In -makematrix- periods are zapped deliberately
from variable labels. This is explicitly
commented on in the code. The reason is that -matrix-
falls over given periods that don't look like
time series operators. So, this is a work-around
to deal with a limitation of -matrix-.
You don't have to be a programmer to look at
Stata programs and try to work out what's going
on.

My question deals with a little detail in -label var-.
I do the following:
label var1 varname1 "% indep. in committee"
label var2 ...
