I said:

>I believe this quote was made by Samuel Clemens (AKA Mark Twain):

>There are three kinds of lies:  lies, damn lies, and statistics.

And was corrected by Michael Berkowitz:

>Although this has popularly been attibuted to Twain, it is British Prime
Minister >Benjamin Disraeli that is credited with the quote.

Another excellent resource from this list.  I am constantly amazed by the
depth of knowledge and experience here.  Thanks, Mike, and all the rest of
you, who thanks to the HP3000, have the time for non-essentials like this!
