Announcement from Larry Victor

I don't know where best to put links to topics I would like others to read and comment on. I will put them on my homepage, Larry Victor, but will also put A Sober Assessment Of Contemporary D&D (which also contains a list of more personally authored Wiki links) here, where others may encounter it.

I am a doctoral student seeking an organization with which I might develop my dissertation research project. I have a keen interest in dialogue as a large-scale intervention technique. I would greatly appreciate any help in this pursuit. Thomas Hoverman (thomas@hoverman.com)
