   For the people you helped feed, it made a dent, I bet.  It's the doing,   
   I'm told, not the results . . .

   Mmm, too true -- my husband, a man with a strong literary background,   
   has spent a good deal of his professional time untangling and revising   
   horrible lawyer-ese by other lawyers, which adds to the expense but   
   also can resolve a whole lot.  He's studying mediation now, which he   
   likes a lot better -- more theater, less paper B.S.
