A confession : before reading The Space Opera Renaissance , I honestly thought that space opera came to be called space opera because " opera , " in my blissfully uninformed opinion , was the equivalent of the Hollywood blockbuster from before they had Hollywood - - big , brash , wide screen entertainment full of fickle gods , exotic foreigners , passionate lovers and mighty warriors , all mashed up into stories of inspired , over-the-top mayhem and exhibitionism , and topped with bellowing divas howling like Hurricane Katrina in a ball gown . Service officials later added that except in hardship cases , the air marshals were expected to remain in the originally assigned field offices for 3 to 5 years . I think I should be lauded as a paragon of virtue since from the beginning until the end I always felt that Ronald Reagan and his posse should be taken out and shot .

The new findings also showed that 77 % of people surveyed visited their family physician at least once a year and that 26 % visited a specialist at least once a year .
