Ask Tom(ahawk)

Blackstone, who carried the torch for an earlier era of magic that thrilled generations before TV, died Wednesday, May 14, 1997.  He was 62.  Blackstone died at Loma Linda University Medical Center, apparently from complications of pancreatic cancer after being admitted to the hospital April 21, said San Bernardino County Deputy Coroner Carl Morrow.

Mornin'. I have an AM meeting but I will be back with some thoughts on Rafael Nadal and his ancestry (in the game) later today. Meanwhile, fellow senior editor Tom Perrotta, on the ground in Melbourne, will be fielding questions in an exclusive Q-and-A session for TennisWorld readers, over at his String Theory blog. As you well know, Tom has magical powers of prognostication, and has been known to perform feats of levitation and sundry acts of legerdemain.

Here's how it works: Go to String Theory and the post with the same title as this one. Post your question in the Comments. You have until around 5 PM today, because Tom will answer them first thing in the morning (Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of us).Tom will do his best to answer all the questions, so please try to keep them on-target (the tournament).

You can move the Crisis Center discussion over here now. Enjoy!
