Subject: American Politics in a nutshell -- CORRECTION

From: Gregg Porter <gporter@u.washington.edu>

Our Chief Engineer at KUOW, Terry Denbrook, noted a key error 
in this chart:

> It all really just boils down to this:
> 
> ISSUE		| DEMOCRATS		| REPUBLICANS
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
> ...
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
> the cost	| $9,000,000,000,	| $29.95
> 		|    000,000,000	| (cost of one sword)

Under the Republican plan, the sword would still cost
$9,000,000,000,000,000,000, because it would be purchased under 
long-standing government defense contracts.

[And what if they went for the optional scabbard, too?  -psl]
