Lew, 
	1.26 degrees is still a mighty small area!

This has been an extremely interesting thread, folks! Thanks
to Wayne, George, Jim et al for the discussion. But the size
of the Perseid radiant in particular was a real surprise to
me: obviously, this is a VERY well-studied stream, so radiant
spread is clearly due to a wide diversity of orbital elements
among the stream particles themselves as opposed to errors or
uncertainties in measurement.

So why DO the PERs have such spread in orbital elements??
