As you mentioned, that's an unlikely place for it, completely out of context. The example is the same example used by Sumner in his own book, but with less detail. There is a footnote that says "From Sumner's work." The whole section takes up about 2/3 of a page. Chuck Taylor 47d 56' N 122d 11' W __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
