 * Hi
 * I have a set of related pages. They each need to pull data from the database,
   but slightly different SQL query, depending on the page. I’ve created a template
   for these pages, and it works fine.
 * Is the page slug or title in a variable that I can use in the page template? 
   I’m picturing something like:
 * – if $page = $such-and-such, run SQL_query_x
    – elseif $page = $so-and-so, run
   SQL_query_y
 * I should mention I’ve looked at plugins to get this functionality, but for one
   reason and another, plugins are not the way to go for me at this time, and I 
   want to try something else. Can it be done? How can I get to which page is being
   loaded?
 * Thank you!
 * Ernie Bornheimer
