Is the degree as important as the knowledge? I have a PhD, but so do several hundred thousand other Americans. I'll definitely download it. Something to read when I'm in a nursing home hooked to a cyborg nurse someday. OFF TOPIC: U(you) C(see) Lotsa Asians there, too, but my worst two memories of UCLA was when Troy Aikman strode onto the Cotton Bowl field in 1989? and whipped Arkansas all day. And the second was the '95 NCAA final? when UCLA also whomped the Razorbacks. Ah well, at least it wasn't USC, and the Bruins have great school colors. Okay, that’s incredible.
