michael, OT *** 37 years ago Thanks for the reminder. It means that today's 40 year olds probably don't remember. I hadn't thought of it that way. Gottfried

The comment about JFK being gone exactly 37 years is interesting. I think every "era" has a punctuation mark. JFK's asassination was the punctuation to the "Leave it to Beaver" 1950's era. Nixon's resignation was the punctuation to the radical 1960's/Vietnam era. The swearing in of Ronald Reagan/End of the Iran Hostage Crisis was the punctuation to the disco-stagflation-gas lines 1970's era. The Gulf War was the punctuation to the Reagan-Early Bush era. Impeachment turned out to be a NON-punctuation but I suspect this non-election will be the punctuation to something. Hopefully NOT the great bull market. Daryll40
