Hi. gang,

Several people have asked about the Kaiser Permanente study (which found kids
BFed for at least 6 months averaged $1435 less health care cost in the first
year
of life.  Jim Hughes of Sanvita Systems e-mailed me the study in Wordperfect 6
format, and graciously gave permission for me to send it to anyone who wants a
copy.  Since WP can save files in a variety of formats, I can easily send it
in the
format people need, if they can't handle it in Wordperfect.  I don't think
it will look
very good in plain text, since it uses tables, but if someone needs it that
way, I'll
try.  As a last resort, I can send a printed copy snail-mail.

I'm not posting it, because it's long (4 or 5 pages), and has to be sent as an
attached file to keep it in pretty form.  (If a ton of people request it,
I'll ask
Kathy B for permission).  (It would also look good in HTML, if someone wanted
to translate it (hint hint)).

Jonathan
