To steal a line from Publisher's Clearinghouse:  "That's what *I* used to
think!"  Then I heard that ADA (American Disabilities Act) requirements
suggest that the easiest thing for people who are visually impaired to read
is *sans*-serif (i.e. helvetica), even for body copy.  We all want to be
accessible, so what's the solution?
