Show *J> *h > - Last Word This book started more than a year ago-more like five. It's fact now, no longer dream. It's real and it has real meaning for real people. It almost died. It's changing-going through a metamorphosis. It will not be the same next year. It's not the same as last year's. It can't be. It's still got some tradition, a dirty word.

In some ways it feels good to be a has-been. *} 1 V V |
