        I'm not sure if any of you have seen this already, but one of my
students gave me a photocopy of "Clinton's Simplified 1040 Form" yesterday
evening (ASIDE:  for some reason, an overwhelming majority of my students
believe I am a conservative.  Either my efforts at "balance" have been
successful, or they are not paying attention to the lectures.  Val, you and I
have met, do I look THAT much like a Republican?).  Although a Clinton
supporter, I had to admit that it was pretty creative.  It looks quite a bit
like a real 1040, so recreating it here will lose some of the effect, but I
will do my best:
