For those who would like to read the whole article, which is delightful, it
was published in _The Washington Post_ on Sunday, May 2, and is available,
complete, online at www.washingtonpost.com. The article is in the "Outlook"
(editorial) section on p. B5. Bob Hirschfeld also has a web site,
www.bobsfridge.com, where he writes facetious versions of the news.
