Re: [IRCA] WXXY-1600 Dover DE, format tweak

["David Faulkner" <dfdf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

John and group:

	I did a literature minor in my Ph.D. program in History at Ohio
University.  I sat classes with English Masters candidates who were teaching
the university's writing courses--and they could hardly write a simple
declarative sentence themselves.  Most of the good writing instruction at OU
was done by the History department.
