...localized Bammies, or Bay Area Music Awards, honoring similarly lackluster of musicians from the once-trendsetting city of San Francisco. Other cities of equally dubious musical importance followed suit.

The answer -- from the array of Governors, particle physicists, academicians and university officials lining up for congressional hearings this week to speak in favor of the appropriation of a $36 million down payment for the superconducting supercollider -- is yes, yes, 4.4 billion times...
