Here is the introduction to tomorrow's edition:

LOOKING for astrological metaphors to explain the feeling of the times we're living in, I keep coming back to Neptune in Aquarius. Yesterday, researching a different subject -- corporations and a form of government called corporatism -- I found a recent sociological study that to me reveals the essence of Neptune in Aquarius. The research, published last month, shows that more people have nobody to talk to about important matters. Indeed, it was the most common response, or "mode" in the study. Of those people who do share the intimate details of their lives with others, the number of confidants declined from nearly three to two over the past 20 years.

"Discussion networks are smaller in 2004 than in 1985," the researchers say. "The number of people saying there is no one with whom they discuss important matters nearly tripled. The mean [overall average] network size decreases by about a third (one confidant), from 2.94 in 1985 to 2.08 in 2004. The modal [most common condition] respondent now reports having no confidant; the modal respondent in 1985 had three confidants."
