[Vision2020] CAXTON PRESS STEPS FORWARD WITH MANAGEMENT ALTERNATIVE FOR UI

[Carl Westberg]

And after all, we liberal scoundrels need to stick together.  We need a new, 
unifying, bonding topic with which we can agree and all come together as 
one.  Um, how about that George W. Bush, huh?                                
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
                 Carl Westberg Jr.
