   Nikki -- sorry to wait so long to acknowledge this book.  I just 
finished it and more than share you positive account.  This Paul Elie is 
a super find.  He doesn't pull any punches.

I hope to make it to the WP symposium this year and would really like to 
set some time aside for us to have dinner and/or grab a drink.

Allbest wishes -- Dave Duty
