Thanks, Jim. I couldn't obtain an on-line version of the article, and our library doesn't subscribe to Knowledge magazine. But I was able to access the iit website. The story of this material is very interesting, and the interviews moving. It's a large project. After browsing the site, I can recommend the following for a relatively brief overview of it: >From the main page, go to "About the project" and click on "In the news". Scroll down for a 4-minute video on the project reported by Fox News in 2007, with limited information. http://voices.iit.edu/project_news A longer and more interesting presentation (22 minutes) is an American Life programme in 2001 (from PBS in the USA) which was the first to actually broadcast from the wire recordings of the interviews. The link which appears farther down the page won't get you there, though, but only to the current American Life. You can get there either by searching at that point on "Boder" or going here: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=95 9 or http://tinyurl.com/yg8hwq6 Two notes on this presentation, titled 197: Before it had a name. First, it begins with a story about cow farming. The Boder story starts a little after the six-minute mark. Second, as this was an early account, some of the details relating to Boder seem sparse and perhaps confused. The interview clips and the commentary on them are nevertheless very interesting. However, it's best to then read the biography of Boder also on the voices webpage. Click on "About the Project", then "David Boder" or go to http://voices.iit.edu/david_boder Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
