ANOTHER NOSTRUM:  "retailers, stop price fixing".  A story which has not
been well reported involves findings of price fixing among large retailers
and cd companies.  I heard the story on NPR and I do not want to say too
much about it because I might get details wrong.  I do know that the
attorney general of New York was moving to capture a share of the ill
gotten gains and figure out what to do with it.  SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS!!!
