   Good point! I do not have information on how "The World factbook
92." determines literacy. I got this file at University of Maryland
Gopher. I know I can get a hardcopy in libraries at our school.
   At any rate, depending how we define "literacy," it can be 100%
or even 50%. All right! How come I did not get this simple answer
by my self? :-(
   Then when we see 'nation' as a unit of analysis, we have to be
very precise what literacy is measuring. It seems like "literacy
rate" is not a good variable to measure nation's development.

   Well..well. I learned something new tonight. Thanks. :-)
