Hi everybody!

I?ve been completely delighted to find the acs package and the treasure
trove of data it opens up.  (So far, in my experience, it opens more
questions than anything else, but so it goes?)

However, I don?t see the acs.fetch function as returning any information
about ?Table Universe?. This page contains a crucial bit of information for
interpreting the counts in the table:
http://censusreporter.org/tables/B09010/ <
http://censusreporter.org/tables/B09010/> My question: is there any way,
apart from screen scraping this website, that I could access the fact that
table B09010 contains counts of the ?Population Under 18 Years in
Households??

John
