   DeMorgan's theorem
  
      A logical {theorem} which states that the {complement}
      of a {conjunction} is the {disjunction} of the complements or
      vice versa.   In symbols:
  
      not (x and y) = (not x) or (not y)
      not (x or y)   = (not x) and (not y)
  
      E.g. if it is not the case that I am tall and thin then I am
      either short or fat (or both).   The theorem can be extended to
      combinations of more than two terms in the obvious way.
  
      The same laws also apply to sets, replacing logical complement
      with set complement, conjunction ("and") with set
      intersection, and disjunction ("or") with set union.
  
      A ({C}) programmer might use this to re-write

   Economy
  
   Overview: This thoroughly modern economy features high-tech
   agriculture, up-to-date small-scale and corporate industry, extensive
   government welfare measures, comfortable living standards, and high
   dependence on foreign trade. Denmark is self-sufficient in food
   production. The new center-left coalition government will concentrate
   on reducing the persistent high unemployment rate and the budget
   deficit as well as following the previous government's policies of
   maintaining low inflation and a current account surplus. In the face
   of recent international market pressure on the Danish krone, the
   coalition has also vowed to maintain a stable currency. The coalition
   hopes to lower marginal income taxes while maintaining overall tax
   revenues; boost industrial competitiveness through labor market and
   tax reforms and increased research and development funds; and improve
   welfare services for the neediest while cutting paperwork and delays.
   Prime Minister RASMUSSEN's reforms will focus on adapting Denmark to
   the criteria for European integration by 1999; although Copenhagen has
   won from the European Union (EU) the right to opt out of the European
   Monetary Union (EMU) if a national referendum rejects it. Denmark is,
   in fact, one of the few EU countries likely to fit into the EMU on
   time. Denmark is weathering the current worldwide slump better than
   many West European countries. After posting 4.5% real GDP growth in
   1994, Copenhagen is predicting a continued strong showing in 1995,
   with real GDP up by 3.2%. The government expects an upswing in
   business investment in 1995 to drive economic growth. Although
   unemployment is high, it remains stable compared to most European
   countries.
