<sigh> point of personal privilege
As I stated in my original post the numbers are from an article in
the Chicago Sun Times of that date. Second or third page in.
It doesn't matter if the number is zero, if the number was 10 it
would still be less by a factor of 60+ and the point would be
equally valid.
