OK, but how do I indicate the appropriate element to come up according 
to the week of year?

I think it would be way too complicated to pull off the more I think 
about it, in some years it would be "week ending Jan. 1, Jan. 8, Jan. 
15...," then in another one it would be something like "week ending Jan. 
3, Jan. 11, Jan. 17...."

For each of the 5 groups (1970/75, 1971/76, 1972/1977, 1973/1978 and 
1974/1979), I would need to indicate a firm date (plus 7 days since it's 
"week ending...") to pull up the appropriate element, I guess.
