By way of conclusion, here's a thought problem for some dogmatic
readers. I no longer worry about not having a slip in the landing
arsenal of the ship I have most of my time in. Oh, it'll slip just
fine, but its descent rate in a non-turning slip is significantly less
than what it generates in the slip's absence. How can this be???

Are you considering the descent rate in the slip *without* flaps all the
way out? If not, then maybe the airspeed gets so low in a slip, because
the Zoo-knee (or is it Zoo-nye?...only in Denver I guess ;-) ), that
the vertical vector is smaller in the slip.
