Economic Memo: No sure thing
in economics
Seattle Times, March 11, 2001; Stephen Dunphy / Times staff columnist

that you can usually tell what has happened in the
past but have few clues about what's ahead. It's

a clear view of where you have been but
provides no information that you are steaming
toward the rocks.

Census 2000 information is rolled out.
