
Remakes almost always suffer by comparison to the original. Therefore, producers of remakes often take action to make access to the original difficult.

Free as we speak:
Youtube.com still has some sliced up episodes; so, to avoid frustration, do make sure you find all the slices for a give episode before you start watching.
Alert: video quality is so poor you will not be able to see Boone's face fill a TV screen circa 1957 to reveal telling details of expression, eye-twinkling, etc.

HGWT Seasons 1-3 can still (hopefully) be rented on DVD, which is a much superior viewing experience, especially if watched on a TV (intended medium):
1) Netflix:
