Summary: Credit and correct title


This little gem previously appeared in the Journal of Irreproducible
Results.  I don't know what issue; I have it in a Best of the JIR
collection.  The real title is "Impure Mathematics".  No author is given
in the normal style, but it is marked as "submitted by" Richard A. Gibbs.

To forestall a couple of other likely comments: the duplicated subject
line in the item was caused by a bug in postnews for which the fix was
posted recently; and subscriptions to the JIR are now $4.50, $6.50 outside
the USA, for 4 issues = 4/5 year, from Box 234, Chicago Heights, IL 60411.

   "Take the phrase, `You shall have no other gods before me.'  Not only
    is this unclear, but we are troubled by the absence of measurable
    behavioral objectives.  How will you know whether this is being
    accomplished?  Do you plan to administer pre- and post-tests, or
    some kind of peer review?"  -- James E. Mignard in JIR
