	Question from Fil:
	Centrality challenge: today as I was teaching about closeness
	and betweenness centrality in class, a student asked for an
	example of a network where the node with highest closeness
	centrality is not also the one with highest betweenness. I
	could not think of a simple example. Anyone?
