This is a landing site primarily intended to assist in downloading programs and/or data that have been used in published articles.

You may also be able to find here works in progress, such as my books:

I Spit on your Grave: Essays on Weber and Durkheim

Party Naked: The Talcott Parsons Story,

you may also find malicious gossip about my colleagues here....
