I have never used the -cmin option to find, but reading the man
page it says ``File's status was last changed n minutes ago.''
which I take to mean that it changed at that time if you say
something like ``-cmin 1''.  To specify change times more than a
minute, I think you nead ``-cmin +1''.  To see things that have
changed within the last minute ``-cmin -1''.

Memoirs -- Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs, and his
wife Hillary got $8 million for hers.  That's $20 million for memories from
two people who for eight years repeatedly testified  they couldn't remember
anything.
