I'm not interested in A2, which was old news to me. I'm interested in ZA. I 
can never get too much ZA. By the way, my secretary today told me that she had 
been to Arkansas to "see the rents." I thought that that clipping had died out 
in the 1970s. She is under 25 and about to enroll in the Duke Divinity 
School.
