That's right mountain grammy. I've never been the same since reading that book. I have two copies of it (paperbacks) and tried to give one away on here one time...no takers. Figure that out...cause I'm not even going to try. I read it once, all the way through and have sworn that I would read it again... you know how you miss something the first time through? But I have so many other books to read! Don't need to read it again, as I got it the the first time. This one book tells the result of Milton Freidman's Chicago big business ideas. Don't get me going...
