      Permit me to offer a personal testimonial:  If you do more 
statistics than just this one data set, I believe you will be amply 
rewarded for investing money and time in that book.  The value of this 
investment will be further enhanced by working line by line (as you read 
the text) through the files "ch01.R", "ch02.R", ..., "ch06.R" and 
"ch08.R" in "~library\nlme\scripts" in your R installation directory.
