_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     There are three 'freeny' data sets.

     'freeny.y' is a time series with 39 observations on quarterly
     revenue from (1962,2Q) to (1971,4Q).

     'freeny.x' is a matrix of explanatory variables.  The columns are
     'freeny.y' lagged 1 quarter, price index, income level, and market
     potential.

     Finally, 'freeny' is a data frame with variables 'y',
     'lag.quarterly.revenue', 'price.index', 'income.level', and
     'market.potential' obtained from the above two data objects.
