In essence, hindsight justification.  The progressives weren't in the
middle, they were in a society at one end and they wanted a society at
the other end.  The middle is more or less where they got stopped.
As to an intervention that worked, I actually have some nice things to
say about the SEC, at least in theory.  I have a few nasty things to say
as well, but on the whole it has been a very good thing.

I really wanted to go to this, especially to look at XOPUS.
Unfortunately, we're launching a new intranet at work next week and I
couldn't get away. XOPUS + an XML native DB such as Xindice looks like
