Actually, I did incorporate some of your suggestions in the final 
version, Mort.  I didn't use the emendation that seemed to suggest that 
all America's wars were driven by the corporate economy.

And, as we discussed, I preferred the Webster3 definition of 
"enterprise" to that of the OED --in part because I think there's a 
difference in the British and American uses of the word.

And I knew you wouldn't be too upset if my text was offensive to 
libertarians...  --CGE
