Parameters and abundances for 1133 stars of spectral types F, G, and K of luminosity class III have been derived. In terms of stellar parameters, the primary point of interest is the disagreement between gravities derived with masses determined from isochrones, and gravities determined from an ionization balance. This is not a new result per se; but the size of this sample emphasizes the severity of the problem. A variety of arguments lead to the selection of the ionization balance gravity as…
