Those of you who watched the news last night saw <br>
the furor over Harry Reid's remarks about Barack <br>
Obama, and William Steele's use of "Honest Injun."<br><br>
I know the phrase "Honest Injun" and "Injun" <br>
appear in a lot of children's books, so took an <br>
hour of my time this morning to note a few examples.<br><br>
I was really surprised to find it in the new book <br>
THE EVOLUTION OF CALPURNIA TATE.<br><br>
Anyway... if you're interested in my cursory study, go to<br>
