Roy, it looks like the panel of experts put together by the Royal Society,
figure they can't trust anything from overseas.  So, European standards -
Swiss, Austrian, Polish, Russian - not serious.  And when the chips are
down, they turn to the government of the good ol' U.S. of A.

When are we going to break out of these North American blinders?
