WRONG Milo, m'dear! We SHOULD have asked for... DEMANDED.... M*O*R*E than $950 million! And THEN graciously "settled" for the lesser sum of $950 million! <grin> Remember - THINK BIG!!!!! Think BIG, m'friend, 'cause THAT'S what's gonna put this damnable disease in the history books as something that USED to be a scourge of humankind.

To Barbara, Wasn't one of Parkinson's Laws something like .....The time spent by a governing body deliberating an expenditure is inversely proportional to the amount of money involved? (My CD encyclopedia tells me that Cyril Northcote Parkinson wrote a satirical book entitled Parkinson's Law in 1957.) We s h o u l d have asked for 950 million! You would have thought that a group of PDers would have known better! Your suggestion was humorus but not too funny to be true. Milo Frey
