In the first tip that was ever posted here, "The DDC's Role in U.S. Presidential Elections," you said: "Sometime between November 7, 2000, and January 20, 2001, we will rush out a posting confirming these numbers and the winner's name." Given what is happening in the news right now, what is the status of that posting?

A timely question indeed. The outcome of the U.S. presidential election may still be undecided, but the Dewey Decimal Classification has identified the number for the administration of the 43rd president of the United States: 973.931. The number for the historical period of each administration usually carries the caption: Administration of [name of president], date. In this case, the caption will simply read "Administration of 43rd president, 2001- " until the final result of the 2000 election is determined. Click here to see our official posting.
