[Rhodes22-list] Tack Tact Tactics

[stan]

not apropos of the subject but to the remote mention of "gals", I see that 
Cindy Spitzer's new book (albeit only a 40% financial interest)  "America's 
Bubble Economy", is being promoted by John Willey and Sons on the internet, 
so move over Bill.

first time Rose and I have been mentioned in an acknowledgment.
