I would like to spend 5 min on this during this week's class, so I would like all of you to be familiar with the issues. For those of you that are not already familiar with this, here are two sources you can read: http://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/30/world/30EURO.html http://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/30/world/30BRIT.html --- Jonathan
