Gee, sorry Allan. The article says "_The New York Times_ plans to

call the years 2000 through 2009 the Ohs. `It is literal, logical

and, even more than positive, it portends what Paul Simon's lyric

calls `the age of miracle and wonder,'' says an editorial in the

newspaper." It doesn't give a date for said editorial.
