Let me ask you something about that. What would we teaching psychologists do without the journals and the expansive data bases maintained by APA? APA keeps our discipline's history fully intact, keeps us up with what is going on now, and assures that future work in the field will be readily available to us all. I think about that every time I pay my dues, and--recognizing that no other organization or publisher fills or would be able or willing to fill that void should APA become weak--make out that check quite willingly.

As I said, I know absolutely nothing about the man as was not criticizing him. For all I know, he is a saint. I was concerned about the premises used to defend him against certain types of criticisms. My points were directed toward Patricia's comments, not toward Dr. Koocher.

Thanks, Stephen. I am glad you said it the way you did, because you don'tand
really know Gerry, and yet he does stop to help anyone who he thinks is
being treated unfairly.
Paul O, are you on board to hear from the "target" himself?
