Nothing in his personal experience prepares him even to differentiate between $1 billion, $10 billion or $100 billion. All are equally meaningless", Morton said.

Finally, the paper announced in a September 29 editorial that "Today we are adopting a new stylebook. Thru, tho and thoro are abandoned.
