     Thanks to you, the Internet community, we have reached our goal
     of 50,000 messages and Houghton Mifflin Interactive has donated
     2,000 books to hospitalized children who can't be home for the
     holidays. In recognition of the amazing and voluminous show of
     support from people all over the world, HMI has sent an additional
     500 books to these children. As of January 1, 1997, the campaign
     is officially over and we've closed the Share the Spirit inbox
     on this web site as well as the mailbox for share@hmco.com.

PLEASE, do research before posting this sort of stuff.
