Are we sure?  Marsha, do you know?  I *do* know that a hospital LC friend of
mine approached her CEO years ago about eliminating the bags.  Her knees
were knocking, and she'd spent quite a bit of time gathering facts and
supporting studies.  But he brushed it all aside.  "We're distributing
these?  We shouldn't be doing that!"  For someone outside the issue, it was
a clearcut, straightforward case of marketing and bribery, and it stopped as
soon as the higher-up was made aware of it.
