 ABSTRACT = {In this article, we sketch procedures for taking the census, making
             adjustments, and evaluating the results. Despite what you read in
             the newspapers, the census is remarkably accurate. Statistical
             adjustment is unlikely to improve on the census, because adjustment
             can easily put in more error than it takes out. Indeed, error rates
             in the adjustment turn out to be comparable to errors in the
             census. The data suggest a strong geographical pattern to such
             errors, even after controlling for demography---which contradicts a
             basic premise of adjustment. The complex demographic controls built
             into the adjustment mechanism turn out to be counter-productive.
             Proponents of adjustment have cited \u201closs function analysis
             \u201d to compare the accuracy of the census and adjustment,
             generally to the advantage of the latter. However, the chosen
             analyses make assumptions that are highly stylized, and quite
             favorable to adjustment. With more realistic assumptions, loss
             function analysis is neutral, or favors the census. At the heart of
             the adjustment mechanism, there is a large sample survey---the post
             enumeration survey. The size of the survey cannot be justified. The
             adjustment process now consumes too large a share of the Census
             Bureau's scarce resources, which should be reallocated to other
             Bureau programs.},

             Using demographic microsimulations, we show that the new, lower
             projections of the HIV/AIDS epidemic still imply that $8\%$ of
             Thais over the age of 50 in 1995 will lose one or more children to
             AIDS before their own deaths. The proportion of all losses which
             are multiple losses can vary from $12\%$ to $33\%$ under a range of
             assumptions about plausible family-to-family heterogeneity in risks
             of infection.},
