     Dr. Lawrence Schoen, Editor of HolQeD and top man in the Klingon
Language Institute.

     Captain Krankor, although he may argue with the phrase "LIKE a Klingon."
Would you say Clinton was dressed like a president or that John Paul was
dressed like a Pope?

     I will comment on the "headplate", however. The KAG in Greensboro, NC
has what I think are better makeup people. Their ridges are a little more
convincingly part of their faces, though preparation takes a while, and I'm
not sure how well it could be done at a campground.
