[Jacob-list] the perfect sheep/ anita evangelista

[Linda]

Sounds like a 'perfect' girl to me.  

I was browsing through the JacobList archives today looking for the Anita Evangelista article.  It's been posted to the list a couple of times.  I couldn't find it  in the archives and lost it during a computer crash.  Does anyone still have it?  It's worth reading every so often.
