I couldn't help but respond to G.Camfield's presumably hyperbolic
rhetorical question here--Does this mean that we are now to pay children
for the work they do at school?--by saying that I heard today that N.
Gingrich's ed. plan calls for exactly that--paying students for reading
books.  I think I heard that--on PBS this morning.  Or was I only having a
nightmare?

And, has anyone seen Pleasantville, the movie? The highlight for us on this
list, and really the most exciting scene in the movie, is the one in which
a book used to show how (Americans') minds can be opened--and what book is
it?? _Adv. of Huck. Finn_.
