There was a discussion of a recently published book on PBS's
"ALL Things Considered" a few days ago.  The book debunked
many common myths, such as the existence of alligators in
the New York sewers, and Mussolini's ability to make the
trains run on time.  Unfortunately, I missed both the title
and author of the book, frustrating my attempts to locate it
in book stores.  If anyone knows the title or author, please
inform me by mail.  Send mail if you want information about
book, too.  I will either respond by mail, or, if there appears
to be wide interest, I'll post my findings to this net group.
