JPK ps seriously, why do you say no need for review--is it boring, not well written, obsolete, or what? James is still pretty useful, I think, and that was put out only two years later.... ******************************************* Jacob Pearson Keller Northwestern University Medical Scientist Training Program Dallos Laboratory F.
