The people listed in the Year 2000 Who's Who of Has-Beens are completely fictional, as is the nation herein termed the United States of Ameria. Here and there in the listing, readers may encounter names or descriptions which remind them of living has-beens. Such instances should be regarded as purely coincidental and should not be interpreted as a comment on, or criticism of, the living has-been to which the reader's imagination has created a fanciful connection. Okay?
