(Hi Steve!)

Yes.  Many people have now corrected me, and I apologize for posting wrong 
info (fortunately not too harmful).  To quote the Adobe type catalog, 
"First drawn under the direction of Stanley Morison in 1931 as a newspaper 
type for "The Times" of London, Times Roman has become the second most 
popular typeface in the world..."
