Ben, It's a small world. You're a cousin of Nixon's, and I'm a friend of a friend (FOAF) of Albert Upton. My wife Cora's uncle Charlie (Charles Cooper) was hired as a professor of English by the chairman, Albert Upton. Cora said that Charlie would sometimes mention "dinner with the Up

Following are two reviews from the Amazon.com web page for the book by Albert Upton: As review #1 says. DO NOT buy the 1978 version. I ordered the 1963 version from Ebay for $19.95. I believe that #2 is mistaken about the college. Albert Upton was the chairman of the English departmen

Gary F, List, Thank you for posting this excellent short paper by Bellucci, without doubt the best compact analysis I've read of "the roles of mathematics and logic in phaneroscopic analysis." https://www.academia.edu/11664897/Peirce_on_Phaneroscopical_Analysis Several points leapt out to me as e
