acs.lookup is really a pretty crude tool -- most helpful when you know<br>
the table number and just want to see the variable names, or when you<br>
are looking for some particular needle in the haystack (e.g., variable<br>
about the "Urdu" language). Other than that, you just get too many<br>
hits, as you note.<br>
<br>
Probably a better source would be th CensusReporter site at<br>
