The dictionary is correct.  I know that there is a Job Corps located in
San Marcos, TX (my hometown), and that it occupies the area that at one
time was Gary Air Force Base, then Camp Gary, and last and currently, Gary
Job Corps Center.  In addition to the vocational training the students
receive, an academic course load is also provided.

Was the use of 'under' intentional there? Usually we say 'worked for' unless
we want to give the impression that there was more than an employer/employee
relationship involved. Is that what you meant?

Thanks, Akio - that's what I wanted to know and thought that would be the most

11) GST (Carolyn)

GST is the Goods and Services Tax, that the Federal Liberal Opposition plans
to introduce if they gain power at the next election. It will replace the
current Stamp Duty paid only on luxury items and will tax products of every
description across the board at the same rate. So far they have only
compromised to exempt food and childcare.

I will miss both you and your gleanings so hurry back after having a very
pleasant holiday season.

If I thought that, which I certainly don't, then why would I have
used Hitler as an example of a person with contemptible, but deeply
held beliefs? Nor do I believe that a person with deep beliefs is
a fanatic. I do believe any belief system or situation can have its
fanatics.

Great public showers/baths in Euston station.  No - not that kind.

Don't spend too long looking for them there - they're at the Tate.

Dear WORDS-Lers all,

        I'll be here all through the holidays, although I may get a bit
behind.  I dial in from home when I don't log in at work.

        I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas, if you
celebrate Christmas as I do.  If not, happy Chanukah, joyous Yule,
special Saturnalia, or just plain have a good time!

All my best,
Tom Lee
