Where I'm coming from, and where I'd like to go
2000: State-level support (orange) or opposition (green) on school vouchers, relative to the national average of 45% support Income under $20,000 $20-40,000 $40-75,000 $75-150,000 Over $150,000 All voters White Catholics White evangelicals White non-evang. Protestants White other/ no religion Blacks Hispanics Other races Orange and green colors correspond to states where support for vouchers was greater or less than the national average. The seven ethnic/religious cagetories are mutually exclusive. "Evangelicals" includes Mormons as well as born-again Protestants. Where a category represents less than 1% of the voters of a state, the state is left blank.

The first set isn’t bad–it goes much beyond what I could’ve done even four years ago–but I think the second set is much improved (thanks to Yair and others).
While all this was happening, I...
also was learning more about decision analysis. In particular, Dave Krantz convinced me that the central unit of decision analysis is not the utility function or even the decision tree but rather the goal.
Applying this idea to the present discussion: what is the goal of a graph? There can be several, and there’s no reason to suppose that the graph that is best for achieving one of these goals will be optimal, or even good, for another.
