Yes; and adds to my knowledge about a subject that has been discussed
here before.

In passing, I was amused by two, definitely minor, bits:

1)  Just what "pleasantries" did Obama exchange with his Puerto Rican

2)  Re the "Correction" -- when does a "largest ethnic minority"
become the "largest ethnic group"?
