Thanks Alan. Anybody watch Frontline?

Dear John,
Thanks for your email.
I don't know if anybody
watches Frontline.
But everybody should.
Whatever the topic, they do
an excellent job "following the money." It may even be their
prime directive.
But it's hard to follow the
money: How many of us want to play "Strip Search The Body Cavities of Rich
White Men?"
