They are, therefore, drunk as dawgs and unable to compile any useful, newsworthy or otherwise entertaining articles for this issue of the GNS. However, economic information, standings lists and other bits of news are here, as usual. They apologize for their rampant hedonism, and wish to extend heartfelt best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ========================================================================== === CARGO PRODUCTION AND STOCK INDEX This is current economic data gathered by the vast computer complexes at Megafalagon University on Earth.
