Murray & Janet, I haven't taken a look at these archives, but it sounds like these might be case histories or personal stories? You mention the possibility of someone doing some digging and finding an Aha connection. Is there any reason why we could not do so ourselves? Both of you seem interested in "data". I most definitely am. I am also a capable analyzer of data, and can do a number of types of analyses, including both univariate and multivariate statistics, analysis of variance and of covariance, and regression analyses. Is there any reason why we couldn't get a grant from the Fox Foundation, or somewhere, to cover our expenses and pay us to do an objective analysis of these archives? Why wait for someone to do it sometime in the future? No time like the present, and no one like ourselves better suited... Marla L.
