As for the current discussion sparked by Gitlin's book -- I'm all for it. I'm
interested in anything that is substantive and gets me thinking about the
world around me and the people in it. I was interested in what Gitlin had
to say and in Jon's response. I also agree with Jon -- Alexander, start us
on a new topic of conversation of interest to you. . .seems like the worth
of this list is the ability to share whatever issues SI-types might be
interested in discussing.
