Give to universities: A VERY GOOD IDEA.  I recomend CLARKSON, Potsdam NY
for a couple of hunderd copies.

I would think anyone working in the state of Washington would get VERY
UPSET at plundering our natural resources for something as trivial as 
a smeared cover.  

Get these books spread into universities and open some minds.  Maby in
the next decade we can stamp out COBOL once and for all.
