[lbo-talk] Harper index

[Michael Pollak]

I found this in a reprinted Harper's Index that unfortunately didn't have
the footnotes that come with the original, nor the date of the original:

<quote>

"Ratio of number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq to the number who have
been airlifted out because of illness: 1:5"

<unquote>

I assume this must be from a relatively recent Harper's.  If someone has
it handy, could you tell me what the footnoted source is?  I'd like to
learn more about this stat.
