Mark, you are starting to sound like _USA Today._ (Average small story on
page1 below fold: "Things Getting Better and Better -- Govt Says So.")

Anyway I do recommend to check out the Hesses' remarkable book (and _then_
decide what you think of it). (If necessary I'll give you a copy of it,
you've certainly been generous in giving books to me over the years.)
