Many smokers, including my late mother, feel being unable to smoke on

Possibly, you missed it, but I posted the correct answer last Saturday
I applaud you encouraging your students to subscribe and/or even just
lurk on Usenet statistics-related sites. My point was the kid was
tickled about being able to go online, review his professor's posts,
and even post himself. Then, he gets beaten up about "netiquette."

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't you thinking of the number of

I read an article on the statistical analyses of the death penalty
vis a vis "race" many years ago which attributed the difference in
capital sentencing to the nature of the crime itself. That is to say,
if the crime were a murder "passion-related" or a crime committed
during an armed robbery.
The Census Bureau urged Commerce Secretary Don Evans on Thursday not
