	Long ago there was a TV show called 'Truth or Consequences,'
and some poor guy got the consequence of haning to go all over the
country and find a town that would change its name to Truth or
Consequences.  He found some boring little town on the Rio Grande, in
New Mexico (the name escapes me, something like Silver Water, Spring
Water, Salty Spring, whatever) and they changed the name.  It is now
usually called TorC.
