I don't think so. --clh] Greeley's lack of credibility, as unfair as it might be rests on two things. One is his view of human sexuality and the other is the fact that he writes novels. I've only read one of his sociological works so I can't comment on him too much, but the one work I did read was quite interesting although I don't agree with all of his ideas myself. -dh --- Don Hosek TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont support, consulting dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu installation and production work. dhosek@ymir.bitnet Free Estimates. uunet!jarthur!ymir Phone: 714-625-0147 finger dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu for more info
