Even that can be debated when you consider how much the really successful papers/magazines earn per year compared to what they pay their talent. Just thought I would point that out. Lisa,

Here in GA micro is $1.00 (it is what we typically give for tree preservation with our water bill). But then we are a state in bad shape, - though not as bad as Detroit.
