(Cyberspace, USA) -- Bob and his father Al delivered to their publisher last month the second edition of the book they co-authored and, when it is released next month, it will sport a new name, Kohn On Music Licensing. The change, according to publisher Aspen Law & Business, reflects the special stature the book and its authors have earned in music publishing and entertainment law circles. The new edition has been expanded to cover songwriter agreements, international music publishing, fair use of music, as well as emerging issues in music publishing, such as licensing music on the Internet. To provide further information to prospective purchasers, the authors invite all Web surfers to visit their page on the Web located at http:// www.kohnmusic.com.

Mr. Kohn Goes to Washington may be the movie version of Borland's appearance next month before the U.S. Supreme Court in Lotus v. Borland. Go Borland!

Microsoft found itself the beneficiary of some free publicity when, on August 18, Al, commenting on Microsoft's licensing of the song Start me Up from a reluctant Rolling Stones, was quoted in the Wall Street Journal saying: "You can't always get what you want, but if you're Microsoft you get what you need."

Also, in August, Bob began his second year teaching Corporate Law at Monterey College of Law.

On November 29, Bob testified before the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The full text of his testimony is available online.

Having devoted considerable attention to Kohn On Music Licensing, Bob was forced to limit his reading adventures in 1995 to the following short list of books.

Toffler, Powershift
W. Jaeger, Aristotle
Aristotle, Ethics
M. J. Adler, Desires: Right and Wrong
Ben Hecht, Miracle In The Rain
Paul Goldstein, Copyright's Highway
Nicholas Negroponte, Being Digital
Dave Taylor, Creating Cool Web Pages
M. J. Adler, Philosopher's Dictionary
M. J. Adler, The Difference of Man and the Difference it Makes
John December, Presenting Java

Bob has also joined the electronic coffeehouse crowd by becoming a regular reader of Wired magazine, enjoyed in addition to, not in lieu of, of MAD magazine.

"Katie continues to shine in every subject area," reports her fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Shalit. "She has demonstrated growth in the revising stage of her writing [and] she actively seeks to improve her clarity and style. I thoroughly enjoy the 'twist' she adds to each written assignment."

Joey's second grade teacher, Ms. Cude calls Joey "an enthusiastic student who is strong in all areas of study. I particularly enjoy his comments and suggestions during our classroom discussions."

Mrs. Vadetsky reports that Katie continues her remarkable progress on the cello, and Joey has been bouncing along in his gymnastics class every week.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW Our annual interview with Katie and Joey continues.

OH! GINGERBREAD HOUSE by Katie Kohn Oh! gingerbread house that we made this year, it is not the sugar that brings me cheer. Though your roof is pure chocolate and a patio of marzipan, it is the love in which we made you and not your (smack) chocolate chip cookie filled land. You have a bedroom of peppermint (drool) the bathroom is Jello, the walls are gingerbread and the door is a Carmello! Oh Fine! I cannot tell a lie, the only reason I’m not eating you is I’ll get grounded if I do. But when I look at you how my tongue does swell. (Chomp!) Oh well!
