Ah yes...but maybe there's a little catch in the question...or the answer
isn't as straight-forward as you think :)
Note: I said i'd stay out of the guessing on this, but I'll say this
much...I'll be providing scans [or at least a location with scans] to
demonstrate the answer I'd be expecting. [And the answer may be a surprise
:) ]
As to themes...I was referring to individual ranges, and theme will fit into
one range [UFO's are space, etc.]
So what's your guess? [Remembering that I won't be giving any hints/clues
before I give the answer on Sunday night.]

| Pick one of those I mentioned in my original reply. If those get eliminated - in fact, since you didn't say whether any were correct, I'd say they could all be elimination candidates. <gdr> Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde Whytcross, Benjamin (...)
