You are right if you noticed that in the show, they never 
eliminated the swiss cheese effect. This is entirely my assumption.
After all, they never tried to leap anyone since they leaped Bingo
Calavicci and Sam into Al.
	Finkelberry is a generic name used by Jews when they want to
give an example without hurting anyone they know. The setting the Jury
leaped into is describing the Jewish religious holiday of Passover.
	The next part will most likely not come out for a while. This
part can be considered the ending of a sub-story within this story.
The very ending of this part is a reference to that same dream.

	Sam hesetated for quite a while. Leaping someone is a very
dangerous thing even with the advancements such as being able to leap
someone into a particular person in a particular time so that they
stay there and do not continue to leap around, or even minimize loss
of memory due to leaping. Finally, he agreed. After all, as much as 
his life could depend on it.
	It was hard to reprogram the imaging chamber so that Sam *and*
Al could communicate with the judge and *all* of the Jurors. However,
after a while, they did it. Sam went back to the conference room to
tell everyone that all was ready. He lead them to the accelerator and
quickly entered a well memorized top secret clearance code. As they 
came in, Al commanded Gooshie to get the accelerator on line. The he 
said with a laugh to the company in question, "Time to experience the 
magic." The whole lot stepped into the accelerator... and vanished.

	Gooshie was in charge of picking the people who they leaped 
into. He leaped them into members of the Finkelberry extended family
who lived together in one big house.
	The blue light faded away as Judge Bob and his jury found
themselves at a big table covered with a white table cloth. On it, 
were different dishes and three Mazzot covered by a cloth.
	Sam and Al appeared as holograms and Al said, "So what do you
think? Is this reeal enough? This is April 1999 and you can now prove
that this changing history stuff really works by saving Hershel here
who will break his back by slipping on a puddle of spilled salt water
and being paralized for life after opening the door to... Elijah the
prophet, a religious custom."
	Just as Al finished, All the leapers heard Hershel (as they 
found out soon his name was) say, "It is now time for me to open he
door for Elijah the Prophet." Jerry, one of the jurors, yelled, "Be 
careful Hershel! Uh, there is a puddle of spilled salt water on the
floor near the door. At the last minute, Hershel looked and said, 
"Why thanks, Yankel. I could have fallen over and hurt myself."
	Just as Hershel opened the door and the whole family started
to sing "Eliyahu HaNovi" (Elijah the Prophet), Al said, "Good job.
Gooshie! Ready to retrieve!"
*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *
	The retrieval went as planned and nothing went wrong. Judge 
Bob, upon everyone returning to the conference room, said, "Suppose I
believe you. And I do. But how do I know you are actually fixing 
things, Dr. Beckett?"
	After much debating, the court agreed to let the project run 
for one more yar. "But next year, you better prove *you* change 
history, Dr. Beckett!"
	Ziggy said, "All your conditions are fullfilled, Doctor 
Beckett . You should leap any minute now." Sam put on a firmi suit, 
but did not leap. Suddenly, he thought of something. He picked up the
phone and dialed Elk Ridge, Indiana. He had a long sentimental talk 
with his brother, sister, and father, who were all indeed alive and 
well. He said how much he misses them and that he'll be back. Just as
he hung up, the familiar blue light enveloped him.
*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *
	The blue light faded as sam saw himself coming out of what 
looked like a theater. As he stepped out into the freezing air, Sam
slipped on the ice and fell down luckily not hurting himself. "Oh boy"
