A recent paper from Google Labs, interesting in many respects, not the
least the exclusive use of R for data analysis and graphics (alas not

Perhaps some of the eminences grises of the R Foundation could prevail
upon Google to make some the data reported in the paper available for
inclusion in an R library or two, for pedagogical purposes?
