/* basic.css - 

As simple and plain as can be. No one oohs and ahhs at format, any more than anyone 
leaves an opera whistling the scenery;  brilliant metaphors, taut, gripping prose, 
and, above all - data they can use - is the key. 

Black text, off-white background. Blue links, too. Plain and simple.  After what I said 
in whyfont.html, I couldn't set the font, even though I like Arial; it isn't about
me, as they say.
