>From Jon Carroll's column in the Sept. 13, 1990 issue of the San
Francisco Chronicle:

A correction from the pages of the Fresno Bee: "An item in
Thursday's Nation Digest about the Massachusetts budget crisis made
reference to new taxes that will help put Massachusetts 'back in the
African-American.' The item should have said 'back in the black.'"

Yes, friends, the "search and replace" function in your word
processor is not a toy; please engage mind before pressing keys.

A nice warning in light of Robert Blackmun's report on the uses of
computers.
