Will,
	While I'm in your good graces for the moment I was wondering if I 
could sneak in a question about the SLP... .  What's the latest in your 
area and elsewhere?  Anymore union affiliations?  Anymore election results?
	BTW, I just read in the Boston Globe today that the stuff they 
put in the cattle feed that causes mad cow disease is *not* illegal 
here in the U.S. !
	Is vegetarianism looking more attractive to the masses in England?
I'm pressing the case for it here, when I get the chance, by using the mad 
cow disease info. .
