     Andy,

     I'm not saying that this is the exact "order" that these things have to
be in.  The paper I used to freelance for, started every article off with the
name of the town the story was from.  So WHERE was taken car of right off the
bat.  WHO, usually came next, followed by WHAT, WHY and WHEN, and sometimes
HOW.  Order isn't as important in Pyrimid writing so much as just making sure
that all the bases are covered.  (Forgive me.  Apparently Dominique's sports
talk has caused me to be stuck in sport mode.  I don't even like baseball! ;-)
