Thanks, Freda. After more research I see that this topic has been on Mudcat before. It's new to me, however. I'm kind of going nuts with this...buttonholing strangers, parents of my son's friends, salesclerks at local bookstores, etc., telling them about this. I don't understand why it's not on the front pages, TV news, etc. No matter where you stand politically, this is an outrage. It's hellish. Is the public anesthetised or what?
