	Thanks.  Right now I'm SI'ing History 172, early american.  We just
finished working on Andrew Jackson and the bank crash, which gave me all
kinds of ideas for a possible MP plotline.  
	BTW:  I'm modeling one of the Lonestar politicians after Jackson, as a
tribute.  The guy could probably have eaten a blue undead for lunch and
had Krell for dinner.
