[Air-l] The No-Book Report: Skim It and Weep

[Steve Jones]

Interesting coincidence, this story, given this obituary from last week:

CLIFF HILLEGASS, 83, founder and former president of "Cliffs Notes," 
whose study guides helped generations of students through literature 
classes; he founded "Cliffs Notes" in 1958 with a $4,000 loan and 
wrote the guides in the basement of his home; in 1999, he sold 
"Cliffs Notes" to IDG Books Worldwide for $14 million; May 5, in 
Lincoln, Neb.
