| I am a student, trying to figure out how to perform a one argument
| operation on individual list elements, returning a list with the same
| level structure:
| 
| (ImHosed #'numberp '((1) ((a)) 3 4 (b)))   -> returns    ((T) ((NIL)) T
| T (NIL))
| 
| I am not sure if this a suitable post for this group. Apologies if this
| is not.

  You should say something about what you have tried.  For instance, do you
  know of a function that maps over the cars of a list?  Do you know of a
  function that find the first non-cons car of a cons?

  The United Nations before and after the leadership of Kofi Annan are two
  very different organizations.  The "before" United Nations did not deserve
  much credit and certainly not a Nobel peace prize.  The "after" United
  Nations equally certainly does.  I applaud the Nobel committee's choice.
