Rick: Are you sure you're not making this up? They were going to _masturbate_ Little Albert?????!!! Where in the world did Barker get that from? I've gotta see the original before I believe this one. There've been some strange allegations concerning Watson (such as that he and Rosalie engaged in sex experiments with each other while she was still his student) but I've never heard this one before. -Stephen ______________________________________________________________ Stephen L.
