MILLION, BILLION, TRILLION - WHAT's THE DIFFERENCE?

Last's week's item about the archives of Riggs Bank stated: "The
records show how Riggs collected $7.2 billion in gold for the
federal government's purchase of Alaska..."

Bob Leonard writes: "Little mistake in the original source here
--that was million, not "billion" as given in the Post-Gazette."
