They still pack quite a punch.

When I was in college there was an assistant history prof who had a grant to collect and preserve the myriad of plays that the WPA commissioned during the Depression. A great many artists and writers worked for the WPA, which was one of FDR's pet projects if I remember this history prof correctly. I'll write to a couple of college buddies to ask them if they remember more about the preservation project.

Would a willingness to bet nickels to numchucks thus indicate a certainty that your answer was wrong?
