Footnotes

*

This month's POSTERMINARIES is particularly shallow and silly. As such, it establishes a point of reference for a new breed of surveyor that has been visited upon us. They are the soldiers of the quality revolution who go about benchmarking everything in sight. The only defense is to serve up to the invading hoards a standard of performance that leaves more than ample room for continuous improvement by anyone's choice of metric. Voilà!
