PLAYING WITH THE NUMBERS

Richard A. Stimson

EPRN D222.S222.Z222

Released October 2000 - How So-called Experts Mislead Us About the Economy. Stimson gives an engaging, guided tour of the self-congratulatory corruption purporting to serve the public interest in every aspect of government and private enterprise that concerns itself with money. Guardedly apolitical, splendidly-researched, referenced, and indexed, this is a deeply disturbing but profoundly important book. Price includes applicable Maine sales tax.

Terry Burns

EPRN D222.B222.Z222

Released August 2000 - You think cowboys don't eat quiche or have feelings or care about much of anything except a tall, blonde (horse).
