that link didnt work jim.

BTW, i seem to recall watching a TV series about psychology since the
days of freud.  IIRC it was on C4.  now hear my memory gets even more
disjointed.  but, i *believe* the term PR, was coined because the
marketers didnt want to use the word 'propoganda'.  it was seen as a
less obvious term.


completely OT, but somewhat interesting, i saw a large wooden crate
being offloaded outside the welsh office on whitehall this afternoon.
with thte words 'raytheon' and 'M141' stamped on the side.
