> How the hell do you get it to do a real union?

Heh. Intuitive ArcMap is not. It took me forever to figure it out as well. You 
can do a union a couple different ways. The way that seemed to work the best 
for this is to:
 
1) Run ArcMap
2) Add the shapefile to your map
3) Open the edit toolbar.
4) Click on Start Editing.
5) Select the entire dataset by left clicking and then dragging a rectangle 
around the geometry.
6) Select Union from the menu on the edit toolbar.
 
You should see the union happen right before your eyes.
 
I think I tried the Union Tool like you did and didn't get what I expected. I 
think it just did a union on each individual feature instead of doing an 
aggregate union.
