Holy Shr"^[A-Z\s&]+$"  One line of parsing!

I was figuring a few list comprehensions would do it - this is better.

(note: the reason I specified 'spaces around ampersand' is so it would
remove 'Q&A' if that ever came up - but some people write 'Q & A', so
I'll live with that exception, or try to tweak it myself.

You're the man, man.

Thank you!
