Summary: 

I also saw a new edition of Cuppy's _The Decline and Fall of Just About 
Everyone_ the other day.  I highly recommend it to anyone who wants light
funny reading. I read somewhere a description of Cuppy's method of preparation
for the pieces in this book which went something like "He read everything
that had ever been written on the subject and threw out everything that
wasn't obviously rediculous".  This is the history (true history at that)
that never got into your high school history book.

(As an example, If Cuppy were writing about say President Carter some centuries
in the future, I would expect to find a mention of Carter's attack rabbit)
