This is given in the copyright notice for most of the GOR books. Last I heard he was a professor at Queens College in New York City. His field was philosophy (or some such related) and to do one of the required course papers (Pick one of 40+ questions) and get a decent grade, was to have read the first three GOR books. A friend had him...I never went to Queens College. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Robert M.
