Hey.

Don't be too surprised at the lack of response. I've seen the
volume, even read the papers. They're okay, as far as they go--
lots of late '60s radical political stuff mixed in with not very
serious linguistics; it's a historical curiosity anymore. Of
course the whole volume was *meant* to be tongue in cheek, but
like the old Laugh-In, the jokes just aren't funny anymore (at
least to this Me-Generation linguist).
