Interesting stuff (an admiral's base pay is $68,700, full professors average $47,000 in private institutions); but access is difficult. Gallup reports 28% of Americans went to the library at least once a month, but the index lacks "library"; this figure is accessible under "reading" which also notes that 40% read in the bathroom. A fun browse, a frustrating reference. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
