I think you're right, Don, I'd take pensions clean out of the formula ... at
least pensions in the usual sense of the word. Some pension "funds" are
backed by securities of some sort, but most simply promise to use current company
assets to keep paying pensioner benefits. What we saw this year in company
bankruptcies to shed themselves of such things as pension obligations is only the
beginning.
